This is just the beginning, we have a lot of fun stuff planned for the future!

Here is an exciting one! In August, Rhino is giving us the first vinyl pressing of Twisted Tenderness and the first vinyl reissue of Raise The Pressure since the original 1996 release from Electronic. This is the project of Bernard Sumner of New Order and Johnny Marr of The Smiths. Raise The Pressure also featured Karl Bartos of Kraftwerk on keyboards. Twisted Tenderness was produced by the legendary Arthur Baker.

Very happy to see these two albums getting some love. We always see the love given to the first Electronic album, and for good reason, but these two are due for some!

We have them both up for preorder on StaticATX.com for $34.99. They are both on double LP.

Any other records y'all are excited for? Let us know in the comments.

Giving the latest repress of Urban Hymns a play. I believe they used the same masters as the 2016 and 2018 represses. Its sounding pretty great. Classic album!

The 90's are alive and well at Static ATX Records. We have the RSD Essentials reissues of the She Hangs Brightly and Among The Swan albums from Mazzy Star in, both on color vinyl. We also have some copies left of the 2017 reissue of their So Tonight That I Might See album with the legendary Fade Into You song as well if you don't already have it.

We also have the latest reissue of Urban Hymns from The Verve, probably my favorite britpop album from the 90s. I was never that into Oasis and while Blur is definitely great, give me The Verve any day. We'll also have copies of A Storm In Heaven and the No Come Down b-sides album on their way, we should have them next week. So it's a great time to fill out your Verve collection.

Don't forget that you get 10% back as store credit on every purchase and that builds up quickly which saves you money. Not many stores out there are giving you anything back these days, so show us some love!

We appreciate everyone who shops at Static ATX Records. We appreciate everyone who helps us spread the word and mentions us to their friends and family.

Hope your week is going well and we'll see you this weekend! Stay tuned because we have more new releases going up soon.

Now available at StaticATX.com, a handpicked selection of punk and post-punk vinyl from London’s La Vida Es Un Mus and child label Sealed Records. Gritty, emotional, and genre-defying releases that I enjoy, maybe you will too.

Chain Cult – Harm Reduction $28.99
Athens’ Chain Cult return with their most emotionally resonant work yet. Soaring guitars meet militant rhythms in a bleakly beautiful exploration of inner struggle and systemic decay. Precision and urgency define every track.

Chain Cult – Shallow Grave $28.99
Fiercely melodic and emotionally charged, this debut captures a band forged in unrest. Drawing on The Sound, early The Cure, and Greek post-punk forebears, it’s anthemic and intricately crafted.

Belgrado – Obraz $26.99
Barcelona’s Belgrado rebuild post-punk from the ground up. Cold wave, dub, synth, and psychedelic textures swirl into a shape-shifting soundworld rooted in transformation.

The Astronauts – Peter Pan Hits the Suburbs $28.99
A wild, genre-defying classic from 1981. Punk, psych, folk, and noise collide in a restless, kaleidoscopic debut that still sounds fresh and strange 40+ years later.

Home Front – Think of the Lie $28.99
An 808-driven, synth-laced mini-LP from Edmonton. Gritty guitars and cinematic tension recall Blitz, New Order, and Echo and the Bunnymen.

Home Front – Games of Power $28.99
New wave meets punk in this bombastic LP. Stadium-sized hooks, DIY urgency, and Tears for Fears-level drama—one of the most confident genre-blurring records of the year.

Karma Sutra – The Daydreams of a Production Line Worker $32.99
A hidden gem of the anarcho-punk underground, reissued at last. Layered, moody, and ambitious, rooted in Situationist thought and post-punk experimentation.

Astaron – Astaron $29.99
A lost Viennese classic from 1987 blending minimal wave, performance art, and melancholic pop into something haunting and singular.

All titles in stock now at StaticATX.com. Underground vinyl culture, alive and well.
