When I first heard Rachel Love's "Picture In Mind" I absolutely fell in love with it's lush, dreamy pop that hearkens back to 60s sunshine folk/pop but also works with the modern textures of groups like Saint Etienne. Thrilled to be re-releasing this April 10! slumberlandrecs.lsnto.me/pictureinmind

Happy Monday! I'll be spinning some records and throwing shapes with Mo and NO at Anorak Pop TONIGHT. At St Mary's Pub, 3845 Mission St, Glen Park, SF. 8pm til they throw us out.

This new Kaazi tape on Leaving is really doing it for me right now. kaaziny.bandcamp.com/album/incide... @leavingrecords.bsky.social

Some kind words about Rocketship's "A Certain Smile, A Certain Sadness" from David Glickman at Pitchfork. Nice! Our 30th anniversary reissue LP/CD is out now. pitchfork.com/reviews/albu... @sublimebombast.bsky.social @pitchfork.com

Out today: the debut 7" from SF's finest quiet pop trio The Kitchenettes! Their homespun tunes overflow w/charm and character, bringing to mind folks like Marine Girls, The Softies, Lois and Cat's Miaow - a total treat. A co-release w/Galaxy Train (JP) and Meritorio (ES). li.sten.to/kitchenettes...

Lately I've been getting loads of "$1M line of credit 4U now!" sorts of spam from a chimera named Sophia Green. That was also the title of a Jane Pow song that I liked so much back in the day that I named one of my bands after it. yeoldbadshambotichabitssubscriptionlibrary.bandcamp.com/album/sham039

I'm not sure if I can recall a non-SLR album that I looked forward to with more anticipation than this one, except maybe Psychocandy. hhbtm.bandcamp.com/album/george...

One of my go-to "warm weather is here, let's get down" albums. Damn, I really miss the broken beat era. afro0.bandcamp.com/album/hecho-...

A reminder that The Kitchenettes' lovely "Sunday Best" 7" single is out this Friday on SLR, Meritorio & Galaxy Train. If you dig Marine Girls, Rose Melberg, Lois, etc we think you'll love this! slumberlandrecs.lsnto.me/kitchenettes...

Goodnight Chip Taylor, a truly great songwriter, a good and generous friend. I’m glad that I got to know you. Chip’s songs were sung by many including Dusty, Evie Sands, two generations of Sinatras, The Specials, The Troggs, The Hollies and so many more. youtu.be/QSU7hJmjq5Y?...

the two K Alexi archival things that Dark Entries put out are *nice* k-alexi.bandcamp.com/album/wareho...

Apologies for the delays getting orders out the last few days, we’re navigating the death of our postage label printer. Or maybe the software. Or maybe both. Good times!

anyway here's Akira Kurosawa gazing lovingly at Toshiro Mifune on the set of Seven Samurai

Incredible line-up this year, a massive tip of the hat to the Cardiff crew that keep the flag flying!

Yesterday was the official release day for our 30th anniversary reissue of Rocketship's "A Certain Smile, A Certain Sadness." It's been super cool seeing people posting their pics of the LP, one my favorite things about a new release. Keep 'em coming! slumberlandrecs.lsnto.me/acertainsmile

A few pics from The Kitchenettes' 7" release party in SF last night. The band sounded great and judging from the new songs they played their next record will be out of sight. Their "Sunday Best" single is out next week on SLR, Meritorio & Galaxy Train. slumberlandrecs.lsnto.me/kitchenettes...

Ace review of our Rocketship "A Certain Smile, A Certain Sadness" reissue from Raven Sings The Blues. "The record is a true hidden gem, a smudged masterpiece that’s been lost and found a dozen times... One of the year’s essential reissues to be certain!" www.ravensingstheblues.com/rocketship-a...

SLR reissue of this ROCKETSHIP classic album is out today ! We’re playing April 9th at the Chapel to celebrate !!! Tickets: www.eventim.us/event/rocket...

It’s awesome to have the support from Norman, but the review here is really worth a read. A long personal look at the album that could only come from a true, long-time fan.

We're *super* excited that our 30th anniversary reissue of "A Certain Smile, A Certain Sadness" is out TODAY! It's a glorious blend of sumptuous indiepop with fuzzy organs, motorik excursions and ambient interludes. Bold, brilliant, and totally timeless. rocketship.bandcamp.com/album/a-cert...

Pretty excited to get my hands on this new Stereolab book! jawbonepress.com/space-age-ba...

REISSUE OF THE WEEK: ‘A Certain Smile, A Certain Sadness’ by Rocketship Warm shoegaze and noise pop textures meet twee indie pop melodies on Rocketship’s cult classic debut. @slumberlandrecords.com www.normanrecords.com/features/bes...

The fine new Shabaka album came in today's mail. Looks and sounds great, though I'm rather sad that it's already the "all of your records will arrive slightly warped" time of the year. shabaka.bandcamp.com/album/of-the...

Rocketship found its footing somewhere between the jangled & jeweled gardens of twee pop & the headier burbling of Radiophonic plug jockeys like Stereolab, Broadcast, & Unrest. The LP is often at its best while letting its pop impulses become washed away by its more experimental ones. bit.ly/4sTP8Vj

Rachel Love – Without You More than four decades after she and her Dolly Mixture bandmates sang about a popular classmate, Rachel Love still makes music. In Railcard and on also her second solo album, Lyra (from 2024, but re-released next ➡️ @slumberlandrecords.com ftherules.net/2026/03/16/r...

Does anybody actually know how to really, truly reset the print system on a Mac? No amount GUI "reset print system" and CUPS tomfoolery worked (everything returned after reboot), but reinstalling Dymo software nukes it all for real, even non-Dymo printers. Small price to pay.

The Kitchenettes debut 7' is coming soon! Lovely, intuitive pop from the fertile SF pop scene that deftly updates the timeless Marine Girls/Cat's Miaow/Lois template for 2026. Out March 27, pre-orders start shipping this week! thekitchenettes.bandcamp.com/album/sunday...

This Rachel Love album really is almost *too* lovely. LP/CD out April 20th but you can listen to it in full right now. rachellove.bandcamp.com/album/lyra-2
