THIS WEEK ONLY

Polvo – In Prism Awesome new album from this east coast band. Mathy noodley guitar work with a powerful rythym section behind. First album in twelve years!! Great for fans of later Fugazi, Archers of Loaf, heavy jam rock. Check out ‘Beggars Bowl’ on Pitchfork.com

Modest Mouse – Interstate 8 Uber rare Ep from MM. Five early tracks of vintage sounds. But the real bonus is a six song ep hidden on the end. Recorded by Isaac Brock in his garage. Modest Beginnings, indeed.

The Beatles – Remasters Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band Well I wasapprehensive about this reissues series but the proof is in the pudding. AND they are stunning. Flat out. The real proof to is the last two songs on this absolutely art-tastic LP. The theme song reprise that rocks into the goosebump inducing epic – A Day in the Life. Inspiring.

PIXIES – Doolittle I’m going to see them in Nov. play this album all the way through so it has to make an appearance. I believe the term is re-obsessing??

Massive Moth – Heavy Hand of Whimsy A new local release and long anticipated too. Cooler than school tunes that wind around. Somehow this record is light pop and keeps the low end pounding probably thanks to the shirtless wonder that is Dug Hoffman.

Welcome to the Ranch Records blog!

It has finally happened. Someone went and created a website for everybody’s favorite independent record store. Now you have a link to send your out of state friends to explain how awesome Ranch really is!

If you didn’t realize it, there are actually three Ranch Records locations. You can see photos and find directions to each in the handy, dandy location section. The staff page has some photos and information on all your record idols.

Coming soon there will be a historic account of Ranch Records’ epic rise. Eventually you will also be able to buy from Ranch online through this very site.

And, of course there’s the blog. Stay tuned for updates on new releases, recommendations from the gurus behind the counter, posts on local music and a lot more. Should be exciting!
