Crystal Stilts started in Brooklyn in 2003 as Brad Hargett and JB
Townsend. Not really trying to be a "band" they recorded and
self-released their single "Shattered Shine" on their Feathery Tongue
label in '04 with friend Sean Mafucci (producer of Gang Gang Dance,
Psychic Ills, Kid Congo Powers etc.) With no shortage of lazy Jesus
and Mary Chain and Factory records comparisons, (more like VU, Felt,
and Blue Orchids) in 2005-06 they continued to play in New York with
bands such as the Long Blondes, 1990s and The Monochrome Set and
recorded a 4 song ep. Kyle Forrester (Ladybug Transistor etc. etc.)
joined them at gigs playing organ as well. After a brief hiatus to
record there back catalogue for upcoming LP (Slumberland) they adopted
Andy Adler (who played bass on Eric Copeland of Black Dice fuzzpop
outfit Ninjas) to rock the bass. After opening for the Clean in
November, Frankie Rose (Vivian Girls) waltzed into their life to play
the stand-up drums and complete the equation.
compiles their 12" ep and the "Shattered Shine" 7inch.

SUN ARAW- "Boat Trip"- 12" (WOODSIST018) ---->$15ppd
Boat Trip might be some hidden soundtrack to Donkey Kong
warp-whistling straight into Ayahuasca Country. In about twenty
minutes Sun Araw manages to navigate a psychedelic jungle cruise
through canopy din & spooked drone, then he noses the boat out of the
water and lifts into uncharted dub-spheres. The back half of this
entranced tour is like being (fortunately) trapped inside an old
Upsetters jam played at half-speed with twice the shaman-chant and
reverb drenched percussion. Normally we wouldn't trust taking this
kind of trip with just anybody, but with wheel and rudder alike in the
hands of Magic Lantern co-captain Cameron Stallones, we can sip our
yage-of-choice in peace and share the Sun Araw vision as one.
Originally issued on Stunned Records as a limited CDR, here it gets
the deluxe vinyl treatment. Limited to 500 on black vinyl.

PINK REASON- "Winona" 7" (WOODSIST014) ----> $7.00ppd- back in stock!
2nd press 500 on red vinyl
"During a show with hardcore punks Hatefuck, DeBroux and company
traveled to Winona, Minnesota. After a five-hour drive to the town,
wasted locals, angry punks and gnarled three-legged dogs greeted them
by leading them into a commandeered park. Inside the park, DeBroux
found "the ultimate punk rock experience" with townies huffing rubber
glue and mohawk-brandishing kids starting fights with crusties. The
show ended and the locals gave the band three dollars for their
troubles. A few kids asked DeBroux and company to chip in the three
dollars on a keg. Soon, the crowd dispersed and left the band with no
money or place to stay. The band wound up sleeping on an island
between Minnesota and Wisconsin and breaking up soon thereafter. He
wrote the first Pink Reason song, "Winona," about this experience." -
Steve Kobak from Blastitude #25
