NEWS UPDATE: June 13th, 2025

Hi Everyone!

It's Mark writing. Our intital batch of U.S. MAPLE "Long Hair In Three Stages" LPs have arrived and the earliest pre-orders are going out now. The balance of the LPs are expected by early next month, so we'll resume sending pre-orders out in the order they were received as soon as we can. The Ultimate Edition bundles with the CDs are all spoken for, but I can confirm that we will include the giant-size OBI / Lyric Sheet with orders for the stand-alone LP for the time being. Thanks for being there for us!.

Hi Everyone!

It's Mark writing. I just got back from the first show of KOENJIHYAKKEI's European tour here in Vienna and I can't find the words to tell you how fantastic it was! SKiN GRAFT has been working with KOENJIHYAKKEI for over 20 years now and my relationship with Tatsuya Yoshida goes back even further than that, but this was the first time I got to meet the rest of the band and see them play. The tour dates are below. If you have any chance to see them perform - this very well may be your once in a lifetime opportunity (or in my case, once in 20+ years). Don't miss it.

CHEER-ACCIDENT Announce Tour and Their Best Album
  "Admission" out June 27th, 2025

From Cheer-Accident's liner notes:
It’s weird to have so few words to say about our best album to date, but… well…

Our Best Album? Out of 26?
That’s not nothing.

What makes it “our best?” Is it the songs? Is it the production? Is it the convergence of those two elements? What if... (continued at link)

U.S. MAPLE's "Long Hair In Three Stages" Returns June 13th
Cliff Notes: U.S. Maple's first album, before they fell all apart on "Sang Phat Editor". This is the album that "rocks". Disjointed machinations, poppy locksteps and jarring sideways excursions - all leading down a path to nowhere's-ville. Engineered by Jim O'Rourke with a cold.... (continued at link)
