LIE 011 LIE 011 VINYL BILL - "What lo-fi" (13 songs) DELETED

Reissue of their first full length. Their debut and already a cracker. These are actually the thirteen reasons why we fell in love with their music when a tape from them first dropped into our mailbox last year.

LIE 012 LIE 012 LETTUCE PREY - "Blood from a stoner witch" (14 songs) DELETED

Lettuce Prey has been around for quite a while now, so we know how good he is with his guitar. Yet, every time he comes up with more of his psych-folk pop we are simply left speechless.

LIE 013 LIE 013 MOONBABIES - "Climbing up these miles" (24 songs) DELETED

The Moonbabies come from Sweden and are destined to become the next big thing. Their breathtaking mixture of pop, folk and techno will blow you away. Check out their previous tape on Tangerine Tapes and their "air>>>moon>>stereo e.p." 7" on Moonkrack Recordings and look out for their debut cd due out soon on Seattle's Duckweed Records.

LIE 014 LIE 014 CALIGARI - "A full moon postcard" (14 songs) DELETED

A fine mixture of contemporary avant-garde mid-fi pop and late 70's/early 80's British new wave. A collection of uptempo tracks with an exotic touch and long, hypnotic psych-tinged epic tunes from the demo tapes released thus far by this fine ensemble out of the Washington, DC area.

LIE 015 LIE 015 SHY RIGHTS MOVEMENT - "Great Western" (14 songs) DELETED

A collection of songs taken from the band's first two cassettes on KAW plus a couple of previously unreleased alternate versions and a brand new track. Fourteen tales of fading hopes and shattered dreams. Songs about love, life and the pain that both of them involve, for the lonesome and disenchanted. Sad and beautiful.

LIE 016 LIE 016 VV/AA - "Beware of the ricochet" (20 songs) DELETED

Featuring: Luminous, Gary K, Nero's Acolytes, 360 Sound, Mugwump, Chrysler, Alien Breed, Devereux, Dakota 45, [astro boy], Reckoning, Idiot Box, My Legendary Girlfriend, Mayumi, Foofie, Longhair, Moonbabies, Delicate Awol, Songdog, Mothburner. Kind of a walk on the wild side, as it features a whole bunch of goth, psych, industrial, electronic, noise, experimental stuff. Far out of our usual standard, so, please, do beware of the ricochet…

LIE 017 LIE 017 VV/AA - "Beware of the ricochet - volume two" (22 songs) DELETED

LIE 019 LIE 019 CLIFF BROWN JR. - "We Are Stardust" (12 songs)

The man everyone in the U.S. underground is raving about is finally on B.K.S. with more of his lo-fi excellence. Sketches of everyday life depicted by minimal folk-pop arrangements that are sometimes slightly countrified, sometimes subtly psych-tinged. Heartfelt and moving, this is pure lo-fi poetry.

LIE 020 LIE 020 A BOY NAMED THOR - "Rocket scientist blues" (9 songs)

With previous releases on Blackbean and Placenta and a 7" due out soon on Motorway, Philly's pop wonder kid Jason Corace kindly gave us the opportunity to bring these old and thus far unavailable recordings to the light of day. Short bits of well-crafted homemade indiepop on one side, two long and spacey instrumentals on the other. Just as brilliant and catchy as you expect it to be.
