The Lungfish band as a singular entity continues its slumber. But members Daniel Higgs and Asa Osborne continue to record and perform, perhaps more than ever, both as solo performers and together in Skull Defekts. Higgs latest solo LP release, Beyond & Between, is now available via Barcelona and La Castanya records and is being distributed exclusively in the States by Dischord. The album features Higgs on vocals and banjo, accompanied by percussionist Marc Clos.

Asa's latest Zomes release, Improvisations -- recorded entirely on cassette tape, is being released on January 24th on Thrill Jockey and will be available from Dischord (we are accepting pre-orders now). Both albums are available on LP with MP3 download cards inclosed.

Minutes are a band from Kalamazoo, MI that feature ex-members of Trocar and Dischord's Ryan Nelson (Soccer Team, Beauty Pill, Most Secret Method). The band's Self-titled 12 LP is now available in a limited edition of 300.

Ryan, who is now back running Dischord's mail-order department, has written a more expansive blog post about these and several other new releases that you can find on our Stuff We Sell page.
