PARADE OF FLESH

An almost weekly assortment of musical oddities purchased by or given to POF.

The BODY - All The Waters Of The Earth Turned To Blood 2 xLP (aum war) - Three sided gatefold LP edition; limited to 500 copies.

The BODY - S/T (self) - Out-of-print three song debut.

CHEAP TIME/BAD SPORTS - Split 7″ (scion a/v) - Denton/Austin band gets some major props by getting selected for the Scion A/V Garage split 7″ series; joining alums Black Lips, The Spits, Oblivians and many other established and upcoming notable garage/punk acts.

CLASS ACTRESS - Journal of Ardency 10″ (terrible) - Five song 10″ debut from Brooklyn electronic pop trio. Terrible Records is run by guy in Grizzly Bear. Girl in band is fairly attractive too.  She is way better as an electronic heiress than a singer-songwriter which was her previous stint.

CROCODILES - Sleep Forever 7″ (fat possum) - B-side features covers of “Groove is in the Heart” and “California Girls”.

SMALL BLACK - Small Black EP (jagjaguwar) - Remastered with 2 additional songs, “King of Animals” and ” Baby Bird Pt. 2″.  Small Black, since October, has been highly touted in many blogs; mainly for their split 7″ with Washed Out; which features a remixed version of “Despicable Dogs” originally from this EP. MP3 of “Despicable Dogs” from Small Black EP and “Photojournalist” from their debut full length, New Chain, which comes out October 26th.

Sunday, OCT. 10th, 2010 - 10/10/10 -
Hailed by The Quietus  for their “opulent mixture of brooding electronics, crackling guitars and mythological rhetoric”, though Esben and the Witch’s early work is equally brooding and beautiful, we’re pretty confident Rachel, Daniel and Thomas had only skimmed the surface of what they’re capable of.  Their debut Matador EP, the limited 12″, ‘Marching Song’, is scheduled for release on October 11th (October 12 in North America), augmented by two new songs, ‘Done Because We Are Too Menny’ and ‘Souvenirs’.  The band’s first full length album is tentatively scheduled for release in early 2011.

First US Tour for UK act, ESBEN & THE WITCH or here. More sexiness on the bill with: Darktown Strutters as main support.

more tba soon

When the boredom of this sweltering hot summer forced hibernation this month, I went on a scavenge for THOU vinyl. While THOU’s entire discography is available in mp3 format on their website, I still sought out any of their vinyl that was possibly available. The artwork, packaging and overall effort put into THOU’s releases is impeccable. The majority of their releases are split 12″s with fully printed artwork, liner notes and lyrics on inner jackets and more.
