TLAK Goes DIY series presents Night Moods by Los Angeles singer songstress Hawk Percival. It’s an intriguing and highly melodic debut album with twelve short and exceptionally catchy progressive pop tunes that will leave you wanting more. Using piano, synthesizer, and guitar as her main instruments, the tracks reflect her love for 60’s British Invasion Rock, Baroque Pop, Yacht Rock, and Prog Rock. They are inspired by love, heartbreak, intense emotions, and nature.Tracks:1. Night Moods2. The Wintertime3. Nel Tuo Letto4. Eye Lips5. The Lion6. The ...

TLAK Goes DIY series presents the third album from underground popsters LMNOP (aka Stephen Fievet), cleverly titled LMNO3. This album of ultra-catchy guitar pop with clever lyrics and hooks galore, along with Fievet’s deceptively innocent vocals, is fairly described as one of their most accessible. Originally released only as an independent cassette in 1985, this reissue goes back to the recently unearthed master tapes and has been carefully remastered. Several songs went on to be re-recorded for the fourth LP, that was actually on an elpee! ...

ThunderBünny is the creation (and possibly alter ego?) of two‐time Grammy Award–winning Michael Saint‐Leon. The music is classic blues rock with a psychedelic edge. Michael’s songs run the gamut from bad love gone worse (“Driving to Tecopa”), to a prescription for dealing with the contemporary malaise (“Sleeping Pill”), to an epic journey across America (“AnnieMolly”), plus a quick trip to New Orleans with “Keep Your Fingers Crossed.”These nine songs are accompanied by eclectic videos from Switchyard Studio in Nashville, which can be viewed at ...

American Classic is Merz’s third record, a culmination of two years of writing and the finale of a trilogy of albums and ideas that he shorthands as the Duvall Sound. Born and raised in Duvall, Washington in the Snoqualmie Valley, Merz left his home state for Los Angeles a few weeks before shutdowns began in February 2020. American Classic was mostly recorded and mixed in his home in South Central, LA, where he lived for the first year and a half of the pandemic ...

The long-awaited return of ColdWorld, with their third full-length album entitled “Isolation”.Composed during the pandemic-induced lockdown period of 2020/2021, “Isolation” features some of ColdWorld’s most expressive compositions to date. Managing to transcend the conventional sounds pursued in what is best described as the “ambient/depressive” black metal subgenre, ColdWorld’s newest sonic endeavor draws listeners into an incredibly immersive soundscape, rife with lush classical instrumentation and ethereal, yet occasionally harrowing vocals, the first of which is showcased brilliantly on the album’s second track “Soundtrack to Isolation”.Clearly, this music ...

Eventyr“, the debut record by Norwegian folk-act Byrdi, shows the work of two musicians, creatingthe first touch of something bigger than we – as humans – are. On the occasion of the band’s tenthanniversary, Eisenwald re-releases the album digitally and – for the first time – on CD.Byrdi was founded in 2012 by Nash Rothanburg and Jørn Øyhus as an answer to an inner drive tosearch and capture something wild thought evoking and mind-expanding. Using most of 2013 and2014, both ...

Etna“ explores themes that are far more autobiographical. The album is named after the eternal river of childhood and new life. „Etna“ is the source flowing from the mountains and down to the fields, cleaning and purifying everything in its path. Consequently, Jørn Øyhus describes the process of writing the songs on his new piece of art as „like having mirror therapy sessions“. The record tells about the thoughts and ponderings of a man whose life kept falling apart piece by piece until there was ...

Autumnal, drifting, dark and dreamy – the sonic landscapes created by Norwegian folk-act Enge Storeare full of longing and bittersweet nostalgia. Eisenwald has the pleasure to release the debut-record„Det høstes nå“, a collection of songs created over five years.The Oslo-based trio’s name, translating into „Vast meadows”, is indeed indicative of the band’saspiration: to open up a dreamy topography of haunted places and remnants of things lost. Pluckedguitars, pulsating percussion, aching strings, and mournful choirs are signature elements in EngeStore‘s channeling ...

Total Hate returns with their 5th album in their 23-year band history. Uncompromising oldschoolblack metal that once again has its roots in the Scandinavian black metal of the 90s.On their fifth album, the Franconian black-metal-torchbearers do what they do best: Creating music from nostalgics for nostalgics, firing fastly against everything that comes their way. Or to put it with German author Wilhelm Genazino: „It doesn’t take much to loathe the whole world.“Tracklist:1. Black Division (Annihilate!)2. Res Ad Triarios Rediit3. Antichrislem‘s Realm4. Of Worthless ...

Argh, fuck, kill!! Feed Us A Fetus is now 35 years old!! Due to popular demand, here it is once again. Dayglo’s Feed Us A Fetus is their second full-length album, originally released in 1986. This is hands-down, the best Canadian punk record to emerge from the 80’s!! Aside from collecting most of the songs from their first 12” record entitled Out Of The Womb (1981), it also contains many brand new songs (at the time) that were even better than those on the ...

As original as ever, Here Today Guano Tomorrow is Dayglo Abortions’ classic second album from 1987. Sick and demented, yet hilarious! Combining elements of skate punk & crossover with Mike Anus on second guitar, the Dayglo’s continue their sarcastic, often offensive brand of punk in a more metal direction with riffs and solos more complex than those on Feed Us A Fetus. Essential!TRACKLISTING01. Fuck My Shit Smells02. Fuck Satan To Death03. Dragons04. Hide The Hamster05. The Spawn of Yog Sothoth06. Shred Central07. Drugged ...
