Release Notes:

Rough Trade Shops present our annual 'best of the year'
release, new curiosities selected in the name of encouraging
your continued patronage of independent record stores
everywhere. There is not room to tell you about everything
here, but we can say with confidence that despite the economic
gloom the music scene is as strong as ever.

The Counter Culture CD is a blend of big hitters from the shop
floor, staff favourites, exciting new artists, exclusive edits
and a few rough diamonds. We filter further by presenting as
many of the different musical genres in stock, from folk and
indie-pop to dubstep and electro-techno, and from the warm and
friendly to the de-tuned and experimental. Finally, we sculpt
the whole into the contemporary equivalent of the good old C90
mix-tape, a selection that we hope will not only entice and
educate, but that will also entertain.

Over the 44 tracks on this 2CD release, you will find rural
homespun craft, space-age tropicalia, dream pop, lo-fi garage,
phaser-driven space disco, grunge (it's back Baby!), d-i-y
punk rock, crunk, hairy drums, razor-sharp beats and the
slow-motion ghost of jungle, amongst other things...read on.

It was an excellent year for those who like their music
reflective, with the folky, the low-key, the lo-fi and the
shoe-gazey featuring strongly in our chart. Some stunning
debut albums from Bon Iver, Headless Heroes, Peter Broderick
and Atlas Sound are represented here on CD1, alongside some
that we believe will do well next year, The Acorn and The Low
Anthem among them.

Rough Trade staples indie-pop and garage have been reinvented
once again, this time by The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, The
School, Crystal Stilts and the Vivian Girls, while noisenicks
Sic Alps and Times New Viking have been bubbling for a couple
of years now on the excellent Siltbreeze label, 2008 being the
year they came through with excellent albums, the latter
having since signed with Matador.

For those that are pining for that Neals Yard vibe, we have
much to recommend in the form of what you could call
'outsider' music. HEALTH, from The Smell scene in L.A, are
reinventing no-wave, while Indian Jewelry provide a unique
lo-fi gothic brew from the Now We Are Free label. The Upset!
The Rhythm collective have wow-ed us with some out-there live
shows and some wax to match, from the likes of High Places and
Softboiled Eggies, while Gaz WIIIJA came up trumps again by
turning us onto the indie-electro of Telepathe.

Loudest and proudest and standing out from the crowd are Boris
and The ~love~ Limits. Musically as well as geographically
they are poles apart, but both bring the serious noise to this
release. Southern Lord's Boris are a jet engine of
Ramones-influenced lo-slung skuzz, while the ~love~ Limits
inject a hardcore dose of seventies punk into the mix. The
'Limits track is only about a minute long but, like all their
releases, it is straight-to-the-~censored~-point business, and
they could well be the most exciting band of the next 12
months.

If CD1 is good to stick on while yr in the tub, just try not
pogo-ing to CD2.

The best description of our role at the shop is that we act as
a filter. We don't like to blow our own trumpets, and we can
only recommend what's out there, but this year the records
have been as exciting and diverse as they always seems to be
at RT, making this part of our job easy.
