Beat The Summer Heat With Two Cool New Cassingles!

We are keeping the release schedule busy this summer!  July will see the release of two new EPs in the always classy cassingle format.  First up, Lawsuit Models will bring us "Long Drives/Dark Nights" on 7/5/19.  Lawsuit Models have been with SLN since 2015 and this is their first new music since last year's stellar "Off the Pavement" LP.  We're releasing this in conjunction with our buds at Motorcycle Potluck Records and the release show is slated for 7/6/19 at Streets Denver (yep, in Denver).  Shortly after that, Zephyr will be hitting us with their recording debut, titled "We Like What You Like", on 7/12/19.  Zephyr is a brand new trio from Denver, CO made up of folks that also put work in with Lawsuit Models (how about that!) and Swindlin' Hearts.  They have a release show on 7/13/19 at The Moon Room in Denver.  You can preview singles from each band on our bandcamp sampler right now!

SLN-156 Fills A Listening Gap!

The Dust Heart "The Last Gap + Plastic Walls" stereo lathe cut 7" is out today!  This is our first stereo lathe cut record and the first new Dust Heart music in 2 years.  The tracks are on single sided, clear vinyl with stamped B-side labels with a download code.  Formerly known as Andy Thomas' Dust Heart, this record marks a rebirth of sorts as the fresh Dust Heart tunes feel like the group reaching a light at the end of a long tunnel.  These songs reveal a newfound urgency in Thomas and company.  Quite simply, they ROCK. After years of a folky, almost alt-country approach, the band has pulled a hard left turn to catchy hooks, snarling riffs and big choruses. Don’t be alarmed, though– if any die-hard fans are confused by the lack of pedal steel on the first go-round, you won’t even notice by the second listen when you’re singing along to these power-pop anthems with your friends.  Grab a copy from our web store HERE or download from our bandcamp HERE.  These records can also be found in Denver area stores, your other favorite digi-places and beyond thanks to Recess Ops.  Happy listening!  Pressing Info: 50 hand numbered single sided stereo lathe cut 7"s on clear vinyl with stamped B sides, download code included.

SLN-164/HDBC-001 Howls The Arrival Of A New Series!

Last month, Charlie Continental released a digital single called "Come Howl With Us".  The tune is the theme song for the Werewolf Radar podcast and there are two versions, a Full and an Edit.  A physical release was threatened when the digital single dropped and that threat is now realized!  The Charlie Continental "Come Howl With Us" cassette is the first installment of our brand new Hand Dubbed Buddies Club, or HDBC for short!  What on earth is the Hand Dubbed Buddies Club?!  It's a pretty simple concept.  The HDBC features made to order custom casssettes, hand dubbed and numbered with a personal note from SLN and/or the recording artist.   A download link is included.  HDBC cassettes are only available directly through SLN or the artist themselves.  Customers that order a HDBC release are encouraged to leave SLN and/or the artist a personal note at checkout in our web store, cuz we're all gonna be buddies (if we aren't already) and that's all it takes to be part of the all-inclusive club!  Wanna be an ultra club member?  Sign up for an annual subscription to the club!  HDBC annual subscribers will get Gold Mail Order Edition cassettes numbered in orange plus cool bonuses, while those fans that purchase releases individually will get Gray Open Edition cassettes numbered in blue.  To learn more and subscribe, go HERE.  We think the HDBC is a fun way to be more connected through music and counter-culture, plus it offers a physical format (with cool consistent packaging, plus the gold cassettes match our gold company 45 sleeves!) for releases that might not see a physical pressing otherwise.  The SLN-164/HDBC-001 open edition cassette is available for order in our web store HERE and the digital version is still up on bandcamp HERE as well as all the other streaming and download sites.  We're excited for all the potential this new series has and all the new and old friends that we'll be sharing it with!  We appreciate all the support!  Pressing Info: Hand Dubbed Buddies Club custom cassettes (Gold Mail Order Editions or Gray Open Editions). Only available directly from SLN or the artist. Download link included.

SLN-159 Makes It's Way Across The USA!

The debut release from Washington, DC's Foxhall Stacks is out now!  "Copy Of A Copy Of A Copy Of A Copy" features two exquisite power-pop anthems.  It is available on blue tint cassingle w/ download as well as digitally.  The cassingle is a special edition release, only available as a Jawbox 'An Impartial Overview' tour exclusive.  Bill from Jawbox sings in Foxhall Stacks, so as he's criss-crossing the land with his legendary 90's outfit he's getting folks hip to his soon-to-be-legendary new outfit.  If there are any left over copies they will be sold as standard editions after the tour is complete through our usual outlets, including our web store HERE. The digital version is fully available to all right this very second though!  Grab it from our bandcamp HERE or stream & download from your other fave spots.  We'll be releasing a proper album from Foxhall Stacks in the fall, so stay tuned for that!  Pressing Info: 200 blue tint cassette tapes, download code included. Copies purchased at Jawbox 'An Impartial Overview' 2019 tour stops come with a city-specific obi strip.
