we’re closing commend’s doors for awhile on tuesday, march 1 to take a moment of reflection ahead of reinvention. against all odds we tried to maintain thru a myriad of factors, but are feeling the effects of it all in this moment. read on here ♡ https://t.co/Vn9wdIit3x

in addition to the new beanie, here is our beloved squiggle logo on a wavey, flo blue, crewneck sweatshirt. the sizing runs quite ‘true to size’, if you prefer a comfy fit, aim one larger ;) screen printed by beezer printing

I was invited to contribute an ambient mix this month and wanted to thank all the artists that I had the honor of featuring: @LentaBee & #Topu, #Strugglin' #CarlosWalker, @HeladoNegro , @dyanidouze , @NiecyBlues , #BeverlyGlennCopeland, @lrain0000 , @edwardlgordon ...

solid driving beats, punchy drums (both synth and natural) and wonky horns are splayed out across these nine tracks. american? yes. cream? sure. band? you betchya. @moonglyph

just one copy of this gem, from a sweet small collection of used records brought in by a sweet somebody. come by and see what else is new, 12~8p today and sunday 🙂 https://t.co/Lcqud8mZP9

“personally, i will always stay on that new new, or next shit - the nexus of ancient and next.” words from @AfrikanSciences back in 2019 still holding up even as we revisit this 2020 album ‘journey into mr re’. limited to 3 copies!

we have the last few copies stateside of ‘a flattened face fogs through’, a collection of sound poet john m bennett. utterly bizarre brilliant and beautiful immersive sound worlds or surreal explorations of the mundane. highly recommended!
