Strike Anywhere “Dead FM” LP

Strike Anywhere have a brand new album, their first for punk powerhouse, Fat Wreck Chords. We at Suburban Home/Vinyl Collective are big fans of Strike Anywhere and have been fans of Thomas (vocalist) since his days in Inquisition. “Dead FM” picks up where “Exit English” left off. The album is highly recommended. Here are a couple of mp3s for you to check out:

Prisoner Echoes

Instinct

Peeping Tom “S/t” LP

NOW AVAILABLE ON VINYL!!! Years in the making, PEEPING TOM is the collaborative project spearheaded by MIKE PATTON, and featuring an all-star list of guest performers. Patton wrote a series of songs, and then sent letters to musicians he wanted to play on them, swapping files back and forth with those who agreed. Eleven tracks in all featuring performances from ODD NOSDAM, DAN THE AUTOMATOR, AMON TOBIN, KOOL KEITH, JEL, MASSIVE ATTACK, BEBEL GILBERTO, KID KOALA, DOSE ONE, NORAH JONES, and DUB TRIO. Housed in special die-cut packaging, designed by MARTIN KVAMME (Fantomas, Tomahawk, General Patton vs. The X-Ecutioners, etc.).

William Elliott Whitmore “Song of the Blackbird” LP

This is the third in Will’s trilogy is perhaps the best of the three? Each LP vinyl will include a very special bonus: a 32 page libretto of Will’s lyrics – in his own hand – for all the songs on his three Southern albums. This is mainly due to Will’s love of the vinyl format, as well as being a nice bonus for those folks who still favor vinyl LPs.

Listen to an mp3 from the album, MP3: “The Chariot”

Great news, we just got the vinyl in for Drag the River’s “Esta Loco”. Limited to 1,000 copies (200 on Blue, 200 on White, and 600 on Black), these babies will be gone before long. We sent out all of the pre-orders and still have a few colored copies left. Dont’ twiddle your thumbs on this one.

Maritime “We, the Vehicles” LP

Maritime’s latest release has been released on vinyl by Foreign Leisure, an imprint started by the folks in Maritime. The release is limited to 1,000 copies and is available on Blue Vinyl. Maritime features ex-members of Promise Ring and the record picks up where “Nothing Feels Good” left off. The record is upbeat, catchy, and there are some seriously strong songs on the album. Get your copy before they are all gone!

Thom Yorke “Harrowdown Hill” 12″ single

Thom Yorke and XL Recordings bring you another solo offering by Mr Yorke. The single is for “Harrowdown Hill” and the 12″ features an extended mix of the song. The title track is accompanied on the other side with 2 B-sides, “Drunkk Machine” and “Jetstream”. Although we weren’t given an official number of copies pressed, the label claims that this one is very limited.

The B-sides are solid, “Drunkk Machine” is a bass-heavy, kind of noisy rocker while “Jetstream” is prettier vocally with a bunch of beats and clicks. Both songs could have fit in nicely on “Eraser”.

Cursive “Happy Hollow” LP

The vinyl is on 180 gram vinyl and purchasing the vinyl will entitle you to a one-time download of the entire album in MP3 format. Here are a couple of mp3s for you to check out:
