We are so stoked to announce the debut full length LP from Kairos Creature Club, eponymously named KCC!

Kairos Creature Club (KCC) is a project from Lena Simon (La Luz) and Glenn Van Dyke (BOYTOY). After years of playing in bands confined by genre, Van Dyke and Simon founded KCC definitively as an exploration of music. As an ever-evolving project, KCC is fueled by collaboration, the duo seeking out individuals who are moved by the moment, and subsequently capturing the minutiae when different combinations of artistry and creativity collide.

KCC is out June 7th

East Los Angeles quartet Levitation Room’s floaty, cosmic songs are always a trip. Since forming nearly a decade ago, they’ve self-produced dizzying, otherworldly music that’s connected with fellow travelers in the hallucinogenic world of outré rock music. Led by singer and guitarist Julian Porte along with founding members Gabriel Fernandez (lead guitar) and Johnathan Martin (percussion), the band has enchanted live audiences at Desert Daze and on tour with like-minded groups Post Animal and Psychedelic Porn Crumpets.

The band’s vivid sound has found them placed on popular playlists like Modern Psychedelia and the legendary superproducer’s Danger Mouse Jukebox. Their 2015 debut, “Friends,” has surpassed 18 million streams. Joined by new member Kevin Perez (bass) in 2021, Levitation Room have continued to expand their colorful, unearthly sound, a process that has culminated with the vibrant new album Strange Weather. Collaborating with former Brian Jonestown Massacre keyboardist Rob Campanella, Jason Kick (Mild High Club), and Black Crowes’ Joel Robinow, Levitation Room take a new step in their story and vision with Strange Weather. The record’s lyrical narratives—about love in the park, life in the city, and the fact that “The world today is such an illusion”—are appropriately steeped in ’60s sonics and a dreamy, lo-fi atmosphere. It’s spacey, celestial guitar music for escaping into, and “it feels just like heaven.”

We are stoked to welcome Brooklyn’s Programmique to the Greenway Records family. The band’s debut 7” ‘Remember What’ is a study of momentum. The Brooklyn three-piece jitters, jabs, and jaunts across their debut – fading into phantasmagoric visions of forgotten objects and treating repetition as a self-help incantation.

The band comprises Zoltán Sindhu, Alex Potter and Greg Tock. Some of the heads may recognize Zoltán as the on and off touring bassist of Acid Dad… so the family runs deep. Having shared a studio where Greenway, Acid Dad and Programmique called home, this release has been a long time coming.

Limited to only 100 copies on Heavy Splatter 7” vinyl, be sure to check out Programmique and add this one to your Greenway vinyl collection!

Los Angeles psych-punk quartet Frankie and the Witch Fingers have returned with their seventh studio album Data Doom, out now via Greenway Records / The Reverberation Appreciation Society. The band has shared album highlight “Mild Davis” with a mind-bending animated music video. Inspired by Miles Davis’ early-70s electric work, the track’s dizzying 7/4 meter winds through chunky riffs, commanding vocals and proggy synths before crash-landing in a minefield of angular guitar harmonies. Additionally, check out the music videos of all the singles below.

Over the past decade, Frankie and the Witch Fingers have operated as an outright force of nature, offering up a revelatory form of psych-rock that hits on both a primal and ecstatically mind-bending level. In the making of their new album Data Doom, the Los Angeles-based four-piece forged a sublimely galvanizing sound informed by their love of Afrobeat and proto-punk—a potent vessel for their frenetic meditations on technological change run rampant, encroaching fascism, and corrosive systems of power. Animated by the explosive energy they’ve brought to the stage in sharing bills with such eclectic acts as Ty Segall and ZZ Top, the result is a major leap forward for one of the most adventurous and forward-thinking bands working today. 

Rooted in the cerebral yet viscerally commanding songwriting of co-founders Dylan Sizemore (vocals, guitar) and Josh Menashe (lead guitar, synth), Data Doom marks the first Frankie and the Witch Fingers album created with bassist Nikki “Pickle” Smith (formerly of Death Valley Girls) and drummer Nick Aguilar (previously a touring drummer for punk legend Mike Watt). In crafting their most rhythmically complex work to date, the band drew heavily from each new member’s distinct sensibilities: Smith tapped into her extensive background in West African drumming (an art form she first discovered thanks to her music-instructor parents), while Aguilar leaned into formative influences like longtime Fela Kuti drummer Tony Allen. Self-produced by the DIY-minded band and recorded direct to tape by Menashe, Data Doom ultimately took shape through countless sessions in their Southeast L.A. rehearsal space, with Frankie and the Witch Fingers allowing themselves unlimited time to explore their most magnificently strange impulses.

We are stoked to welcome Brisbane’s Nice Biscuit to the Greenway family! 

Nice Biscuit create their distinct vision of psychedelic and garage rock by blending together harmonised vocal melodies and driving instrumental grooves. Vocalists Billie Star and Grace Cuell (aka Baby Cool), bring their ethereal and powerful vocal harmonies, synchronised movement and elaborate matching costumes to create a visually stunning live performance. Nick Cavendish (bass), Jess Ferronato (guitar) and Kurt Melvin (drums), offer fuzzy instrumentals, melodic lead guitar sections and tight rhythms that combine to create a swirl of psychy sonic exploration that can’t be missed. 

Nice Biscuit have played with the likes of King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Brian Jonestown Massacre, Allah Las and The Murlocs. This May/June Nice Biscuit are embarking on a UK/EU co-headline tour with band members’ (Grace) new project Baby Cool. We can’t wait to get them to the USA!

Watch / Listen to their deep fried cover of “I Feel Love”

In the meantime, expect some exciting new tracks from Nice Biscuit in 2023 ahead of their much anticipated second album to be co-released in early 2024 by Greenway Records & Levitation’s The Reverberation Appreciation Society in North America + Bad Vibes / Fuzz Club in the UK/EU.

We are thrilled to announce the return of Frankie and the Witch Fingers double album ZAM as a super deluxe Record Store Day release in 2023! This is the record you have been asking for! It’s been out of print for years and it’s the one that changed the game for both the band and Greenway.

This release will feature a new full on red & chrome mirror’d jacket, audiophile grade smoke colored 12″ LP’s in poly-lined inner sleeves, a bonus flexi 7″ with an unreleased demo track taken from the original writing sessions and a massive double sided poster!

Call your local record store today and demand they secure you a copy! This one will be the release to get 🙂  We are so freakin excited!

Out for Record Store Day on April 22nd 2023.

 

Marrying psychedelic pop with folk and a touch of country, Baby Cool is the latest side project by Nice Biscuit co-front woman Grace Cuell, who is releasing her debut album, ‘Earthling On The Road To Self Love’, out today via Greenway Records / The Reverberation Appreciation Society (US), Fuzz Club / Bad Vibrations (UK/EU) & Virgin Music Australia.

Baby Cool’s debut EP is now available for streaming everywhere.

Stream ‘Earthling on the Road to Self Love’

 

“For her debut album as Baby Cool, Grace Cuell evolves her established psychedelic tendencies with glimmers of Nashville twang and New Orleans swing. These eight songs are understated at first, woozy and dreamlike, steered by melodic lap steel guitar runs lacquered in fuzz, carrying wallops of heart in Cuell’s soul-baring ruminations on mental health, self-love and preservation” – NME

 

 

Recorded with Sam Joseph (Family Jordan), the songs on ‘Earthling’ were brought to life with the help of Jess Ferronato (Nice Biscuit), Nick Cavendish (Nice Biscuit) and Drew Heyden (The Flamingo Jones): “I had such a beautiful community of friends that helped bring this whole thing to life. There was magic and love in every part of the process of creating this album.”

Tracklist:
1. The Sea
2. Ode To Mother Luna
3. Altar
4. For Us
5. Poison
6. Country Song

Today, Los Angeles psych-rock juggernauts Frankie and the Witch Fingers have returned with the pummeling new single “Electricide.” The track appears as the A side on a new 7″ backed by the brand new “Chalice” — available via The Reverberation Appreciation Society / Greenway Records. The band is currently finishing their US tour which will finish off with an appearance at Levitation before they embark on a headline tour of Australia.

Following the mind-sweat psychedelics of their last album, Monsters Eating People Eating Monsters…, Frankie and the Witch Fingers snapped back into focus with the tar-pit grease-slick of “Cookin’,” a single that found them scratching through the rubble of rock n’ roll. With a new tour on the horizon, the band follows that single up with “Electricide,” a double side of singe that sees them chewing on iron-plated riffs at a breakneck pace. Fueled by speed, smoke, and an elemental electricity, “Electricide” continues to embrace the street-level heft that crept in with “Cookin’.” They drop into the single, already pushing the venom and volume to its limits, crushing the accelerator to the floorboards. Then, just before the three-minute mark, the band detonates the amps for maximum damage, hitting a heaviness that’s only been hinted at on record, evoking their explosive live shows.

The flip finds them cooling off, but only slightly, with a bit of desert twang butting heads with oxygenated synths. “Chalice” runs its fingers through the listeners’ lymph nodes with a neon- hued intoxication that’s just as enticing as the red-line rip on the a-side. It’s as potent a pairing as the band have offered up yet and just a hint of what the band has in store for the coming year.

Acid Dad is back with a brand new jam and a fresh 7″ release ‘Get Me High’ out today! The new single features an otherworldly video by Acid Dad visual artist Webb Hunt and the 7″ pre-order is live on our site, Pre-Order the 7″ Here

Greenway is stoked to once again co-release with Levitation’s imprint The Reverberation Appreciation Society & each label has their own exclusive colored vinyl 7”

“Since our studio was destroyed by the Hurricane Ida floods, our music has been heavily influenced by the nature of water,” the band says about the track and video. “‘Get Me High’ is about trying to grasp a breath after unexpectedly losing everything. Inspired by children’s cartoons, pipe systems, and fluid dynamics, we created Ding Ding, creatures who find themselves lost in a foreign psychedelic world.” – Acid Dad

We are beyond stoked to introduce you to Greenway’s newest signing Baby Cool!

Brisbane, Australia psych-pop artist Baby Cool is today sharing ‘Magic’, the debut single from the new project by Nice Biscuit co-frontwoman Grace Cuell. Arriving following recent tour dates with Babe Rainbow and The Lazy Eyes, Baby Cool’s ‘Magic’ is out now. Stay tuned for more news from Baby Cool, the debut LP will be co-released by Greenway Records & Levitation’s The Reverberation Appreciation Society in North America, Virgin Music in Australia & Bad Vibes / Fuzz Club in the UK.

Recorded and mixed by Samuel Joseph (Family Jordan), the track ‘Magic’ is performed by an all-star lineup with Jess Ferronato (Nice Biscuit) on drums and guitar, Nick Cavendish (Nice Biscuit) on bass and Drew Heydon (The Flamingo Jones) on keys.

“The songs are deeply sentimental. I have a lot I need to sing about to help me make sense of this earthly pod I have been gifted. If in singing these words out loud, I can help others find solace in knowing that we’re all out here flailing about in the cosmos, then it feels good to me.” – Cuell

‘Magic’ is released alongside a music video made by Brisbane/Berlin-based graphic artist Dougal Morrison. “Dougal is a genuine wizard. Nice Biscuit has worked alongside him for years, so it felt right to have him on board to help visualise Baby Cool. Like most wizards, Dougal’s process is a bit of a mystery to me. For this video he has used a combination of his own graphic design spells and some whack AI technology. However he did it, it felt like magic – which seems fitting.”

We are beyond stoked to officially welcome SPUD to the Greenway family!

SPUD is the Synth-pop solo project of Holly Findlay, bass player of Melbourne’s Stoner/Rock quartet Stonefield. SPUD’s self-titled EP was written and recorded in Holly’s bedroom during the 2020 Coronavirus Pandemic and expertly mixed by Traffik Island’s Zak Olsen. Inspired by the likes of Delta 5, Lizzy Mercier Descloux, and The Mothers of Invention, this EP is a quirky journey of self discovery.

SPUD’s debut 10” is now available now 🥔 2 color-ways up on Greenway & an exclusive Australian color pressing only available @ Strangeworld Records! 

Enjoy 🍟

As Frankie continues their US tour, we are so stoked to welcome some new music into the family! Frankie and the Witch Fingers have been on the road for the last few weeks, and what better time than now for them to birth some brand new music! You heard it here first! Frankie and the Witch Fingers BRAND NEW 7″: “𝐂𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐧’” 𝐁/𝐖 “𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐬𝐮𝐢𝐭” is out now!

The two new tracks see the band dip themselves deeper into the abyss, following their mammoth MEPEM LP and with the addition of Nikki Pickle on bass, the whole gang delivers two new full-on head-trips!

“Cookin’ is a visceral and violent snapshot of three agents of chaos who gleefully inflict destruction and terror wherever they go. They are personifications of the brutality of nature, the wrath of humanity, and the cruel unpredictability of reality. Havoc incarnate, they weave a path of wanton destruction and utter wastefulness throughout a sweaty, summer day in Los Angeles. The significance of moral values, of good and evil, are entirely human constructs; in nature it’s only kill or be killed – and leave the remains for someone else to clean up. The themes behind this song and video are a rumination on the ways in which we are carelessly laying waste to the resources we were gifted. Nature is relentless, humans are destructive, and everything decays eventually. The planet doesn’t belong to us, we belong to the planet, and she’ll be here long after we’re gone.” – Frankie and the Witch Fingers

More GROOP news to come… Stay Tuned 

On Wednesday September 1st, Hurricane Ida came to New York City, suddenly flooding streets, apartments, and our label HQ. The unexpected flood quickly came into our offices/studio space and left close to nothing to be recovered.

Brooklyn Vegan Article

It’s been a lot of taking inventory, moving as much salvageable equipment and product as possible, as well as completely emptying out our space. The outpouring of physical, emotional and financial support from family, friends and our incredible community (that we’re so lucky to be apart of) has kept us going and it’s given us the much needed hope to keep everything moving full steam ahead and determined to get back on our feet as soon as possible. Obviously the destruction has been gut-wrenching; we’ve put so much into making this space a home and creative hub, one that we loved creating from and inviting y’all to

Aside from the monetary losses from thousands of unopened Greenway vinyl and merch, our vintage recording console, 20 guitars + amps, pedals galore and all the Acid Dad merch we had for our upcoming tour, the combined lifelong collections of 8 audiophile/gearhead collectors and artists is priceless and unfortunately has been lost.

It’s funny (dark, twisted humor) that you pay every month for insurance but when something like this happens, the insurance company does everything in their power not to help you out. We’re currently battling them and they’ve made it clear that we likely won’t be getting much, if anything, from them.

But after going through something like this, at the end of the day it’s all material stuff and we’re so grateful no one was hurt, no lives were lost, we’re a little worse for wear but coming back stronger than ever thanks to you. Your generosity has kept us going and we can’t even express how much it means to us. Maybe we’ll write a song about it one day. Until then, THANK YOU for the check ins, the offers to help, the donations and the positive thoughts. We love you!

We are so stoked to bring you Acid Dad’s second LP “Take It From The Dead“, co-released by Greenway Records and LEVITATION’s label, The Reverberation Appreciation Society. ‘Take It From The Dead’ is out now

Buy and Stream “Take It From The Dead”

Take It From The Dead features an array of different influences ranging from 90’s neo-psych, modern post-punk and 70’s rock-n-roll. Acid Dad has crafted a record that sounds new, yet feels nostalgic. In contrast to their earlier work, they make use of slower tempos and expand their sound to include songs that are both more intricate and more hypnotic. To accompany the new record, the band spent the last year collaborating with video artist Webb Hunt, producing psych and glitch art videos that form a visual counterpart to the dreamy distortions of their sound.

During 2020, the band spent their time building a new studio space in Queens, NY, while continuing to independently produce all their own music, art and even building their own guitars. With a new space and vision, the band produced their second LP, Take It From The Dead.

Frankie and the Witch Fingers and Acid Dad will be going on tour this Fall! We are so stoked to see these two bands touring together and to have live shows back in action. Acid Dad will be joining the second half of the tour starting in October, but full dates are below. Can’t wait to see you all again soon!

Acid Dad on the filming of their LEVITATION SESSION: “This was our first attempt at shooting and performing in front of our blue screen rig we made in our studio in Queens, NY. We’ve always talked about doing a blue screen shoot where we could be totally encompassed by CGI FX, but wasn’t until quarantine and not having the option to play shows to finally execute the idea. It’s hard to tell, but it was about 110 degrees in there with all the lights going so there is that authentic show time sweat.

Our visual artist, Webb Hunt, did an amazing job doing all the FX and different CGI looks for the session. It took weeks to edit and create, but it was totally worth creating this swimming pool of feedback and colors. We wanted to make a session that no one else was doing look wise. Something familiar but different and extremely psychedelic.

We reworked a bunch of our older songs with newer tempos and parts to create unique compositions for LEVITATION as well as debuting some newer songs from our upcoming album. It feels strange being off a stage for so long but it’s really exciting being able to attempt to recreate that experience in a multimedia virtual space.”

We are beyond excited to bring you ‘Take It From The Dead,’ the new album from Brooklyn’s Acid Dad! Another full length ripper and co-release between Greenway & psych powerhouse LEVITATION’s label, The Reverberation Appreciation Society.

“Take It From The Dead” features an array of different influences ranging from 90’s neo-psych, modern post-punk and 70’s rock-n-roll. Acid Dad has crafted a record that sounds new, yet feels nostalgic. In contrast to their earlier work, they make use of slower tempos and expand their sound to include songs that are both more intricate and more hypnotic. To accompany the new record, the band spent the last year collaborating with video artist Webb Hunt, producing psych and glitch art videos that form a visual counterpart to the dreamy distortions of their sound.

Acid Dad’s second LP “Take It From The Dead” is set to be released July 16th by Greenway Records & The Reverberation Appreciation Society.

Along with the pre-order, Acid Dad also released their single ‘BBQ’ today, the second single off the album. The band released the first single ‘RC Driver‘ last month.

The long awaited debut album from The Muckers is finally here!

Stream ‘Endeavor’ on all platforms

The aptly titled Endeavor, comes on the heels of frontman Emir Mohseni‘s journey – nothing short of an odyssey: first, as an immigrant taking refuge in New York City from his native Iran to have the right to perform rock music, then as a band caught in the global pandemic who’s had to let go of their greatest strength: thriving on any stage. Upon landing in this new environment, he met the three guys that would become his closest friends, and build with him the enlivening sound and enrapturing live show that The Muckers have garnered early praises for: Anthony Azarmgin at the bass, Chris Cawley on rhythm guitar, and John Zimmerman behind the drums.

The Muckers released five singles ahead of the release which included, ‘Suspended’, ‘That’s All I Want’, ‘So Far Away’, and ‘Will You Make It?’. Lastly, they released a GUM & Ginoli (aka Tame Impala‘s Jay Watson & POND‘s James Ireland) remix of ‘So Far Away’. Each single released was accompanied with unique album artwork featured below.

Make sure you grab a web-store only ‘Core of the Sun’ Red & Yellow Smash Vinyl, classic Clear Vinyl, or Test Pressing signed by the band. The records jacket will feature gold foil accents and a full color inner sleeve.

Pre-order the record here (set to ship mid-March).

Standing out against the layers of noises a city like New York holds is no small feat: The Muckers, a four piece as vibrantly fresh as resolutely timeless, are doing just that.

Don’t miss their Rough Trade Transmissions live performance February 26th, you can tune in at @roughtrade IGTV.

Brooklyn psychedelic rock band Acid Dad released their newest single ‘RC Driver’ last Friday, the first off their new album “Take It From The Dead”.

More info from the release and session below…

Levitation Sessions: the Frankie and the Witch Fingers simulated reality prototype! Plug it into your brain and experience a deep fried, multi-colored, sensory invasion featuring 11 of their latest jammers. A psychedelic rock meltdown in the 4th dimension. Premiered on 7 Saturday, December 5th.

“We spent a full week in the desert shooting our session – it was really more of a space mission than anything else, a self-contained artistic ecosystem. Everyone had been so restless in quarantine that when we came back together again in a giant, hot, hangar in the desert, there was five months of pent-up adrenaline that ignited between the band and our team. We were lucky enough to have our friend, Caster Black, break down his entire studio and set it back up for us to record. Shitshow Dave brought a spaceship’s worth of AV gear, and went vastly above and beyond engineering the lighting, projections, video-capture, and electrical for the show – he also photographed us, fed us, and tattooed us out there too! And, our good friend and visionary video artist, Railroad Bill, captured it all on tape and spent countless hours editing and making it into something I’ve never seen before: a video game where you get to be inside the show as a simulated guest. I hope all the love that went into it is apparent when you see it, and that you enjoy watching it as much as we did making it.” – Frankie and the Witch Fingers

Watch a few clips from the session below and check out the amazing merch that has all SOLD OUT!

We are excited to release the new single “Pienso En Ti” from the mighty Levitation Room! Check out the brand new video below!
🔹🔹
This is the bands first track fully sung in Spanish, 2020 sees the band for lay into a more psych folk sound and they do so exceptionally well. Conceived from a mixture of the necessity to create and lack of social contact, both “Quarantine” and “Pienso En Ti” are born. Maybe 2020 wasn’t all that bad…
🔹🔹
We wanted to memorialize the bands two new songs released in 2020 with a proper 45, so if vinyl is your thing… don’t snooze on this extremely LIMITED run of 100 copies on ‘Isolation Blue’ colored vinyl! Soon to be sought after no doubt, be sure to secure your copy, these will be gone in flash!

Frankie and the Witch Fingers – Monsters Eating People Eating Monsters…

Following the rhythm-wracked single “Cavehead,” shared on these very pages last month, Frankie and the Witch Fingers strike back with another new track that seeks to siphon from the cosmic horror and wonder that lurks between the fibres of space and time. As you prepare to cast off your mortal cage and summon the cruel cosmic gods of old, the tones of ‘Sweet Freak’ strike up, creating a bodily hum that aligns the humours, walking the listener to the edge and slipping over the side of the fissure.

The single’s handed down in tandem with news that it inhabits (along with ‘Cavehead) their new LP Monsters Eating People Eating Monsters… (repeated infinitely).

Pre-Order the new Album NOW!

I’m very excited to announce I will be joining team LEVITATION and heading up their record label The Reverberation Appreciation Society. This has been close to a year of work and I am very excited for what lies ahead. Greenway and RAS will be working together to co-release Frankie and the Witch Fingers’ next LP and things are going to be bigger than ever before. Expect amazing new records coming from both The Reverberation Appreciation Society and Greenway Records as we execute our plan for world domination 🌎 🔥

PRESS RELEASE

Today, the independent music festival and event organization, LEVITATION, announces a new partnership with Greenway Records. For over a decade, LEVITATION (formerly known as Austin Psych Fest) has been a prominent voice fostering creativity and community with its events and releases around the globe.

The organization’s label branch, The Reverberation Appreciation Society announces that Harry Portnof is officially joining the LEVITATION team as the new label head, co-managing with LEVITATION and RAS founder Rob Fitzpatrick. Portnof is the founder of Greenway Records, a DIY label, based and operated in Brooklyn, New York. There, he has cultivated a wellspring of excitement around a new era of garage/psychedelic-leaning artists like Acid Dad, Frankie and the Witch Fingers, Levitation Room, L.A. Witch, Stonefield, and more. His signature trait is the label’s boundary-pushing, aesthetically compelling, limited-run vinyl pressings.

Portnof looks forward to bringing that same passion and enthusiasm to The Reverberation Appreciation Society, which is preparing an exciting release schedule after a brief hiatus. So far, in 2020 the revamped label has released new records from Holy Wave and Ringo Deathstarr, which will be followed by the upcoming full-length album from Frankie and the Witch Fingers, co-released by LEVITATION’s label RAS & Greenway Records.

“Harry’s passion for music and vinyl records, along with his creativity and attention to detail make him an ideal partner to bring into the LEVITATION family. Having a label manager with the skill set and energy that Harry brings to the table means that the horizon is wide open for the label. Plans that have been put by the wayside for many years are now on the front burner, and with Harry at the wheel, the sky’s the limit.” – Rob Fitzpatrick
