Bulli glimmers with an almost-uncomfortable pop sheen, whirring with strutting positivity and rich instrumentation that is at stark odds with the lyrics. Touchstones of leftfield electronic sounds meld with nods to alternative rock, power pop, even tender R&B and deft hip-hop. Its at times frantic and manic, swirling with fragmentary soundscapes, but always pushing forward into somewhere that feels new and vital.

Opium/Interscope

Once again, the Opium label started by Playboi Carti proves they are the future. Destroy Lonelys No Stylist, his debut project with the label and his first project since 2020, lives up to the expectations ten-fold. As required, the release contains enough fashion-related quips to fill up Popeye Magazine, but the real gems are the lively, euphoric beats and airy synths with Lonely matching its breeziness with playful lyrics.

Interscope

JID's highly anticipated sophomore album is a more personal look into his familial life and stories of growing up the last of seven and a student athlete in East Atlanta. JID's nimble, head-nodding lyricism and lightning-fast flow shines through immersive storytelling and thoughtful guest features - all spotlighting his rightful place in rap as one of the greatest in the making.

Electric Fetus/Grimey's Exclusive for Lambchop - the Bible (out now!)

Electric Fetus/Grimey's Exclusive for Lambchop - the Bible (out now!)

Electric Fetus is proud to partner with Merge Records and Grimey's in Nashville to release a limited exclusive AUTOGRAPHED version of Lambchop's newrelease, The Bible.

Our version is a double LP on grey & white marble vinyl housed in same packaging as the standard version. Side D is an etching. Autographed. Ltd to 400 total. Electric Fetus has 150 copies available. Full album download included.

CLICK HERE to order the Electric Fetus/Grimey's 2-LP version of The Bible.

More info on this release:

The story of The Bible begins with Wagner up in the middle of the night during the first year of the plague, watching his new friend from Minneapolis, Andrew Broder, play a Wurlitzer on Instagram Live. Broder was one in a group of Minneapolis musicians Wagner had met prior to the pandemic through mutual friend Justin Vernon (Bon Iver). After watching the livestream, he called Broder up. Dude, Ill get you in a studio, he says, you just go in there for like three or four hours and do your thing. Broder sent him back twelve 20 minute-long pieces. And then Wagner found himself in Minneapolis, in the sweltering summer of 2021, in a decommissioned paint factory turned practice space. Wagner would find an immediate musical spark with Broder & his musical partner Ryan Olson (Gayngs, contributor to Taylor Swift's Evermore). Olson contributes greatly to the album, both with arrangements & production. Ryan and Andrew, theyre like two sides of my personality, Wagner says. And if you put them together as a team, they represent me. Good thing, because this would be the first time Wagner let somebody elsepeople who werent even from Nashvilleproduce a Lambchop record.

The music on The Bible is more unpredictable than its ever been on a Lambchop record. Jazz careening into country, into disco, into funk, and back to country. All tied together with Wagners own voice, born from a perspective on his own life inspired by taking care of his father at the end of his life. The sounds all jumbled together with snatches of observations, words torn from the headlines in Minneapolisbumper stickers on the freeway, or graffiti from outside that decommissioned paint factory. Through the weeks, musicians (local & non-local) would come & go, putting their own thumbprints on this bible. Perhaps most strikingly, contributions from two different vocal choirs (Bells of the Lakes & Lutheran Bells) & gorgeous string arrangements courtesy of yMusic co-founder C.J. Camerieri (who has also arranged strings for Sufjan Stevens, Antony & the Johnsons & The National).

Dosh In-store Performance and Signing

Dosh In-store Performance and Signing

Friday, October 21st - 5:00 p.m.

Electric Fetus welcomes Dosh back to the store to celebrate the release of his new album, Tomorrow 1972, on Friday, October 21st at 5:00 p.m.

Following his performance, Dosh will sign copies of Tomorrow 1972 on vinyl. (limited run of 300 copies)This event is free and open to all ages.

The paradoxical title of Doshs new album, Tomorrow 1972,distills the exploratory rootedness central to the producer and performers aesthetic. Like everything Dosh has put out since coming to prominence as a pioneer of loop-based multigenre multi-instrumentalism, the album uses old and new technology to seek uncharted ground, but it also takes cues from a lifetime of varied listening and sometimes evokes the perpetually contemporary fusion of Doshs babyhood (the album title, you may have guessed, contains the year of his birth) as well as hip-hop, minimalism, harmolodics, Midwestern hybridists from Tortoise to Happy Apple, and a hundred other touchstones that equally revere experimentation and groove.

Brotherkenzie - NATHAN (Twin Cities Exclusive Emerald Vinyl)

Brotherkenzie - NATHAN (Twin Cities Exclusive Emerald Vinyl)

Brotherkenzie - NATHAN

We're excited to partner with Down in the Valley to offer the Twin Cities exclusive of this release on emerald vinyl. This is limited to 250 copies and all copies will be autographed!

Brotherkenzie is the solo output from Minneapolis producer and songwriter Nathan Stocker and, through the project, lives in the shadows, operating on the outskirts of the music industry, something hes grown increasingly less interested in as he ages. Brotherkenzies music is a chasm carved from honesty and earnestness, the result teetering between catchiness and pop, but with sharp edges.

Electric Fetus Vinyl Exclusive for The Wombats - Fix Yourself, Not the World (signed copies!)

Were psyched to be the only U.S. store to offer The Wombats' release Fix Yourself, Not the World on blue vinyl! This is limited to 500 copies. Order yours now!

Recording remotely over the past year from their respective homes, The Wombatshave been working hard to produce some of the most captivating, inventive and forward-thinking music of their career to date. With Murphin Los Angeles, bassist Tord verland Knudsen in Oslo and drummer Dan Haggis in London, they discussed each days plan via Zoom, then recorded separately, sending individual files to producers Jacknife Lee (U2, The Killers), Gabe Simon (Dua Lipa, Lana Del Rey), Paul Meaney (Twenty One Pilots, Nothing But Thieves) and Mark Crew (Bastille, RagnBone Man) to mix into the finished tracks. It was pure madness, to be honest, explains Murph.

Duluth Store Permanently Closed

Duluth Store Permanently Closed

After 33 years in business, weve made the difficult decision to permanently close our Duluth location after having to shut down for COVID-19 since March 2020.

Its been incredible to be a part of the very special Duluth community and music scene, and we have great and loyal customers who we will miss. We thank you for your support and patronage.

The onset of COVID in the Spring of 2020, along with various challenges weve faced in Duluth changing retail environment, the water main break, road construction, and more has made maintaining a brick-and-mortar presence in the city an uphill climb and not viable.

Weve been struggling to get out of the red for several years now in Duluth and its just not realistic to make it work and have a successful location in the market. Therefore, weve decided to focus on our Minneapolis location exclusively and advance and evolve that store.

We are working on exciting things for our Minneapolis location and our web business, and we will be sharing more news very soon. In the meantime, from June 10 through June 30 the Minneapolis Electric Fetus is handing out 20 percent off punch cards good for three visits in the month of July.

We very much appreciate our time in Duluth, our loyal customers, and the communitys support over the years, and we look forward to whats next at our Minneapolis store, on ElectricFetus.com, and our Discogs page.

Thank you.

Prices on electricfetus.com do not necessarily reflect the prices in our retail store locations.
"Available to Order" on electricfetus.com does not necessarily reflect 'in stock' at our retail location, however it means we have quick order fulfillment (generally 2-3 business days). If you place an order for "in-store pickup" or "curbside pickup" you will receive an email when your order is ready. It may take several days over a weekend or if the item isn't in stock. Orders containing titles that aren't released yet will be shipped together in full when the pre-order is released.

Customs forms for international orders are marked as "merchandise" and we are not responsible for any additional customs fees when packages arrive at their destination country. Some items on our website aren't able to be shipped outside the U.S. Foreign orders for those items will be refunded. Box sets and books may incur an additional shipping fee for international orders. You will be emailed if there is an additional charge before your order is processed. Due to new VAT laws, we are unable to ship to the UK, Norway, Brazil, and the 27 countries in the EU. Priority shipping might not be available for large box sets. We will contact orders if we can't honor priority shipping on those items and a refund for the postage will be issued.

We reserve the right to limit quantities on special items. We offer free U.S. shipping for orders of $75+ (USPS media mail for music and books/USPS first class or priority for other items)
