Pre-Order Thread

Not sure if this is real yet, but I came across a listing on EBay for the follow up to Light in the Attic’s City Breeze (Japanese City Pop, AOR, Boogie, etc.) that came out last year. Apparently a Volume 2 is possibly coming out later this spring? Pacific Breeze 2 Japanese City Pop Vinyl Purple Swirl funk vapor pre-order | eBay

I haven’t seen anything in my emails from LITA or on their website, but it might be coming soon. Definitely my favorite comp I bought last year.

It is impossible to talk about modern psychedelic music without mentioning Ripley Johnson. As bandleader of Wooden Shjips and one half of Moon Duo, Johnson has continually charted new cosmic paths that expand on the language of the genre. With Rose City Band, Johnson’s songwriting and beautiful guitar lines take center stage, the veil of psychedelia notably drawn back. While his vocal treatment would be recognizable to any Wooden Shjips fan, the sparseness of the instrumentation lays bare the beauty of his writing. Shimmering guitar lines are free to shine, buoyed by driving rhythms. New to the mix are arrangements and instruments drawn directly from classic country, resulting in songs with more than a hint of twang. The aptly named Summerlong, born of Johnson’s own fondness for the season, delivers an emotional lift—an expression akin to the joy of getting out there on a warm day, be it gathering for a BBQ, hopping onto a bike, leaping into a swimming hole, or simply reading in a park.

Buoyant and joyous, Summerlong is a captivating listen that leaves the listener yearning for more. The record is an ode to freedom, born of a musician stepping out of all routines and whose own liberation is communicated so completely in his music. Summerlong is a record that, taken in its entirety, is an emphatic statement on the songwriting power of Ripley Johnson. Johnson’s joy in every aspect of this album is delightfully infectious.
 
Looks like there was a Rose City Band release last year, too? I completely missed that.

Edit: 16 15 copies of the translucent red vinyl of that last album still for sale direct from Thrill Jockey.

It does, and so did I.
