Hey guys! How are you doing? Cool! Well, we've got some exciting news for you and it's that you can pre-order the new Boards of Canada album, "Tomorrow's Harvest," starting today AND that on 6/7 we will be having a listening party for the new album starting at 8pm where we will give you guys some free pizza and drinkity-dranks. Upon purchase of the album you get a drop card that includes a free MP3, video, and artwork, static cling and poster.

This is a pretty hyped up album, and their latest music video for the track "Reach for the Dead" shows why. Let the beautiful imagery guide you on a spiritual journey that leads to Origami to get your Boards of Canada fix.

Sister Ruby Band In-Store Tonight @ 7pm!


Sup. We've got a killer in-store set for you tonight from none other than The Sister Ruby Band! It starts at 7. Fun!

“Sister Ruby’s woozy wall of sound isn’t too far from the reverb-soaked shimmer of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, and, when the guitars are turned down, that trio’s excellent excursion into Americana, “Howl.” The singer himself? Ruminative and world-weary, on two continents.”

Take a listen to "I Am The One," which is appropriate, because tonight we're going to make magic happen baby. See you at 7pm.

The cat comes out of the bag with an in-store performance tonight at 7pm from Cats Who Will Eat Planets (try saying that 3 times fast).

This husband and wife duo are up and comers in the Los Angeles music scene with their awesome breed of goth/darkwave/industrial style music. They describe their musical endeavor as "...a frequency and a heartbeat of love and love's by product... hate. It is all of the above, forever evolving, and a roll off the tongue."

Take a listen to "Move On" from their album "The Macabre At Black Lake," and we'll see you at the shop at 7!

Job Opening Alert! OV is Looking for a new Part-Timer! Are YOU the ONE?


Well look at that! This doesn't happen too often! We actually have a small part-time position available here at OV!

Are you interested in becoming part of our family? We are looking for someone that is excited, motivated, likes to have fun at work, and can handle doing 80 things at the same time without becoming a stress monster. Is that you? If you are reading this then you probably know a little bit about us, but really quickly here are the bullet points:
 - We started as a small LA focused record label in 2007
 - The Origami Vinyl shop in Echo Park opened in 2009
 - Our shop dog, Ali, loves giving guests hugs
 - We have 5 people that work at OV and are like family. We buy each other coffee and give each other so many high fives our hands are calloused.
 - We host a weekly Record Club night at El Prado on Tuesdays
 - We present many shows across town with our good buddies FYF, The Echo/Echoplex, Goldenvoice and others.
 - Our favorite snack attacks are Lays Limon potato chips, gelato, chocolate chip cookies, and trail mix.

The position we are looking to fill will be a small part-time position. You will be guaranteed one weekly 3 hour shift on Sunday evenings. You will also get first dibs on all shifts that need to be covered if an employee goes on tour, gets food poisoning from a danger dog, or cannot stand to miss the upcoming Wang Chung reunion tour. We will also require you to work at events like Echo Park Rising, FYF Fest, Record Store Day, and our favorite, inventory day. You may also be asked to DJ with us at Record Club or out on the town. Yeah, pretty rough so far right?

Here's the skill set you need:
 - Knowledge of music. You don't need to be an encyclopedia but you gotta know what's up, have an opinion and be willing to share, and have a good foothold on our local music scene.
 - Retail experience. It's not a deal-breaker, but it sure is a plus if you've worked a cash register before
 - Outgoing. Fun to be around. Positive. Not a stress monger. Get it? We like to have fun times, not drama times.
 - Multi-tasker. We do a lot of different things. It's not just ringing up a customer. You may have a line of peeps buying tickets, the phone ringing like crazy. A customer asking for your recommendations. A band loading in for an in-store. And some contest you need to post on twitter. Can you handle that? Because it happens...a lot.
 - Motivated. We want someone that is excited to be here. That has ideas. That does more than we ask. We have our fingers in lots of different things so we need someone that gets stoked to work on projects and brings creativity to OV.
 - Not in a band. Sorry we love you guys, but we already have 2 of these types of people in the shop and they can be divas with their schedules (just kidding Sean and Angel!) So yea, this position will be counted on to cover shifts for them and to have another person with a band schedule to work around would be too hard to cope with. 

So yea that's about it. We know it is only one day a week. But if you kick butt, there is a greater opportunity here. We have big ideas and we need good people to help us build them. Its rare that an opening is available at OV because we love working here. 

If this sounds like something you are down to be a part of please submit your resume to neil@origamiorigami.com  We will review all resumes and schedule interviews for next week.

Good luck and thanks for your interest in being a part of OV!

Neil, Sean, Emily, Angel, and Christine

OV loves Tuesday nights because we get to end the work day across the street at our beloved El Prado for Record Club. Every week, we play the records of those who have signed up for Record Club and buy you guys beers. This week is no different, except for the fact that we've got Clairy Browne of Clairy Browne & The Bangin’ Rackettes coming through to kick it and spin the bands U.S. debut album "Baby Caught the Bus" (Vanguard Records).

The new album has been described as a "...a treasure trove for R&B lovers, a ‘60s time capsule, a show and dance ensemble concept that’s been away far too long." Don't believe it? Well, just take a gander at the official video for "Love Letter," and get ready for the best night of the week...Record Club!

It's a new week, and a time for new beginnings. Why not usher in the positive vibes that this week can offer you by checking out Philly's very own Banned Books when they play for us tonight at 7pm! Don't fight it, dude.

This group of dudes from the city of brotherly love are aficionados in the areas of experimental and noise music and we are stoked to see how this sound translates when they play live. It isn't too common to get an act like Banned Books in the shop, so come and embrace this momentous occasion with us!

Take a listen to one of the most out-there tracks titled "Eating Things That Are The Color Grey" off of their 2012 "Flawless Demo." This is going to be fun!

5/19: Colleen Green In-Store Tonight @ 7pm!


Colleen Green is awesome. She put out one of our favorite albums of the year and we are so stoked to be having her play in-store tonight at 7pm! Really guys, don't sleep on this opportunity to check out one of the best new garage acts of 2013!

"Colleen Green's first full-length for Hardly Art, Sock it to Me, is grounded in pure pop. Colleen Green's multi-tracked, emotive vocals take an enormous leap forward, evoking all-time heroes such as Rose Melberg and Tina Weymouth, with every drum-machine-tracked song awash in the dreamy slacker romanticism of California. "

Take a listen to "Time In the World" and let that guitar and drum machine paralyze you! We'll see you at 7pm for what should be an awesome night!

The Blank Tapes Release Party!!! @ 7pm


Do you have the Saturday night fever? Well we've got just the cure because The Blank Tapes are coming through the loft to celebrate the release of "Vacation" on Antenna Farm Records.

"The Blank Tapes really have put together an album that makes me want to sit on a beach with a beer in my hand and an umbrella over my head to protect me from the sun. Right from the opening track, “Uh-Oh,” there’s this kind of lazy, sunny, AM radio vibe, with just a little bit of Spoon mixed in to keep things current. It’s mellow, it’s relaxing, and it’s fun. These guys are good at what they do, but they don’t take themselves too seriously."

We'll have pizza and bevvies for you so come by! Take a listen to "Coast to Coast" and let The Blank Tapes usher in the summer tonight at 7pm! We'll see you at da' shop.
