// INTRODUCTION // 06 FEBRUARY 2022 //

Dear NCV Supporters,

February gets going with some great new arrivals, classic offerings from Dais Records and a new label from France: G4F Records. Thank you to the supporters who had requested the Road96 OST 2xLP, we're glad to be able to announce "we have it at NCV!". Two important represses have been announced, and we have both restock & reservation updates - all shared below.

Stay safe and all the best, Jory - NCV

// NEW TITLES - RECENT ARRIVALS //

Tempers - 'Services' - 12" on clear
The New York duo Tempers have long been a passionate favorite of ours. Next level dark synth-pop with elements not found anywhere else.
(Their upcoming album 'New Meaning' drops April 1st)

Tempers - 'Private Life' - 12" on clear yellow
We couldn't not have Tempers represented without 'Private Life', a slightly more atmospheric offering, with some tracks approaching a darkwave vein, greatness!

Black Marble - 'Fast Idol' - 12" on gold
Another artist we've long admired is modern cold wave legend, Black Marble. With their latest, 'Fast Idol' - we hope to eventually stock all BM titles, as they are available.

Choir Boy - 'Passive With Desire' -12"
on opaque banana and
cloudy orange vinyl
Our appreciation for Choir Boy continues, with the addition of 2 variants of PWD, a staple of SLC dream-pop creativity.

Pierce With Arrow - 'Shatter' - 12"
on silver vinyl OR clear vinyl
Pierce With Arrow is one of the most interesting experimental artists we’ve had the pleasure of hearing. Interested in creating a fully immersive experience, this stuff dives deep (and dark). Like a beautiful horror film for your ears, it’s smart and divisive and never crude or brutal.

Woohoo! We've got new inventory from our new friends at G4F Records in France! G4F specialises in video game soundtracks on multiple formats, including vinyl. We've started off with a couple of titles we've had requested, however if any other selections from the G4F catalog catch your eye, please reach out to us via our CONTACT PAGE

V/A - 'Road96 OST' - 2xLP
on 180g yellow and black
The definitive synthwave focused videogame soundtrack for Road96! Robert Parker, Toxic Avenger, Volkor X and more - 23 original tracks for the game across 2xLP!

'Dungeon of the Endless OST' by FlybyNo on orange 180g vinyl
Arnaud Roy aka FlybyNo brings beautiful, meloncholic synth-tracks to accompany Dungeon of the Endless. Crafted with retro hardware, it's a slow burn - like a dungeon crawl!

// RADICAL REPRESSES! //

Korine - 'New Arrangements' - 12" on yellow vinyl
Right around the corner, Born Losers Records has announced the 3rd pressing of Korine's 'New Arrangements' will be available in May 2022, and you better believe we will have some at NCV!

Nuovo Testamento - 'New Earth' - 12"
Has received a repress from Avant! Records, and we have copies inbound! Our first stocking order of this title was gone on launch day, so we're glad to have the opportunity to offer this great record once again. Like the 1st press, this is on black.

For both of the above represses, visit the release page in the shop to submit a "pre-stock" request, and we'll notify you as soon as they arrive AND hold one aside for you, with the option of purchasing at that time.
