Christophe Vaillant previously fronted the French rock band Pony Taylor. A five piece
band with a taste for 60s beat music, they record two fine long-players before calling
it a day to because of family commitments. In November 2014, Christophe formed Le Super
Homard with his brother Olivier and Pandora Burgess. Their brand of electronic pop
resonates with classic French pop references including those of spiritual fathers of
the electro-pop genre, Stereolab and Medhi Zannad, author of a French pop masterpiece,
Fugu 1. This is going to go down well with fans of Stereolab, Gruff Rhys and Broadcast.

In 2015 this legendary Irish duo released its first new studio album in 42 years,
'The Dark Dance', which was launched at the equally legendary music venue, the Half
Moon in Putney. The performance mixed Tir na nOg classics with songs from this album.
Tir na nOg has been described as alt folk, prog folk, psych folk and even space folk,
but the duo, formed by Leo O'Kelly and Sonny Condell in 1970, transcends all these
categories.

Icarus Peel is the leader of The Honey Pots, but he has a busy little sideline in solo
albums, of which Forget-Me-Not Under Pussy Willow is the fourth. It sounds as old-tyme
English as the sleeve art looks, with an eccentric darkness that feels like a twingle
in Peel’s eye. 180g vinyl LP release on the Mega Dodo label, limited to 250 copies.

Mordecai Smyth’s debut album ‘Sticky Tape and Rust’ was the very first release on the
Mega Dodo label. Since then he has been toiling on something rather different. But
what, exactly? Well, the wait is over...and it is my unfortunate duty to inform you
that The Mayor of Toytown is Dead. But this is no cause for sadness: Mordecai is still
very much with us, although the short, sharp numbers of those Sticky Tape days have
gone. They're longer now but still with hooks aplenty - accessible and challenging in
the best tradition of progressive rock. Mordecai prefers it to be known as "regressive
rock." He's also called upon the assistance of a wide pool of talents. Among them is
Dave Lambert (Strawbs, The Fire) who contributes lead guitar to the album's opening
and closing tracks.

Hailing from Philadelphia, The Orange Drop blends dreamy psychedelia with some darker,
acid-laced sounds of the '60s. Brian Jonestown Massacre fans (particularly of the early
records) should appreciate The Orange Drop's approach that is both lo-fi and polished.
If this is garage rock, it was made in a garage that conceals an amateur LSD lab.
Orange Drop re-invents '60s psychedelia with a 21st century twist of experimentalism!
Orange vinyl.

Mark and The Clouds is a London based band playing a blend of timeless and powerful
pop. Evolving from Instant Flight, a band so cool they persuaded the legendary Arthur
Brown to sing on their debut album Colours & Lights, Mark & The Clouds is fronted by
vocalist and songwriter Marco Magnani. This is Mark and The Clouds difficult second
album. Although there’s nothing difficult about it. Like their debut, it’s full of
intoxicating bright, jangly pop and rock with more hooks than an angler’s bait box.
Think Kinks, Jam and the best power pop imaginable and that’s Mark & The Clouds.

'Await The Queen' is Crystal Jacqueline's first double-album. It's a gorgeous work of
rich psychedelic textures and lighter acid-folk melodies, mixing both with ease to
deliver a sensual blend of textures and sonic landscapes that lead to an immersive
sonic experience. Her haunting vocals, combined with the song writing skills of
producer Icarus Peel, once again produce one of those albums that you hear for the
first time, then play again, and again, and before you know it an entire day has gone
by. And you've still not heard it enough. Limited to 250 sets.

burgeoning neo-psych scene. Their harmony-laden baroque/freakbeat sound draws upon
influences such as The Left Banke, The Kinks, and The Association.

It took Sonny and Leo of Tir na nOg 42 years to record the follow up to their 1973
album 'Strong In The Sun'. But it was worth the wait. When 'The Dark Dance' was
released in 2015 it was hailed as a triumphant return. Prog Magazine called it "an
acoustically mounted piece of great refinement, on a record often embellished by
strings and moments of eastern promise". Now 'The Dark Dance' appears on vinyl for
the first time.

Originally from Newcastle, England, Toby Twirl was founded in 1968 and recorded three
classic, and now highly collectable, singles for Decca in the late 1960s. This long
overdue debut album mixes original songs with a selection of carefully curated hits
of the day. The recordings were discovered by the band's drummer, John Reed, in a dusty
box of reel-to-reel tapes in his attic. The band made several demo and showcase
recordings at various studios in the late '60s, but they were thought lost forever.
Reed's chance discovery uncovered a veritable goldmine of late '60s recordings by both
line-ups of the band. Part 1 of the CD features vocalist Dave 'Holly' Holland, while
part 2 features vocalist Steve Pickering.

Star Sponge Vision is Jon Povey, Keyboards, Vocals, Narration & percussion and Twink
Drums, percussion & Narration (Ex Pretty Things) with Max Gibson, Nick Ferris, and
Ed Sykes. Together they have recorded a concept album about Aleister Crowley. Yes,
that Aleister Crowley, the Great Beast! It all starts in 1974. John Povey is sitting
with Jimmy Page in the Hyatt hotel on Sunset Blvd watching a film by Kenneth Anger
"Scorpio Rising". Listening to Jimmy's music they talk about many things, including
his interest in one Aleister Crowley! The seed is sown. Fast forward to 2016. Jon
Povey is working with Twink on his "Technicolor Dream" music, adding keyboards and
vocals. Twink says "Ever thought about looking into Crowley poetry and writing music
to it?" Another seed drops into Poveys mind. Sometime later he purchased several books
about this strange and complicated man, Aleister Crowley which inspired him to write
the album Crowley and Me.

'Victorian Wonders' takes many of the themes, sounds and textures that made their
previous albums so alluring and gives them a subtle twist. A rich, dark and sometimes
mystical brew of modern psychedelic sounds, 'Victorian Wonders' is a sensitive and
melancholic record that, like its predecessors, draws on the spirits of Syd Barrett
and early Floyd for inspiration. It is, in parts, dissonant and eerie, and in others
whimsical and diaphanous. It's a luscious experience, a trippin' musical creature,
where each note is a short journey to unimaginable places in our minds.

filtered through early '70s UK acts like Brinsley Schwarz and Danny Kirwan-era
Fleetwood Mac. Their shared enthusiasm for late '60s baroque psychedelia and 12-string
jangle has blossomed into a prolific songwriting team that now includes contributions
from their keyboardist Sarah Gonputh. Limited to 300 copies on black vinyl.

3 Await You Here
4 Light Splinters
5 Dust Drawn Maps
6 Bewildered Jane
7 Harmony Ambassador
8 Time And Tide
9 The Partisan Returns
10 Waving Good-bye
Those psychedelic darlings of the A303, The Honey Pot, power into 2019 with their
first album of all new material since 2016's 'Inside The Whale'. 'Bewildered' Jane
is their forth long-player, fifth if you include their recent compilation of rarities,
and their third for Mega Dodo. Confused? Or should that be bewildered? Produced by
founding member Icarus Peel, 'Bewildered Jane' sees The Honey Pot sound maturing.
It's richer and deeper, the harmonies lusher and the sound that little bit fuller.
It's as if the band has made a collective decision to ditch milk chocolate for a
100% cocoa dark variety. 'Bewildered Jane' may be a tad darker than their previous
long-players, but its core remains resolutely familiar. Limited to 300 copies.

Sai Gon based artist Skeleton Goode is the nom de plume of Jack Briggs - an English
guitarist and songwriter. Skeleton Goode provides Jack with the opportunity to drag
his maladies from post-industrial North-East England, through the sticky heat of the
Mekong Delta and into your ears. Nuggets of disjointed pop-sike for your listening
pleasure. The recently recruited Skeleton Goode Band (an international 4-piece
consisting of American, Japanese and English musicians) have just returned from a
3 week SE Asian tour and are champing-at-the-bit to perform their wistful ditties
to a brand-new audience.

'A Prayer For The Birds' was written by Crystal's partner and musical director Icarus
Peel and was inspired by their shared love of nature and the environment. While the
album may offer something familiar and dependable, it's another step forward in
a musical journey that started some years ago. For this album, Jacqueline is joined
by new backing singers Victoria Reyes and Elaine Lightfoot. Victoria also plays
exquisite oboe and Lizzy Wayne, who's also played with the Honey Pot, adds flute.
Both players and instruments add new colours to a rich pastoral sonic palette.
Jacqueline and her band lay down a deep-pile carpet to walk on, a perfectly heated
pool to swim in, an adequately logged fireplace to lie in front of. It's a musical
gift to the world and a prayer for the birds.

DODOLP 036 MORDECAI SMYTH:THINGS ARE GETTING STRANGER ON THE SHORE LP 05.2022
DODOCD 036 MORDECAI SMYTH:THINGS ARE GETTING STRANGER ON THE SHORE CD 05.2022
Deep in the Berkshire suburbia lives a man named Mordecai Smyth. He was the first
artist to sign to the independent record label Mega Dodo back in 2011. That year
saw the release of the pop-psych album, 'Sticky Tape And Rust' and the single
"Georgina Jones." In 2017, Mordecai released a more progressive sounding album,
"The Mayor Of Toytown Is Dead" to critical acclaim: it was voted "album of the year"
in the American Goldmine magazine's "Spin Cycle" section by Dave Thompson. 2022 sees
the release of his third album, 'Things Are Getting Stranger On The Shore.
This album builds on the previous one, giving a progressive, and art rock feel,
whilst skirting around alternative rock/pop genres. Imagine Van Der Graaf Generator
on quaaludes and you're part of the way there. As with 'Toytown' which featured
special guest Dave Lambert from the Strawbs 'Shore' features guest appearances by
Jon Camp, formerly of Renaissance, Icarus Peel and Crystal Jacqueline.
LImited to 250 copies.

62 Miles From Space is a two-piece virtual music project founded in Moscow consisting
of Neil Davidson (samples, programming) and Roman Kutnov (guitar, vocals). The fact
that they lived in the same city is purely a coincidence however. Their music lives
entirely on the internet and now on vinyl. They don't jam, they don't play live and
mostly use virtual instruments, and their collaboration is centered around e-mail.
As the name 62 Miles From Space suggests, their music doesn't correspond to a
particular time or place of creation.

Tir na nOg have been described as alt folk, prog folk, psych folk, and even space
folk! But the duo, formed by Leo O'Kelly and Sonny Condell in 1970, transcends
all these categories. What is not in doubt is that they are two of the most
original and influential songwriters and performers Ireland has ever produced.
Tir na nOg's 'Live 1970-'71' features Sonny and Leo performing some of their
best loved songs before audiences and live in the studio. Beside featuring their
original composition, 'Live 1970-'71' features perfectly curated cover versions
such as Joni Mitchell's 'Woodstock' and Bob Dylan's 'Maggies Farm' available on
album for the first time. 'Live 1970-'71' has been licenced from Tir na nOg and
remastered for compact disc.
