The Scarecrow Frequency - Terminal Eclipse of the American Heart: CD
Code: SAR005CD
Price: $11.00

Out Now: The Scarecrow Frequency bundles up for release number two with the LP Terminal Eclipse of the American Heart. An album which plays just as much on past and present day American social issues as it does on the frailty and most dreary aspects of life. This sophomore release introduces expanded depth in its engineering and studio dynamics, as he is now joined by female vocalist and partner, Erica Sherman, playing a vital role as producer in the Magnetic Pulse home based studio.

Try as he might, John Argetsinger can not seem to stray far from soundscapes that leave our hearts longing for lonely desert highways and starlight skies where only the moonlight can find us, left alone with the ghosts and demons of our lives on this fragile earth. For the brooding and intuitive, it makes a delightful Kwanzaa present. Packaged in rad-core DigiPacks.

Nicks Myth - He Never Goes Anywhere: CD
Code: SAR004CD
Price: $11.00

Out Now: Somber Atlantic Records presents He Never Goes Anywhere, the debut LP release of San Jose, California recording project, Nick's Myth. With help from his dear friends, Nick Smith has put together an extremely impressive album that is nearly impossible to place by the brittle classifications of genre. As a whole, this work hauntingly mines our most distant childhood memories and times long forgotten.

Visitant and longing, He Never Goes Anywhere is a record for dreamers and seekers of nostalgic vision. Recorded at the Gingerbread House in San Jose, Nick's Myth expands upon the home recorder mantra of Somber Atlantic Records; the results are phosphorescent. Packaged in rad-core DigiPacks.

The Butter Up Band - Giant Chemical: CD
Code: SAR003CD
Price: $10.00

In the past, we may have been niave in our description of this record by associating it with said godfather of said genre, shoegaze. We did not mean to put a wild hair up anyone's ass, we just wanted to give a general idea of what you'd be in for. Giant Chemical is like mid-century danish furniture, clean and simple, but quite pleasing aesthetically. Absent is the fellatio of the whammy bar and driving of the label into bankruptcy. We are sorry we duped you into buying this album if you already own it. What we can guarantee you is that this record is worth the 10 bones and that while Kevin Shields was in the back of some studio scalping a poor studio tech for putting too much sugar in his tea, Robin Reines was probably crossing some mighty river in foreign lands or watching Airwolf on laser disc, only vaguely remembering the days he spent recording 12 honest songs for himself and his close friends.

For fans of Duster and the hushed vocals of Clay Parton. For the fans of musicians that have no reason to flirt with the brittle premise of ego. For people who aren't trying to start a revolution, but rather spend some quiet time alone hovering in distant magnetic tape borderlands with only their conscience to answer to. This is the aesthetic of Somber Atlantic, and this is the beauty we see in music by Robin Reines. Do buy this record. Packaged in rad-core DigiPacks.

The Faded Tapes - Self Titled: CD
Code: SAR002CD
Price: $10.00

From the mind of Dane Chadwick of Phoenix, Arizona comes The Faded Tapes debut LP. Influenced heavily by Duster and the spontaneous four track recording process these bedroom originals manage to stay one off and honest to the marrow in a sea of dramatic and pre-packaged instrumental bands. Taking his roots from various styles of music including slow-core and math rock Dane Chadwick blends interesting time signatures and desert bliss into lo-fi gold. Packaged in rad-core DigiPacks.
