Abner Jay - The True Story of Abner Jay (2009)
"The True Story of Abner Jay" is a record released by the brilliant reissue label Mississippi Records. They dug up this gem somewhere in time and I'm glad they did because the songs featured on this album are amazing. Abner Jay sings folk songs that are raw and blunt. Songs like "I'm So Depressed", "Cocaine" and "The Reason Young People Use Drugs" are all great examples of his intense story telling. On this album Abner is a one man band playing the electric banjo, drums and singing all at the same time. There is plenty to know about him and I'm not about to start a biography in the post. Just download and listen to the man, his words will charge through your ears and plaster themselves in your skull.

Tyvek - Nothing Fits (2010)
"Nothing Fits" is Tyvek’s second full length album debuting on In The Red. I’ve been waiting for this album since the summer time and to say the least I was pleasantly surprised at the raw intense sound. Tyvek has been touring these songs for the past year or so and I’ve heard them over and over again from either the massive amounts of live cds, rehearsal/demo tapes or live shows. When I first listen to these songs I knew the material was there but what wasn’t there was the studio recordings. Besides one or two live cds most of the releases that feature songs from “Nothing Fits” are intensely lofi and aren’t that pleasant to the ears. This is the studio adaptation of the various lofi live recordings/demos and its fucking fantastic! This scuzzy fuzzy detroit garage punk is so good it’ll make you shit your pants and bleed from your ears. They really worked on the quality of sound with this one and it makes up for all those recordings that weren’t on par. This is an album you want to turn up loud;

Japanese Shoegaze
"CLAMS are formed in Osaka in September, 2001. The group includes Asami Clam (vo), Hisashi Clam (g), Takayuki Clam (b), Takeshi Clam (g). 1st album "CLAMS" was released in January, 2003. Their pop sense influenced by flaming lips, Yo La Tengo and My bloody Valentine - ish noisy guitar were extolled by each media, such as radio, a magazine, and CD Shop. Their live using many images is also attractive. "

Cosmicdust - Snow Noise Assemblage (2006)
One man shoegaze band from a fellow who calls himself "Y.A.F."
that aimed to be a professional. But it quit. Then I started self-work "COSMICDUST," which is a one-man shoegaze unit. It affected by "my bloody valentine""slowdive" etc... and my song's atmosphere loves much glittering, booming, downy and sweet melody. I play guitar, vocal, computer programming, and other all instruments¥¥¥"
