Top Sellers: Wazoo Records in Ann Arbor
In the spirit of the great Midwestern summer, I took a road trip this week to Ann Arbor. Instead of posting on a Chicago indie record store this week, I decided to stop by a great A2 local indie called Wazoo Records. Walk up the stairs off of South State Street (not to be confused with our State Street), turn right, open the door, and you're in a great record store. Just don't confuse it with the apartment door nearby. Almost knocked on that.
This week's list comes from the friendly Forest Juziuk, manager of Wazoo. Grizzly Bear has made the list three times in a row, and this time, the Ann Arbor locals are bolded.
Mos Def, The Ecstatic (Downtown)
Sonic Youth, The Eternal (Matador)
Grizzly Bear, Veckatimest (Warp Records)
Dirty Projectors, Bitte Orca (Domino)
Starling Electric, Clouded Staircase (Self-Released, but looks like the band has signed with Bar/None Records)
Deerhunter, Rainwater Cassette Exchange (Kranky)
On a side note about A2's local scene, Juziuk also recommended Chris Bathgate's Throatsleep. Sounds great to these ears.
