Psych

"Often considered the Holy Grail of "real people" records, Kenneth Higney's "Attic Demonstration" was never actually intended to be an official release. It was recorded in New York City by Higney and his accompanist Gordon Gaines (R.I.P.) as a vehicle with which to sell Higney's songs to other artists and was only pressed to vinyl in 1976 when he grew tired of duplicating cassette tapes. Apparently the Jandekian dissonance of the "A. Demo." sound was an unintended by-product of the one take demo sessions. Be that as it may, "Attic Demonstration" is a strange sonic world all of it's own. It is neither too weird to be unappealing to "regular" music listeners nor is it one of those "discoveries" that leaves you wondering what all the hype was about. Acoustic guitar ballads of nearly atonal desolation mix readily with rock 'n' roll numbers featuring hiccuping drums and alien sounding electric guitar. Higney's vocals are by turns sneering and mournful as he sings about lost love and the desire for fame all filtered through his uniquely bent worldview. Although a few ads were placed for the record in The Village Voice and The Aquarian, the fame that Higney sought eluded him (a semi-positive review in Trouser Press notwithstanding). That is, until the album was discovered and distributed by record dealer Paul Major. "Attic Demonstration" has been featured in the Acid Archives and copies of the original LP have soared in price over the years, but you no longer have to pay $100, $200 or even $300 to obtain a copy of this monumental album on vinyl. One Kind Favor and Kenneth Higney have teamed up to bring you an official reissue of "Attic Demonstration" remastered, with all the original artwork and with liner notes by the artist."

"12" vinyl only EP w/ pro-printed covers and inner sleeves, recorded by Justin Higgins at Old Standard Sound

RIYL: Mirrors, Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band, The Hunches, good music

The same high quality you've come to expect from Violet Times, it's our first 'modern/current/new/unknown' band release and there's a definite reason for that.  This band belongs in this same hi-quality company, no question. 

Out of nowhere issue of two previously unreleased 1997 Green Pajamas outtakes!
Very possibly "Strung Behind The Sun" era stuff. The golden years!!!!
London Sundays is right up there with the best melancholy psych they've ever done.
Green (naturally) vinyl. 300 pressed, but this was barely distributed so good luck finding it elsewhere.
We don't have an image of the real cover, but it sucks anyway. The Record however is awesome!

ESSENTIAL!
Back in stock again, the record of 2009 or any other year!
Too necessary to not be in every head expanding record collection.
