Upcoming Releases

• Summer Cats

  Your Timetable

  Slumberland

  Melbourne, Australia's Summer Cats are keen students of pop in all its flavors. From the motorik strum of Modern Lovers to the folky lilt of early Creation / Sarah label bands to the feedback-drenched noisy pop of the '00s, Summer Cats have got you covered. Their 2009 Slumberland album Songs for Tuesdays dazzled with seemingly effortless song craft and sharp melodicism.

  Blackball Records presents the 20th anniversary edition of Jawbreaker's beloved 1990 debut album Unfun--twelve groundbreaking tracks (sixteen on the CD) that captured the very inception of emo's big band and launched a galaxy of young, earnest bands and the scenes that love them.

• Galaxie 500

  Today (+ Uncollected)

  20|20|20

  When Galaxie 500's Today was released in 1988, it set off a chain reaction of quiet explosions still being felt. Never before had a record so emphasized the calming elements of rock music, transforming what at first seems like a collection of bridges into fully realized songs. And one can draw a straight line from here to the many groups they influenced, like Low, Belle & Sebastian, and Bon Iver.

• Galaxie 500

  This Is Our Music (+ Copenhagen)

  20|20|20

  After producing two albums celebrated by a thirsty underground network of fans, Galaxie 500 released what turned out to be their unexpected swansong, This Is Our Music. The title is an intentionally declarative statement. After being labeled masters of the disengaged and forlorn, Damon Krukowsi, Dean Wareham, and Naomi Yang delivered a full-length comprised of their most stately material.

  S/t

  Slumberland

  They released only a handful of songs their two-year lifetime, but Black Tambourine has been hugely influential in the world of indie music. Conceived as an explicitly pop band pop bands were pretty rare in America, they wore their influences on their sleeves: The Jesus and Mary Chain, of course, but also folks like Phil Spector, Smokey Robinson, Love, The Ramones, Shop Assistants, Pastels, 14 Iced Bears, Orange Juice and the list goes on.

  Rush To Relax

  Goner

  LP VERSION INCLUDES FREE DOWNLOAD COUPON!!! When Eddy Current Suppression Ring formed in Melbourne, Australia, in 2003, bandmates Eddy Current, Rob Solid, Danny Current, and Brendan Suppression thought they would play a few shows and perhaps record a 7-inch or two. One of their first gigs, in fact, was an employee Christmas party at the record pressing plant where they worked.
