(Spoken in your best Crypt Keeper voice) It is that time of year again when little boys and ghouls are knocking on doors for a
trick or treat. Good thing all we have is treats! Let’s start with Mexico’s
Descartes a Kant which is like an old video game mixed with your favorite indie post-punk band. A
creative disturbing retro-futuristic concept album that really sticks with you!
Willie Dowling (Dowling Poole) reheats an oldie in the production oven and it will make you “Happy?” cause it’s a freebie! In another vintage-inspired gem, we get “Alamein Line” from
Wesley Fuller, dig that retro-drum-beat, new album coming soon. A little more in the spirit of things is
Cold Expectation‘s “(I Live With) Ghosts” with some nice guitar work in that break between the chorus. Girl punk pop band
Linda Lindas takes an old chestnut “Little Bit ‘O Soul” and makes it their own. Finally, we get to the big bag of candy,
The Big Stir Records Halloween Collection! For a mere $5 you get a 20-track assortment of treats from Plasticsoul, The Armoires, Steve Stoeckel, and more. Hope these satisfy your sweet tooth (and ear)! Hee hee hee
