"I recently purchased a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon DC turntable from you, and I am really impressed with the level of detail and customer service I’ve received so far. The instruction folder is a great touch, and your excellent site gave me tons of info and insight into buying and setting up the turntable. Bravo!" - P. Cuffari
"Wow. I just got the turntable. It is amazing. I love the bags, I love the fact that I got it literally less than 24 hours after ordering, I love the cartoon easy set up pics, the stickers, record cleaner brush, and the sound is great for the money. SOOO Happy!! Thanks guys and gals--you just created a customer for life."- R. Montgomery

Proud to be a Labhead." - G. Laurie
"First off I just want to thank you and your team for everything you do! The equipment and products you sell are awesome and exactly what artists like me need. I remember when I first discovered Turntable Lab by searching online for DJ equipment. I was looking all over for different equipment that I needed and when I found TTL I was relieved to find out that you guys basically had everything I was looking for." - C. Arroyo

Dark experimental album that hits all the right notes. Originally released in 2007, Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer? was a concept album that detailed lead singer Kevin Barnes' transformation into Georgie Fruit, an alter ego created by Barnes to chronicle his then recent personal and relationship woes. The album is full of dark themes, harshly depicting breakup psychology while remaining relentlessly catchy as an almost mechanical synth-pop / glam band hybrid. Rather than treat the despair of loneliness and breakup with moody acoustic guitar ballads, Barnes goes headlong into his vulnerability with songs like the monolithic 12-minute "The Past Is a Grotesque Animal". Other songs to check out include the funky-fied "Gronlandic Edit," "Faberge Falls For Shuggie," or the wailing new-wave action of "She's a Rejecter." Throughout the album the melodies are instantly appealing, full of mechanized rhythms and synthesizer swirls. In many ways, Georgie Fruit is in the same vein as Ziggy Stardust, the album takes a direction many fans might not have imagined it would take, but Hissing Fauna is a fascinating album that will have you close to the table for repeat listens. 17 tracks in all, pressed on red and yellow 180g vinyl housed in a gatefold sleeve. Comes with printed lyric and art sheet, and includes a download code for the album + live videos of “She’s a Rejecter” and “Faberge” filmed at the Avalon in Los Angeles. Released by Polyvinyl Records.
- 180g red & yellow colored double vinyl pressing
- housed in triple panel gatefold sleeve
- includes booklet w/ lyrics + additional artwork
- digital download included
- music label: Polyvinyl Records 2019
