2*12" Gatefold vinyl
Record/Vinyl + Digital Album
We found two boxes of Drone Head vinyls in a closet. The double, gatefold vinyl with all your favorite Janitors songs. All are shrinkwrapped so there might be a white vinyl hiding somewhere. It's kind of like Charly and the chocolate factory minus willy wonka and the chocolate. And it's not a ticket, it's a vinyl. Comes with a DL of Drone Head. If you already got the digital version, send us a mail and we'll send you the Evil Doings DL instead.
Sweden is a drag when it comes to postal fees. Here the postalworkers don't go postal. The customers do. Because it so fricking expensive. So sorry about the fees.

Drone Head repress
Record/Vinyl + Digital Album
Cardinal Fuzz and Little Cloud Records are proud to present a long awaited vinyl re-issue of the long out of print cult neo-psych classic that is ‘Drone Head’ by The Janitors.
Fuelled by folköl and an uncontrollable urge to hiss and make noise the Janitors went into their own studio Psych grottan and during 2012 gave birth to two Ep’s, a couple of singles and remixes and a lot of raised eyebrows from audiences and blogs from all over the world. The shamanic psychedelic trance of darkness and drone of the The Worker Drone Queen and Head Honcho Ep’s ended up on more than a few end of years best offs back in 2012 and since then the cult over this record has grown and grown. The recordings eventually found their way into the hands of Cardinal Fuzz who on the spot decided to release the whole shebang on a glorious 2x12" gatefold vinyl. Also exclusive to this release are the Al Lover remix of "Death Song" and Strssmnt remix of Coming Down + a brand new track "Nevereverism". The Janitors give love to noise, monotony and pop songs and mainly consist of two people in love with the darker side of the 80´s with heroes like Loop, Spacemen 3 and JAMC. We call what we do stökpsych or evil shoegaze boogie woogie, you decide for yourself.
This reissue of ‘Drone Head’ is presented in a luxurious 350gsm gloss laminated gatefold sleeve with Side A/B as Beer Coloured Vinyl and side C/D as Weed coloured vinyl. Download Code included and maybe with a nice bonus if The Janitors can find something...

The Janitors are bringing slow burn, fuzzed out desert rock psychedelia and they are bringing it BIG! "Drone Head" is top-notch spacerock/shoegaze/psychrock from start to finish." www.permanentrecordschicago.com
"the songs are surprisingly varied, they’re woven into a fantastically druggy and tranced out, psychedelic whole, one that definitely ranks as one of our favorite spaced out heavy garage psych releases in recent memory." aquariusrecords.org
"It’s an absolutely mesmerizing affair, and hopefully you weren’t expecting anything less from these Stockholm psych-outs" Styrofoam Drone
"Only those with an interest in the heaviest of heavy psych need apply - this is not music for the faint of heart, but those with a love of evil drone and heavy garage clamor will be totally in their element." Active listener
"Mid-paced repeato psych style which has a hypnotic feel like Black Rebel Motorcycle Clubjamming a particularly gnarly Primal Scream groove." Norman Records
By the time all hell breaks loose and the band’s full-on aural assault strikes us between the ears with ravishing slices of barbed wire fuzz… well, you just ain’t heard nothing like this in a long while. It´s psychedelic Baby! !
"A-Bow is a glorious, and gloriously ambitious, piece of blues stomp with more depth and space than most music in this tradition. . This is slow-burn scuzz rock with a vengeance.” Drug punk!

The songs on the new LP from Swedish group Melby buttress delicate vocal melodies with skittering rhythms and airy psychedelia. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 29, 2022
The Oscillation are one of the best bands in the world. I have all the recent stuff on vinyl and was delighted to pick this harder-to-find earlier LP off via Bandcamp. These tunes are a bit more crisp and punchy than the later stuff with an obvious nod to Spacemen 3/Spiritualized and show them at an earlier stage of their psych journey. Needless to say, it is brilliant, panoramic, adrenaline-fuelled and life-affirming stuff. deadshotkeen
