Some Girlzzz Tape, Lateral Hyetography, $5

This tape is a legit, professionally printed m-f'in cassingle. Kudos for that ish; you'll occassionally see a new tape that's professionally printed, but i'll be damned if dudes are still making cassingle/promo tapes. Anyhow this jam (it's just one jam! program repeats!) hits a really really soft spot of mine, old organ drum beats, or something that sounds hot-shit-just-like-it. its a great beat that runs through the whole tune. it has a playful pop feel and structure to it, wispy, sort of high pitched vocals. I don't like using musical comparisons because i don't want to belittle or offend people or give one person ownership of a sound but this does have some ariel pink vibes quivering through the atmosphere, though the production is a lot, lot cleaner. After a bit of verse chorus verse action, there's a long refrain that builds layers and layers of voice and synth padding, which had me thinking about the effect of the Line 6 era of noise bands and their effects/role in constructing pop format songs, there are a few bands, most notably Black Pus, who are utilizing the technique exceptionally well. while i wouldn't put this tape in that category only because it's a studio recording, it does suggest some interesting approaches to the pop/noise/ambient hybridity that are occurring. Edition of 95. released by Really Coastal. Text by George William.

Treeptops, Permission/ When I was Younger LP $13

Spirited youth and the intense magnification of focused energies chart the recent zones for Treetops. Utilizing tapes, casio keyboards, vocals and a variety of other sources, the path to earth bound nature drone is firmly rooted in electricity. Like the combination of the glacial drifts of massive rocks and the movements of air, the sources meld into blissed out meditative drones: ceremonial music rising into the future to get out of the past. Infinite ancients; constantly progressing, constantly evolving. Mastered by Pete Swanson (D. Yellow Swans); in an edition of 300 copies in proprinted foldover sleeves featuring photography by Kyle Parker (Infinite Body). The B-Side features a remastered and extended version of the "When I Was Younger" 2xc10 (arbor69) from last winter.

Two Sides of Khoury, $6

Two completely constrasting sessions from long-time Detroit violin explorer/improvisor, Mike Khoury. Side one features a duet with Hans Beautow, of Melee, Russell Street, and Graveyards infamy. Sharp, sniper-like moves from violin and bass. Tons of space to feel out a bed of spikes. The second side offers up a duet between Khoury and drummer Curtis Glatter that has a kind of ancient form that flows over the tracks. At times traditional sounding, and others a beautiful mess that could be from any alien time period. Edition of 100, w/full-color fold out art.

Teeth Mountain, CDR, $8

Baltimore's Teeth Mountain combines driving polyrhythms with hypnotic
drones to create a powerful and enigmatic sound. The instrumentation is
unique: four drummers, musical saw, 'cello, microtuned keyboards and
sampler. A similarly unique musical vision keeps the sound from descending

which hosts a wide variety of experimental music.
The band tours frequently in the United States, and has shared the stage with

Hurray, I Am My Own Worst Enemy, LP, $13

"I Am My Own Worst Enemy is Brooklyn band Hurrays third LP following Dreams Not Soft Illusion (Fusetron) and Treasure Chest (Galleria Paolo Bonzano.) This one divides two kinds of music across its two sides of vinyl. Side one exhibits the band patiently spending time with their instruments, playing them a bit, or not. The result is a field of fragile rhythms and unidentified sounds, suggestions and tests. Density, volume and pace escalate and dissappear to tell the musics story. Side two begins with a concise variation on where side one left off, with the addition of a loop and a submerged metal vocal. IAMOWE continues however, with a series of considerations of pop-song structure. Melodic hesitation in the first few of these improvisations gives way to something like confidence as the band learns to play standing up. Hurray is Richard Aldrich, Josh Brand, Peter Mandradjieff and Zak Prekop."

Soiled Mattress and the Springs, Honk Honk Bonk!, $12,

Soiled Mattress & The Springs are a three piece instrumental band from New York City. The band consists of cartoonist Matthew Thurber, who plays his sax with punchy and uplifting vigour, Aviram Cohen, who lends insistent garage rock beats and keyboardist, Peter Schuette whose sprightly hooks interlock with the other instruments making for an intuitive leap into a world of upbeat imagination.

Uneven Universe, Clump Humans, Tape, $6

From the iciest mounts of Michigan’ most frozen brains come massive sounds of sax/electronics duo Uneven Universe. Dan( from Haunted Castle) and Holly (who are both in Cardboard sax with John Olson) wreck havoc on the basement, turning it into an epic snow storm of tape loops and electronics. Through the totally solid murk saxophones, harp, and bells toll, slicing their way into your eardrums in the most hypnotic way. Prepare to get zoned and frozed. In a numbered edition of 100 tapes with full color collage art and printed labels.

Tusco Terror, Psychedelic Narcosis, CDR, $8

Cleveland noiseniks, Tusco Terror, barrage the earth with their subterranean dirt worship. Having just released a split LP with Emeralds on Ecstatic Peace, this crew is ready to take their Midwestern gear slaughter beyond the realm of the breadbasket. Operating with a loose lineup usually ranging from 3-5 players all jamming in their own private zones, contributing their own part to the psychedelic nonsequitors and cosmic confusions contained within the recording. Pile upon pile of unrecognizable source contort themselves into an unrecognizable yet brutally intriguing end result. Don’t stop digging. In two editions: A( of 68 numbered copies in silkscreened, watercolored, and sewn sleeves with screened discs) and B (of 32 numbered copies in printed collage sleeves with screened discs).

God Willing, Cleansing Hour, Cassette, $10

Scum Crew member Ren Schofield plays true to his posses title with this sludge noise opus. Pure overdriven electricity oscillates steadfastly while fighting the battle for sonic purity. SK-1 tones chug toward the cliff of oblivion demanding submission from strangled guitar strums trying to reach the surface(a cause inevitably resulting in failure). Spattering waves of crossed frequencies construct an unscalable wall of crushing distorted drones; beauty lies beneath if you can dig that deep.

Tussle, TsoWC, LP, $10

White Columns has launched a record label entitled "The Sound of White Columns" or "TSoWC" for short. The first release from �The Sound of White Columns" is by the San Francisco-based band TUSSLE. One-sided, white vinyl 12"� single, numbered edition of 500 copies.

Fricara Paccu, Midnight Pyre, CD, $15

Twelve instrumental blasts recorded with a 4-tracker. Compared to earlier Pacchu releases this one has more complex song structures and detailed soundscapes. Imagine Nine Inch Nails making music for a video game about vikings and you might get the idea. Yes we know, the Quake soundtrack already exists, but Midnight Pyre is more sentimental.

Howlin' Magic, The Dreaming, CD, $15

Fascinating psychedelic noisy blues by Jesse Rakusin from Santa Cruz, USA. This is what you have been waiting for if you have been waiting for the sound of shit being beaten out of a drumkit. Also in the mix: delicate keyboard studies about freedom, warped guitar melodies, solar-powered chord slamming and fuzzed out blues solo-madness. Comparable to Blue Cheer. Includes the hit 'Mac and Bloo'.

Maniac, Turku Hold'em, CD, $15

A 66 minute excerpt from a 2 hour session from 2005. Recorded in the middle of the night after christmas - the result being the most detailed mess this trio has ever made. Bella is banging the drums naked, releasing lots of skin power. Fricara is giving the bass some feedback and Hesedelic is playing guitar very, very fast.

Semimuumio, Vamos, CD, $15

Solo debut record by Jaakko Tolvi (Pymathon, Rauhanorkesteri, Lauhkeat lampaat, Kemiallset!) Mostly sample-based partybeats for children and adults, probably not for teenagers. Call it emotional, adult-oriented beat (EMO-AOB).

Sarah's Charity, Final Ocular Distortion, Cassette, $6

Mysterious mechanized mayhem; fried meditation out of Denmark. Electricity is erupted sonically, sound-based entities converted; persistently psychedelic. Naturally synthetic technology is used paradoxically as a method of coming into chimerical contact with natural forms. Dangling metallic tones drip from the mountains, gear-heavy ruminative drones amass on top of ocean, we are closer to what is real--surreal reality.

John Thill, The Sluts, Cassette, $6

The man; the legend; the dude; John Thill. With ever-expanding infinite influence, JT brings pure pop gems to the table with purely anti-pop subtexts, and this paradox is probably one of the most radicle things on earth. Raw yet filtered, "The Sluts" is a retrospective look at an incredibly maturated man; transformations captured lyrically, but on the micro- and the macro- scale. Folk that challenges the mind, the body, and the spirit; crisping lo-fi aesthetic captive in the a stream of flowing cerebrospinal in the mind of the man that should've redefined last generation. "Where did all the good men go?" Well, they are John Thill.

Child Pornography/Silver Daggers, Split, Cassette, $6

Southern California wave-less greats Child Pornography again bombard us with two blown up bubble-gum casio toy-punk classics that are sure to get you out of yr seat (where ever that seat may be). Flip the tape over and you'll hear the recently blown up Silver Daggers tunes with a twist, remixed by Silver Daggers front man: WKSM. The remix dynamic totally works for SD, again, you'll be busting a move one minute into this side. Really just the type of monster tape that is "A Taste of Los Angeles." Although the dudes in LA totally think this is the type of shit that ruined it. Yet, no-one can deny it's epic in proportion. After seeing this brosephine pop up on best of list's as this year came to a close, I knew it was time to re-release it in a more proper setting. In a bandanna'd full color collage that flows seamlessly throughout: you bros ready to have some fun?

Jazzfinger, King Murnam, Cassette, $6

Perpetually progressing; eventually exploring (everything), imaginative runes leave the listener lost in lull. Delicate melodica melodies paradoxically coexist with destroyed clusters of sound to create a unique, individualized entity; improvisation and composition exist together as one. Hypnotically unconstricting, "King Murnam" ceaselessly crashes on the mind; limbs begin to be controlled externally, and the clock stops. Drenching the English with drones long before it was easy to, this tape is an important document in a (legendary) decade-spanning Jazzfinger.

Social Junk, Cassette, $6

Hyper-Hypnotic; electronics that'll take you on the journey of yr life-time. An almost topographical sonic documentation of Kentucky purity: meadows of peaks and pitches drift from pillar to post. Deep in the forest, animals jam these jams at frequencies only the can perceive. Secretive strings chill in the trees, while electronics escape in the wind outside. Synchronized naturalness, has time stopped???  No, just an epic sixty-minute extroverted look inward--social gold.

Diamond Lemonade, Cassette, $6

Whether it be getting out tons of great jams vis-à-vis his Tape Tek imprint or creating tons of great jams vis-à-vis Shivers + Aosuke, Ulf Schütte has defined himself as a positive youth demigod across the way in Deutschland. With Diamond Lemonade, the bro seems to be exploring tape manipulated sonic diversity. Weaving in and out with pendulum preciseness, the jams are overwhelming; lower yr inhibitions, and you'll be instantly chilled. Melodic mystery terrorizes the left-side of yr brain, the right-side of brain relaxes in euphoria. Gear-light jams never made more sense, in individually water-colored aesthetically inebriating, HEAVY line drawn j-cards.

Gay Beast, Disrobics, LP, $10

Music for Gay Bosses who use their gayness to get more out of their gay employees. 12" vinyl record on DNT, hand-screened LP jacket w/ insert.

Gay Beast/Twin, Split, 7", $6

Gay Beast split with Olympia-based band TWIN.

Nimby, S/T, $8

Nimby is Brenden O'Keefe, Iowa City long time resident, local train hopping ripper, and general super enthusiastic supporter of the local weirdo scene. Nimby as a project is focused around a home made Tupperware trash bin synth drum kit with some pedals to back it up. This is Nimby's fist release, and features big damaged beats, blasted vocals, and a whole slew of destroyed loops and distortion, totally killer. silkscreened artwork by SDReed.

Emeralds/Quintana Roo LP, $15

"Blessed waves of beautiful sounds build and decay into perfect pieces of music. From opposing locations and opposing approaches to drone, Ohio’s Emeralds and LA’s Quintana Roo juxtapose themselves with skillful perfection. In a numbered edition of 450 emerald green LPs with printed labels and proprinted cardboard jackets with an insert all from the psyched psyche of Devon Varmega."

Oakeater, Instrusion, $6

Debut release from this Chicago trio! Comprised of Seth Sher (COUGHS), Jeremy Fisher (PANICSVILLE), and Alex Barnett (BRENT GAND IS DEAD), Oakeater builds tension of malignant proportions. Dark listening environments for late night forest foraging. Early comparisons yielded BOY DIRT CAR... their first show is included with this release (which incidentally was what bore said comparison). Limited edition of 100 copies with silk screened covers.

Eric Copeland, Hermaphrodite, LP, $13

Eric Copeland is a prominent member of New York’s Black Dice and Terrestrial Tones. For the past two years, he has amassed and twisted a variety of music and sounds, resulting in Hermaphrodite, his first proper solo album. Hopscotching a free range of structures, sources, and styles, this album is unlike any other, crossing the wires of foreign radio, space transmissions, artificial vocal ensembles, electronic street conversations and lost pop music. But these compositions don’t highlight the sound dynamics as much as they let each song shake and unfold into a very open world, continually broadening. Like a good mix tape, Hermaphrodite flips the listener with each new song, engaging them to keep up, make the connections, and, ultimately, enjoy.

David Scott Stone, David Scott Stone Plays the Modular Synth, CD, $12

A messenger of powerful noise and experimentation for the kids. David Scott Stone (aka SirDss) is a noise composer and a staple in the LA underground community. Releasing records with some of today's most amazing perfomers and collaborating live with just as many (The Locust, Melvins, Thrones, Joe Lally and many more).

PUKERS, Jagger Tour Cdr, $7

Thrash/Improv/Fucked Out Pukers Invade The U.S. trolling the slimelines. Andy Spore Of Raccoo-Oo-Oon + Gal Pal, Olga killing it for The Crucial Benefit of our Arcane Spazz Fantasies. The back of this CDR says "THIS WILL KILL YOU IF YOU LISTEN TO IT IN ONE SITTING".

Youth of the Beast, Lantern, $7

Youth of the Beast is pure primitive electronics, suffocating saxophone scrawl and epic percussion. Acting as the solo output for Raccoo-oo-oon’s Andy Spore, this record is YOTB’s first vinyl offering following up a few tapes on Night People and Fuck It Tapes. Blistering vocal screeches and mixer feedback blasts meld with stray tones as brass wails and drums are pounded. Spore is a master of channeling the spirits right into the basement where he crafts his jams, creating a captivating mass of noise and psychedelic signals crossing for a painfully beautiful 10 minutes. Breathless sax solos and massive tribal percussion interspersed throughout. The sum of all these parts is something intense, unknown; an ever evolving sonic creature as bleak as it is restless. In an edition of 315 records with EPIC xeroxed double sided/double foldover (you’ll understand it when you see it) sleeves and printed labels by Spore.

NO AGE, Every Artist Needs a Tragedy EP, $5

"The soothing opening of "Every Artist Needs a Tragedy" bleeds into a gritty garage wail, get ready". Some powerful shit coming out of Los Angeles these days.

Warmth, S/T, LP, $14

Even though Warmth main man Steev Thompson still appears to be incommunicado totally epic recordings continue to surface. Before Roxanne Jean Police was officially over and Steev still lived in Chicago, he joined up with another then Chicago resident Branden Diven of Quilts/American Grizzly Records. The jams that were created filled a couple of cdrs and the Warmth side of the split with Quintana Roo on Not Not Fun. This LP consists of a remixed and edited version of the original cdr running at just under 45 minutes. Forgotten smog floats through a Northside basement. Sounds emanate but their source is totally unrecognizable. Quiet growing tonal blobs erupt into washes of aural color. A complete union of samplers, synths, vocals, guitar, organs, percussion, and electronics merge to create the sounds contained within; a loss of individual existence. Completely serene. In an edition of 300 LPs on creamy yellow vinyl with hand stamped labels in pro-printed and screened fold over sleeves with art by Roy Tatum and an insert by Steev.

Mika Miko, 666, CD, $12

CD Version includes first 7" and bonus tracks. 13 SONGS.

Mika Miko, 666, 12" One Sided EP, $12

12" single sided EP, 6 songs, printed covers.

Changeling, Beyond the Edge of Dreams, $8

Changeling is Roy Tatum, LA based multi-instrumentalist and Buried Valley Cass. Label head, who has spent time in such groups as Black Monk and Quintana Roo, while periodically providing drum duties for other LA bands. Changeling is focused around lush ambient guitar drones that provide a lot of layered feeling in their presence. "Beyond the Edge of Dreams" has a lot of duality and contrasts in its sounds. Moving from beautiful cascades that evoke ecstatic ponderance and a life spent looking to distant peaks or shores breaks way into persistent smothering washes of synth like uneasiness leaving this listener feeling quite isolated. Either way, this is a rich listen, cinematic and airy, like early Popul Vuh at its most sorrowful. Silkscreened artwork by SDReed.

SOLD OUT

Cooper Jones/Cars, Split, $8

This split cassette captures just a little slice of the Manchester/Nottingham/Sheffield area young improv scene. Total duo action going on with this release, Sophie and Kelly kick out some epic intricate folky guitar action as Cooper Jones, and on the flip side Patrick and Pascal break on some sprawling percussion and drum storms as Cars. Lots of movement here, this is a long document, capturing the flow of what these two groups do. Silkscreened artwork by Ryan Garbage
