This fall, Dischord will release Real Lessons in Cynicism, the second full-length album by Washington, DC’s Soccer Team.

Originally a duo featuring Ryan Nelson (Most Secret Method, Beauty Pill) and Melissa Quinley, the band has since expanded to include drummer Dennis Kane and multi-instrumentalist, Jason Hutto (The Aquarium). The record includes 14 songs that were recorded live in a basement to a Tascam 388 tape machine and then mixed using a computer.

Fountainsun Music Today

Music Today is the debut record by Fountainsun, a duo featuring Daniel Higgs (Lungfish) and Fumie Ishii. Recorded last year in Big Sur, California, the record collects 11 songs – some drawing on simple folk melodies, others guided by Higgs’ epic poetry. Music Today is surreal and heady, but surprisingly intimate. This version of the record has been pressed on translucent green vinyl.

V/A Pre-Moon Syndrome

Originally released in 1989, this record compiles live tracks recorded during the week-long Pre-Moon Syndrome concert series, which took place at DC Space in September of that same year. The LP includes contributions from Lungfish, Velocity Girl, Go Team, Whorl, Unrest, among others. A portion of the proceeds from each sale will benefit We Are Family DC.
