IMPREC240 isn't a record it's an homage to the classic car of the same numeration. The Important parking lot is littered with 240 wagons on a regular basis. Volvo manufactured the 240 between 1974 and 1993 and Jan Wilsgaard's design is absolutely stunning. My favorite viewing angle is from the back of a pre-1981 245 as illustrated for our shirt by Rutger Zuyderfelt.
Hand printed on Anvil's version of the American Apparel tee. Super high quality and a nice fit.

Jugularis

Imagine yourself riding on cells coasting through your body's veins. The sound of the heart grows stronger like a beating drum as you're pulled closer. Suddenly, you're embraced by this giant pulsating muscle and when you're finally released back into the veins you can hear it's sound fading slowly, but still growling with the same intensity that it has beat with for eternity. Jugularis is the soundtrack to this ride and like your heart it's packaged in blood: the ultimate symbol of life and intensity.

Together, Interspecies and greenmuseum.org compiled a sample cd of 350 captured sounds and sent it out to many of their favorite electronic artists. Scanner, Merzbow, Yannick Dauby, LapCore, Jayne Fenton Keane, Kim Cascone and many others answered the call merging deep sea underwater sounds with their electronic aesthetics.

World-exclusive to Important Records, a new 4 track EP of brand new material from London's Piano Magic. In stark contrast to last winter's Opencast Heart EP Incurable brings to mind the mid-80's 4AD Records ethereal romanticism of This Mortal Coil, Cocteau Twins and Dead Can Dance. It's a glacially produced, though
spiritually warm, set of songs which evoke beautiful, though bleak, European Winter landscapes, lost causes and broken hearts.

JAMES BLACKSHAW
O True Believers
$11.99
info, reviews & mp3

 

When UK-native James Blackshaw plays his 12-string, something spiritual takes place. This unassuming 23 year-old is transformed into a guitar god whose name belongs alongside the likes of Jack Rose, Steffen Basho-Junghans, and Glenn Jones.
In these part improvised and part written songs, Blackshaw traverses between Eastern and Western scales; simple and incredibly intricate picking patterns; waves of fast, powerful rolls and glass-fragile harmonics. The album is occasionally embellished with other instruments such as the Hindustani
tamboura
and harmonium and a specially tuned psaltery of Eastern-European origin called a Cymbala

Free/tribal percussion spatter 'n clatter duels with endlessly mutating three chord sludge-riffage beneath thick, poison clouds of delayed-out vocal groan.  Truly CHOCK full of manic bad-mood energy but maybe psych-droney and resin-soaked enough for the new crop of crunchier noise-heads to nod to as well.  Electric guitars strung with duct tape and drums equipped with hundred-year old heads are jettisoned into deep space and dynamited, combusting so vividly that the afterimages soak our retinas with mandalas of interwoven earthworms and beer funnels for hours afterwards.  We pass the savings on to YOU!
