MATTRESS 'Low Blows' LP Now Available
MDR 004 MATTRESS 'Low Blows' is now available. 500 Pressed --- 10$ --- For more information, check out the MDR 'Releases' page. 'Low Blows' finds Marshall trafficking in gritty, chunky beats, with an emphasis on his sound's low end and an increasing reliance on guitar...this recordr has a homespun, distant feel, but it's warmer than its predecessor...it's that voice -- which falls somewhere between the conversational speech of an undertaker and a preserved '50s lounge singer unfrozen during the apocalypse that makes these songs tick..an instrument this unique is immune to the sophomore slump.' -Michael Manheimer

ADAM PAYNE 'Maybelline Weeks' Now Available
MDR 003 ADAM PAYNE 'Maybelline Weeks' is now available. 300 Pressed --- 4$ --- For more information, check out the MDR 'Releases' page. 'The rock and roll spirit is strong i this one (Julian Cope is an outspoken fan), and with so many bands delighting in scuzz-caked no-fi these days, it's refreshing to hear some good old lo-fi that draws from Dino Jr. as much as The Ramones....Solid skronk-pop.' -Chris Martins, Inches, LA Weekly Blog
