Revisiting Roman Ruins

Today's epic jamp-fest involves our very first release, by the esteemed Roman Ruins (aka Graham Hill). You may have seen Graham playing drums for the likes of such brilliant bands such as Beach House and The Papercuts; or perhaps you've heard the track he's got on the our new compilation 7". Dude gets around.

This little two song 45 packs a certain guttural punch with hints of popcorn and rosemary. I'm sure you've already listened to his self-titled EP, but perhaps you'd like to get your hands on this classic piece of vinyl? First person to email goldrobotrecords (at) gmail (dot) com will soon receive the Releasing Me b/w Your House vinyl FOR ABSOLUTELY FREE. Be sure to include your mailing address. We're generous like that. Preview a song here, just for kicks.

Revisiting Sweetie

We've been jamming to last year's Sweetie EP all day here at GRR headquarters. This kind of action results in us wanting more folks to be doing the same. Therefore, if you order any two GRR releases in the next week, we'll throw in a FREE COPY of the amazing 7" vinyl (it kind of looks like red jolly ranchers, but don't eat it). Heck, the first person who emails goldrobotrecords (at) gmail (dot) com and says "Hey, I'd like to have that vinyl" will receive it in the mail for free. That's how excited we are about it. Here's a song for your listening pleasure, and you can download another for free here.

New Railcars Release!

Cathedral With No Eyes is the second proper release by Railcars. Gold Robot is handling the digital release, while you can head on over to Stumparumper Records to pick up the heavyweight 12" vinyl.

In this record, LA/SF based multi-instrumentalist Aria Jalali recounts the life of Edmund the Martyr, a 9th century King of East Anglia with songs about his life and succession to the throne as a young boy, his conquests, and his suffering at the hands of vikings and death by their arrows. This time around Railcars make an attempt to more accurately recreate the whirling, dizzying fury of their live performances, flowing continuously yet shifting without warning, translating the story of St. Edmund into walls of noise, sputtering drum machines, dying electronics, and tales told in distant shouts. Here's a free MP3 of one of the songs!

::: Railcars - Castles

Also, if you haven't done so already, pick up the soon-to-be-gone-forever 7" EP titled Cities vs Submarines, it's beautiful.

New Panther Album on KRS

Former GRR contributor Panther has a new album coming out on Kill Rock Stars titled Entropy. The vinyl-only release is available for pre-order for only $10 (and it comes with MP3's as well). From what I've heard so far, it's certainly different from previous Panther incarnations but absolutely equally enjoyable. The above video to the track "Birds that Move" dropped today.

We've still got a few copies left of the limited edition 7" single by Panther. It not only features the album version of "How Well Can You Swim" but a early alternate recording which showcases the birthplace of the patented Panther sound. Buy yourself a copy (great idea!) or just listen to it here.
