A new limited edition white vinyl 12" from Forest Swords is set to drop in June. Fjree Feather is actually a re-issue (and remaster) of demo material previously available on CD-R. You can pre-order it now and all your money will be donated to the Red Cross's tsunami recovery efforts in Japan.
Here's a taster:
His Dagger Paths EP was one of the best releases of the 2010 and is still available.

Ladies who Lunch - Bull in the Heather (1995)
For a small period in the 90s uber hip Beastie Boys vanity project Grand Royal actually hit paydirt with releases by the likes of Luscious Jackson and their much missed magazine of the same name (favourite article: Vincent Gallo interviewing Vincent Gallo)!
For me though their greatest moment came in 1995 with the release of a perfectly formed 7" simply called Ladies who Lunch Present: Kims We Love. With its simple illustration of a ladies tennis match on the front and photo of a toy casio keyboard on the flip I simply had to have it ... and that was before I realised that the songs were covers of two of my favourites Gigantic & Bull in the Heather ... But far from being just pure slavish examples of hero worship, these cover versions demonstrate lo fidelity deadpan minimalism at its finest with Bull in the Heather in particular giving it socks with a dirty John Carpenteresque electronic squiggle ... Of course its only fair to say that both ladies (who lunch) were on first name terms with the Kims (Deal and Gordon) of their love (Josephine Wiggs being The Breeders bassist and all), but do you think posterity cares!
