Stoners now have a reason to act hyperactive in their hazy splendor, as the four of these men are what make up Shrinebuilder, who just released their self-titled debut album on Neurot Recordings. The CD has been out for a few weeks, but the double vinyl was released yesterday, so hunt it down and scare your neighbors.

“Pyramid Of The Moon” (Free Mp3 Download, 6.9mb)

I discovered this on Twitter, a blog simply called Curtis Collects Vinyl Records, over at Blogspot. It’s by a music fan named Curtis Linder, who simply loves records and wants to share his discoveries with readers. Some of them may be dollar bin gems, but the fun of going through the crates is to discover things you’ve never seen or heard.

This league is human, but they’re a noise bunch that happen to be silent. Yeah I know, hurry up with it. They’re called The Silent League, a band founded by Justin Russo when he was sitting in with Mercury Rev on keyboards. Today, The Silent League are as big as the Chicago Transit Authority, with seven members strong, and they’re about to prove how strong they are with the release of the cleverly titled album …but you’ve always been the caretaker, on the cleverly titled label Something In Construction. Their sound mixes up some of the analog synth sounds of the 70’s, mixes it in with the modern music twists and a love for infectious pop, and you’ll be able to sense what they’re trying to come up with. People like Prince, Weezer, Todd Rundgren, and P. Willy Mungmung would be most welcome into their ffurth. People who have been looking for pop music to be properly fingered again will fall in love with the scissors techniques of The Silent League.

When the album is released, the hard copy will come with a second CD featuring remixes (including the Neon Indian Remix of “Here’s A Star” (7.5mb), instrumentals, and covers of songs by Electric Light Orchestra (one of their primary influences) and Alicia Keys.

If can’t wait another two months, the album was released a month ago in the UK, and you can purchase it through Rough Trade.

For a limited time, you can buy The Bends by Radiohead for $2.99 at Amazon.com. This is a digital download, so take advantage.
