Verma - Sunrunner CD and LP
The swirling, layered loops of Johnny Caluya's guitar mesh seamlessly with the interstellar drones and throbs ebbing from Whitney Johnson's Acetone, but the real secret weapon of "Sunrunner" lies in the rhythm section of bassist Rob Goerke and drummer Zach Corn's locked-tight grooves that pulse steadily and subtly like all great rhythm sections are supposed to, providing a rubbery backbone that supports the albums' seven tunes. Highly recommended!
Nones and Cretin Stompers have been delayed. They will be 20% off when they arrive!

Ex-Cult - Midnight Passenger LP
The sophomore album from this Memphis five-piece adds a few layers of pyschedelic slime to their sound.

It is instantly apparent to any long time listener of WINDY and CARL that these new tracks show a marked change from the 20 years of dense guitar drones and walls of sound the duo have released.

Split Single - Fragmented World LP
Debut release from an absolute-no-holds-barred-indie-supergroup made up of Britt Daniel (SPOON, DIVINE FITS), Jason Narducy (BOB MOULD, VERBOW, SUPERCHUNK, TELEKINESIS) and drummer/funny man extraordinaire, Mr. Jon Wurster (SUPERCHUNK, MOUNTAIN GOATS, BOB MOULD).

This week, to celebrate Hozac Blackout Fest, we're offering ALL Hozac titles for 20% off! Here are just a few we recommend...
The People's Temple - Musical Garden CD and LP
A collective of songs put together w/ vastly different styles, due to the sheer abundance of material, yet an impressively cohesive arrangement of their always expanding musical strains.
Ruined Fortune - S/T CD and LP
Heavy-glitter/garbage punk moves from members of SOUTHERN COMFORT, BED WETTIN' BAD BOYS, CIRCLE PIT, MODEL CITIZEN, and countless more. An album that has an agenda similar to LIVE, SINGLES, UNRELEASED-era ROYAL TRUX or the first couple of ALTERNATIVE TV records in its love of rock'n'roll while simultaneously aiming for something beyond.
Epicycle - You're Not Gonna Get It: 78-81 CD and LP
Like a snotty bottle rocket shout out of The Damned's dressing room and straight into the gut of Cheap Trick, these sorely underappreciated teen punk pioneers were angry, young, and unstoppable. This comp presents the original punch the band was trying to deliver w/ 3 incredible singles and tracks from their sole LP, along with some pre-razored demos from their earliest sessions.

Hey, guys! Wow! What a weekend! We had another Once In A Lifetime at Comfort Station where we got to see Kaley Cuoco in a fat suit and Caroline Rhea totally pretending to be her aunt for that sweet Lifetime paycheck.

We were celebrating the release of Slushy's new LP and cassette on Grabbing Clouds. You can now purchase that record, plus a few other Grabbing Clouds tapes from saki! Also, we had pizza! PIZZA, you guys!

We're beyond excited to announce that saki is presenting a show with Nat Baldwin and Pillars and Tongues at Constellation on May 29th!

If you purchase any of Nat's or Pillars and Tongues' records we can add you do the guest list while our spots last! Buy a record, see an awesome show for FREE. We are hooking the freak UP.

Each week saki will be offering a handful of new releases for 20% OFF! This week we're offering Silkworm, Jeffertiti's Nile and Sleepyhead!
Silkworm - Libertine LP reissue
Deluxe reissue of their 1994 LP, the 3rd and final full length record as a quartet. Double LP w/ bonus CD. Triple-threat songwriting, 2 cagey guitars circling the drain but never going under, a bassist whose axe looks like an oar and sounds like the metal cable of a suspension bridge, anchored by a drummer clad in little more than gardening gloves whose kick drum is the oversized kind favored by marching bands. All in all, a combination as heady as it was brainy. "Very few bands make even one great album. Silkworm made several, and this is the first." - Steve Albini
Jeffertiti's Nile - The Electric Hour LP
Jeffertitti plays bass in FATHER JOHN MISTY, and in fact, Father Misty plays drums on "The Electric Hour". "Transcendental Space-Punk Doo Wop" was once declared to be the name of this boundless sound, by the authority of Jeffertitti himself.
Sleepyhead - Wild Sometimes LP
1st new release in 15 years! Although born in the post-punk 90s, Sleepyhead has always had a heart that, in part, beats to classic American rock n roll - marrying unpretentious up-tempo tunes to extraordinary harmonized lyrics constructed by mature, but definitely not jaded sensibilities. With founding members Chris O'Rourke (guitar) and Rachael McNally (drums), Sleepyhead had quite the run in the golden age of Indie Rock, and the labels that released their music (Slumberland, Homestead, Sealed Fate) are a Who's Who of that era.
