surprise chef superb vinyl south records

1800-call-me-back

Surprise Chef’s Superb continues their deep-focus funk with cinematic restraint—grooves that unfold slowly, all mood, space, and syncopated sleight of hand. Something Soft by M(h)aol tilts between abrasion and vulnerability, post-punk as a site of protest and tenderness, where dissonance becomes a kind of care. Metalhorse sees Billy Nomates shedding armour to reveal raw, melodic nerve—her most emotionally direct and sonically expansive set to date, equal parts neon-lit and knife-sharp. Miracle Music, the first Grails album in six years, drifts through mystic psych, scorched soul, and kosmische noir—instrumental storytelling built from smoke and suggestion. Sour Soul Instrumentals strips back the Ghostface feature to let BADBADNOTGOOD’s lush, noir-funk breathe—jazz with a heavy-lidded swagger and spy-film undertow. And with Everybody Eats!, Czarface and Kool Keith summon their comic-book alter egos for a cosmic crossover: Stress Eater is all cartoon chaos, surrealist bars, and boom-bap production warped into deep space—equal parts Saturday morning pulp and razor-sharp underground weirdness.
