We’ve noticed a shift. Over the past few years, we’ve been delighted to see so many people finding their way to record stores. It seems every time we check in with how the business is doing, we’ll often say “we’re seeing a lot of new faces.” This has been happening for a few years now […]
We couldn’t be more excited to share episode 2 of our new series I’ve Got Recommendations! Stinkweeds has long been a safe space to explore, discuss and discover your next favorite artist(s). We all know and feel that the constant feeding of content through various platforms can start to feel heartless and formulated. We are hoping […]
We believe 2021 will prove to be a pivotal year for Stinkweeds. Along with our regular customers, who we appreciate to no end, this has been a year of new faces. With those new faces comes new tastes, conversation and responsibility to our customers. Our first accommodating change was to bring on two new members […]
Allah-las – Lahs [Mexican Summer] Admittedly, this one has more of a “summer vibe.” But what is a Phoenix Fall but a North East Summer. Lahs is a cool breeze on a hot day. It is the yogic, outward breath, releasing the dread of 115 degree days. It’s beachy vibes with a little spaced out […]
Imagine yourself asleep in a tent, in the middle of the woods. You are awoken by an unfamiliar sound. It’s not a completely unfamiliar sound. It could be the falling of a leaf, or the wind through the trees or a the breaking of a twig. It is the silence that surrounds the noise that […]
Oh Sees – Face Stabber [Castle Face] John Dwyer throws us a little bit of a curve ball on Face Stabber. While not a complete departure from the MANY albums he’s produced, this one comes in hot with a little bit more of a pre-prog, kraut-rock vibe! Now, anything Dwyer does is 100% John Dwyer […]
Every month, we feature 40 new titles for you to listen to at your leisure. Of course, we love to give suggestions and play some tunes for you, in the store. But, you really can’t beat the experience of sitting alone with a pair of headphones, absorbing every nuance and detail of a well crafted […]
Here’s another 5 favorites from your friends at Stinkweeds. This is a monthly series, so be sure to check back in! Kit Sebastian – Mantra Moderne [Mr. Bongo] Well, it seems we have a new revival on our hands. Kit Sebastian is another in a growing trend of bands pulling from the psychedelic “World” sound […]
No matter what kind of Dad you have, chances are, he’s got his taste in music…and he just won’t shut up about it. So, this Father’s Day, we’re giving him a break from sharing all that knowledge that, frankly, nobody asked about. I mean, how many times can you be made aware of the “slow […]
Big Thief – U.F.O.F [4AD] In our eyes, Big Thief can do no wrong. When songs originate from such a deep place singer/songwriter Adrienne Lenker seems to have sole access to, any and all directions will be met with admiration and praise. U.F.O.F. puts aside a lot of the heavier “rock” moments that are […]
