Kolya was an American rock band formed by Todd Giles, Craig Schechter, and Mike McDononell in Massachusetts, active from 1998 to 2001. Occasionally, drawing comparisons to bands such as Slint, June of 44, Native Nod, and Boilermaker; Kolya distinguished themselves with intricate song structures, nuanced instrumentation, and a spoken-word style of vocal delivery. Moody and angular, their discography is comprised of a demo tape, two 7” records, and one LP.
Originally released by Caulfield Records in 2001, this is the long-awaited and recently remastered vinyl reissue of Kolya's only full length recording. Released under the Small Revisions imprint, this pressing is limited to 250 copies on “Lens Flare” marbled yellow / orange.

Brooklyn-based Sharkswimmer delivers a unique blend of introspective, melodic post-hardcore and hook-driven alt-rock, carving out a distinct identity in today’s vibrant rock landscape. Drawing influence from the aggressive melodicism of 90s post-hardcore greats like Planes Mistaken For Stars, the anthemic punch of 2010s acts such as Basement, and the emotional vulnerability of contemporaries like Fiddlehead, their sound bridges eras with authenticity and depth.
At the core of Sharkswimmer’s music is an unfiltered humanity that pairs disarmingly earnest lyricism with bursts of sonic aggression, reflecting their DIY roots and commitment to raw emotional expression. Lead vocalist and guitarist Justin Buschardt channels personal experiences—particularly themes of heartbreak and resilience—into poignant storytelling that resonates universally, offering listeners a cathartic and powerful connection.
With anthemic, guitar-driven tracks that feel equally at home among the 90s emo and post-hardcore pantheon as they do alongside modern alt-rock luminaries, Sharkswimmer crafts music that is both nostalgic and forward-thinking. Their ability to merge vulnerability with intensity makes them a compelling force, capturing the spirit of a creative renaissance in guitar music while forging their own path.
"Primary" is a collection of the first three Sharkswimmer EP's (2018-2020) + New single Open Hand (2024). Limited edition vinyl now available via Small Revisions.
“Yellow Splatter” Limited Edition / 200
Hypnagogia is NO3sis' debut album, inspired by the hypnagogic state, a transitional phase between wakefulness and sleep associated with vivid sensory experiences. NO3sis, a French composer from Aubervilliers, explores this altered consciousness through ambient music, devoid of traditional structure and reflecting the fluidity of hypnagogic perceptions. The album's circular, nonlinear composition allows listeners to engage at their convenience, much like the ever-shifting nature of hypnagogic hallucinations. NO3sis serves as a spiritual guide, leading the audience deeper into their own psyche with refined loops. Collaborating with McSwain Studio, the album's artwork employs Neural Style Transfer to blend and adapt images for a unique, double-faced tape cover.
