Hugely Overdue: Asenath Anyox "The Antiquities" LP, and Silvis Records "L" Compilation

 It's Friday the 13th, and we're releasing two very overdue and anticipated albums.

First off, Asenath Anyox's "Antiquities LP."  Development of this album was a 3-year saga resulting in 7 full-length LPs worth of material.   We'll be releasing more info on the process, as it was a real saga, involving stacks of british tube amps, a library of fuzz pedals, restoration of 60s Fender surf guitars, getting ripped off by Devi Ever herself, and a trip to visit My Bloody Valentine.  Gothic, sensual, aggressive shoegaze along the lines of MBV's "Isn't Anything."  



Next, an album that has been listed at spot #50 in the Silvis Records lineup for some time - our "L" (that's Roman numeral 50, people) compilation.  This celebrates our 50th release (even though we are into the 60s), and features 17 different Silvis Records artists.  Although, let's be real.  If you haven't figure it out, all the artists are the same person.  To make it special, we included a cover of MBV's "Soon" by shoegaze band Alder Ashes, from several years ago.  We actually went to the trouble of getting a license to use it from Kevin Shields so that we can share it with the world.  (No joke.)


After being relatively quiet in 2019, we have a ridiculous backlog of music to release over the next few months.  Except to see 3 or more releases per month through spring.
