Here's the third installment of Sofa Records' Disco Single series! Featuring four standout tracks from Algeria's 1980s music scene, this collection showcases the cultural diversity and creativity of the country. Listen here. Galouli Enshara (a1) and Zourini (b1) are two captivating pop-boogie-funk tracks by Khaled Barkat, a self-taught multi-instrumentalist from Algiers. Produced by Khaled himself in 1983, and recorded at the esteemed brothers Torki’s studio in Algiers along with his friends—and talented musicians —Yazid Fentazi, Redouane Ayoub, Mustapha Mekerkeband Mhenni Benlala. The album, if he had a certain success (Khaled Barkat is considered as a pop music iconin his country)was somewhat overshadowed by the popularity of other genres in Algeria, such as raï music. We're thrilled to put if for the first time on vinyl! And spread this music to a wider audience. Dub El Hammam (a2) is by raï vocalist Cheb Tati, hailing from Oran. In the 1980s, as raï gained recognition in the global music industry, Tati was brought to London in 1989 to record an album with reggae/dub producer Denis Bovell. Among other tracks, this heavy, top-notch 1980s digital dub track resulted from their collaboration. Last but not least, the final track on the single is sourced from the only known recording of Asif, a Kabyle band from Lille formed by three brothers. The band was created in the late 1970s, and the selected track, Tafsut (b2), was recorded in 1985. A beautiful pop-boogie tune that we considered a marvelous conclusion to this single. This record was made in collaboration with Les Disques Bongo Joe. All tracks are fully licensed.

We're proud to announce that Trapped Animal will be releasing the new album by Cormorant Tree Oh, Moonish! On 180 GSM Clear Vinyl with artwork illustrated by CTO. Since CTO's 2022 sophomore album, Swoontide, Mary has found herself supporting Lankum at Vicar Street, gracing a cover CD of Uncut, picking up new fans from all over the world. She will be performing songs from Moonish at this year's Quiet Lights Festival (w/e Nov 21) in Ireland and on December 7th in London at The Lexington.

Cormorant Tree Oh often gets labelled as folk horror and whilst there are still spooky elements, this album veers into new territory. With heavy use of drones and new instrumentation. Music tends to come out of CTO weirdly regardless of her intentions, so her innate oddness still shines through.. and this album embodies that oddness and beauty.

First single, Terror Of The Countryside, opens with a frivolous sounding catchy riff, until the dark drones of Terror drop in on the listener like a roar from a John Carpenter movie. The song moves with a dark, ominous groove that has become CTO’s trademark. Something about this new recording shows a maturity and confidence that has always been present in her previous work… but owns the tape it is pressed to in a new way. Terror is the opening track from Moonish, and like all great set ups, it embodies the tracks to follow.

How would you define The Wild Feathers? Some may immediately check a box for Americana – and they wouldn’t be wrong. Others may lean on a version of rock: Country-rock, folk-rock, heartland rock. They’d all be right, too. Blues? A Southern flare? Occasional punk attitude? It’s all in there. Now, it’s time to hop on the bus and sing along.

The longtime Nashville band returns this year with Sirens, a new LP of road-worn, sharply-woven tales chronicling a life worth living, love worth holding and the hard-earned lessons found along the ride. To cut the follow-up to 2021 album Alvarado – the band’s debut on independent label New West Records – The Wild Feathers decamped from Music City, U.S.A., to Los Angeles for sessions with producer Shooter Jennings (known for his work with Brandi Carlile, Turnpike Troubadours and Tanya Tucker, among others) at Dave’s Room in North Hollywood.

Listen intently and without genre in mind. Because when the so-called Sirens make their sound on this new album, don’t worry about how to define it. Just enjoy the ride.

This is my latest album, about 40 straight minutes of acoustic guitar. All originals, live takes, and no overdubs. Filmmaker and Journalist Bill Lichtenstein told me that it ‘sounds like Mississippi Fred McDowell.’ On the last track my friend Isabel plays a tanpura that I had just acquired a few days before from an old acquaintance of John Fahey’s in Takoma Park.”—Ethan WL

For Greg Mendez, reflection doesnüft mean a static imagein a mirror, or even a face he recognizes. Itüfs more akaleidoscopic mirage, where paths taken shapeshift withthe prospect of paths untread, and the subconsciousmerges with the intentional. On his self-titled new album,the Philadelphia-based songwriter andmulti-instrumentalist investigates the shaky camera ofmemory, striving to carve out a collage that points to atruth. But there isnüft a regimented actuality here; instead,Mendez highlights the merit in many truths, and manylives, and how even the hardest truths can still containsome humor.While this is technically Mendezüfs third full-length album,his back catalog boasts an extensive range of EPs and liverecordings. Heüfs a prolific and thoughtful songwriter,understanding the joy in impulse, and shying away fromthe clinical sheen of overproduction. 2017üfs ügüP/ _(c)_ /üPüh and2020üfs Cherry Hell garnered acclaim for their quiet, lo-fiurgency, exploring themes of addiction and heartbreakwith an intentional, authentic haze, and itüfs this approachthat has solidified Mendez as a staple in the DIYcommunity for years.Greg Mendez was written in fragments, some stretchingacross more than a decade, with Mendez reworking oldideas and arrangements, and others blossoming muchmore recently. The weight of time..and perhaps theanxiety in running out of it..clouds the album, as Mendezprods at some painful experiences from his childhood andearly adulthood. The common thread connecting thecharacters is their evident imperfections, and the variousdegrees of damage they cause, both knowingly andunknowingly. But where do we draw the line between agood person and a bad person? For Mendez, itüfs neverbeen that easy.Greg Mendez is an intimate dialogue between thechapters weüfve experienced, and how they can inform thereality we perceive. Itüfs a reminder that we are constantlyshifting, ever-changing selves and that if we ruminate toolong, we may find...

Why you'll love it...
There are a lot of important records in this world, but what you hold in your hands is nothing less than the blueprint for outlaw country music. Old Five and Dimers Like Me is also the semi-secret classic that marked the debut of a true Texas legend. In 1960s and ‘70s Nashville, there was the commercial boom brought on by the “Countrypolitan” sound, those lush strings and angel choirs. And then there was the opposition party. It arrived in a pick-up truck and denim, and Billy Joe Shaver occupied the corner office.

"Mabsouta" is a game changing Arabic cover version of a track that stayed in a generation's childhood memories - Tom's Dinner by Suzanne Vega.
