The son of legendary psychedelic filmmaker<br />
Alejandro Jodorowsky (Holy Mountain, Santa<br />
Sangre), Adan Jodorowsky is a polyglot who sings<br />
in Spanish, French, and English. As a child, James<br />
brown taught him how to dance and george<br />
harrison, who was friends with his parents, gave him<br />
his first guitar lessons. Amador is his US debut, and<br />
as <strong>the</strong> name would imply <strong>the</strong> songs are romantic,<br />
dark, and obsessed with love (“amador” is Spanish<br />
for “lover”). Running <strong>the</strong> gamut from seductive<br />
cosmic folk to funky cabaret, Amador includes a<br />
collaboration with Devendra banhart and a handful<br />
of songs with lyrics contributed by fa<strong>the</strong>r Alejandro.<br />
Press Quotes<br />
“Splits his time between Mexico City, Los Angeles,<br />
Paris, and anywhere <strong>the</strong> tour for his melancholy new<br />
album, Amador, takes him. Catch him if you can.”<br />
— New York Times magazine<br />
“His playing is Randy Newman-esque, with whimsy<br />
and a slight Western twang, only <strong>the</strong> lyrics are<br />
whispered in Spanish at leonard Cohen depths.<br />
Sometimes <strong>the</strong> songs venture into creepy, sultry, and<br />
carnivalesque, with some burlesque instrumentation,<br />
like a muffled trumpet. It doesn’t make you happy<br />
per se, but it captures your mood so well that you<br />
fall in love all over again.” — MTV Iggy<br />

Japan,” Saori Yuki released her debut album in<br />
Japan in 1969 and went on to make over 30 albums<br />
in her 42 years. Yuki discovered Pink Martini after<br />

2007 album Hey Eugene! Most recently, she sang<br />
a verse of “Silent Night” in Japanese for <strong>the</strong> band’s<br />

In an old GMC, burning Streets managed a few full US tours, multiple<br />
East Coast and Canadian tours, and <strong>the</strong>ir first journey overseas in late<br />
2010. Inspired by <strong>the</strong> constant inconsistencies that <strong>the</strong>y encountered<br />
over <strong>the</strong> years, <strong>the</strong> band felt it appropriate to title this new release Sit<br />
Still. In support of a more mature and experienced band, <strong>the</strong> record<br />

SKiN GRAFT Records is proud to announce its<br />
100 th release, <strong>the</strong> debut album from RUINS Alone.<br />
Originally conceived as a power trio, Japan’s RUINS<br />
was formed by drummer/vocalist Yoshida Tatsuya<br />
in 1985. Countless tours and numerous recordings<br />
would follow, and Tzomborgha, released in 2002 by<br />
Ipecac Records, would be <strong>the</strong>ir last full-length.<br />
In 2005, RUINS unveiled one last song,<br />
“Gwodhunqa,” for a SKiN gRAFT/Relapse Records<br />
co-release. In <strong>the</strong> summer of that year Yoshida took<br />
on <strong>the</strong> task of performing <strong>the</strong> music of RUINS<br />
solo, with a different guest bass player in each<br />
city, embarking on <strong>the</strong> “Bassist Wanted Tour.”<br />
From this point on, Yoshida would continue RUINS<br />
as a one-man act, touring as RUINS Alone—and<br />
was chosen by matt groening to perform at All<br />
Tomorrow’s Parties in May 2010.<br />
It’s been nearly 10 years since <strong>the</strong> last RUINS<br />
album was released. Now, having traveled <strong>the</strong><br />
world time and time again, refining RUINS for <strong>the</strong><br />
21 st century, Yoshida is ready to release <strong>the</strong> debut<br />
album from RUINS Alone. These 23 tracks feature<br />
all-new compositions as well as new recordings of<br />
classic RUINS songs sporting new arrangements.<br />
Press Quotes<br />
“The main riff is as stubbornly assured as anything<br />
bad brains put to wax, and lest you get bored during<br />
its eight seconds, ano<strong>the</strong>r wild-ass riff is <strong>the</strong>re to<br />
take its place, again and again.” — Pitchfork<br />
“RUINS explore string-popping ideas only to<br />
degenerate into complex whirlpools of distortion,<br />
<strong>the</strong>n regroup into a new version of <strong>the</strong>ir original<br />
idea with surprising grace. RUINS grow on you like<br />
a cancerous cell, and are killer.” — CMJ<br />

Journey of One is a pinnacle live performance captured during <strong>the</strong> zenith<br />
of Steve Roach’s rich tribal-ambient origins of <strong>the</strong> mid-1990s. The<br />
music rises from <strong>the</strong> darkness, an ancient voice chants in serpentine<br />
ecstasy only to subside and hover next to silence, soon broken by raging<br />
hybrid trance grooves, didgeridoo, and mind-altering soundscapes that<br />
mesh to form a soundtrack for a future-primal culture. Journey of One is<br />
an ascent into <strong>the</strong> mystical and primordial places Roach first developed<br />
on Dreamtime Return, Artifacts, Origins, World’s Edge, and his<br />
Suspended Memories collaborations. Roach meticulously, passionately<br />
utilizes <strong>the</strong> electro-acoustic nature at <strong>the</strong> heart of this sound: earthy<br />
ferocity and multi-timbral frequencies drawn out to <strong>the</strong>ir fullest. The<br />
music shapeshifts between moods, always rushing forward, engaging<br />
a range of electronic and acoustic tools: analog and digital synths, clay<br />
water pots, butterfly cocoons and seedpod shakers, and ocarinas.<br />
The didgeridoos’s hoary sonic quality and a tumbling avalanche of<br />
hand-struck percussion fur<strong>the</strong>r illustrate <strong>the</strong> tribal canvas.<br />

This is music that gently rotates around its own axis in a time-suspended<br />
haze. The track “The Passage” originated as <strong>the</strong> blissed-out 16-minute<br />
closer to 1999’s Blacktape CD As One Aflame Laid Bare By Desire.<br />
It would take over a decade for <strong>the</strong> composition to resurface when<br />
Rosenthal began work on <strong>the</strong> score for Mark A. Michaels & Patricia<br />
Johnson’s guided-meditation set, Ananda Nidra. “Rae,” <strong>the</strong> last ten<br />
minutes of <strong>the</strong> album, adds a new element to <strong>the</strong> work. Stacking <strong>the</strong><br />
shimmering harmonics of long-standing Blacktape collaborator and<br />
violinist Vicki Richards into a sonorous ca<strong>the</strong>dral dome, “Rae“ spirals<br />
higher and higher before fading away into a grateful silence.<br />

A new era dawns for iconic band Pop Will Eat<br />
Itself, with a revival by principal songwriter and<br />
co-frontman graham Crabb. This unique band,<br />
whose influence touched <strong>the</strong> careers of acts such<br />
as The Prodigy and Nine Inch <strong>Nail</strong>s, still has a<br />
large, strong following worldwide.<br />
After <strong>the</strong> 1986 debut, Pop Will Eat Itself made its<br />
mark on <strong>the</strong> independent music world by morphing<br />
from indie-pop wonders into hip-hop/rock crossover<br />
pioneers. Years ahead of <strong>the</strong>ir time, PWEI produced<br />
a furious mix of beatboxes, metal riffs, MC’ing, and<br />
pop songs. Industrial grooves, machine-precise<br />
rhythms, and infectious grooves still prevail on New<br />
Noise Designed By A Sadist, as Crabb faced <strong>the</strong><br />
challenge of creating a classic PWEI album a full<br />
25 years after <strong>the</strong> first EP release. The result is an<br />
album that sounds more exciting and relevant than<br />
most of what is being produced in 2011!<br />

Following <strong>the</strong> release of Wind[Re]Wind, a collection of classics,<br />
Absolute body Control is back with Shattered Illusion! Dirk Ivens and<br />
Eric van Wonterghem return with a whole new set of classic tracks,<br />
featuring modern sound recording techniques that blend seamlessly<br />
with <strong>the</strong> roots of low-fi electro. Shattered Illusion is a beautiful nod to<br />
<strong>the</strong> early roots of electronic pop and industrial. Absolute Body Control<br />
was formed in 1980, and <strong>the</strong> band members have been influencing<br />
and inventing genres ever since.<br />

Fans of Daniel Graves’ previous albums won’t be disappointed as All<br />
Beauty Destroyed continues in <strong>the</strong> dance floor tradition of A Violent<br />
Emotion and Close To Human, though with this new album things take<br />
a decidedly darker and more sinister turn. The first single, “The Devil’s<br />
in <strong>the</strong> Details,” showcased <strong>the</strong> evolved sound that Graves expounds<br />
on with <strong>the</strong> new release. The second single, “Inhuman,” is bound to<br />
keep DJs satisfied with its pulsing rhythm and shout-along vocals.<br />
All Beauty Destroyed promises to be <strong>the</strong> darkest, most melodic, and<br />
dynamic piece of work Graves has ever created.<br />

Since 2005, Seattle-based Nazca lines have been piecing toge<strong>the</strong>r<br />
songs that combine emotionally charged lyrics and loud post-rock/punk<br />
instrumentation. Founding members and guitarists Cory Alfano and<br />
Brett Wedeking have stuck it out through a number of lineup changes,<br />
and a solid roster is now in place with <strong>the</strong> addition of Andy King and<br />
Ryan Minchon on drums and bass, respectively. The foursome writes<br />
music that draws inspiration from a variety of shared influences; when<br />
pressed, most in <strong>the</strong> band can agree on Refused, At The Drive-In,<br />
and Fugazi. Nazca Lines has a punk lineage that shows initially in<br />
songwriting and energy; however, given a closer inspection <strong>the</strong> listener<br />
can hear a more contemplative and ponderous side of <strong>the</strong> band.<br />

for Japanese melodic punk band hi-Standard. Fat Wreck Chords<br />
released three of <strong>the</strong>ir albums, and <strong>the</strong> band supported NOFX on a<br />
full US tour. Then, at <strong>the</strong> peak of <strong>the</strong>ir career in 2000, <strong>the</strong>y abruptly<br />
broke up. Now, hi-Standard’s massive fan base has followed Ken<br />
to his eponymous solo project. He still has <strong>the</strong> same gifted musical<br />
creativity and charisma, keeping his influence strong among <strong>the</strong> wide<br />

Songs of <strong>the</strong> Jewish-American Jet Set is a proud collection of <strong>the</strong><br />
dizzying catalog of Tikva Records, <strong>the</strong> flagship independent Jewish<br />
record label of 20 th century America.<br />
Founded in 1947, Tikva’s catalog was wide-ranging—everything<br />
from Israeli folk songs to Jewish-American swing, from klezmer pop<br />
to cantorial singing, from Catskills comedy to key political speeches<br />
of Jewish leaders—and it became something of a “Jewish Motown,”<br />
home to <strong>the</strong> Jewish music world’s biggest names. Despite <strong>the</strong> fact<br />
that Tikva’s releases were a direct reflection of <strong>the</strong> major social<br />
<strong>the</strong>mes and cultural shifts of Jewish America in <strong>the</strong> ’50s and ’60s,<br />
its contributions to American popular music, and Jewish musical and<br />
cultural history, have been largely forgotten.<br />

Wayne Coyne’s Flaming lips, <strong>the</strong>ir live show is not<br />
to be missed. Since forming in 2008, <strong>the</strong> band has<br />
released a handful of EPs and a vinyl single.<br />
In May 2010, SUNBEARS! was selected as one<br />
of <strong>the</strong> best Unsigned bands by Alternative Press.<br />
As a result, <strong>the</strong> band was tapped to record a song<br />
for <strong>the</strong> hit children’s television show Yo Gabba<br />
Gabba and perform several dates on <strong>the</strong> sou<strong>the</strong>ast<br />
tour of YGG’s “Super <strong>Music</strong> Friends Show.” Their<br />
song & video “Imagination Adventure” aired on<br />
YGG in Spring 2011. In March 2011, SUNBEARS!<br />
officially showcased at SXSW 2011 to a captive<br />
Austin audience.<br />
Their amazing live show and <strong>the</strong> sheer joy that<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir songs exude have put SUNBEARS! in high<br />
demand on <strong>the</strong> road, with support slots on national<br />
tours with mates of State (barsuk), black Kids<br />
(Columbia Records), Dredg, and gil mantera’s<br />
Party Dream.<br />

marc Ribot, Sensational, and its leader Seb El Zin, also known for being<br />

post-No-Wave guitars and urgent rap. Kiki Picasso’s cover places <strong>the</strong><br />

“While on <strong>the</strong> surface it’s easy to dismiss <strong>the</strong>se Masters’ work as mere<br />

Awakened by <strong>the</strong> pulsing currents of electro ghosts of <strong>the</strong> ’80s,<br />
The break Up’s sound can be found in addictive synths, beats, and<br />
melodies. Shane Allen Hall conceived <strong>the</strong> hard beats and captivating<br />
melodies of <strong>the</strong> group and, blending spirit and voice to song, Severina<br />
Sol completed <strong>the</strong> duo. Later <strong>the</strong>y would add Sarah Stewart on<br />
keyboards and Rey Guajardo on drums, and like <strong>the</strong> birth of stars<br />
in <strong>the</strong> night sky, The Break Up would create a great disturbance of<br />
movement and sound, color, and depth.<br />

Hailing from Los Angeles, Touche Amore set <strong>the</strong>mselves<br />
against <strong>the</strong> glamour and greed of <strong>the</strong>ir hometown culture<br />
with <strong>the</strong>ir passionate debut. Where <strong>the</strong>ir demo 7” (No Sleep<br />
Records) was full of promise, To The Beat Of A Dead Horse<br />
feels fully realized: <strong>the</strong> guitars bend and weave but always<br />
maintain <strong>the</strong>ir drive, <strong>the</strong> rhythms are frequently off-kilter but<br />
never off-time, and <strong>the</strong> vocals are screamed at <strong>the</strong> edge of<br />
