Hi there,
on dec 18th, we have one last release coming up for this year: Bingo Trappers, the prolific Dutch lofi-legends, return with Giddy wishes, their first album since the sold out elizabethan record. Once again, they prove to be the masters of 60s-influenced psychedelic garagepop, with a touch of dreamy americana blent in. no-one else makes their songs so fluid-sounding an catchy like they do. Giddy Wishes is a treat to hear: like recieving an oldfashioned postcard from a friend you haven't seen in too long.
The album is pressed on high-quality german clear vinyl, and all sleeves are screenprinted by hand on heavy cardstock, making each copy a tiny bit different from the other. complete with lyric sheet and download coupon. edition of 300 copies worldwide. a co-release with our friends at Almost Halloween Time, Unread and Grapefruit record club.
pre-orders will be sent out in the week before the release date. just 15 euro + shipping - which is around 6 euro for belgium, 9-10 for anywhere in europe or the usa, and 14 for the rest of the world.(also: when ordering at least three items, you'll get a 10% discount...) order? head over to the store.

Earlier this year, we put out two cd's by a couple of familiar faces. in short:(more details on the release-pages)
MORC 79: R.O.T.: Klein eiland (cd)
Long-awaited return by this minimalistic noise bigband from Belgium. the sound of subtle communication, using mostly unamplified sounds. R.O.T. manages to capture a specific time and space like no one else does. Their last recordings feat Floris Vanhoof!
MORC 80: Lowered – music for empty rooms (cd)
Slow-motion chamber music, with silence as the conductor. ‘Music for empty rooms’ explores the nature of dissonance, resonance and silence. The ‘empty rooms’ reference Gowers’ move to a new house in a strange town following the death of his wife. As such it is a meditation on loss, dislocation and the silence of absence. A very intense but rewarding listening experience.
the cd's are still here: 10 euro per cd - shipping to most countries (EU + USA) is approx 5 euro for the two cds.
