Total euphoria

Caroline’s Caroline 2 drifts through ritual and restraint, its strings and silences forming a delicate cartography of absence. We have this one on very limited blue vinyl, with OBI strip. Ty Segall’s Possession shimmers with glam unease, a cracked-mirror psych opera steeped in Rundgren-esque theatrics and analogue grime. Swans’ Birthing is another towering act of devotional noise, Gira guiding the listener through a slow-motion immolation of sound and spirit. Rick Cuevas’ Symbolism offers skeletal drum machine folk transmissions, hushed and uncanny, like lost songs overheard on shortwave, Available on symbolic silver vinyl Madlib’s Low Budget Hi Fi Music is a crate-digger’s fever dream—lopsided, soulful, and stitched together with a sampler’s grin. And with Trampled By Turtles, Alan Sparhawk folds his stark, slowcore ache into weatherworn Americana, yielding something both sun-faded and spiritually raw, available on Loser Edtion cream coloured vinyl.
