Fergus & Geronimo are Jason Kelly and Andrew Savage. You might know them from Wax Museums and Teenage Cool Kids respectively.
What started as a recording project between friends has manifested into another extraordinary addition to the Denton, TX roster of current bands.
Upon first listen, one can instantly recognize these two lads are intimately familiar with their influences. Never mind the psychedelia, this is straight pop, no bullshit.

PSYCHEDELIC HORSESHIT- "shitgaze anthems" 12" (WOODSIST023) ---> $12 postage paid in the USA

"After about a 2 year absence, Psychedelic Horseshit is back with an EP of alleged B-sides from an upcoming full length..."I only listen to OK Computer and Cranes. The Fall sucks, DIY sucks, we suck, you suck." said Matt Horseshit in a recent interview."Why should anyone listen to you then?" replied the reporter."Because we're FUN, duh." And even though you wanna hate 'em, you gotta admit, they kinda are fun. Matt is a dick, of course, and Rich is hilariously clueless mostly, and by all means most of the stuff on this SHITGAZE ANTHEMS EP should'nt work, whether it be the white-boy dub section, the cliche acoustic ballad with backwards guitar, the blatant Dylan rips, or the overall amateur playing, but for some reason these elements that usually reek of pretention and failure actually endear you to the band and their songs. Yes, they're called Psychedelic Horseshit. Yes, they do suck, but I'll be damned if they aren't one of my favorite bands in the world, and they're only getting better, but if I tried to tell you why it'd only make 'em sound worse. So it goes..."- matt horseshit





GANGLIANS- s/t- 12" Mini-LP (WOODSIST028)--->$15 postage paid in the USA

Sacramento's Ganglians want an island somewhere where they can soak in the sun and prowl the canopy by night. It's not often that they do get out, but they can get down for that. Recording sometimes as one, sometimes as four it's a real game to figure out where the entity comes from and where it's going. First and foremost it's about uncertain pleasures. It's a bit like choose your own adventure. There's "codeine balladry"; a slightly upsetting tempo that is quickly flushed into an aural high, the next moment you're in the toy strewn abyss of the bedroom and then out to the tribal caves of the natives. The planets align and the sun beats down, palms tingling, and you are on the island they've built, the scenery constantly shifting for a better view, of you. 8 tracks in 24 min





THEE OH SEES- "tidal wave" 7"(WOODSIST026)----> OUT OF STOCK. more soon

"Well what can I say about Thee Oh Sees this year that I haven't already said, Dwyer is owning '09 and the tide's not poised to stop here.
Dwyer's got a way with the strings that seemed to have died with the early 60's, that kind of joyous ring that first gave people the unmistakable
itch for the electric guitar. From the first notes of "Tidal Wave" the itch is in effect and then the yelps come in to seal the deal. Prime Oh Sees,
how can you say no to that?"- Andy French/raven sings the blues





REAL ESTATE- "fake blues" 7" (WOODSIST029)---->SOLD OUT

limited to 900. Full Length CD/LP out now on Woodsist







WOODS- "Songs of Shame" LP (WOODSIST025) ----> ------->LP= $15 postage paid in the USA

The fourth full length by Woods, Songs of Shame, rips deeper with both 90 second and 10 minute
forays into skeletal psychedelia. This is not to say their idiosyncratic songwriting style & vocalizing
is not present in spades but expanded, colored, and twisted into a tie-dye of soundscapes. Road worn,
windblown, and deeply grooved. Full color matte jackets with printed inner sleeve.





KURT VILE- "Constant Hitmaker" LP (WOODSIST024) ----> ----->LP= $15 postage paid in the USA

Philadelphia lo-fi bedroom psych singer/songwriter. Originally released on CD in 2008 on Gulcher Records
"oh snap, here it is, finally out on the wax, kids! the first official collection of Kurt Vile’s brand of space pop music that “started it all” for him (if you will): a bunch of his favorite tunes from his out-of-print, self-released cdrs, other exclusive cuts, and one studio smash hit called “freeway” (voted  #1 song of ’08 by many all over cybertown/talked up in the real-life streets by tons!) all lumped together onto one sweet and shockingly cohesive full length album. first released as a cd-only thing on gulcher records, and now brought to you on sweet, sweet analog -the way God intended music to be heard – vinyl. hand picked pop gems, acoustic psyche-strummers, and finger-picked heart breakers from the bedroom of philly’s constant hitmaker. much gorgeous analog synth to boot! kv-stylized, of course. .. " -Tough Critic, on cnstnt htmkr
 
“yeah, you can call this my first official album. the obvious reason being it was my first thing to be released on an actual ‘label.’ but another, way better, reason is that i feel these tunes have accumulated overtime in such a way that they were merely waiting around in a psychic fashion; to be sequenced together here: now happily wed in psychedelic bliss forever.” -Kurt Vile looks back.
 
"kurt vile is the nom de plume of philadelphian kurt vile (!) whose shimmering home recordings reflect the artists admiration of everything from delta blues to the minimalist agro of suicide, the downer psyche of 39 clocks as well as the skiffle hum of strapping fieldhands. in other words, a real globe trotter. kurt has shared bills...as well as wiped the floor...with the likes of blues control, pink reason, clock cleaner, times new viking, magik markers, to name a few. this is his debut release. lend him your ears." - - tom lax, siltbreeze







BLANK DOGS- "The Fields" CD (WOODSIST021) ----->CD= $10ppd

7 song Mini-LP.

"BlankDogs are actually singular: It's the insanely prolific one-man
Brooklyn-based band of Mr. Blank Dog. We don't know too much about the
biography of the guy behind the bedroom new-wave pop/punk and he's
usually covering his face with masks or bedspreads, but that's fine.
The aura of anonymity allows you to focus on the sounds -- and,
really, he might be releasing a ton of things, but there's definitely
a higher jam to crap ratio. It's like Joy Division vocal lines with
the Cure's synth and guitar melodies filtered through ancient
submerged keyboards and eroded recording equipment. And that voice?
All the feedback in the world can't hide his knack for melody." -stereogum





WAVVES- s/t- LP (WOODSIST022) ------->LP= $15ppd

lo-fi beach punk anthems by San Diego's Nathan Williams. beautiful
timeless melodies on top trash can guitars and blown out drums.14
tracks in 35 minutes. follow up full length to be released by De
Stijl.





MAGIC LANTERN- s/t - LP (WOODSIST019) ---->OUT OF STOCK. DO NOT ORDER / 2nd press coming soon

Reissue of their self-titled CD-R. edition of 500 on black vinyl.

"MagicLantern came into being at the mid-point of the decade, sparked
into existence by a simultaneous period of musical discovery for Philip
French, William Giacchi, and Cameron Stallones. Inspired by the
psychedelic approach to musical tone and structure in various eras and
genres of rock (not at all excluding Germany and Japan in the '70s), the
three realized they ought to make use of the new creative tools they'd
stumbled upon, and began jamming the summer away in twin poles of Long
Beach and Whittier, CA. Over the course of a year they recorded every jam
and compiled a full-length's worth of home-studio demos which later became
their self-released CD-R. At the same time, each member was developing
solo and side projects to channel parallel universes of sound. A year
after their first jam together, MagicLantern decided to make the leap to
playing live and recruited good friends and like-minded musicians Chip
Knechtel and Gavin Fort to be their marathon rhythm section. The jams from
their CD-R were used as the blueprints for the band to develop a raw,
stripped-down sound that emphasized hypnotic rhythms and improvised guitar
duels. After being invited to play at the Tee Pee Records showcase
"Manifest Destiny" in August of '07, th' Lantern kept up a steady diet of
shows in LA and Long Beach for the next year, earning a local following
and two highly limited tapes on Not Not Fun Records. Through the spring of
'08 they began writing new material as a band and developing the new songs
live. In the summer they recorded these jams with sound wizard Bobb Bruno,
which led to the Not Not Fun LP High Beams that September. At this point
the band had fully emerged from transition into a shared creative vision
of five musicians, each possessing a singular voice, all united in the
common goal to engage both mind and body through good vibrations."







CRYSTAL STILTS- S/T- CD (WOODSIST017)----> CD= $10ppd

Crystal Stilts started in Brooklyn in 2003 as Brad Hargett and JB Townsend. Not really trying to be a "band" they recorded and self-released their single "Shattered Shine" on their Feathery Tongue label in '04 with friend Sean Mafucci (producer of Gang Gang Dance, Psychic Ills, Kid Congo Powers etc.) With no shortage of lazy Jesus and Mary Chain and Factory records comparisons, (more like VU, Felt, and Blue Orchids) in 2005-06 they continued to play in New York with bands such as the Long Blondes, 1990s and The Monochrome Set and recorded a 4 song ep. Kyle Forrester (Ladybug Transistor etc. etc.) joined them at gigs playing organ as well. After a brief hiatus to record there back catalogue for upcoming LP (Slumberland) they adopted Andy Adler (who played bass on Eric Copeland of Black Dice fuzzpop outfit Ninjas) to rock the bass. After opening for the Clean in November, Frankie Rose (Vivian Girls) waltzed into their life to play the stand-up drums and complete the equation.

compiles their 12" ep and the "Shattered Shine" 7inch.

PITCHFORK REVIEW







SUN ARAW- "Boat Trip"- 12" (WOODSIST018) ----> $15ppd

Boat Trip might be some hidden soundtrack to Donkey Kong warp-whistling straight into Ayahuasca Country. In about twenty minutes Sun Araw manages to navigate a psychedelic jungle cruise through canopy din & spooked drone, then he noses the boat out of the water and lifts into uncharted dub-spheres. The back half of this entranced tour is like being (fortunately) trapped inside an old Upsetters jam played at half-speed with twice the shaman-chant and reverb drenched percussion. Normally we wouldn't trust taking this kind of trip with just anybody, but with wheel and rudder alike in the hands of Magic Lantern co-captain Cameron Stallones, we can sip our yage-of-choice in peace and share the Sun Araw vision as one. Originally issued on Stunned Records as a limited CDR, here it gets the deluxe vinyl treatment.






MENEGUAR- "The In Hour" CD/LP (WOODSIST013) ----> CD=$10ppd / LP=$15ppd

Switching instruments and experimenting with recording techniques,
Meneguar has cooked up a totally unique(and surprising) record. The In
Hour channels the spontaneity and aesthetics of Swell Maps, the pop
hooks of the Zombies, and lyrical collage of Guided By Voices.
Everything was home recorded at their little Xanadu in Brooklyn, Rear House,
home base to the Woodsist label and the changing roster of Meneguar's
alter egos(Woods, Shepherds). Only six months since their last record, The In Hour
represents a serious departure that still holds true to the band's undeniable pop sensibility.


limited edition black vinyl with full color jackets. first 100 direct mailorder copies come with a full color 11 x 17 poster.







VIVIAN GIRLS- "Tell The World" 7" (WOODSIST016) ---->OUT OF STOCK

irresistible mix of shoegaze, punk, and 60's girl-group sounds with beautiful reverb drenched vocals.
features three self recorded tracks of lo-fi goodness.






PINK REASON- "Winona" 7" (WOODSIST014) ----> $7.00ppd- back in stock!

"During a show with hardcore punks Hatefuck, DeBroux and company
traveled to Winona, Minnesota. After a five-hour drive to the town,
wasted locals, angry punks and gnarled three-legged dogs greeted them
by leading them into a commandeered park. Inside the park, DeBroux
found "the ultimate punk rock experience" with townies huffing rubber
glue and mohawk-brandishing kids starting fights with crusties. The
show ended and the locals gave the band three dollars for their
troubles. A few kids asked DeBroux and company to chip in the three
dollars on a keg. Soon, the crowd dispersed and left the band with no
money or place to stay. The band wound up sleeping on an island
between Minnesota and Wisconsin and breaking up soon thereafter. He
wrote the first Pink Reason song, "Winona," about this experience." -
Steve Kobak from Blastitude #25 -3rd press, 300 on blue vinyl







Christian Family Underground- "For the Depth of Your Union" LP (WOODSIST008)------->$12ppd

Summer 06 Family Underground (DK) recorded with Dave Nuss of NNCK at Black Dirt Studios in the woods of upstate NY. The yield was as characteristically unhinged as one might expect: sweeping electronic sounds backed with wood and bone percussion spirit-conjure. However also harvested was some new and especially tasty crop: sung and spoken song, electric guitar/conga rock, and an odd ghostly sheen coating the entire proceeding. Nuss comments on the session: I remember when we were recording, momentarily leaving the studio and going out into the night and feeling it thicken like a partition separating us from this intense state of clear consciousness we had in the recording, which was like humankinds natural state. And then thinking about Jesper from FU, an adopted Vietnamese living in DK, and how much he resembles Michael Jackson, and realizing that across continents no man can be divided from himself. We had to make this music to provide for us some fantasy of fulfillment that would carry us through the weekend like rejuvenated suns born again climbing to heaven, after being washed in the deepest bluest sea.

Jana Hunter- "Carrion"- one sided 12" ep limited to 500 ---->$12ppd
***Half of the six songs on Jana Hunters Carrion are unreleased hangers-on from the writing sessions that produced her most recent full-length, Theres No Home, while the other half are alternate renditions of works that appeared on that release. But this is no mere grab bag of remnants; its a real tight product, all around.
Paint A Babe is a throw-back to Hunters earlier material, written and recorded simultaneously on a borrowed four-track recorder. A real sad, longing song. A Goblin, A Goblin took a little more time to create: this strong, sturdy number, replete with violins and creepy harmony, tells the tale of an indignant outcast. You Will Take It and Like It, turns one central, pretty and proud guitar part over and over and over, with others mirroring it, leeching from it, grabbing on like little parasitic danglers. The original version of Theres No Home is here, the track that spawned an entire record title, followed by Sleep (titled, as it was originally, Ooh Uuh), from the recording that ended up on a lullaby compilation. Concluding Carrion is an acoustic re-presentation of the country-minded Oracle, stripped down to one guitar, one melody, and one harmony, as it was originally conceived in its creation as homage. CD on Gnomonsong






NIGHT WOUNDS- "Allergic to Heat" LP- --------> $15ppd

recorded in early 2006 in a downtown LA practice space by the band. 8 songs just shy of 30 minutes, mostly recorded live.
Everything from angular post punk to primitive no wave and free experimentation, rarely covering the same ground twice.
limited to 500 on black vinyl with silk screened covers.
