Announcing:
We are proud to be able to release the vinyl version of
Polka Dot Dot Dot's Second Full Length Album:
"Syzygy"
This is what Bicycle Records has to say:
"On their 2nd full-length release, Syzygy (a term that refers to planetary alignment), the Dots deliver a record that is unique, beautiful, and more patient than their last. Written after two US tours and a return trip to New Zealand, these songs deal with the fleeting nature of movement, friendship, and infatuation. While still full of their characteristic 3 part harmonies and instrumentation (guitar, banjo, ukulele, musical saw, harp, and hand-clap percussion), Syzygy expands the Dots’ sound with more orchestration and vocal arrangement.
Yet, despite the fairly existential themes of this new record, Polka Dot Dot Dot have crafted an album that floats and bobs on a cosmic sea, and is neither too heavy nor too light. Here, gravity has a gentle touch and allows us along on this trip, leaving us star-speckled and beaming at the end."
This Limited Edition of 500 records will be available in TWO COLORS:
200 in TRANSLUCENT ROYAL PURPLE and 300 in TURQUOISE
And, as a special offer to those of you who wish to pre-order, and do not already have it, we are offering a special deal if you order directly from us at electricity/lust:
Purchase the Syzygy LP, and get the Spring of Alchemy & Amory 7" EP by Polka Dot Dot Dot (Featuring early versions of two Syzygy tracks, and two exclusive songs) for $5. That's BOTH for $20!

Now Available:
Jordan O'Jordan's long awaited new album, Carbon Cycles.
Check out the vinyl:
Here is what Jordan had to say about the new album:
"When electrons share spaces on the outer orbits of atoms, their fates intertwine. These songs are that story. "Carbon Cycles" is a song-cycle outlining the romantic adventures of two individuals who coalesce (in this case, inside of a water molecule), but then are separated (through electron transport chains and molecular recombination). The album finds our electron wanderers repeatedly bumping into one another in various forms, but without full knowledge of each others' existence. Yet, even when separated, once-paired electrons feel a pull of their original alignments. This leaves a traveler with some interior ache and an odd echo of previous form. The first half of the album depicts this longing and desire for realignment. Upon meeting again, under better circumstances, our electronic ingenues recognize each other and rejoice. However, even in this moment of recombination, they know that their paths must again diverge. The second half of the album shows our electrons embracing the impermanence of their interactions, and living with the knowledge that they will align again, in other forms. Bittersweet endings for constant travelers, but perhaps these are thoughtful love songs for long roads." |
