New
Corespondents- Land of the Low People (CD) ($10)- Pre-order! The long-awaited new album from Corespondents is here! The Seattle instrumental band that appeals to just about everybody and writes songs that are as catchy as any pop song (just without the words).
Drummer Cat (Koozie) ($4)- A drummer cat beer koozie with a marching band drum that says, "Yes." Yes. From the comic zine Please Be Brave.
Erica Freas- Belly (LP) ($10)- The new solo debut from Erica Freas (of RVIVR, Lightning Round). Folk anthems to play over and over. Songs that empower. Paying tribute to family, animals, the earth, life and death and everything in between.
I See It All (Koozie) ($4)- A serene cat on a surfboard to hold you beer or cold beverage. From the comic zine I See It All by Bay Area artist, Deth P. Sun.

Keesha and Joanie and Jane (Zine) ($9)- A fictional story where, in a not-too-distant future, abortion is made illegal in the United States. Written by one of the original "Janes" and brilliantly formatted like a Broadway Playbill by Eberhardt Press.
Magick Orchids- Origins of Grinding (Cassette Tape) ($5)- One of those albums that fits nicely between genres, making it appealing to lots of different people.  A brilliant mix of electronics, live instruments, drum machines, synths, samples, skits, and children singing. Bass heavy and catchy.
Moon Calendar (Calendar) ($8)- A 2013-early 2014 moon phase calendar from an artist living in the rural Siskyou Mountains of Oregon. Beautiful images of plants, animals, and humans - growing, changing, metamorphosing.

No shipping charges, just a one time flat fee and then you're a member!
The Narrows (Book) ($12)- "In this magical world plagued by inequality, greed and environmental woes, Sim must hold her own with her fearless and often dominating new friends while coming to terms with her sexuality and accepting her latent magical abilities."

Primahood: The Second Album (Comic Zine/Graphic Novel) ($8)- A second issue of this interesting exploration into gender and parenthood. Taking place in a surreal fantasy land and using it's own language of phrases and ideas. Perfectly interweaving adult observation and child wisdom into one narrative.
Primazons (Paper Dolls) ($6)- Based on characters from Tyler Cohen's Primahood comics, these paper dolls are beautifully strange human creatures with tons of outfits! Two dolls, lots to wear, all in full color.
