NEW THIS WEEK AT THE SHOP:

Hey there, SD fans. Welcome to our first quarantine edition of the Words on Sounds email. A rundown of this week's new releases is below, available for curbside pickup, local delivery, and via US post. If you'd like any of these titles, or anything else your heart desires, please call or email the store to reserve. 

IMPORTANT! Below the new stuff, you will see a list of upcoming releases for the next two weeks. If you would like any of these titles, please email evan@strictlydiscs.com to pre-order. We will be ordering to meet demand, and we don't want you to miss out. 

ONE MORE THING! We have been adding some of our more eclectic new LP inventory on our Discogs page at https://www.discogs.com/seller/store1988/profile . Have a virtual browse, and let us know if there is anything you would like reserved. 


A new picture disc edition of the breakout debut album from BLACK PUMAS, searing psychedelic soul


'Mixing Colours', the result of a fifteen-year collaboration between ROGER ENO and his slightly-more-famous brother BRIAN ENO, melodic ambient drawing on Schubert


Elegant and deep modern jazz from MATTHEW TAVARES and LELAND WHITTY, one-half of the Badbadnotgood quartet


The latest ritualistic future jazz from Chicago quintet IRREVERSIBLE ENTANGLEMENTS on the International Anthem label


'Through Water', the first album in four years from dream-pop songwriter LAPSLEY


Fresh noirish folk-pop from the recently very busy RUSTIN MAN, better known as the bassist of Talk Talk, and from his collaboration with Beth Gibbons


A new LP from RATGRAVE, the duo of Germans Max Graef and Julius Conrad. Ridiculously peppy, acrobatic jazz fusion meets...dungeon synth? Fantastic


A cracking new compilation of contemporary UK IDM from the label MASSAGE BRAIN CULT, big for fans of Aphex Twin or the recent Brainwaltzera releases


'Hypermagic Mountain', the beefiest album from Providence noise/art/grind duo LIGHTNING BOLT, back in print for the first time in fifteen years

The first ever vinyl repress of JON HASSELL's landmark 1978 album 'Vernal Equinox', one of Pitchfork's Top 50 Ambient albums of all time (for good reason)


A beautiful reissue of the 1976 South African disco-funk rarity from THE STAR BEAMS, a grail-level party essential


Classic, soulful rocksteady reggae from DERRICK MORGAN and His Friends, a 1968 album that still sounds brand new


 
 
New techno and chilled house EPs from MALL GRAB, MAX ESSA, and the potent combination of MAURICE FULTON and PEGGY GOU, plus 'Dokutsu', the latest deeply-detailed EP of lighthearted yet layered electronic dynamism from Japanese producer FOODMAN

RECORD STORE DAY IS JUNE 20, 2020:

Launched in 2007 with the humble idea to recognize independent record stores, Record Store Day (RSD) has blossomed into a global phenomenon. The list of RSD exclusive releases continues to expand, as more labels throw open their catalogs to an appreciative audience that grows each year.

Beyond the day-long frenzy, RSD exists to offer proof of the lively role record stores play in the community and a chance for folks on both sides of the counter to offer gratitude for each other. It's a capsule-sized snapshot of what this whole record world is about. Whether you’re a hardcore type who times their arrival for a spot at the front of the line or somebody who waits until the afternoon for a more leisurely experience, we hope you’ll join us on Saturday, June 20th.

RSD AT STRICTLY DISCS:

It's true, on Record Store Day there's typically a line outside the shop all day, just as there is at hundreds of other local shops across the country (and the world). But walk through this line, and you'll find ardent music fans of every stripe: young, old, male, female, seasoned pro and beginners. The line has come to symbolize the size, passion and staying power of both the physical music audience and the locally-oriented music community. Amidst the RSD crowds, we've seen musicians discussing upcoming gigs and tours, knowledgeable jazz heads giving high schoolers tips on the essentials, people meeting up for the first time “in real life” or for the first time in a decade, parents buying their kids their first new LPs, or better yet, a huge stack of 99 centers.

THE LIST - WISHLIST DEADLINE EXTENDED:

Our list of Record Store Day exclusives can be found HERE! You will need to register for our list or you can also jump over to the RSD site which shows the list (just without our pricing). And while we will try to have ample stock (one of the deepest in the midwest) of all items, please know that some of these products are extremely limited and will sell out quickly.

If you create a wishlist, it will be updated within our system prior to June 20, 2020.
