* SIR RICHARD BISHOP: Graviton Polarity Generator  A full LP of brand new instrumental material (organ and electric guitar) by your favorite bearded, genre-defying badass.                                       * THE BATS/ CALIFONE:  Bonus Holiday 7″   Winter wonder cheer from New Zealand’s Bats and the United States of America’s Califone. A one-sided split 7″, with a brand new Bats song and Califone’s classic cover of “Silver + Gold” (previously released as a promo CD-R). CLOUDCRAFT: Cloudcraft   Self-titled debut from Hamish Kilgour (the Clean/ Mad Scene/ Bailter Space) + Theo Angell (Hall of Fame/ Theo Angell & the Tabernacle Hillside Singers). This is fun and vibrant stuff, raga wonderland music.                                                  * NOAH FOUND GRACE:   Amazing stuff, never before anthologized! This compilation collects Jamaican gospel music from the ’60s + ’70s. We guarantee you’ve never heard anything like this.
* EVAN MILLER:   A new record by the Pac NW-based instrumentalist whose prior solo releases have explored finger-picked guitar playing and
lap steel.
TY SEGALL:  Ty is delivering unto us what he promises to be his most experimental, crazed release yet.   

* ELIZABETH HARRIS + ILYAS AHMED:   Here we have collaborative recordings made in Portland, OR by Elizabeth Harris AKA Grouper and Ilyas Ahmed. Who doesn’t need any stinking AKA’s.
* ABNER JAY: “Hambone”/ “Rattle the Bones”    This is a  12″ of rare, previously unreissued recordings assembled by Jay Martin (who oversaw the A.J. releases on Mississippi) and licensed from Abner Jay’s estate.
* WOVEN BONES:   These Austin, TX-based killers are working up their very own covers 12″, not-at-all-really in the vein of Cat Power and Rod Stewart.
* JACUZZI BOYS: Seahawks & Peacocks   This record turned out so great! Two brand-new studio songs recorded in Miami paired with four killer live tracks recorded at two different shows in Seattle in May, 2010.
