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 […]
June is officially African American Music Appreciation Month. Like most “appreciation months” the idea seems a bit ridiculous, considering the amount of music we consume that wouldn’t exist if not for contributions from the Black community. But unfortunately, a lot of that history gets swept under the rug, often taking credit away from many amazing […]
We are thrilled and incredibly lucky to once again be hosting one of our newest favorite bands. Outer Spaces is a band out of Baltimore, Maryland, currently signed to Western Vinyl (another Stinkweeds Favorite) and releasing their first album on that label in late June. We previously covered this album as one of our “5 […]
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 […]
Stef Chura – Midnight [Saddle Creek] A timeless rocker from Stef Chura. Chura’s voice hits like a truck. It’s pushed and strained to that sweet spot right before it becomes contrived. She has a natural affect that a lot of singers might try to fake, with little to no success. The melodies ramble almost in […]

If you’re just now exploring the wonderful world of vinyl, you should know that it has a […]

Like so much rag weed pollen in the air, spring has inundated us with too much great music! But it ain’t nothing to sneeze at! (This is the kind of writing you get when the head writer of your blog is having an allergy attack, but needs to make that deadline. Deal with it!) I’m […]
