The Laughing Chimes cull together unreleased material; some of it scrubbed & soaring, some of it intimate 4-track demos, but all cured in their sweet sincerity & unblemished pop adoration. The title track feels like a callback to their first LP, wrapped in the winds of ‘90s indie pop. bit.ly/4syA92o

Well, this is exciting. A full album's worth of unknown Laughing Chimes songs recorded between the pure janglepop of the debut & the goth jangle of Whispers in the Speech Machine 😃🎶

Nice review of the new Kitchenettes 7" from Add To Wantlist!
"Here are three sweet, irresistible songs that envelope you briefly before dissolving into the afterglow, leaving you wanting more—just as a good single should."

To get you all psyched for the Rocketship reissue (out now!) and west coast tour (starts today!), here's a great interview that Dusty from Rocketship did with Dubya for his Surpise Cast podcast. Going deep!

Our new reissue #vinyl roundup includes Duran Duran, John Coltrane, Scritti Politti, David Bowie doing Peter and the Wolf, John Lee Hooker, Miles Davis & Quincy Jones, Flyboys, Rachel Love, and a reissue of an absolutely GINORMOUS '90s hit that has never been on vinyl before.
Our reissues of Rachel Love's 2021 and 2024 solo albums are out today! They're both packed with lush, dreamy pop that sits comfortably between 60s sunshine pop and the mod-ish sounds of groups like Saint Etienne and Broadcast. Ace!

Weird timing that we picked today to announce this, but we are throwing ourselves an anniversary party:

An image of a list of the 27 grievances against King George III in the Declaration of Independence. Donald Trump's regime has committed at least 20 of them in whole or in part, condensed into the list below: 1. He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. 2. He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation … 3. He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing … his invasions on the rights of the people. 4. He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; … obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners … 5. He has obstructed the Administration of Justice … 6. He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices … 7. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance. 8. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. 9. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. 10. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution … giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation: 11. For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: 12. For protecting them … from punishment for any Murders which they should commit … 13. For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: 14. For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: 15. For depriving us … of the benefits of Trial by Jury: 16. For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences: 17. For … abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments: 18. He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us. 19. He has … destroyed the lives of our people. 20. He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us …
The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III and Britain.
Donald Trump and his regime have committed at least 20 of those same offenses highlighted in yellow.

Force Field is 20 years old this year. I'm cooking up something fun to commemorate the occasion, and I have a small request: if you have any flyers / posters / photos of bands that we've worked with over the years, that you'd be willing to loan me, please let me know!!

To be clear: the SAVE Act does not simply require the identification voting ALREADY requires. It demands proof of CITIZENSHIP— a birth certificate with a name that matches yours now (bye, bye, married women), or a passport— both of which are expensive and take a long time to obtain.
it now looks like it was definitely the US
if it’s so advanced / precise, we have to assume the girls’ school was an intentional target
