Art Flakey is the latest EP by Imaginary Tricks, fronted by our dear friend, Mike Visser. We first met Mike back in the late ’90s when he was asked to play bass in Filibuster at the last minute on a European tour with the Skatalites. From there, we fell in love with his own band, […]
Where Have All My Friends Gone? The 4th LP from Los Angeles’ solo artist BOYO is out today and available directly from Park The Van on a ghostly black and white color-in-color or standard black vinyl.

it’s a pop song pulled back down to street level, where it feels like a conversation with a friend instead of a message from above. That’s always been part of BOYO’s charm—the way the personality comes through. It’s a song about leaving things behind, but sometimes that can be one of the best moves you […]
Today marks the release of a record that’s become a part of hearts since we heard it. Dustin went to NYC and made this record with none other than Sam Cohen, a guy who we’ve followed since his early days in Apollo Sunshine. In Your Chamber is Dustin’s best work to date. We’ll call it […]
Out now: Nik Freitas’ delightful new album, Cavalo Morto. The title means “dead horse” in Portuguese and the album’s gloomy cover art depicts a weathered pianist chugging along at his craft while horses fall from the top of the instrument. It’s a reference to the inescapable mundanity of being a professional artist, a glamorized yet […]
New single drops today for “Tara the Android” by Dustin Lovelis. Stream it everywhere—links below! “The song is about an urban legend of a serial killer who created a robot to sing to him while he buries his victims….so he didn’t get lonely or hear the voices in his head” — DUSTIN LOVELIS
Today is release day for BOYO 👁👁 We are pleased to share the new BOYO You Don’t See Me EP.

It’s an exciting foreshadowing of future recordings and we are stoked to […]
The first single from the new record by Dustin Lovelis is here, and it’s an open-handed slap-to-the-face of rock n roll therapy.

Today we share the first single from the Nik Freitas album, Cavalo Morto. Please give “Aviso Amor” your streaming attention. An immediate Elvis Costello lyric delivery “Her love is like a potion–can’t tell when he’d had enough” is soon met by a swelling chorus and a guitar riff that begs a windows down, hands-on-the-wheel singalong. […]
In October of 2004 (yes, 15 years ago!), we were gearing up to release our first Dr. Dog record on Park the Van. Our label still had its training wheels on and we knew we had to sign some new bands. We turned to Andrew Jones and Scott McMicken of Dr. Dog and asked them […]

Stop laughing at yourself.Take yourself seriously. […]

The Alternative […]
“What is Ben Collins so afraid of?” The 32-year-old Ypsilanti-based engineer, producer, and musician set an intention to find an answer to this very question during an ayahuasca ceremony led by shamans in the jungle of Tulum, Mexico. Collins had never dabbled in psychedelics before this experience. (He jokes that his first experience with marijuana […]

SO. We’ve decided to put out some records again! It’s been since 2013, and a lot has changed. Made some babies. Lost some friends. Moved around. Changed the logo. Lived a little, cried a bit, thought about how we’d give it another go and we are giving it another go. Now we’re wiping the dust […]
