More new releases of note:

Ersatz Audio and Cass Records present a limited edition and hand-numbered split 7", split between ADULT. and The Dirtbombs. Not only does each band cover one of the other's early songs, but photography and distribution is split between the two. Aptly titled split/split/split, look for it in finer records stores or directly through the two lables on June 15th.

Also hitting the streets on June 15th is the all new G.D. Luxxe LP, Between Zero and Eternity, his first release on Ersatz Audio. Unlike the new Rother album [see previous post], Gerhard Potuznik strays away from his earlier electro-pop work in lieu of a rougher, guitar-oriented sound (still kept in check by the rhythm of machines, of course.) "...this new album abounds with aural altercations and 'effected' affections. Revenge, regret, and corruption." It was not at all what I expected form the man who wrote the dreamy pop classic Quiet Life, but I quite enjoy the new direction.
