The Decemberists in Portland (David Greenwald/The Oregonian)

16 Portland releases to pick up on Record Store Day 2015

Few cities love music more than Portland, America's record store capital, so it makes sense that this year's Record Store Day, coming April 18, will be full of vinyl from Stumptown artists, labels and visitors. Here's a rundown of how to buy local this Saturday.

Vagrant Records

1. Blitzen Trapper - 'Live Harvest' (Vagrant)

The Portland folk-rock act covered the Neil Young classic in full at the Doug Fir Lounge last year: the recording of that live tribute is due on Vagrant in a 3,000-copy edition.

Jackpot Records

2. No. 2 - 'No Memory' (Jackpot)

Portland's Jackpot Records is issuing the lost rock debut for the first time on vinyl. It's an essential document from one of the city's strongest songwriters of the '90s, Neil Gust -- the guy who held his own alongside Elliott Smith in their previous band, Heatmiser. Smith plays on several of these tracks, and the new edition will come with digital demos that feature the late musician as well.

Roll Call

3. Typhoon - 'Prosthetic Love (Piano Version)' 7'' (Roll Call)

The single will include a piano-and-voice-only version of the dark ballad -- a rare intimate moment from the bombastic, dozen-member band.

Kill Rock Stars

4. The Decemberists - 'Picaresque' (Kill Rock Stars)

The Decemberists' masterful third album turned 10 this year, and Kill Rock Stars will celebrate with a red vinyl version.

Jealous Butcher

5. Hutch and Kathy - 'Hutch and Kathy' (Jealous Butcher)

Before the Thermals, Hutch Harris and Kathy Foster made this album, a 2002 guitar-pop collection with harmonica, harmonies and considerable whimsy. Don't miss it: only 500 copies will be issued.

Easy Sound

6. Those Darlins/Diarrhea Planet 'Live at Pickathon' split LP (Easy Sound)

Pickathon has promised it would start releasing music from its vast collection of festival recordings: the first to arrive is a split LP from Those Darlins and Diarrhea Planet, taken from the bands' 2014 performances.

7. Dandy Warhols - 'Dandys Rule OK' (Schizophonic)

For the 20th anniversary of the Dandys' debut album, the group will release it as a double 12".

Jealous Butcher

10. The Phoenix Foundation/Eyelids 'A Can of Moles' 7'' (Jealous Butcher)

The Phoenix Foundation hails from New Zealand, but Eyelids -- a Portland indie supergroup featuring veterans of Guided by Voices, the Decemberists and Elliott Smith's bands -- are from right here.

New Voodoo

11. Johnny Marr - 'I Feel You' (New Voodoo)

The former Smiths guitarists, and sometime-Portland resident, will release single "I Feel You," a Depeche Mode cover -- and a version of the Smiths' "Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want" on the b-side. This one should be interesting.

Yep Roc

12. The Baseball Project/The Minus 5 'Redeyed in Austin' (Yep Roc)

The like-minded acts, which share Scott McCaughey and Peter Buck, among their rotating all-stars, split a live record from the heart of Texas.

One of Record Store Day's more limited releases, STRFKR's latest single will see just 400 copies made.

Secretly Canadian

14. Richard Swift - 'Ground Trouble Jaw' (Secretly Canadian)

You've probably seen Swift playing alongside the Black Keys or the Shins and you've definitely heard his production on releases by Guster, Tennis and Foxygen. Record Store Day sees the first physical release of his solo "Ground Trouble Jaw" EP, which originally debuted in 2008.

Warner Bros.

15. Built to Spill - 'Untethered Moon' (Warner Bros.)

No, Doug Martsch and co. haven't moved here (yet), but the long-lived indie rock group's energetic new album was recorded at Portland's Jackpot! Studios. This will be the first chance to pick up the album, with the digital and CD versions due for release April 21.

16. 'Tales from the Grease Trap Vol. 1: Dead Moon, Live at Satyricon' (Voodoo Doughnut Recordings)

The first release from Voodoo Doughnut Records' formidable '90s live archive, the concert recording's not an official RSD release -- but if you're looking to collect a piece of Portland rock history, make sure you don't leave it off your list. Don't miss our story on Voodoo's concert treasure trove.
