The debut full-length album by Seattle's Mommy Long Legs!

• Repress on blue-colored vinyl

• Back on cassette for the first time since 2018

Psychotic Spew is the debut album by Seattle Gunk Pop trio, Black Ends. An album long awaited by many, it is a dark and brooding achievement that breaks and creates you at every corner. From the highest highs of ‘Bent’ to the lowest lows of ‘Bye-Bye!’, there is a song for everyone here. Black Ends does not hold back yet a single feeling as the songwriting is sprinkled with as much catchy and clever humor as it is a mesmerizing and perfect sadness. The album is strewn with astounding instrumentation throughout with stand-out string performances by legendary composer and cellist, Lori Goldston. This is not an album to ignore - in fact, it is an album everyone should try at least once - just to feel like you’ve lived a little.

Casual Hex is a three-piece band formed in the PNW in 2015 by Erica Miller, Jessie Odell, and Nick Anderson. Rooted in post-punk, no-wave, and noise rock, their sound thrives on the tension between heaviness and minimalism, catchiness and dissonance.

While difficult to define a direct influence, traces of Pylon, Unwound, A Frames, and early Sonic Youth come through in their dissonant, catchy style. Jessie’s driving bass lines lay the foundation as Erica’s commanding vocals cut through with sharp, narrative intensity. The lyrical content is heady and cryptic, encouraging the listener to question human behavior and inspire positive change.

Their latest release features Anthony Beauchemin on drums, while Keegan Wiltshire joins them for their live performances.

Despite posing as a Seattle-based music ensemble, the true origins and motives of So Pitted remain a mystery. Eyewitness accounts and blurry cellphone footage sightings of the band have rapidly increased, putting relevant agencies on high alert. Further documentation of their activities appears in the sophomore album release CLONED, distributed by the underground faction Youth Riot Records on March 8, 2024.

Until this recent warning, some assumed the threat of So Pitted had subsided. Meanwhile, the group toiled in darkness summoning sonic aberrations with the supervision of Tad Doyle, a noted paranormal expert and musician. What emerged are 12 transmissions of post-nuclear visions,  mutant transformations, and existential terror. Unidentified inside sources claim singer Nathan Rodriguez astrally projects into parallel realities to steal unreleased material from other musicians, leaving hints of their origins in song titles. One musicologist exposed to leaked copies of the recording disappeared and has not yet been located.

Thrill-seekers and academics alike have tracked their movements across the country reporting unexplainable phenomena like floating lights, subliminal influence, and what one researcher described as “musical abduction”, emerging from a trance-like state with no sense of time or place. Many attendees observed a member known as Ziam has been seen to either shapeshift or phase in and out of space. Others claim that no such person exists and that one or all band members may be hallucinatory projections. Authorities caution civilians to remain vigilant in monitoring the activities of So Pitted to ensure the safety and security of the public.

Wimps are at it again with City Lights, another slacker punk moshterpiece ready for the internet to gobble up. Lead singer and composer Rachel Ratner offers stark and playful wordage melding minimalist hooky riffage to cover such prescient topics as the rise of ubiquitous ai (Mind Reader); loneliness, growing inequality, and the loss of community and self (City Lights); a yearning for a return to a feral past (Animal); pollution and climate terrorism (Lake Washington), creating life (Mom) and promising a maybe undeliverable hope to that life during an unceasing pandemic (Morning), among other daily mundanity. Dave Ramm is the drummer and Matt Nyce plays bass.

Indeed, wimps’ City Lights may well stand as an artifact of humanity in a time of increasingly glossed and flawed expression. An imperfect, live, energetic, human statement made by 3 imperfect, mostly alive, yet rapidly deteriorating early 40s bit players of various Seattle whos and whats of a time long ago and soon to be forgotten. City Lights is a collection of solid classic wimps bops from stop to finish.

“Tacoma, Washington’s Enumclaw bill themselves as ‘The Best Band Since Oasis,’ but they’re self-released and, thanks to COVID, have never had a chance to play a live show…Blown-out guitars and languid beats conjure a sort of dingy, Pacific Northwest shoegaze.” - Marc Hogan, Pitchfork

“Last year was a banner year for Tacoma-based rock band Enumclaw.

After dropping their first single "Fast N All" in early 2021, the band blew up, nabbing features in the Seattle Times, KEXP, Pitchfork, and The Fader before playing any public live shows. In April, they dropped their debut EP Jimbo Demo to rare reviews. And just last week, Enumclaw announced Luminelle Recordings signed them. Things are only looking up for the grungy four-piece…

Citing bands like Nirvana, Radiohead, Mötley Crüe, Drake, and Weird Al Yankovic as influences, Enumclaw's sound is a mashup of shoegaze, post-grunge, and emo. The mix is a kind of ironic evocation of the music that made the Pacific Northwest so popular in the '90s. There's an angst inherent to the band's distorted guitar and disaffected, flat singing, with lyrics earnest enough to make you want to sing along—like when Johnson speak-sings with his characteristically brash vulnerability, "Remember when we were kids/ How did it end up like this/Those are the days that I miss" on Jimbo Demo album opener ‘Cents’.” - Jas Keimig, The Stranger

• Remastered for vinyl by Jonathan Schenke

Jo Hirabayashi–the singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer behind Canada’s Jo Passed–is very much alive, even though his sophomore album, Away, took eight years to come out. You can’t, or shouldn’t, rush a good thing, and this collection of 11 layered indie rockers is as honest and real as it gets.  With his 2018 debut LP Their Prime (Sub Pop) long behind him, Away showcases Hirabayashi at his creative best, and is the culmination of a long and arduous road on which he suffered burnout and anxiety as he scrapped various versions before arriving at its final state. “Away is a process record–about processing, about the process of making music, and the process of navigating one's own psyche,” he notes.
