The Growlers - Gilded Pleasures (Pre-order)
Gilded Pleasures (2013) by The Growlers captures the band’s signature “beach goth” sound through a hazy mix of psychedelic rock, surf, garage, and lo-fi experimentation. Originally released as a companion piece to Hung at Heart, the album features Brooks Nielsen’s distinctive vocals over woozy guitars, relaxed rhythms, and an intentionally rough-around-the-edges production style. Tracks like “Dogheart II,” “Hiding Under Covers,” and “Tell It How It Is” showcase the group’s offbeat charm, pairing catchy melodies with themes of love, temptation, loneliness, and restless living. It’s a raw, eccentric snapshot of The Growlers before their later move toward a cleaner, more polished sound.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR RECORDS
Always handle your vinyl by its edges and label, avoiding fingerprints on the grooves. Before and after each play, gently clean the surface with a carbon-fiber anti-static brush or a dedicated record-cleaning solution to remove dust and debris. Store records upright in their sleeves, away from heat, humidity, and direct sunlight to preserve sound quality and prevent warping..
