Five recent vinyl releases from Blowtorch Records

Updated: Mar 28, 2023

Keeping it physical, we're committed to putting out the best boutique tunes on vinyl

 

Sam Girling - Attacca mixtape


Attacca is the debut mixtape of UK electronic artist, producer and DJ Sam Girling. The 13 tracks on side A are a continuous mix and a reflection of Sam's creative output in its rawest form. Side B is an extended version of Take Your Time. The mixtape is written in tandem, with each track directly affecting the tempo, key and themes of the next.


As we said in our review, it's worth it for the Berlin-set cover alone however there is aural treasure and pleasure within.



 

Virgins - Transmit A Little Heaven EP


Virgins are a Belfast shoegaze/dream pop band with Michael Smyth at at the hazy centre and joined by vocalist Rebecca Dow on the recordings. They are fresh new talent that offer something no one else in Ireland is doing. Through the haze of fuzz and reverb lies a beautiful cacophony of melody. This 12" Transmit A Little Heaven EP is on 140g pink vinyl.



 

Jagged Baptist Club - Temptation Death House LP


Temptation Death House is the second LP from Jagged Baptist Club on 140g pink vinyl. JBC is a Los Angeles band driven by Josh's throbbing synth sound, egging on the guitar, bass and drums to a sleazy, hyperkinetic garage punk sound. They have been compared to Primal Scream and Savages, with influences including Blur, ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead, The Birthday Party and Division of Laura Lee.



 

Crude - four track lathe cut EP


Crude were a Galway band whose members went on to be in Nerves, Punching Peaches and Montessori. They recorded one EP in the home studio of bassist Charlie McCarthy and drummer Naoise Jordan Cavanagh has had it mastered ready for this bespoke pressing. This is a chance to own a unique piece of Galway music history. An 8” lathe cut EP in clear or black vinyl, with each copy having bespoke artwork from frontman Conor Ostheimer.

The Swedish Railway Orchestra - Dance To The Drum Machine


The Swedish Railway Orchestra is the brainchild of Dublin musician and producer Rob Smith. His latest release is a vinyl LP Dance To The Drum Machine on 12" black vinyl. The album is beaty and bouncy and as Rob says, the one he had the most fun making. It's packed with Saturday night party tunes. FFO LCD Soundsystem, Kraftwerk, Caribou and Balearic House. It is also now available as 25 track deluxe digital edition.
