BRAND NEW - 'THE DEVIL AND GOD ARE RAGING INSIDE ME' 2LP + 7” BONUS [IVC EDITION]
Long Island’s Brand New emerged from the pop-punk and emo milieu that dominated the early-to-mid 2000s. But where their first two albums leaned hard on pop-punk – albeit with a strong harbinger of the genre-expanding bellwethers they would become – their ambition wasn’t fully realized until their third album and Interscope debut, 2006’s The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me.
Channeling indie-rock gods Pixies and Modest Mouse, the group leapfrogged their peers in both stylistic grandeur and lyrical maturity. Frontman Jesse Lacey delivers intensely personal lyrics in both a tortured wail and quiet, somber cry over tracks that are longer, more complex and fully realized. “It’s teen angst blown up to literally biblical proportions,” Pitchfork wrote of the album, “resonating like no emo band before or since to outcasts in Sunday school and high school.”
This 2LP comes in a trifold jacket with uncoated paper stock and features black and white split color vinyl and custom printed sleeves. It comes with a bonus 7” single on black vinyl with a custom printed sleeve featuring rare photo cover art. The A-side is “Fork and Knife” and the B-side is “Luca (Reprisal).” This is a one-time pressing of 3,000 units and it is individually numbered.

Dr. Octagon – “Dr. Octagonecologyst" IVC EDITION
“Dr Octagon for me was a chance to take all the rules, limitations and regulations in hip hop and throw them out the window.”
– Dan The Automator (Producer)
Dr. Octagonecologyst is the 1996 underground hip-hop, concept album by Dr. Octagon, an alter ego of hip-hop legend Kool Keith (Ultramagnetic MCs, Dr. Dooom, Black Elvis, Dr. Ultra). Widely regarded as one of the best and most collectable underground hip-hop albums of the ‘90s, Dr. Octagonecologyst introduces the character of Dr. Octagon, a homicidal, extraterrestrial, time-traveling gynecologist, and surgeon. Kool Keith’s abstract lyricism explores themes of medicine, space travel, and more setting it apart from mainstream hip-hop while redefining underground hip-hop.
The outrageously offbeat humor and psychedelic storytelling gives the album a cinematic quality which is perfectly complimented by complex and moody trip-hop inspired beats produced by Dan the Automator (Handsome Boy Modeling School, Gorillaz, Deltron 3030). The Boom Bap beats are further enhanced by the legendary DJ Q-Bertwhose remarkable scratching gives the album its turntablism edge.
It's hard to exaggerate the role that Dr. Octagon played in revitalizing underground hip-hop. Dr. Octagonrepresented the first truly new, genuine alternative to commercial hip-hop and continues to gain popularity as a true hip-hop cult classic.
