Living up to your dreams Chapter 4

over 2,5k really proud of that one Nothing was fine. I mean, it’s been almost eight months together and Dan… Dan opened up a little, even quite a bit to be honest - but Phil knew something wasn't right. Their days consisted of eating breakfast together, always together. Alpha at first made sure to prepare healthy and big meals, because omega seemed to had really low energy, like all the time, and looked ill. But after few weeks together alpha found out that Dan wasn't one for the big breakfasts and Phil, nowadays always tired - because of his last year in uni, couldn't make it everyday - so they opted for cereal.

 - I was thinking… - Phil started, when one day they were sitting on the couch and watching some anime together, like always in the evenings. At first Dan was, even after this really emotional thank you and hugging, quite unsure of closeness, but it was perfectly normal. In Dan’s scent wasn't even a trace of fear, so Phil thought about him just as shy boy, nothing more. But nowadays Dan was almost sitting on his lap, snuggling to his back delicately. Omega wasn't probably even thinking about it, it seemed natural. They’ve got so much closer and comfortable with each other. Especially after all this sleepless nights when Dan was crying profusely - nightmares. He has them quite often and is always ending in Phil’s arms bowling for his mum - what makes alpha uneasy, there was no Omega Howell. But asked about it afterwards Dan just gave Phil the runaround.

 - What are you actually doing when I’m at uni or with friends? - he asked looking at his omega with attention. It was bugging him quite sometime, but he didn't want to breach in anybody’s personal space. Dan didn't even looked up, still with eyes fixed on the screen.  

- Stuff, I’m usually sleeping. - he answered yawning. At first Dan was stubborn about cleaning, like whole place everyday. Phil’s apartment never had been that clean, but in no way, shape or form Dan was his slave. After quite a tiff they came to the conclusion, who will do what and Phil ended up with toilet scrubbing, same when he lived with Ben.  

- Aren't you bored? Or lonely? - Alpha was reluctant at leaving Dan at first, not wanting any suicide attempts at first and lately, because every second without omega seemed painful and stressful. Phil didn't know why he felt that way, probably because this boy was intoxicating. Not only because of the scent, but personality. He was so witty and smart, sarcastic, but soft and delicate on the other hand. Being with him was just easy, between them was almost no walls.  Dan only murmured something like „whatever”, what he did every time conversation was getting uncomfortable. It wasn't conversation for tonight.   

Not quite long, maybe half a week later, they were eating cereal in the kitchen where Dan was reading Phil’s assignment about Nabokov’s Despair. To this time alpha couldn't comprehend when Dan found multiple mistakes in few last of his works. Omegas supposed to be not too smart, don’t they.

 - Please, come in! - young Lester shouted getting up to the door, beside surprised face of his „husband”. They didn't have quests, Phil was not too keen of any other alpha nearly, and Dan understood - he still smelled like sex on legs, sex on the beach and every other possible place. And Phil still got too much hard ons and too less of orgasms.

 - Dan, this is Tilly, our neighbour. She was nice enough to agree spend some time with you! - Phil was so proud of himself, he found solution for omega’s loneliness. A friend, true and safe friend. Other omega, living just two floors below them. Dan smelled it almost instantly, she was a widow - her bond was broken by death. Alpha leaving for uni few minutes later still felt this scolding with anger look in Dan’s eyes.    to phil  shes stupid  sent at 10.11

  to phil  this whole thing is stupid  i dont like her  she asked 4 cleaning supplies and scolded me when i told her that u clean bathrooms  i'm a bad omega now apparently  sent at 11.30

  to stupid arsehole  pls cm back  need to talk to u  actually i want only kill u  sent at 13.45 

 Phil couldn't call or anything, he had lessons and seminars all day and beside that, he thought that everything was fine at home. All omegas are instantly friends, don't they. Its just their scents being calming and all. So when he saw all this messages his heart was instantly in his throat. Bad choice, yet again. God, why Dan couldn't be just normal omega, like all others.  He felt even more anxious when he saw all this alphas circling his home building. What is going on? And why they are looking so out of control, growling at each other and sniffing every corner? He even saw some omega locking the doors of theirs family grocery shop. She felt threatened? And then he smelled it. Attentively protected, but familiar scent of his omega. Dan! What the fuck, he went outside? Alone? Then he looked up and calmed a little. Theirs windows were open. Dan’s scent was so strong that apparently even coming from penthouse, at the top of five stairs building lured others. What the fuck! He run to his flat, nodding to the security beta on they way. Thanks god for them, other way Dan would be claimed long ago.

 - DAN! - he shouted locking door after himself with more attention that ever and even putting one of the armchairs in front of them. God, he was so stupid, stupid and reckless omega. Next move was closing all the windows and to Phil’s surprise almost all of them was open. This fucking boy had a death wish? 

- Dan what the fuck! - he shouted yet again, when omega only emerged from his bedroom with sleepy eyes. He fucking slept again! Alpha didn't even acknowledged that it was first time he raised his voice at omega. Brown haired boy flinched. Why Phil was angry.

 - Why did you opened them! I had clearly forbidden you! - alpha was so so angry. Dan never even saw him in such a rage.

 - Oh sorry, Tilly used some detergents and they made me noxious so I wanted to vent our apartment a little. - he gulped looking at Phil unsure. This whole situation was different and new, he didn't really knew what is going on.  

- Fucking vent a little! Someone could’ve hurt you! That is fucking common sense! - alpha was shouting profusely coming at Dan more and more, and Dan was backing up to the wall. He never felt so angry, he was quite calm of the person per se - but this... He was furious and needed to put all his emotions on omega. 

- I said sorry! I didn't think! - brown haired boy had tears in the eyes. Yeah, fucking cry - he only could do that. What once was enduring quality was now irritating alpha to the end.

 - And what if someone hurt me, that's not your interest anyway. We are just fucking friends! - now Dan’s emotions blowed. He was angry also, because of this stupid idea with Tilly and Phil being oblivious. He didn't need another omega friend, another friend beside Phil maybe, but some kind of interest and passion. He fucking spent all his days behind closed door. How this life was different form life in Howell’s mansion?

 - You are fucking mine! - he growled on the top of his lungs and dave in. In the matter of seconds he was… kissing Dan. And Dan reciprocated it and even moaned into it. 

- Alpha… - he whispers and clenched fists on Phil’s shirt. Kiss was wet, hungry and animalistic, just like omega’s scent. Dan smelled so fucking strong right know, cinnamon and apples was all around young Lester. They were on his clothes, in his apartment, in his mind and every thought. Dan was there, so hot and trembling with anticipation.  They were horny mess and after more that aggressive make out session Phil throw younger boy on the sofa. He couldn't think sober just a minute before, but now Dan made any adult decision infeasible. This view was the most sexy thing alpha ever saw. Dan’s plump lips was red and his breath was rigged.  

- Alpha… More, touch me. - he moaned and almost instantly ripped of his black t-shirt. His scent hit Phil one more and all perseverance alpha had gone to hell. They were kissing, with the same vigour like before, but now Phil’s hands wandered on all of omega’s body. He felt so warm to the touch, all this felt so right. Alpha didn't even knew when he started rubbing theirs clothed erections together.  

- Mine, mine and only mine... - he growled into Dan’s collarbone and traveled with tongue on his neck, especially on mating gland. He needed to bite, make him his and only his. Phil’s erection started to get to painful for trousers so his hand wandered to the south and… He felt it. Dan’s joggers was completely soaked thru. Heat.  Omega was in heat and it triggered Phil’s rut, that explained aggression and this unspeakable desire to touch, mate, breed and claim. 

- Alpha, please… - he heard his pure boy, he was trembling underneath. Dan was also painfully hard and couldn’t think sober. The only thing he knew is that he needed Phil, inside him, so desperate.

 - Dan, no… no. - alpha whispered to himself subconsciously tucking his hand in omega’s pants. He wants to know how it taste, how his sleek tasted… Bet it was sweet, like apples and sharp like cinnamon. It was hot, so fucking hot - bet omega is the same on the inside, Phil almost imagined how heavenly every thrust would feel.  

- Dan… Go upstairs and lock the door from the inside. - he squeezed out of his jammed lungs. This whole thing wasn’t right. They were too taken up with emotions and hormones, both of them.  

- Alpha… please touch me, breed me… - omega wasn't one to stop now. He got up a little and was kissing Phil’s jaw and making all this obscene noises. He needed alpha, he needed his cock inside. Younger boy lowered his hands and now was working on his „husband’s” belt. To him, everything was right and in place.  

- No, Dan. Do it now. - he didn't want to do it, he never wanted to use his inner voice again but this was only way Dan would listen right now. Omega’s body went rigid one more time and with obedience went upstairs. Phil calmed a little only when he heard soft click of locked door. It was so close. God, Phil was so stupid. It has to be Dan’s first ever heat. He didn't have any in spasm of eight moths… God, Phil wed a minor. If omega liked him he… he could’ve slept with a minor. Black haired man felt disgusted of himself, he almost violated the most precious thing in his life.

 - Alpha Phil… please… - he heard cries from upstairs and felt his cock twitch. Without him, or any alpha Dan will be in quite a pain for at least three days. Only remedy on never ending horniness in this state was feeling full… Dan was virgin and with toys he could only hurt himself left on his own, so the most civil thing was to just let him be. But he couldn't be alone - what if something happened?  

-Louise? I will pay… - he mumbled to the phone. There was almost no-one who could possibly watch Dan at this state and with every moan coming from upstairs Phil was more and more on the edge. Tilly or Sophie, his brothers wife, were out of question. That strong heat, first heat, could trigger theirs and this whole situation will be even bigger mess.  

- What are you even thinking? You are his alpha, just take care of him. - the only solution was his ex-secretary. They worked together at Seven Second Challenge App, but after that Phil took his company to hold. He thought more prudently would be take time to finish his course and took someone home. Now he doesn't know if it was good decision.  

- We are not b… on good therms right now. - he whispered almost slipping. Nobody knew they weren't bonded, not even his mother. They would took Dan back into Howell’s mansion and whole city would think that Phil is impotent and not good enough alpha. Louise as beta, as well as widowed omega Tilly, don't register scents. His blond ex secretary sighed. She wasn't the best in her job, but regardless warm and friendly person.  

- Leave keys in security, I will come.   She was so put off by Phil. Louise always thought about him as kinda cool guy for a alpha, but this was kick in the shin. Leaving his own omega alone in heat? She never understood why they were so proud of this whole animalistic and, in her opinion, barbarian „lifestyle". They didn’t had choice tho. It was all hormones, they were born like that.

 - Hello… - she asked as soon as she entered the apartment, locking it after herself. It wasn't that safe with smelly omega. She was here few times before, for work and parties. Phil was kinda a party animal. Blond woman assumed that his husband was getting off somewhere in the house. Thought of it put her off even more. Fuck Phil. There were few articles for betas, how to take care of omega in heat. Some of them were hired as someone like it - when for example alpha was out of the country.  

- Alpha… Please, somebody… - loud pleas and cries came from outside just as the girl ended pouring orange juice for vitamins, some tea for tummy ache, cold water for dehydration and few biscuits just for sure. There wasn't really much she could do… 

- Em, its Louise… Phil send me to help, can you maybe... open, honey? - she asked not really sure what to do, but regardless this poor omega was in pain. She heard low and heavy breathing and door floor open, after soft click. Why he locked his door? He was afraid of his alpha. Was Phil abusive? Oh god, this boy was complete mess. First thing she registered was that in fact, he was younger than Phil - but for an omega quite tall.

 - Who… who are you? - Dan mumbled clearly loosing up a little. She was beta, he was kinda safe. Blond girl really wanted to answer but in the same second younger boy dave into in suite bathroom and loud shriek distributed all around the house. He was vomiting almost two hours, every time Louise forced even a little water into him. At maybe three in the morning they both collapsed into Dan’s bad. Omega needed to be hold, not by alpha or other omega, just by someone. In this whole time she learned that omega’s name was Dan, very pretty, and he heard almost every story about her daughter, Darcy. It made his maybe a little at peace.  

- It hurts so much… - he cried into her neck and clenched fists on her t-shirt, the same as before with Phil, but so weak. He was really dehydrated, pain in his lower belly was too much. He needed someone. 

- I know… I will kill Phil for you. - she whispered into boy’s hair and got up. How he could have left him? Dan soaked thru another pair of pants, Louise wanted to think about it as really strong period.  

- Phil is nice… he is my friend. - he mumbled really softly closing his eyes.  - We are not bonded… he didn't want to hurt me...   

Phil wasn't feeling nice, he felt disgusting - and what was worse nothing could help with his stimulation, it was so fucking painful. After almost half of the bottle of vodka in nearly bar, he hoped to blacked out, but no amount of alcohol could abolish power of rut. Only sweet release. He was considering going to brothel, but using some poor omega, it wasn’t his style. That’s why he found himself knocking on Benjamin’s door. 

- And who we have here… - his ex-best friend and ex boyfriend was looking at him with the cheeky smile. Nowadays Phil came only for fast sex so this whole situation wasn’t new.  

- Oh god, you smell so fucking good… - Ben was now liking his neck and locking the door simultaneously. If anyone found out that two alphas… 

- Your sweet omega is in heat and you are here, who would have thought. - he laughed, but Phil couldn't think, he could only shut others alpha mouth with kiss. He needed to touch now, to bite and to fuck… Ideally Dan, the memory of his naked wrecked body for too much right now. Normally when Ben said something about Dan on this encounters alpha got mad, but if in this moment scent of his omega on him was a turn on - great, Phil was glad they scented each other.  His sweet release came later, it came strong and with hard feeling on his chest. Dan…

dearborn, mi 48126 313-581-9322

so many great new releases this week!!! wow!! call or email us if there is something you would like to place on hold or do mailorder for. we use realy great mailers!! new items for friday SEPTEMBER 22nd 2017 VATrax Test (Excerpts From The Modular Network 1981-1987)2LP $31.99

Trax Test is the first ever survey of Italy's pioneering, visionary, and influential label and mail art collective Trax, which ran from 1981-1987 as a network for the creation of collaborative projects. The collective included a pre-NWW Colin Potter and some of the earliest work from Masami Akita, aka Merzbow, but also had deep connections with the art world; a few Trax members went on to become famous designers and artists -- Ettore Sottsass of hugely influential Memphis Group even guests on vocals on the last track of the compilation. The whole selection here is rare as heck and sorely in-demand by collectors, much of it now making its vinyl premiere some 30-odd years after the fact. With credit due to compilers Vittore Baroni of Trax and Ecstatic's avowed wave fiend, Alessio Natalizia (Not Waving) -- who was also behind the Mutazione (Italian Electronic & New Wave Underground 1980-1988) compilation (2013) -- Trax Test is a portal to the international scene which laid the grassroots for a proliferation of electronic music over the proceeding decades -- a pioneering part of the infrastructure for independent music distribution which could be said to pre-echo the myriad social networks and platforms today. As Frans De Waard astutely points out in the 16-page booklet, there were no "templates" for this thing back then, meaning artists did everything DIY: from cutting, pasting, and Xeroxing their artwork to experimenting with recording techniques and disseminating their work; all resulting in a wonderfully daring and freeform mosaic of ideas which valued the virtues of ostensibly "unfinished" or open-ended work. Traces of disco, cosmic krautrock, jazz, electro-pop, and industrial noise are all tessellated across the compilation's 25 tracks, with a number of artists and the same equipment -- cheap drum machines, synths, FX and tape -- cropping up in various, mutant formations. This set is right up there with the best compilations from Vinyl On Demand, Light Sounds Dark, or Minimal Wave. Features: Cancer, M.A.Phillips, Nausea, Amok, Mecanique Vegetale, Daniele Ciullini, E-Coli, The Cop Killers, Peter Mayer, Rod Summers, Robin Crozier, Capitalist Pig, Biagio D'egidio, Piermario Ciani, Vittore Baroni, Nocturnal Emissions, De Rezke, Ado Scaini, Enrico Piva, Giancarlo Martina, B Sides, Colin Potter, Naif Orchestra, Merzbow (Vacation Of Merzbow Lowest Music & Arts), Monty Cantsin, Die Form, Utopia Production, Spirocheta Pergoli, Nostalgia, Ptose, Ddaa, Zone Verte, and I Nipoti Del Faraone. Mastered by Matt Colton at Alchemy. NINOS DU BRASILVida Eterna LP $29.99

Nico Vascellari and Nicolò Fortuni come out to play in the dark on their third and deadliest LP as Ninos Du Brasil, taking their fascinations with ritual musics -- from Brazilian Afro-Latin tribal rhythms to library music and freezing Scandinavian BM -- deep into the festering undergrowth of their shared, exotic aesthetic. Where the cover of their first album for Hospital Productions, Novos Mistérios (HOS 411CD, 2014), depicted a naked man covered by a leopard pelt, Marvin Gaye Chetwynd's oil painting of a screeching Chiroptera in flight on the Vida Eterna jacket makes a strong visual allegory for NDB's finer tuned spatial sensitivities inside, with their churning rhythms now embedded in fathoms of dread space and father shaded in layers of processed vocal chants, both punk, metal, and tribalistic. The big highlight is no doubt the closing cut, "Vagalumes Piralampos", where Arto Lindsay, the legendary founder of DNA, chimes in on a stygian, moonlit jag between the eyes of bossa nova, batacuda, and the sort of esoteric electronics also charted by Rainforest Spiritual Enslavement or Cienfuegos. But it only really makes sense after you've expended your energies along with the band thru monstrous techno shakedowns such as "O Veto Chama Seu Nome", the soca-like rush of "Condenado Por Un Idioma Desconhecido", or found yourself lost, without coordinates, in the pitch black breakdown of "No Meio Da Noite" and have been hypnotized by the stalking rhythms and atmospheres of "Em Que O Rio Do Mar Se Toma". The creation of this album, inspired by vampirism, was born from a collaboration between Vascellari and Fortuni with producer Rocco Rampino, whose love of dense textures and low-end bombast masterfully and cleverly couples with the bands explosive percussive charge, resulting in eight tracks that mimic sharp blades scything through a nocturnal jungle. RIYL: Psychedelic Warriors Of Gaia, Female, Vatican Shadow. Cut at Dubplates & Mastering, Berlin. Comes in a gatefold jacket. OZKENT, MUSTAFAGenclik Ile Elele LP $25.99

2017 repress, black vinyl. "Originally released in Turkey 1973, Özkent's masterpiece (creation) of an all instrumental Turkish Psychedelic Funk album, filled with classic beats and breaks still inspires long time fans and first time listeners. The funky rhythms, hypnotic percussions, and heavy break beats makes this a holy grail amongst DJ's and music fans alike. Only a handful of copies from the original pressing are known to still exist making this reissue a welcome addition to any record collection. The concept is very complicated, futuristic and free from categorization. Traditional folk songs mixed with rock, jazz, blues, funk and psych. Özkent took traditional turkish folk songs and reconstructed them for the new 'hip' generation. It was recorded live in just one day with some of the best studio musicians in Turkey. The band was made up of 2 drummers, 2 guitarists, 2 percussionists, a bassist and a Hammond B3 organist. Özkent created his own unique guitar sound by adding extra frets and a clutch of effect pedals in order to create quarter notes and emulate turkish traditional scales. Mustafa Özkent has since made arrangements for hundreds of other artists in Turkey. But this unique album documents his most revered work. In the more than 40 years since the Mustafa Özkent Ve Orkestrası recorded Gençlik İle Elele, it seems that the world is still just discovering this gem." SILVER APPLESSilver Apples LP $26.99

2017 repress. Formed in 1967 as a psychedelic electronic duo featuring Dan Taylor on drums and Simeon on a homemade synthesizer consisting of 12 oscillators (and an assortment of sound filters, telegraph keys, radio parts, lab gear and a variety of second hand electronic junk), Silver Apples quickly gained a reputation as New York's leading underground musical expression. Their pulsating rhythmic beats with the use of electronics laid the groundwork for what would become 'Krautrock' Silver Apples was released in 1968 and still remains an innovative and revolutionary album. Their highly influential sound has influenced countless bands from Stereolab, Beastie Boys, Blur and more." VINCENTFast Forward 12" $21.99

Music From Memory return with four tracks drawn from the St. Louis musician Virgil "Vincent" Work Jr.'s cassette debut from 1987, Fast Forward. Following a compilation taken from one of Virgil's collaborative projects, Workdub (MFM 012EP, 2016), this album reflects a more stripped back and raw musical approach. Experimenting with rhythm programming, midi, layering, sequencing, digital effects, and sound synthesis, the Fast Forward sessions grew from a series of late night jams with Vincent's brother Scott. The songs that would form Fast Forward evolved out of improvisation, lending a unique often spatial and searching quality to the tracks. O'DWYER, AINEGallarais LP $24.99

David Toop, on hearing Áine O'Dwyer's Gallarais and the subsequent conversations between November 2016 and January 2017. "Sleep music, the underworld. Twenty-six letters were sent, not far to travel, from Proust, hypersensitive writer to his upstairs neighbour, Marie Williams -- 'I was rather troubled by noise . . . I was trying to sleep off an attack. But at 8am the tapping on the parquet was so distinct that the Veronal didn't work and I woke with the attack still raging.' Marie Williams played harp, though it was not the harp that dragged Proust from the fumes of a bedroom armed against asthma attacks, cork-lined to smother noise.. . . Proust spoke of an imperceptible breath, 'like the wind breathing into the stem of a reed', mingling with the subdued song of his dying grandmother's breathing, 'swift and light . . . gliding like a skater towards the delicious fluid', the human sighs released at the approach of death . . . 'Who's there?' cries out the old man, stark terror pulled awake at the faintest of noises from pitch black vicinity of an unseen doorway. . . . There is one voice or two, whispers of shaping breath thrown into far obscure and occult recesses of the space as if spirits on the wing whose feathers shriek and keen. They are swans with near-human heads, carrying the lightness of souls, moving between dry land of the living, subterranean rivers of the dead. Sleep music they make, its murmurs written by the method of 'passive writing', a transcribing of tongues unknown to all but the most open of listeners. . . . The space was a cave, a tunnel, a room without windows. A skull without eyes, ears, nostrils, mouth, though as Beckett had noticed, the soul turns in this cage as in a lantern, silence 'beating against the walls and being beaten back by them'; the space was a chapel, upturned boat, perhaps the curragh that carried Maildun and his crew to the Isle of Weeping, the Isle of Speaking Birds, the Palace of Solitude. . . . 'Within a house described by Mary Butts, in Ashe of Rings (1998), the bronze note of a clock rings, 'like a body falling bound into deep water'. . . . The body descended into the tunnel, never to return as itself." Sky Music: A Tribute To Terje RypdalCD $16.99

Guitarist and composer Terje Rypdal (1947) is probably as close as one gets to a living legend in Norwegian music. He has received a number of awards, including three Norwegian Grammies (Spellemannpris), the last being the honorary award in 2005. Sky Music is a heartfelt celebration of an inspirational artist and truly unique guitarist who hasn't fully received the due credit and recognition he deserves for over 50 years of music making. Initiated by the experimental US guitarist and lifelong Rypdal fan Henry Kaiser, Rune Grammofon put together an all-star band including keyboardist and long-time Rypdal side-kick Ståle Storløkken (Elephant9, Supersilent), bassist Ingebrigt Håker Flaten (Scorch Trio, The Thing), drummer Gard Nilssen (Bushman's Revenge), guitarists Even H. Hermansen (Bushman´s Revenge) and Hedvig Mollestad, Finnish guitarist Raoul Björkenheim (Scorch Trio), and Swedish guitarist Reine Fiske (Dungen). Kaiser also played and produced while Hans Magnus Ryan (Motorpsycho) added bits and pieces and Jim O'Rourke beamed in his exquisite contributions to "Sunrise" from Tokyo. Bill Frisell, Nels Cline, and David Torn delivered their solo interpretations, Cline with the aid of cellist Erik Friedlander. AUBURN LULL Hypha CD $16.99

vinyl coming soon

The reclusive midwesterners return from dormancy with nine stunning, elegantly sparse tracks that showcase the band at its most focused, melodic, and mysterious. While distinctly sounding like Auburn Lull, Hypha veers into uncharted territory, delivering surprises at every turn. The hallmark cavernous guitars and vast, slow-motion expanses, though still present, are reigned in, restrained, and paired with a newfound sense of minimalism and a broader palette of sounds, textures, and shapes. While the band have existed for more than 20 years, they've always remained a well-kept secret to the wider indie community. Hypha is a brilliant example of why the band's rich textures and precise compositions are adored by so many. "... discerning ears will find that Auburn Lull's rich tapestry is as dangerously hypnotic and transporting as it is soothing." --Tiny Mix Tapes WIRE, THE#404 October 2017 $10.50

"Jlin, Frances Morgan profiles the Chicago footwork outlier. Meanwhile, inside the issue... Tomokazu Hayashi essays a user's guide to the pioneering electronica of Yellow Magic Orchestra, Ryuichi Sakamoto and Haruomi Hosono. Geeta Dayal meets veteran Swiss visual artist and kosmische music producer Walter Wegmüller. Invisible Jukebox: Penny Rimbaud; Epiphanies: Noel Meek; Inner Sleeve: Paul Steinbeck; Global Ear: Portland; Unofficial Channels: Pop Not Slop. And in the Bites section, we feature: Hanba!, PSF reissues on Black Editions, Marianna Simnett and Dominique Lawarlee." GODSPEED YOU BLACK EMPEROR Luciferian Towers lp $22.99

cd $14.99

The sound of Godspeed’s radical fury takes a sideline on their impeccably composed sixth album. It contains their most melodic and powerfully positive-sounding music to date. RITUAL HOWLS 12" Their Body $14.99

Ritual Howls are a unique brand of industrial rock with death jangle-like guitars. Collaboratively, Ritual Howls create a surreal, introspective gloom that could fuel a disco in hell, a soundtrack to your favorite nightmares and most grisly fantasies MOGWAI Every Country's Sun clear vinyl lp $26.99

Every Country's Sun takes two decades of Mogwai's signature, contrasting sounds - towering intensity, pastoral introspection, synth-rock minimalism, DNA-detonating volume - and distills it, beautifully, into 56 concise minutes of gracious elegance, hymnal trance-rock, and transcendental euphoria. Produced by psych-rock luminary Dave Fridmann, it's a structural soundscape built from stark foundations up; from a gentle, twinkling, synth-rock spectre to a solid, blown-out, skyward-thrusting obelisk. There's percussive, dream-state electronics ("Coolverine"), church organs as chariots of existential fire ("Brain Sweeties"), tremulous, foreboding bleeping -Â possibly from a dying android ("aka 47"). Their most transportive album yet, it also hosts their most fully realized art-pop sing-along of their storied history, "Party In The Dark," a head-spinning disco-dream double-helix echoing New Order and The Flaming Lips, featuring Braithwaite's seldom-heard melodic vocals declaring he's "directionless and innocent, searching for another piece of mind". This is music as a keep-out chrysalis, protective audio armor through exalting organs and portentous, dissonant guitar fuzz warping at the edges, bending the world inside-out into a reality in which you'd much rather live. The last three songs ascend into explosive exorcism, closing with the colossal "Every Country's Sun," its searching intensity whooshing towards infinity in a dazzling cosmic crescendo. LINA TULLGREN lp Won $19.99

Lina Tullgren is from Southern Maine just over the border of the northernmost seacoast of New Hampshire. It's an unexpected location for artistic incubation, but osmosis is bound to occur when you grow up surrounded by family, friends, and weirdos interacting at all times with their own interpretations of creative output. Shifting in trainings and traditions, the 23 year old eventually found herself a voice with the electric guitar, uniquely flavored and shaped from the many years of fiddle lessons and classical technique. The shifts in genre and instrumentation are stark, but important for her growth as a songwriter. Lina's morphing interaction with music has mirrored a growing determination to harness her ability to melodically and lyrically express complex emotions - a rare gift at such a young age.With 2016's Wishlist EP - recorded to tape at the home of band mate Ty Ueda - Lina proved an ability to craft simple, introspective and succinct songs, each one a pulsing glow leaving you both hollow and whole, alone but never lonely. It is on Lina's debut album Won that we reap the full rewards of this newfound confidence in expression and rejection of internal hesitation. "The writing doesn't necessarily get easier, but I feel more comfortable tapping into emotions and going to those places that need to be written about. Won, as it turned out, is the product that I have been hearing and picturing in my head as I write and listen to music." It is the product of what happens when you push past the fear of what it means to think out loud - to become accountable for your internal struggles by way of manifesting your ideas into songs that are then free to grow apart from you, to exist on their own while always remaining specifically implicative of you. Now backed by a full band, each track manages to remain piercingly intimate, sometimes brief, and always honest, while gaining a wholly new sense of gestation both sonically and lyrically. BEHIND THE SHADOW DROPS lp Harmonic $20.99

cd also $13.99

Behind the Shadow Drops is the new solo endeavor from Takaakira 'Taka' Goto, founding guitarist and composer of iconic Japanese experimental rock group, MONO. Established in 2016, Behind the Shadow Drops combines Goto's disparate but commensurate interests in many different forms of music, most notably ambient, trip-hop, industrial minimalism, and modern classical. Recorded at Goto's home studio and mixed with esteemed producer and percussionist, John McEntire (Tortoise, The Sea and Cake, Yo La Tengo), H a r m o n i c merges Goto's dynamic, moody compositions with McEntire's renowned drum programming and percussive sensibilities. What begins as a passing resemblance to the more melancholy work of Goto's ensemble, MONO, slowly mutates into something otherworldly, submerging in a symphony of synths, drum machines, noise loops, and mournful strings (courtesy of Los Angeles experimental cellist, Helen Money). Resembling something like waves rippling in the ocean under a cloudy moonlit sky, H a r m o n i c is as eerie as it is beautiful - a vast abyss punctuated by seemingly endless glimmers of light. OMNI lp Multi-Task $15.99

red vinyl

Atlanta, GA trio Omni charges out of the gate in 2016, stunning everyone within earshot with their debut longplayer, "Deluxe"; a dizzyingly refreshing amalgam of wiry post-punk jitters & a dash of zen cool. "Multi-task" is their latest offering & all signs point to the coveted goal of "next level".Guitarist Frankie Broyles (ex-Balkans/Deerhunter) & bassist/vocalist Philip Frobos (Carnivores) crafted "Deluxe"s eleven tracks in their practice space with friend & engineer Nathaniel Higgins. They returned to Higgins for "Multi-task", recording basic drum tracks at Higgins' home studio & overdubbing bass, guitar, vocals & more during two separate trips to a remote cabin in the woods near Vienna, Georgia."Multi-task" is a more musically adventurous step forward for the band, keeping the frantic, fleet-fingered fingerpicking of Broyles' guitar work & Frobos' dead-cool delivery while expanding their musical palette & to include whispers of post-Roxy glam & Postcard Records pop. "Multi-task" balances the bandâ€™s trademark off-kilter & unconventional jams with an elegance not found in many of their contemporaries, Omni pulls it off with grace & style, still whirring on their minimalist funk-fused agit-pop while creating an album that is awash in the excitement of new love, or fleeting attraction - a journey from that dizzying buzz of first date pheromones found twirling on the dance floor to the cab ride cool-down to home (or wherever.) WAYFARING STRANGERS Acid Nightmaresdouble lp $26.99

cd $16.99

first few copies will come with a cool numero record tote bag and deluxe label catalogAs the hippie movement hurdled towards its emanate demise, bad vibes infiltrated the rock world. Tainted LSD, loud motorcycles, and a series of brutal deaths spawned inspiration for guitar-wielding teenagers across the globe. Implementing deafening fuzz and satanic screams to create their proto-metal monstrosities, short-lived stoner bands pressed their lysergic experiments in microscopic quantities before blacking out entirely. Lifted from the ashes of the acid rock hell fire are 18 distorted tales of dope fiends, pill poppers, and the baddest of trips. Deluxe 2LP comes housed in a blacklight poster-style jacket, replete with flocking and lysergic neon. 24 pages documenting the creeping existential dread of the hard rock underground are tucked into the gatefold pocket alongside two dead dinosaur-heavy LPs. Compact disc is packaged in standard Numero slipcase, with digipak and 40-page book, limited to 2000 copies. METZ lp Strange Peace $18.99

loser edition vinyl

“We tracked fourteen songs in four days. It was the first time we felt confident enough to just play live and roll tape,” METZ guitarist/vocalist Alex Edkins explained of the recording process in a press statement. “Strange Peace is much more diverse and varied than anything we’ve done before, which was exhilarating, but terrifying, too. We took the tapes home to Toronto feeling like we’d made the record we wanted to make.” In terms of theme, the tracks on the LP are said to be about “uncertainty.” “They’re about recognizing that we’re not always in control of our own fate, and about admitting our mistakes and fears,” Edkins continued. “They’re about finding some semblance of peace within the chaos.” Waxahatchee - American Weekend $20.99

Creep Mission is an album of instrumental compositions with Grubbs's effortlessly recombinant electric guitar at its core, and its m.o. is to go both deep and wide. The album goes deep in the sense that the guitar becomes the relentless, meditative focus of these songs without words, and it goes wide in that these pieces utilize a discontinuous set of arrangements that make the most out of an extraordinary group of musicians convened for the mission at hand. Wand - Plum lp $20.99

Wand are back, with music colored weird orange and rouged to Plum. Teeming, dense, at times wildly multichromatic sounds; an idiom, an inside joke, a talisman, a bookmark, a mood ring, a long evening's shadow of loss and longing. And meanwhile all the shifting weather, the wireless signals, the helicopters overhead.... Tricky - ununiform lp $25.99

Tricky returns with his 13th album, ununiform, out in September on his own label False Idols via !K7 Music. It's a delicate, storming, intricate album that sees Tricky take perhaps his most radical step yet a journey into happiness and contentment.It's a record that shows the legendary British producer confront his legacy, history, family & even death itself. And in all of this, he finds the strangest, least familiar thing & peace. Laraaji - Bring On The Sun + Sun Gong (CD) $16.99
