Oouter Limits Recordings
Outer Limits Records is one of many, many sides of the prolific Sam Mehran (ex-Test Icicles), one that sometimes includes hypnagogic hero James Ferraro and members of Jared Leto's favorite new band, Big Troubles.

Julie
New single taken from the recent series of pop videos created by Sam Meringue of Outer Limits Recordings (aka Matrix Metals, Flashback Repository, Yoga, 90210, The Sweethearts, Foxy Baby, Explorers, etc.). 'Julie' is an epic Brit-pop track about love/suicide/reincarnation & 'Plastik Child' channels early-'80s E.L.O. with its funky shuffle and layers of synth-washes. Super addictive stuff
I Need My T.V.
The A-side 'I Need My T.V.' is a Squeeze-meets-XTC vibed track that will appeal to fans of the Rangers, as it sounds like a half-remembered lost classic from an '80s infomercial beamed onto a thrift-store VHS. 'Burnin' Through The Nite' is performed by OLR's The Sweethearts (a collaboration with Zak Mering of Greatest Hits/Raw Thrills) and rides its nocturnal groove all the way to #17 of DJ TONY FRANKEL'S NIGHT BURNER HIT CHART (circa 1972)
Foxy Baby
Surely this can only be the work of the ultra mysterious Sam Meringue (Matrix Metals, Flashback Repository, Explorers) etc. I believe at one point this guy was actually suspected to be James Ferraro which isn't difficult to believe as their work has very similar qualities. Anyway this is apparently an "esoteric glam-damaged concept record about Berlin nightclubs and foxy ladies" and listening to the tracks it makes sense. At times sounding like Ariel Pink being sucked into some phazer vort…
