The next release from our small (but mighty) label, Dangerhouse Skylab, will hit the shelves on 11 September in the form of O & Shea’s album Into The Sun
… If the name doesn’t ring a bell at first glance, his CV should give you a clearer picture: Shea Roberts is, amongst other things, the founder of the Richmond Sluts, has played with the Forgotten and Big Midnight, had a stint with the Brian Jonestown Massacre, and moved to Australia to join his wife O, where they recorded this magnificent album of duets blending power pop, inspired folk and a few flashes reminiscent of the Swinging Mademoiselle scene... It brings to mind Lee Hazelwood and Mazzy Star, but also the Australian sound of the Hoodoo Gurus or even Louis Tillett… 12 tracks, featuring a guest appearance by Peter Koppes (The Church), who contributed an original track, DSL 128, 350 copies, a splendid sunny yellow/orange vinyl…
The other release of the new season from our small (but mighty) label, Dangerhouse Skylab, will see the light of day at the start of the month with this incredible (and unexpected) new album by Mr ZERO... A (nearly) solo side project by Ollie Dolot, drummer with the extraordinary Squares, who also made his mark with the Headcoats; he’d already released an album under this name on Get Hip in 1998… A sensational comeback this autumn of 2026 with Back From My Grave
, a furious concoction of groove, fuzz, garage, organ and dancefloor killers – a string of hits recorded in the red and mastered by Jim Diamond... Ollie has since put together a band, and tour dates are expected to be announced in 2027... DSL 127, 500 copies, flipback sleeve, released on 4 September 2026…
