Haves & Thirds - It's Mostly Guess Work / It'll Clean You Out But It Will Leave You Hollow Inside double EP / 12" vinyl. 300 copies. 13$ ppd.
Hot Releases is proud to announce the long overdue full-length 12" vinyl debut of Tampa, Florida mover & mainstay Todd Lynn's project Haves & Thirds. Active for well over a decade, previous releases have been a fantastic stream of cassettes and vinyl compilation appearances. Each side is a separate EP, paying tributes to screen greats River Phoenix and Leslie Nielsen. The Haves & Thirds style has remained relatively consistent though the years, with appropriated and original beats overlaid with Factory-strength chiming guitar, synth, and movie samples that alchemically produce some of the most addictive, dreamiest music in the underground. This recording, however, features a noticeable step-up in production, with a clarity that reinforces H&T's unique vision plus bass frequencies capable of rattling most domiciles. As somewhat of an aside, Todd also operates one of my top two favorite labels of all-time, Cephia's Treat, which he co-founded with his equally musically formidable brother Ian Lynn. I strongly recommend seeking the label out and making purchases, they're all affordable, hard to go wrong with, and cover a variety of underground styles - noise rock, noise, ineffable electronic music in various modes, bedroom pop, bands of different stripes, more - that also serve as a document of a diverse outsider scene shining in the Florida rough, marked with a history of playing shows in unconventional spaces (bus-stops, underpasses, storage spaces, etc) that fostered the likes of Russian Tsarcasm/Tsarlag, Pro Bro Gold, Byron House, T Func, YUKhONIC, EN, Ant Parade, MLU, Limp Lungs, FiFi, Father Finger, Skeleton Warrior, Parts & Pieces, Then & Than, among others.

Teaadora - Virgin Forever LP w/ bonus one-sided record. 16$ ppd.
The debut album of young midwesterner Teaadora Nikolava is a collection of songs and incantations with an unnerving and affecting core of fragility and intensity primarily based around voice and guitar, though often with noise floating along the edges, background to foreground - there's a raw sense of melancholy but also sweetness and a sort of uncompromising loveliness, though the poppier sensibilities are tempered with a vague feeling that somebody's relatives are possibly oozing up from beneath the floorboards. Many transcendent late night emotions to be found on this one. Includes a one-sided bonus disc featuring excellent early, barely released, and live material for your listening pleasure.

Tracey Trance - Florissant cassette, c-32. 6$ppd.
Extended live and low-fi organ and keyboard warm weather jams that jaunt along with an Ethiopiques vibe in places, with the potential to blossom into reggae. Sounds amazing even on the tiniest of speakers. Open the doors and windows, step outside, listen to baseball, look at photos of the Rockies.
