Troller‘s s/t LP will be available on vinyl once again as of June 4, 2013! This is the album’s 2nd pressing, also an edition of 300, this time with black dust sleeves. We’re psyched that people dug our Trolls SO much that we had to do an almost instant repress – and now, it’s available for preorder at the STORE, all orders will ship on or before June 4.
On June 18, 2013 HOLODECK will release Marie Davidson’s self-titled EP (HD017) – Marie is part of the vibrant La Brique collective in Montréal, QC, and also plays in Les Momies de Palerme, Hotel Monochrome, DKMD, and Essaie Pas. Her solo work first came to our attention when a track of hers appeared on Silent Land Time Machine’s OCT 2012 tour mix tape, and we’ve been pinned to the floor ever since. If you didn’t catch the video for her single, Esthétique Privée, click the link and turn the lights off, this video works best if it’s DARK.
Stream Marie’s album below – pre-orders accepted via the STORE – orders shipping on or before the June 18 release date:
Several HOLODECK bands (S U R V I V E, Troller, Silent Land Time Machine, and Thousand Foot Whale Claw) will be featured in this year’s Chaos in Tejas fest here in Austin – the three shows are also co-sponsored by the Dallas-based Gorilla vs. Bear (who seem to be giving away tickets for each one of these shows on their site – so, keep an eye out for that).

HOLODECK is proud to announce that our next release will be Marie Davidson’s s/t EP (HD017, CS26, ed. of 200 – release TBA *soon*). Marie is from, and based in Montréal, Quebec, and has crafted an incredible 6 song EP of sombre electronic explorations and minimalist, existential French-pop that has had us pinned to the floor since we first heard about her (for the especially detail-oriented, you may remember one of her tracks from Silent Land Time Machine’s OCT 2012 tour mix tape).
We will have the full album streaming on our bandcamp soon – for now, check out the killer video that Marie made for her song Esthétique privée off her upcoming EP.
On April 30, 2012, HOLODECK “officially” launched with the release of our first four tapes, HD001-HD004. As of April 30th, 2013, we’ve released 15 cassettes (8 of which are sold out) and one vinyl LP. It’s been an *insanely* fun year, and we’re working hard to make 2013, and beyond, even better.
Thanks so much for all the continued support, genuinely kind words, and open-ears to what we’re doing down here in ATX!

In early 2013 we were kindly asked to put together several mixtapes (for 20 Jazz Funk Greats & Impose Magazine, respectively) that featured the HOLODECK catalog – since we have 6 new tapes dropping in March 2013, we thought we’d sneak in a track from each of the new releases on each mixtape…
Both mixes both start with a banger from Troller’s s/t LP (HD003LP/LLR007), and then run through our catalog-to-date, playing in reverse chronological order of release (i.e. the new stuff is first). Artist / song / release info can be found in the comments on the soundcloud stream.
(and, psssssstttttt you can download them both!)
As of Tuesday, January 22 TROLLER’s debut album, Troller, is official “out” on vinyl – collaboratively released between HOLODECK and LIGHT LODGE (HD003LP/LLR007), the LP is a reissue of Troller’s cassette, originally released in April 2012 on HOLODECK (HD003). Pressing of 300 on black vinyl, w/ black LP stickers and reverse-matte LP jackets.
Have a listen / grab a copy at the HOLODECK STORE. And if you’re in California, look at the post below, ’cause TROLLER and THOUSAND FOOT WHALE CLAW are coming your direction from 1/24 to 1/27!
