TSIGOTI
"(Yes) The Border Crossed Us"
From ESP-Disk:
“(Yes) The Border Crossed Us,” the second single from Italian avant-punk gang TSIGOTI’s ESP-Disk Debut, Private Poverty to the Power People, is an exercise in political debauchery and a forward vocal delivery of self-restraint from Thollem Mcdonas that comes a-swingin’ right out of the gate. Behind this lies the wirey, convulsive guitars of mastermind Matteo Bennici that become the driving force of this quasi-punk anthem, while the rhythm section spends time deconstructing things down into No-Wave-esque breakdowns and pummeling, fluid drumming.

Dam-Funk
"Speak The Truth"
The 5LP box set for Dam-Funk's Toeachizown is finally available through Stones Throw. Apparently, the set was delayed due to "a manufacturing issue" beyond the label's control. Dam-Funk is offering this unreleased track as a present to those who were waiting for the set (as if 5LPs of material wasn't enough).
