LABRYYYNTH: THE BAND

We are so excited to present the new recording project from members of Golden Boots and Dr. Dog. 

Lathe Cut: Right now, we have a lathe cut single for the song "Wrecking Ball", which is a completely different recording/feeling than the one that ended up on the Album. This lathe cut will be a split release with Burger Records, and is limited to 50 copies.  They will uniquely psychedelicly marble painted.  HERE

LABRYYYNTH: LABRYYYNTH: This is the incredible debut from LABRYYYNTH.  It will be available digitally on all Digital Retailers on Nov. 2nd, as well as on cassette from Burger Records and PIAPTK.  Sometime in December, the LP will be available in unique 70s Taiwanese-style-bootleg packaging (guaranteed you don't have a modern record in packaging like this) from PIAPTK, Bleeding Gold, and Gray Sky Records. HERE

LABRYYYNTH: The T-Shirt - Just for giggles we made up about a dozen DIY style shirts. They are weird and very limited. HERE

LABRYYYNTH: The Postcard - LABRYYYNTH has contributed an exclusive track to our buddies at Folktale Records for their Musical Postcard Series. Get a new hand made postcard in the mail with a free digital single, every month.  Subscribe here (and check out the rest of Folktale's amazing stuff). 

WOODEN WAND: PIAPTK SINGLES 2006-2014

A Cassette Store 2014 Release! Wooden Wand and PIAPTK go back a long time, and we've released some really great records together.  Many of those were weird singles that went out of print almost instantly.  This cassette tape contains every track Wand has released on a PIAPTK single between 2006 and September of 2014. Ltd edition of 100. HERE

AMERICAN MONOXIDE's IN "FLIGHT MODE":

The solo project of Dimitri Manos (Dr. Dog, Golden Boots, LABRYYYNTH), American Monoxide is the unfettered freakiness of Dimitri's pop genius with no boundries imposed by other band members.  Recorded in a couple of weeks in his home studio, In Flight Mode is a fractured pop masterpiece.  Available to stream for a very limited time: https://soundcloud.com/americanmonoxide/sets/american-monoxides-in-flight-mode

Available on Cassette or CD, each disc comes wrapped inside of a beautiful American Monoxide Shop Rag (made by Shot By A Fan's Richard Santos).  HERE

SOILD GOLD T-SHIRTS

The Great Soild Gold T-Shirt Crapshoot!

We bought a bunch of random colored T-shirts and put random color Ink on them.  This is a very motley crew of T's... Some are new, some are gently used, some are pretty standard, some are sorta freaky, some are light, some are dark, some look pro, some look pretty janky.

Every one is different, so we can't list them all individually. You must be willing to let go of your desire to be in control of your own t-shirt destiny. Surrender yourself and your wardrobe fully to the whims of benevolent mail order man. You may feel free to request a color or simply light/bright/dark, but ultimately, your fate will be up to the mood of the all-powerful merch maven.  HERE

KEITH JOHN ADAMS: ROUGHHOUSING LP

The fantastic new album from our favorite British BBC correspondent, Keith John Adams. Roughhousing is another LP crammed full of clever and witty pop gems from the best London tourguide I've ever had the pleasure to be guided by. 

Get a free download of the Double A Side single, Music in my Feet here: http://keithjohnadams.bandcamp.com/album/music-in-my-feet-no-room-double-a-side

This is a co-release from Red Wig Records (Amsterdam), Vacilando '68 (London, who have released great records from our Tucson via France buddies, Naim Amor and Marianne Dissard), and PIAPTK's bosom buddy record label slash book publisher, Gray Sky Micro Press. HERE

LAST CHANCE SECTION:

Over the last few months we have been slowly and quietly selling out of several titles.  And, there are quite a few more that we are almost out of, so I've started a new section of the website called "LAST CHANCE" that tags all the items that are down to 15 or less copies.  Just so that you are warned.  Also, this is your last chance to buy MP3 copies of most of the other releases that are out of print in physical format.  Within the next week, I will be moving all of those releases to the OUT OF PRINT DISCOGRAPHY section of the site, and they will no longer be available digitally.

ARCHIVES SUPER SALE!

Every once in a while, we have a new, very expensive project looming, and don't 

have the cash to invest, and we are forced to dig deep into the PIAPTK Vaults 

and pull some of the rarities out of our personal archives. This time we dug deep, 

because we NEED funding. Tons of test pressings and long OOP releases, including 

some from my personal collection.  Click on the OOP/Test Pressings button to the left

USPS sends International shipping prices through the roof!!

Well, as if it wasn't already too damn expensive for International buyers to buy records from the US, now the USPS has raised international shipping prices by 35%!  Which means, we, unfortunately, have to raise the prices to you. This sucks for the both of us, but I hope you understand. But, remember, that the more records you buy, the cheaper it gets per record... if that's any consolation (I'm sure it isn't...)

MEGA SALE! RSTVMO, Fur Family, and Keith John Adams!

3. Fur Family - Musk Ox Lathe Cut 7" - A three song single from Tucson up-and-comers, Fur Family.  Closely related to PIAPTK favorites Golden Boots, Fur Family consists of former Golden Boots bassist, Sean Rogers, writing the tunes and playing guitars, with musical assistance from the Golden Boots core of Rian Eggleston and Dmitri Manos (also of Dr. Dog).   Clear, square lathe cut 7"s in covers printed and silkscreened by the band.  Ltd Ed of 50. Pick it up here: http://piaptk.limitedrun.com/bands/golden-boots/products

4. Keith John Adams - Change/Sparrow Lathe Cut 7" Single - A new single from our favorite BBC TV reporter, and old friend, Keith John Adams. Having taken it easy over the last couple years busy with his day job and daddyhood, KJA finally sends us in the US some new tunes... Probably the first and last time PIAPTK will ever release anything even remotely resembling a Ska song (did you know that I played Moog for a month in a ska band in college? don't tell anyone).  But despite the horns, this song is pretty awesome. Check out the video if you don't believe me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?

The covers were letterpressed on onion skin vellum.  What I didn't realize, being the first time that I letterpressed onto onion skin vellum, is that letterpress ink doesn't dry well on onion skin vellum, and despite letting it dry for three days, they ink still got all smudgy and weird. But, most of them actually look kind of cool, so Keith and I decided to use them.  You like stuff that is handmade, right? Even if it is by screw-ups trying something a little different?

50 copies on square, clear, lathe cut polycarbonate.

5. New Free Golden Boots Digital Sampler! - A Brand NEW (as of Sept 2012) Sampler from Tucson alt-alt-country-psychicana-freak-pop-savants, The Golden Boots.  A handful of tracks culled from recent albums, with a few rarities thrown in for those already familiar with "the hits". 

Pick up the FREE Sampler here: http://piaptk.limitedrun.com/bands/golden-boots/products

Vinyl and some digital available from PIAPTK.com, and ALL digital albums are available at: GoldenBoots.Bandcamp.com
