Mailorder during summer
During summer and until mid August, our otherwise quick mailorder service will at certain times be a bit slower. But we will ship at least once a week.
In mid August we will release "A Killer For That Ache" by brilliant singer and songwriter Hilde Marie Kjersem, to be followed later in the year by new releases from MoHa!, Huntsville (with some very special guests), Susanna (solo) and Humcrush (live). We also plan to finally release "Money Will Ruin Everything 2". More information later.
Elephant9 available now + MoHa! 7" single
The debut album fom this great new trio is now available to order on CD and ltd edition LP (fantastic gatefold sleeve and white vinyl).
We are also rushreleasing our first ever 7" vinyl single in time for MoHa!´s 12 date UK tour, see Tours section for details. Containing two brand new songs it´s a taster of what their next album, due out in September, will sound like, but they will not appear on the album. 500 copies are pressed on white vinyl and only 300 are made available for regular sales here and through our distributors. We will open it for sales on Tuesday 27, so if you want both this and the Elephant9 vinyl there´s postage to be saved if you wait until then.

Motorpsycho Collectors Offer and Limited Multicolour Vinyl available now!
We have pressed up 500 copies with so called multicolour splatter vinyl. Because of the way these are produced each vinyl record is unique. The cover is the same as with the black vinyl version, 350 g cardboard and black inner sleeves. We will not re-press this edition. Needless to say, this edition is a real collectors gem and it might be a good idea not to dwell too long! We have an even more limited T-shirt that you can buy in a bundle with the vinyl at a reduced price. The T-shirt is also available individually.
New Scorch Trio album available now!
Both cd and vinyl editions can be ordered from this site now. This is NOT the live album previously announced and presented on Runeology 3, but a spanking new and thrilling studio recording.

You can now order the CD edition here.
Shining vinyl and Motorpsycho vinyl pre-order
You can now order the limited (500 only) double Shining vinyl edition and pre-order the Motorpsycho double vinyl edition. As you know, those double vinyls are heavy and postage is high. By shipping these two editions in the same package the postage will be the same as sending only one, meaning there´s plenty to save. If you don´t mind waiting a little for the Shining vinyl, we will ship both so that you receive them around the time of the German Motorpsycho release on 28. March. Your payment will be reserved but not charged until we ship.
We are not taking pre-orders on the Motorpsycho cd but will make it available for order so that you will receive it by 28. March or thereabout.
Motorpsycho teaser
Have enjoyed myself reading comments about the new album on the net. We´re happy to inform you that "Little Lucid Moments" is classic Motorpsycho. Epic and energetic with a live feel and yes, no need to worry, it rocks! No additional musicians, the playing is great and excellent new drummer boy Kenneth Kapstad has lifted them to a new level, we kid you not. And Kim has done a mighty fine job with the sleeve, wait til you see the inside gatefold. Speaking of gatefold, the double vinyl edition comes with 180 g vinyl and 350 g extra thick cardboard. Happy so far?
