>UNSOLVED MYSTERIES LISTENING PARTY / UNSEENPRESS GHOST WALK! FRIDAY, 22 JUNE 2018 8:00PM Join us here at LUNA music for a listening party of the Unsolved Mysteries soundtrack! Not just that, but if you come to the shop and pre-order the new LP, you will automatically be signed up for a ghost walk here in our city FREE OF CHARGE.
Terror Vision Records presents the first ever release of the Unsolved Mysteries broadcast soundtrack! This release contains the music written for the ghost related segments of the show as well as the iconic theme music.
This single LP has been curated and produced by Ryan Graveface (Casket Girls, Dreamend) and all of the music is sourced from the original tapes. If you’re unfamiliar with the show, Unsolved Mysteries is one of the longest running programs in television and the inspiration for dozens of imitators. It is also one of the first television shows with an audience interactive call-to-action requesting viewer tips to help solve actual cases. Each episode consists of five segments profiling real-life mysteries and an update of a case which has been solved, thanks to a viewer tip. The segments are drawn from a variety of several different categories: Murder, Missing Persons, Wanted Fugitives, UFOs, Ghosts, The Unexplained (Paranormal), Missing Heirs, Amnesia, Fraud, among others.
In collaboration, Unseenpress.com, Inc. - Historic Indiana Ghost Walks & Tours will be following up the listening party with their Chilling Chatham Arch Lockerbie ghost walk at 9 pm! We only have 10 free spots available for this tour (if you would like to bring a +1 or join the tour, there is a $10 dollar admission)! Don't miss out and come secure your spot on the tour by pre-ordering at the shop! If you would like to book your spot in advance, you can do so HERE!

the LUNA pick(s)-of-the-moment...
>KEVIN KRAUTER - Toss Up (Clear Green Edition Vinyl) LP "Useful Solitude" is the phrase Kevin Krauter uses to describe Toss Up, his upcoming full-length debut on Bayonet Records - both the conditions in which it was created and the prevailing theme of these nine iridescent indie-pop songs. In between tours the Indiana musician spent long hours in his basement, guitars and vintage keyboards his only company, and tested out ideas, explored new sonic avenues, savored new sounds, and taught himself how to play a few instruments.
'Toss Up' builds on the sonic worlds of Krauter's first releases, conveying a similar mood with a greater array of instruments and influences. An insightful songwri'er with a lyrical style that is both economical and evocative, Krauter crafts unique soundscapes that scramble a range of influences - '60s flower pop, 70s easy listening, '80s New Wave, '90s alt-radio, '00s indie rock. The secret tension on Toss Up, the engine that drives these songs: melody propelled by rhythm, melancholy fended off by the exuberance of simply creating art. Pressed on clear green vinyl!

>ROLLING BLACKOUTS COASTAL FEVER - Hope Downs ("Loser" Blue Edition Vinyl) LP The first full length from fuzz rockers Rolling Blackout C.F. Their last EPs are some of our favs here at the shop and we are definitely stoked on what this LP might bring to the table... "Loser" edition on blue vinyl! Per "loser" tradition, these are limited!
>Melodies Echo Chamber – Bon Voyage CD/LP (Fat Possum) Made up of seven expansive tracks, Melody's Echo Chamber’s second album marries Melody Prochet's breathless soprano to the wildest sonic excursions, always pinned to an emphatic, clattering groove as she delivers her fables of spiritual search and emotional healing in multiple tongues (French, English and Swedish).
>PROTOMARTYR - Consolation (Indie Exclusive Yellow Edition Vinyl) EP Following their critically acclaimed Domino debut “RELATIVES IN DESCENT”, the band is happy to announce a four song EP of brand new material recorded in collaboration with KELLEY DEAL (The Breeders) and MIKE MONTGOMERY (R.Ring, Ampline).

>Dave Matthews – Under The Table And Dreaming [Reissue/1994] 2xLP (RCA) Dave Matthews Band's 1994 major label debut Under The Table And Dreaming introduced the Virginia-based quintet to a national audience with an alternative, folk-tinged approach to pop/rock music that resonated in a post-grunge world. Back in-print on vinyl.
>Mazzy Star – Still 12” (Rhymes Of An Hour) Mazzy Star, the ethereal co-writing duopoly of guitarist David Roback and husky-voiced Hope Sandoval, returns with a new EP, their first release since 2013's Seasons of Your Day and the death of longtime drummer Keith Mitchell.
>ERIC'S TRIP - Forever Again (Black Edition Vinyl) LP Forever Again is the band’s second full-length, and their follow-up to their Sub Pop debut, 1993’s Love Tara. It was recorded in 1994 at guitarist Rick White’s home studio, Stereo Mountain. It has been out of print on vinyl since its original, 1994 pressing.
>LOW - DOUBLE NEGATIVE (CLEAR Vinyl LOSER Edition) LP In 2018, Low will turn twenty-five. Since 1993, Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker—the married couple whose heaven-and-earth harmonies have always held the band’s center—have pioneered a subgenre, shrugged off its strictures, recorded a Christmas classic, become a magnetic onstage force, and emerged as one of music’s most steadfast and vital vehicles for pulling light from our darkest emotional recesses. But Low will not commemorate its first quarter-century with mawkish nostalgia or safe runs through songbook favorites. Instead, in faithfully defiant fashion, Low will release its most brazen, abrasive (and, paradoxically, most empowering) album ever: 'Double Negative,' an unflinching eleven-song quest through snarling static and shattering beats that somehow culminates in the brightest pop song of Low’s career.
Out 14 SEPTEMBER 2018.
>MADONNA - Like A Virgin (Solid White Vinyl Edition) LP Released in 1984, "Like A Virgin" is Madonna’s highly successful sophomore album. Produced by Nile Rodgers, the album features the classics 'Material Girl' and 'Like A Virgin.'
Part of Rhino's "Back To The 80s" series, this album is pressed on solid white vinyl!
>DIRTY PROJECTORS - Lamp Lit Prose (Indie Exclusive Red or Blue Edition Vinyl) LP 'Lamp Lit Prose’ arrives just over a year after 2017’s self-titled ‘Dirty Projectors.’ Here David Longstreth’s band returns with a new album that is the yang to the yin of the 2017 effort. The songs signal a page turned for Longstreth: hope instead of heartbreak, a restorative balance. Guitars have returned to the Dirty Projectors’ world,intricate and gorgeous vocal harmony too. The album begins with “Right Now,” David singing, “there was silence in my heart, but now I’m striking up the band.” In addition to the core musicians and guests, LA string group the Calder Quartet, and The Brass Players of Los Angeles both appear on several songs. ‘Lamp Lit Prose’ is a recommitment to the sounds and ideals of Dirty Projectors, embracing the band’s trademarks while pushing forward the sonic envelope. Lamp Lit Prose will be the ninth release for Dirty Projectors and comes with collaborations from HAIM, Syd, Robin Pecknold, Rostam Batmanglij, Amber Mark, Empress Of and Dear Nora. Lamp Lit Prose was recorded at Ivo Shandor in Los Angeles. >>This indie exclusive version comes in either red or blue vinyl (random chance)! out 13 JULY 2018...

>ESSEX GREEN - Hardly Electronic (Opaque Red + Translucent Orange Swirl Peak Edition Vinyl) LP "Hardly Electronic" explores the evolution of old friendships, the sadness of losing touch, the inadequacies of technology, and finally, the desire for reconnection with songs like “Bye Bye Crow” and “Slanted by Six.” Themes of connectivity for the online generation are on display in the war cry chorus of “Don’t Leave It in Our Hands,” while songs like “Bristol Sky” and “January Says” hint at how the same technology-connected culture can create division and distance, even in the most personal of relationships. On the flip side, the wonders of technology (and jumbo jets) made the recording possible. With Bell living in Montana, Ziter in Vermont, and Baron on the river, finding ways to work together was challenging. The result is classic Essex Green sonic diversity. >Peak Vinyl Edition:
Limited-edition, indie-only single LP on opaque red + translucent orange swirl vinyl. Includes coupon for full download! out 29 JUNE 2018...
>THIS HEAT - Live 80-81 (Indie Exclusive Soft Baby Blue Edition Vinyl) LP Formed in 1976 in Brixton, a multicultural, and – at the time – down-at-heel part of south London, This Heat were born into a music scene in rapid flux, first thanks to the punk explosion and then via new wave and its myriad offshoots into pop, rock and art-rock. But while many sought to apply punk attitude to chart-friendly sounds, This Heat were concocting some of the most experimental ideas ever committed to tape, taking influence from musique concrète, krautrock, the burgeoning industrial scene and even the dub reggae blasting out in their home borough. Indie exclusive soft baby blue vinyl limited to only 500 copies! out 03 AUGUST 2018...
