In rather typical Rack & Ruin fashion, we find ourselves going from the delightful to the downright dirty. In what is probably our heaviest blast of psychedelic garage noise, we welcome LA's M31 to the R&R shores.

Can you believe that we're already a month into the new year, and we've already put together a diverse and eclectic bunch of releases for you! I think Animal Collective released their new album some time around here in 2009, and it still ended up on many "best of 2009" lists. If that is anything to go by, then this could sail into a few for 2010.

Our penultimate release of 2009, and indeed the decade that was lovingly entitled 'the noughties' comes from one of Irelands finest, Aidan Wall, formerly known as Porn.EXE. This is a sure fire way to say goodbye to the year in style.
