As loyal customers to Landlocked Inc over the past 15+ months, you've seen our gradual growing first hand. We think back to the amount of merchandise we had our first month and heartily chuckle. We have expanded at least 500%, if not moreso in this time. This is great! But it also means we have less and less room for our beloved in-store shows that we've been having. Perhaps you've noticed that we are helping bring shows to town still, but hosting them elsewhere- we are going to keep doing this. So check out the blurbs below and come to the show on the 12th, which -might- be our last in-house show for awhile. Select New Arrivals for the Week of 06/05/2007 ------------------------------------------------------------------ (Exact arrival dependent on shipping delays and mishaps, sorry) Afghan Whigs - Unbreakable: A Retrospective (Rhino) ................................................................... For all Greg Dulli's earnestness and thorough self-deprecation, maybe he and the Afghan Whigs just showed up to the post-punk, soul-tinted party a little early. Beyond the nervy-edged guitar riffage and Dulli's muted, growly vocal, there isn't a whole lot on this retrospective to suggest that the Whigs couldn't just appear in 2007 and be hugely popular. As for this 18-song collection, fans will quibble over song selections. What they'll agree on is that the two new tracks, "I'm a Soldier" and "Magazine," both slow(er) and groovy, could make great strides for a new Whigs' era. Black Strobe - Burn Your Own Church (Play Louder) ................................................................... French dance rockers Black Strobe connects Norwegian death metal, French club anthems, and London super-producer Paul Epworth. The first single, Shining Bright Star, is a stunning marriage of gut-butting bass guitar, droning synth, and menacing but melodic vocals. The opening track, Brenn di Ega Kjerke (Burn Your Own Church), is a nod to black metal. The flip side to the band's personality is Girl Next Door, as downbeat and spooky as a 4AM walk home, and the most surprising moment is a high-octane electronic cover of Bo Diddley's I'm A Man, which will be the 2nd single. Check it out in our listening station! Bonde do Role - With Lasers (Domino) ................................................................... Riotous Brazilian MC and DJ trio Bonde Do Role play baile (party) funk - a flippant, punked-up take on Miami bass developed in Rio's favelas (shanty town). A characteristic of baile funk is its playfulness and mash-up guerrilla-style sampling. Grunge, heavy metal, and cheese were added to the melting pot here. Their SXSW appearances were the talk of post-festival blogs, described in many instances as a "Brazilian Beastie Boys" with their explosive performances and filthy lyrics. Cinematic Orchestra - Ma Fleur (Domino) ................................................................... TCO return with their first full-length since 2002. "Ma Fleur" was written as the soundtrack to a specially commissioned screenplay for an imagined film, which may or may not yet be made. Dealing with themes of loss and love, "Ma Fleur" is fertile ground for Jason Swinscoe's brand of raw-emotion music making. If the mood is melancholy, Swinscoe and company manage to make it an ultimately uplifting experience, perhaps in the end more about the love you find than the love you lose. Guest vocals from Patrick Watson, Lou Rhodes and Fontella Bass. Dalek & Haze XXL - A Purge of Dissidents CD+DVD+book (Ipecac) ................................................................... This is NOT Dälek the rapper, this is Dalek (w/o the umlaut over the A) who is an exciting artists who honed his skills assisting Takashi Murakami. Haze XXL, aka Tom Hazelmyer, comes from the Minneapolis Punk/Hardcore scene. He spun his garage-band roots into Halo of Flies, founded Amphetamine Reptile Records and has been running a gallery since 2003. The whole project comes with a book of Dalek's art, DVD consisting of Dalek's art pieced together in animation with the Haze XXL soundtrack playing over it, and CD with just the soundtrack. The animation consists of a lime green self mutilating space monkey stabbing himself and floating around in a rainbow house with a cannon that shoots diamond bullets at evil faces with money signs for eyes. The music is performed with help from the Melvins, Grant Hart (Husker Du), and more. Matthew Dear - Asa Breed (Ghostly International) ................................................................... It's rare for a seasoned microhouse producer to be so disciplined when it comes to song durations (most here around the 3 minute mark). And perhaps the reason Dear is so able to find success with the album format is that he never restricts himself to the confines of straight-up techno, the presence of his charismatic vocal throughout the record means that the album is rooted in song structure. Recent single Deserter really hammers that message home : it's an all-electronic affair, and Dear's production talents are as much in evidence here as they've ever been, it's just that there's a great big shoegazing chorus running through the thing. Neighbourhoods will be more instantly familiar to long-term Dear fans, its loose and easy Detroit beats combined with those hallmark, quirky synth riffs demonstrate everything that made his debut so addictive. A Hawk and a Handsaw and The Hun Hangar Ensemble CD+DVD (Leaf) ................................................................... Limited edition EP includes the first recordings by former Neutral Milk Hotel drummer Jeremy Barnes and The Hun Hangar Ensemble, a group of extraordinarily talented Hungarian folk musicians. The songs are both traditional (Hungarian, Romanian, Serbian and klezmer) and originals. The 20-minute bonus DVD, 'An Introduction To A Hawk And A Hacksaw', documents the last two years of travelling and performing throughout Europe and the United States. Daniel AIU Higgs - Atomic Yggdrasil Tarot CD+Book/LP (Thrill Jockey) ................................................................... Baltimore's Higgs is best known for his work as the lyricist and frontman of Lungfish, whose work on Dischord spans 3 decades. This release is a limited edition CD + full color 48-page 6"x8" hardcover book of Daniel's paintings and writings and the second release in the series (the first being "Hokane" by Aki Tsuyuko). The CD of guitar and piano drones, jew's harp, and banjo recorded by Daniel is inserted in the front cover of the book. The LP version is limited to 900 copies and is sold separately from the book with screened Higgs artwork. It comes with a black and white booklet featuring the poetry/anagrams from the book. The book does NOT come with the LP. Ladybug Transistor - Can't Wait Another Day (Merge) ................................................................... On their 6th full-length, this collective crafts a delicate mix of hazy, airbrushed melancholia infused with a brighter undercurrent - a promise of good things to come in a country tinged manner that'll have the hardest of hearts melting. Channeling Fred Neil and Bobby Goldsboro, Gary Olson fulfills his promise as one of the more inspired songwriters of the past decade and anchors his current batch of songs with his restrained baritone. Long Blondes - Someone to Drive You Home (Beggars Banquet) ................................................................... They want to be as good at writing hit songs as Abba. Yeah, they like Joy Division and all that, but not half as much as they like Dusty, disco, and Del Shannon. The aim was to form a fantasy group: Nico, Nancy Sinatra, Diana Dors, Barbara Windsor. Sexy and literate, flippant and heartbreaking all at once. This is the next chapter of Sheffield's idiosyncratic musical heritage: the suburban disco fantasies of Human League, the opulent ridiculousness of ABC, the seedy glamour of Pulp. Check it out in our listening station! Panic Strikes A Chord - Cautionary Verses For Children (Higher Step) ................................................................... *LOCAL TALENT* After spending nearly 5 years rocking around the country in other projects, Panic Strikes A Chord (AKA Jeremy Brightbill AKA Professa Riff of TremFu) has at last released Cautionary Verses For Children, an earnest exploration of current global chaos, the pervasiveness of violence in our lives, and the avenues of personal escape via living and loving hard until the inevitable claims us all. With the recurring themes of flying ghosts, destructive storms, and the unfathomable "other" lurking around out there, the album serves as a whispered warning shout to those fellow travelers lost in the maelstrom. Check it out in our listening station! Pelican - City of Echoes (Hydrahead) ................................................................... With shorter songs and expanded catchiness, city of echoes is Pelican's "pop album," according to guitarist Laurent Schroeder-Lebec. Sweet, victorious riffs that feel like chicago in july, when everybody's air-conditioners simultaneously drop dead and the old folks start piling up like logs at the city morgue. When the heat wave passes and the humidity subsides, the Pelican dudes stand on top of the proverbial heap, possibly hoisting a chalice of some type--maybe even a sword, but not in a Man-O-War kind of way--as the reverberations from their own amplified gloriousness rain upon their heads like manna from heaven. Pissed Jeans - Hope for Men (Sub Pop) ................................................................... Thick-as-glue punk bombast and sludge stoke the coals of your existence. This album is diverse, but the Jeans ain't no dilettantes. Mixing volatility with humor is a hard thing to master in music. Since 2004 the Jeans have spent many a night playing in their hometown, no-rules hellhole, Allentown, PA's legendary Jeff the Pigeon (RIP). Pissed Jeans do it with smarts and poignancy. Consider the bar raised. RIYL Flipper, Killdozer, Jesus Lizard. Check it out in our listening station! Shellac - Excellent Italian Greyhound (Touch & Go) ................................................................... Shellac consists of Steve Albini on guitar, Todd Trainer on drums, and Bob Weston on bass. This is their fourth and longest release and all the songs are about Italy or greyhounds. Both the CD and LP come packaged in a beautiful full-color gatefold sleeve. The LP version also includes a slipcover that was drawn and hand-silk screened by Jay Ryan. What else do you need to know? Bruce Springsteen - Live In Dublin CD/DVD (Sony) ................................................................... This time the Boss takes his American-music foray to Ireland for a 3-night stint on the north quay of Dublin's River Liffey. The 23 songs drawn from those performances cover most of the songs from the Pete Seeger tribute, but venture drastically into Springsteen's popular back catalog while delving further into his affinity for multiple styles of music, from folk and blues to gospel and country. If I Should Fall Behind plays like a tear-jerking last call in a dimly lit pub. Open All Night has been shaped into pure swing, complete with pedal steel and sax. And Jesse James, with its furious banjo, spectator handclaps, and Springsteen howl, could pass for the Pogues, circa 1985. True West - Hollywood Holiday Revisited (Atavistic) ................................................................... True West were one of the Paisley Underground bands, contemporaneous with the likes of Dream Syndicate, Rain Parade, Long Ryders and most famously The Bangles. This package includes the Hollywood Holiday mini LP, the full-length Drifters album and the demo sessions the band recorded with Television's Tom Verlaine. The original recording sessions took place between 1982 and 1983, and documented a band on the ascendance. These sessions depict a kind of post new-wave, proto alt-rock group who fused a raw, punk-inspired energy with a discerning ear for melody. You could make comparisons with bands like Violent Femmes, The Replacements and even early REM. Uno Moss - The Slow Rise & Hard Fall (self) ................................................................... *LOCAL TALENT* Nylon steel harmony. This may be a phrase that describes Uno Moss. Aquarian sons born only five days apart, Vincent Lewandowski and Peter King blend their 6-stringed instruments and voices as if their brains were being fed the same nutrient fluid. Some say their lyrics are absurd. Others say witty. Some don't say. The Slow Rise & Hard Fall is Uno Moss's first album. It was recorded live in a living room on the west side of Bloomington. The covers are a warm and fuzzy green felt. Yumm! Porter Wagoner - Wagonmaster (Anti) ................................................................... A true legend, Porter kicked out hard-hitting honky-tonk anthems in the 50s; pioneered music tv with his long-running show from 1960-1980, where he discovered Dolly Parton; started the Nudie suit craze; influenced everyone from Johnny Cash & Dwight Yoakam to the Byrds & Gram Parsons; and recorded seminal concept albums in the early 70s, populated with the lonely, addicted, and mentally ill, capturing the imagination of nascent punks like Alex Chilton. Last year, Marty Stuart, longtime Johnny Cash sideman and torchbearer of traditional country music, approached his longtime hero with an unrecorded song Cash had written for Porter, called "Committed to Parkview." Porter & Marty decided to build an album around the song, revisiting the classic feel of his chilling concept albums, interwoven with stomping barroom honkytonk that rides with the best of Hank Sr and Ernest Tubb. A record of raw beauty capturing a proud, ragged man looking back unflinchingly at his life.

One can only hope this is what awaits in the afterlife. MV & EE float in the sky as protectors. They seem to exist on a plane most people can only dream of. This is music with so many layers and sounds like something you'd hear as you ascended toward the afterlife in Hindu legends. Nothing else on earth sounds like their lunar ragas and fingerstyle noise/space. Mark plays the music of yore- finger-picked acoustic folk-blues a la John Fahey, Robbie Basho, or Leo Kottke. His impressive original songs and arrangements of classics draw him into the fold of moderns like Jack Rose, Ben Chasny, Sir Richard Bishop, Steffen Basho-Junghans, and Tetuzi Akiyama. VJOB---> Ms. Yeppi can't stop screaming, "Show me your tits!" while Mr. Mann keeps thumping on something. When asked what we sound like, all we can say is, "We're like holy water, only thicker." Friday June 8th @ 10pm @ Bear's Place - 21+ ------------------------------------------------------------------ WHEAT - http://www.wheatmusic.com/ MOCK ORANGE - http://www.mockorange.net/ SECRETS BETWEEN SAILORS - http://myspace.com/secretsbetweensailors The 60-watt glow of Wheat gently pushes you in the back with two palms. But this is an encouraging push - not an annoying push - info fields of amber organs, where crystalline spires of guitar rise into a sky of matte, reachable teal. At high volumes, the trembling synths and bass pleasantly rattle your teeth like chewing on aluminum foil...Wheat's suddenly pleasantly in front of the pack thanks to large, lily-white sails...The unwavering mood and pace offer few disappointments. Mock Orange's popping little rock songs blend the guitar chaos of Sonic Youth, the carefree breeziness of a Brit-pop band, the playful quirkiness of someone like Stephen Malkmus, or Death Cab for Cutie, and a dash of twangy, coutry leanings to create some of the most endearing pop-rock songs around. Saturday June 9th @ 10pm @ Uncle Fester's - $5 - 21+ ------------------------------------------------------------------ MARY TIMONY (ex-Helium, Kill Rock Stars) - http://www.marytimony.com/ WELCOME (Fat Cat) - http://www.yrwelcome.com/ EP HALL (Bloomingtopia) - http://www.myspace.com/ephallmusic THE TOUCHISTS - http://www.myspace.com/thetouchists Mary Timony's debut on Olympia's Kill Rock Stars, represents the latest stage in the evolution of one of the most important voices in underground music. Flowing from the mystic prog laced veins that have informed her art for the past decade, 'The Shapes We Make' builds upon the stark rebellious austerity of 2005's Ex Hex and imbues it with warmth and formidable urgency. Equal parts clairvoyance and virtuosity, Mary Timony and the musicians that she surrounds herself with paint in broad strokes a vivid landscape of colorful musical shapes. Timony's guitar remains at the forefront and she plays with a confidence and flair reminiscent of the guitar work in her former band Helium. Dynamic, stunningly arranged, and prone to fly off at unpredictable angles, 'Sirs' possesses a gnarled beauty very much Welcome's own. Melodic, Rhythmic and sonically ambitious, the record sits somewhere between the fractured, exploratory idealism of 60's psych pop (The Creation, Revolver-era Beatles, Syd Barrett), and such non-conformist US alt/rock luminaries as Unwound, The Breeders and Deerhoof. Tuesday June 12th @ 8pm @ Landlocked Music - $5 ------------------------------------------------------------------ WRACK QUINTET - http://kylebruckmann.com/ (D)ynamic (B)lack (H)ips With Kyle Bruckmann (oboe, english horn), Jason Stein (bass clarinet), Jen Clare Paulson (viola), Anton Hatwich (bass), and Tim Daisy (percussion). Wrack is both a chamber ensemble with a highly unusual instrumentation and a book of compositions tailor-made for the musical personalities of its members. While the compositions' melodic and contrapuntal content is reminiscent of European classical modernism, the open structures, improvisational procedures and energetic performances are heavily indebted to the innovations of the African-American Creative Music tradition. In other words, equal parts free-jazz, gypsy/klezmer, Raymond Scott cartoon music, modern composition and ambient texture. DBH = Feedback colossus with horns. Level 4 primitivists discuss green anarchy and deep ecology over the course of a "fast food" meal. A loose-knit network of sex workers and custodians "clean it up". Seven young people and a dog gripping saxophones, trumpets, guitars and drumsticks.
