Hella Comet – Locust Valley LP (Noise Appeal Records)
After Westend 10″ and Wild Honey LP, this particular release will be the last Hella Comet album I will talk about this week.

If you visited our pages yesterday, you probably had a chance to read a review I wrote about Westend, a 10″ EP by Hella Comet.

Here’s another superb release that recently arrived at our headquarters. Oh, To Be Weightless In The Sky is the latest EP release by Guest Directors, a Seattle-based post-shoegaze group.
