The Gaslamp Killer - Nissim

10 years after its premiere on Gaslamp Killer's debut album "Breakthrough", my absolute favourite track from the LP gets a 7" vinyl treatment from the man himself. Written and composed alongside Turkish lute maverick Amir Yaghmai, "Nissim" is four minutes and thirty one seconds of psych-folk beatmaking that work like a snakecharmer on its listener. Cult classic. The B-side is the live version of the song, pulled from "The Gaslamp Killer Experience: Live In Los Angeles". I'd jump on this if it wasn't for the price (and shipping). The vinyl looks incredible though, with sick art by Alejandro Sordi. You can order the record in two colour versions (both limited to 500 copies) here.
