If you are not taking responsibility for
your state of consciousness, you are not
taking responsibility for your life…
Tristeza – Paisajes
(SANITY MUFFIN #23)
Tristeza are back! their best album yet… tons of
flavor and new twists on their signature sound…
more krauty and afro/latin rhythms, lush space
out astral projection sound sheets… perfectly
placed horns creep in here and there… their
first self-released album ever!
give some love to this well deserving band… local
artists releasing on a local label. Amoeba has
the ultra limited brown vinyl copies too! Highly
recommended!
Borghesia – Ljubav Je…
(DArk ENTrIES)
Vinyl only issue of this great post punk synth
oufit from Slovenia. Spastic jabbing guitar riffs…
raw as phuck with great brooning synth lines.
cool vocals in a crazy language. 1983-1984. red
vinyl.
Dark Day – Window (DArk ENTrIES)
R.L. Crutchfield from the legendary NYC band
DNA & B. Sack did this minimal synth band together
in the early ’80s. this album was reissued
by Dark Entries and features nine songs from
1981. limited edition vinyl only with awesome
booklet! yes it’s dark…yes it’s synthy, yes it’s really
good and yes all the best releases are coming
out on VINYL so get that turntable in working
order. *Check out the new Minimal Synth/
Synthwave vinyl section at Amoeba Berkeley in
the Electronic section!!!
BERKELEY
The Soft Moon – The Soft

Martial Canterel. on tour now with the Blank
Dogs to support their new Lp! hope they blow
up but dont blow up blow up… This guy plays
Synth and percussion in Oakland’s psych killers

I came from Boston to Oakland.
Then Brooklyn — now back again —
you can find me on both sides
of the bay now.
Paul Cary _ Ghost of a Man
(STANkHOUSE)
This is a fantastic stripped down rock & roll
record from a guy that used to be in this band
called The Horrors (not the English one). It’s
got some great bluesy and country tinged moments
and even a weird sax solo. This stuff is
great and catchy and he’s got clever words to
say too. It’s mostly just him and maybe a couple
other guys playing some other stuff. This would
be a new favorite for fans of Holly golightly’s
last few albums, and some of the Billy Childish
blues.
Famous L. Renfroe – Children
(BIg LEgAL MESS)
This is not new but it’s still in print and still
amazing. And most importantly — it’s new to
me. I found this the other day in the soul section
(but you might find it in Gospel instead), and
had remembered a customer mentioning it to
me after we bonded over a love of Abner Jay.
I went and put it on in the store and we were
all digging it. This guy plays some of the sweetest
gospel with amazing grooves and rhythms. It
almost has a krautrock feel the way he gets into
the grooves and stays on them. He also plays
everything and sings all the vocal tracks himself
— just not the drums.
