Sleepytime Trio Memory Minus Plus Minus repress, gatefold and colored vinyl

Memory Minus Plus Minus Repress: A Hand-Screened Necktan Edition, Plus New Clear Vinyl

Posted 09.11.2026

Sleepytime Trio Four Hundred Years

A misprinted jacket becomes a hand-screened tribute to a Richmond legend named Necktan. A new clear vinyl pressing arrives alongside it, both available today.

"The accident is the quickened pulse of creation. To erase it is to erase the soul of the work."
- Jean Dubuffet

"Do these lips make my neck look tan?"
- Necktan

In the mid and late 90s, the residents of 1208 West Franklin Street in Richmond, VA ran a recurring exhibition called "Art Gone Wrong," built from discarded and salvaged art the house amassed and titled. One unsettling half-finished painting, pulled from near a dumpster, was christened "Necktan." It grew into legend, eventually becoming the Mona Lisa of 1208's Louvre, guard and velvet rope included. They even screened t-shirts with his face, incomplete lips and all.

Necktan's first record credit came a couple nights before Sleepytime Trio and Four Hundred Years left for a three month tour, when their split seven inch arrived at the house. The cover was supposed to be embossed cardstock; budget cuts left it a cheap photoshop effect instead. Rather than accept it, the bands weaponized the flaw and hand-pulled Necktan's portrait over the cover using the existing t-shirt screen.

Nearly thirty years later, history repeats. The jackets for Sleepytime Trio's Memory Minus Plus Minus repress came back with scrambled lyrics and a wrong tracklist. Instead of tossing them, the band invoked Duchamp again: two hand-pulled impressions of Necktan, in baby pink and baby blue, now sit inside the gatefold, partially obscuring the misprinted text, typos still visible beneath the ink, a neon dual-tone palimpsest. Paired with chaotic "random remnants from the factory floor" colored vinyl, the record turns its own production flaws into a celebration of failure.

For anyone who wants it clean, there's an alternative: a new clear vinyl pressing, released alongside the Necktan edition, commemorating an early Sleepytime 7" that famously listed Drew's AOL email in the credits. The email doesn't work anymore. These records do.

Far Apart's Hazel + Others Vinyl Sold Out in Under 24 Hours

Posted 08.08.2026

Lovitt Records Far Apart

The vinyl pressing of Far Apart's Hazel + Others, released jointly by Lovitt Records and Carcrash Records, sold out in less than 24 hours of going up for pre-order. Both the 300-copy clear vinyl and 200-copy black vinyl runs are officially gone.

For anyone who missed the story: Far Apart was a Swedish emo band from Luleå, formed in 1995 and named after a Cure song. Drawing on Fugazi, Drive Like Jehu, and Jawbox, they built a raw, melodic sound during their brief run in the late '90s before quietly disappearing, only to find a cult following years later through online communities. Hazel + Others is the definitive document of that band: an expanded version of the original Hazel EP padded out with unreleased tracks from an album that never came to be, including a 1998 version of the title track itself.

We're already working on a repress, so if you missed out the first time, another shot is coming. We're also cooking up a few special surprises around this release that we're not ready to talk about yet. Stay tuned. Follow Lovitt on Bandcamp to hear it first

In the meantime, the digital album is still up and streaming/downloadable now. "Others" streaming on BANDCAMP-FIRST!

Sóley - Mother Melancholia

Posted 10.20.2021

Sóley

With three solo LPs under her belt, Icelandic musician sóley, is back with Mother Melancholia. This new concept album sees sóley moving away from indie-pop to create the soundtrack to the end of the world as we know it. Using an accordion to begin writing many of the songs, she was able to experiment with a whole new range of new and exciting sounds. The album chronicles the end of the world culminating with Earth’s final moments. Mother Melancholia is finds the artist confidently exploring new sonic territory with the aim of expressing the real person inside of her. The music might be shrouded in darkness, but this is a move that fills her with joy and light.

Trupa Trupa

Fall is heating up. We are pumped to announce that we will be release Polish based Trupa Trupa’s newest record this fall. The band blew us away at this year’s Iceland Airwaves and have gone on to build amazing press and release a stellar single with Sub Pop. The new full length is 12 darkly layered and nuanced anthems all recorded, produced and mixed by Michal Kupicz in Gdańsk's Custom 34 studios.

Of The Sun will be out on September 13th, released in Europe with our friends at Glitterbeat Records, in Japan with Moorworks Records and in Poland with Antena Krzyku Records. More news and tour dates to follow.

“Trupa Trupa are an art rock band from Gdansk. Fusing elements of post-hardcore, no wave and psychedelia, the four-piece exude a restless energy that bears the hallmarks of Fugazi’s uncompromising punk ethos…the band weave absurd lyrics through liquifying guitar riffs, angular bass lines and concise percussion.” -- The Wire
