Media Puzzle is a mysterious figure in Lismore's nightlife, named after the Irish horse that claimed victory in the 2002 Melbourne Cup (naturally). Over the last 3 years, Media Puzzle have churned out 3 scuzzy post-punk albums and 2 blisteringly short, and fun EPs. "Residing somewhere between Suicide's dark melodies, and Uranium Club's remote eccentricities", the last two releases landed an exclusive vinyl feature in Rough Trade, and a solid 7.6 score from Pitchfork, praised for it's "uncanny creativity that egg punk weirdos love to tout". Having carved out a space between drum machine-riddled egg-punk and fuzzy scuzz-pop, their newest record is a departure from previous efforts, and it seems, a maturing... After a year of DIY recording and touring, Media Puzzle grace the track with their 4th (and still somewhat speedy) album, New Racehorse. Ditching the previous drum machine-focused, egg punk fashion, this fourth album is the most collaborative yet, mixing oddball pop and garage punk. For fans of early Beck, Uranium Club, DEVO, and everything in between. Pressed onto purple transparent vinyl with a custom design retail sticker. "That's what media puzzle can't help but display across New Racehorse: the sheer fun they have coming up with songs and figuring out how to curl each ribbon dangling off their edges" 8.0 - PITCHFORK

Shipping, Returns & Cancellations
Shipping, Returns & Cancellations
SHIPPING:
We ship Monday through Friday. Orders typically ship within 24-72 hours. Tracking is sent to the email you provide at check out and may take a few days to become active.
Any items ordered with Pre-Orders will be held until they can all ship together. If you need in stock items faster please order them seperately.
RETURNS:
Returns are only accepted on damaged or defective items. Return requests must be made within 7 days of delivery. Please save the original packaging.
If you own a Crosley, Victrola or any other lower end turntable that has no ability to adjust the weight of the tone arm and are experiencing skipping on a new record please try the "Penny Trick". Simply place a penny on the top of the cartidge and it should provide enough weight to resolve your issues. While a great entry to the world of vinyl we do recommend upgrading to a turntable with a tone arm that can be adjusted as this issue will randomly occur. We do not take returns in these cases.
Resellers: If you are buying from us for resale we honestly don't mind. However, please don't panic if something you bought suddenly isn't flipable for more money and then try to return stuff to us because you feel like you made a bad investment choice. Despite our outsized reputation we're a small shop, not amazon. Absorbing these costs adds up on places like ours. Plus a little patience always tends to pay off.
CANCELLATIONS:
Due to an increasing number of payment processors no longer returning transaction fees to sellers on cancelled orders and rising labor costs any orders or pre-orders that need to be cancelled before shipment will be assessed a 5% cancellation/restocking fee on the order total including shipping and any other taxes or fees associated with the order.
Thank you for your understanding.
