VINYL TUESDAY: EXCLUSIVE 10-INCH FROM CZARFACE (INSPECTAH DECK, 7L AND ESOTERIC) FEATURING MF DOOM!

August 24, 2015 - The Record Exchange Blog , The Vinyl Word - by - No Comments

czarface 2It’s Vinyl Tuesday! Record Exchange customers receive up to $5 in used vinyl* with every $25 in new vinyl purchased and have access to early and exclusive releases. This week’s releases:

CZARFACE – Ka-Bang! 10-inch color picture disc
It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s CZARFACE & MF DOOM! Who better to team up with the boom-bap hero de jour CZARFACE but the super-villain himself … the masked man known as MF DOOM! “Ka-Bang!” accomplishes just that, and is taken from the bestselling Every Hero Needs A Villain, the sophomore album from CZARFACE, the collaborative stylings of Wu-Tang Clan’s Inspectah Deck and indy rap vets 7L & Esoteric. On it, the three MCs assemble for some clobberin’ time over a hypnotically sparse and bass heavy track from DJ 7L. The picture disc 10-inch also contains the lyrical krypton of “Deviatin’ Septums” (only available digitally until now), plus the mighty “Ka-Bang! (Suckface’s Swine Mix),” which is exclusive to this release! The b-side features instrumental versions to all three tracks. All of it is pressed on high quality 10-inch picture disc vinyl featuring the amazing comic-book-inspired art work of L’Amour Supreme of Mishka NYC fame. Side A depicts CZARFACE tangling with MF DOOM, and Side B has CZARFACE exposing his inner workings. With great power comes great responsibility! CZARFACE embraces that head on, and crusades against wack MCs across the universe!

ABOUT VINYL TUESDAY

With the move to a global Friday street date in July, Vinyl Tuesday was established to celebrate music in physical form and give record store customers access to early and exclusive releases. For artists, it’s a chance to showcase special releases on a special day and not get lost on the increasingly crowded Friday/weekend.

* Must be redeemed at time of purchase. Offer valid during regular business hours (10am-9pm) on Tuesdays only. The Record Exchange will not issue store credit for any unused portion of the Vinyl Tuesday used vinyl bonus.

GHOST’S ‘MELIORA’ OUT AUGUST 21!

August 24, 2015 - The Record Exchange Blog , The Vinyl Word - by - No Comments

418456730605-500Ghost‘s new album Meliora will be available at The Record Exchange on CD and LP on Friday, Aug. 21!

Steeped in subversive themes of humanism, counterculture and anti-establishmentarianism, Ghost’s third album was produced by Klas Ahlund, mixed by Andy Wallace and is their heaviest and most melodic project to date. Lead singer Papa Emeritus II has been “let go” and was replaced by the younger, more powerful Papa Emeritus III, who expertly leads his Ghouls through 10 scorching tracks, including “Cirice,” which means “church” in Old English and is an ode to institutions inventing the problem so that they can offer the solution.
