Rest in power, Geordie Walker (Killing Joke, The D Rest in power, Geordie Walker (Killing Joke, The Damage Manual, Murder Inc., and so much more). A titan of the guitar, whose tone was always instantly recognizeable. We were fortunate enough to see him play live on several occasions, but always thought we'd have one more chance. He leaves behind an impressive, raging, thunderous body of work. #colorsoundoblivion #geordiewalker #killingjoke #thedamagemanual #murderinc #rip

We have been so humbled and touched by the outpour We have been so humbled and touched by the outpouring of support and kindness from you all since our post on Wednesday re: our need to find a new location. It helped to remind us just what an impact we've made in our two brief years of existence, and we are so grateful to have you all in our lives. We will be posting updates as things progress-- keep sending those links and referrals just in case!-- and hopefully we will have good news to share with you all soon! 🖤🤞🖤 #colorsoundoblivion #recordstore #recordshop #vinylshop #vinylstore #musicstore #musicshop #biddeford #maine #musick
Dearest friends, this is a post we never wanted to Dearest friends, this is a post we never wanted to write. Earlier this year, we received news that the owner of our building was preparing to sell it. Since then, we have been tirelessly working to find a new home for CSO, one that would enable us to expand and realize all the dreams that a larger space would allow. After a few false starts, we found the perfect space nearby, and teamed up with the city and the wonderful architects at Mobile Design Studio (highly recommended) to make it a reality. Just the other week, however, as we were about to sign the final draft of the lease, the new landlord suddenly backed out of the project. While we are looking into alternate spaces, we are calling out into the void to see if there are opportunities in town we may have overlooked. If you know of a retail space that CSO could call home, please get in touch via DM or email ASAP. Thank you all again for your unwavering support over the past two years-- you have our deepest gratitude. With Love, Remy & Sam 🖤🖤🖤 #colorsoundoblivion #recordstore #recordshop #vinylstore #vinylshop #musicstore #musicshop #biddeford #maine #musick

NOW IN STOCK: "Ascension," the newest LP from the NOW IN STOCK: "Ascension," the newest LP from the excellent Seattle deathrock act NOX NOVACULA! We were blown away by their live set at Geno's on Sept. 3rd, and bought a stack of vinyl directly from the band to stock in our shop. It's beautiful blood red splatter vinyl that bleeds into black wax, and their brand of female-fronted goth rock/post-punk reminds us of such faves as Siouxsie & the Banshees, Xmal Deutschland, 45 Grave, Fangs on Fur, and many more. #colorsoundoblivion #noxnovacula #ascension #vinyl #record #deathrock #goth #gothmusic #postpunk #postpunkmusic #biddeford #maine #musick
