"This new Lavender Flu album on MEDS is called V1: Mirror Bright. It features Josh Stevenson on synth and drum machine. To my ears it sonically sounds like something in the neighborhood of Taj Mahal Travellers and early Soviet France. It feels like eavesdropping on some ceremony but you're outside and can only guess the meaning. What is It? According to the insert: 'This was recorded live on August 10th, 2024 at the peak of the Perseid meteor shower, when Earth passed through the debris trail of Comet Swift-Tuttle.' Fully improvised. Hand numbered edition of 150 with insert." --Bernard Petrucelli

"Recorded on July 28th, 2023 -- right around the time Mercury was pairing up with Regulus in the evening twilight. The Flu were in the middle of celebrating National Moth Week and recording this occult sonic ritual. Psychic warfare via sound against forces hostile to the residents of Iquitos. Fully improvised, fully alien, no songs. The entire album is one jam cut in half to fit on both sides of the vinyl. Hand numbered edition of 150 copies with insert."

"The Clean broke up (for the first time) in 1982. After a break, the Kilgour brothers pursued a new aesthetic and started recording on a four-track at home. Poking fun at their past, they called themselves The Great Unwashed. Clean Out Of Our Minds was made in two months at the beginning of 1983 and released on Flying Nun Records. The Kilgour's glorious pop hooks are still at the heart of everything but supplanted with a laid-back charm and maybe some of the spirit and mystery of '60s psychedelic folk. However, rather than hippie cosplay, the vibe is more akin to fellow New Zealanders The Tall Dwarfs and/or Syd Barrett. Beautifully remastered by Tex Houston. Vibrant 3D sound allows you to hear everything better than ever before. Housed in a Stoughton tip-on sleeve and available on vinyl for the first time in years. Don't miss out this time!"

"Mixed with a firm lock on disorientation and guided by the inspiration of James Yancey and The Upsetter, Tomorrow Cleaners sounds like it was left in the sun and melted all over the rocks and into the ocean. This is basically the 'lost' 2nd album (put on hold due to malfunctioning equipment) and it is somewhat of a return to the alien underwater vibe of Heavy Air. After an arduous process of casting spells, reverse engineering the enemy and acquiring the necessary equipment, this was completed in quarantine and the tapes were mastered direct to lacquer. Illuminate your future. Maximal hallucinatory states await."

"Radically different new Lavender Flu album, Admiration For A Dancer. Spontaneous jams captured without everyone even aware they were being recorded. Everything was improvised on the spot and there are no guitars: just synth, drums, synth percussion and some bass. It was all recorded live to 1 microphone and nearly all of it on a Sunday afternoon in January 2019. Edited by Scott Simmons. Mastered by Justin Higgins. Edition of 275 numbered copies on MEDS."
