How busy? Well, while Joe from Bilge Pump built a lovely shed, Gringo has been lining up four new releases.

First up is the latest album by long time Gringo favourites, I'M BEING GOOD. They are the rarest of things, a band from the UK that didn't disappear after one album, or didn't blow their early promise out of the water by signing to a big label, or basically didn't ever get shit. This band has always been ON IT. "Mountain Language" refines IBG's trick of bashing together the most far-ouTdeconstructed, strange, marginal music with irresistible pop hooks and wonderful buzzsaw guitar attacks. It brings to mind the lovely times when Polvo, Unwound and their good buds Trumans Water ruled the earth. Most of those bands bit the dust, IBG just got better. How Darwinian. Andrew Clare's artwork is magnificent as usual too!

Next! We've pressed up HOOKWORMS' debut release on 12" vinyl with the help of excellent Brighton label Faux Discx. …
