Sheets of Hits
(Pyramid Scheme) LP $10.50 (Out-of-stock)
Not-totally-French-existentialist Ron House (Great Plains, Thomas Jefferson Slave Apartments, Psandwich) teams up with eater-of-the-free-chicken-of-Bob-Petric Jared Phillips (Times New Viking) to hit all the lo-fi indie-punk buttons of The Columbus Sound — loose, clever, catchy, intense, and wrong. Second edition, with offset printed jackets.
Monosyllabilly
(Pyramid Scheme - PSR002) LP $12.00
The second album-length collaboration by Times New Viking’s Jared Phillips and Ron House of Thomas Jefferson Slave Apts tosses a DIY Dragnet over a belch from an Ohio furnace that most assumed abandoned. The drums are pots and pans, the vocals are pot and pants, always too big for themselves. The lyrics strain to upgrade every downsize of life. No insult is forgotten. Compared to Sheets of Hits (Pyramid Scheme 2013), this one is less lo-fi, more anxious with catchier tics.
