This is what you get at the end of Side 2 of Sgt. But most albums with music or sounds in the locked groove are presented as a looping sound effect at the end of the side, usually a few seconds after the last song has ended. In this case, the effect is the song never ends. Locked groove records like the new This Is The Kit album put a little bit of music in that groove. The stylus just clicks and clicks at the end of a side until you physically go over and lift it.
People with turntables like mine, without auto-return, know all about this. All records have locked grooves - that’s what keeps the tonearm and stylus from running straight into and across the label after you’ve played the side of an album. Mine is the limited edition on green vinyl and it has something cool at the end of each side: A locked groove.Īctually, to be clear, it has a locked groove with a snippet of music in it. Careful Of Your Keepers might be their best yet. I snagged their new album a few days before it came out. They have one song called Moonshine Freeze, from the 2017 album of the same name, which makes my Labradoodle howl. Kate Stables fronts the duo-turned-band from the U.K., who create beautiful, cool alt-folk music which is thoughtful, original and inspiring.
If you’ve never listened to This Is The Kit, I invite you to do so.
