In case you didn't get to see this crazy fuckin' thing (it's been taken down in a lot of place) here it is. It's not difficult to see the problems folks had with this spot, but it might help to ... Continue reading
Yep, I'm under the weather; no posts until I am weaned from the Dayquil teet.
I reviewed an LP Pregnant put out on Life's Blood a few years back, and it was of quality, and many hearts were broken and minds molded. Now, in the Year of Our Lord of LP Liberty 2013 we have ... Continue reading
Don't look now but I think some post-metal motherfuckers are finally willing to invest in more than a passing interest in noise/experimental persuasion. The Grasshopper Lies Steady do, anyway, while God Townes (I'm guessing that's a Van Zandt reference) remain ... Continue reading
Got a recent batch of Glacial Movements CDs that convinced me these Italian drone purveyors are for Real. Haven't had the chance to write one of those up yet, but I did want to share a track from an upcoming ... Continue reading
READ the full review of GRM Works 1957-1962, by Iannis Xenakis, HERE I tried to write this in the more stuffy, quotation-filled manner I've been seeing a lot lately and I'm pretty sure I failed to capture the beauty of ... Continue reading
UPDATE: The record is out!!! Buy a copy HERE. Has this record come out yet? I honestly couldn't tell you. Finding info on "It's Mostly Guesswork"/"It'll Clean You Out, But It'll Leave You Hollow Inside," by Haves & Thirds (apparently principle ... Continue reading
Live at Issue sample, Side B Stumbled upon this pressing and almost fainted: Four different variants (3D, marbled galaxy, stars and stripes, black holes), all handmade and unique, all crying-shame limited to 33, all 180 gram, all blessed by Matt ... Continue reading
The winner of this week's fine sweepstakes is Cyclops Reap, by White Fence. Above is the blue-vinyl (with bonus flexi!) version of the LP, coming soon on Castle Face Records. Cyclops Reap ain't exactly out yet, but pre-order ain't a ... Continue reading
Miles (Whittaker, also of Demdike Stare, MLZ, Suum Cuique, Pendle Coven etc.) initiates his namesake for the first time via Faint Hearted, save a primer EP, and lead track "Lebensform" is unrepentant as a dark, minimal, witch-affiliated electronic composition can be. ... Continue reading
[First off, only four copies of Ondan left, out of 30. Pick one up now.] I believe in Sujo (Braveheart voice), always have. My attention has been rewarded. Over a series of releases, including an LP, Kahane, on Fedora Corpse, ... Continue reading
Trying to smish-smash these three 90-minute tapes, courtesy of Gonzo & Lowdjo, into one review is foolhardy, but I'm up against people who write two sentences about most releases, so what's the difference? Besides, the trio of Noise(s) tapes are already ... Continue reading
It's so amazing to miss out on yet another Circle Of Ouroborus LP. I can't tell you how much pleasure I get from contemplating how I'm going to get $60 to pay for the copy that isn't even on sale anywhere anyway. ... Continue reading
As always, we've been hard at work over at Tiny Mix Tapes' "Cerberus," getting to the bottom of limited runs and underground artists flexing their guns. Here's the latest batch, more to come soon: Failing Lights - Dawn Undefeated [12-inch; ... Continue reading
The German Army onslaught continues unabated across the battlefields of tape culture. It started with Youtan Poluo, continued with Papua Mass, got weird with Cattle Border, and now: I welcome Holland Village, so smooth it slides down the ear rather than filling it, ... Continue reading
READ the full review of Water on Mars, by Purling Hiss, HERE Water on Mars got to me after a 'huh?' period. Purling Hiss sure beat the piss out of indie-rock as we know it. School is in-sesh. Here's a ... Continue reading
Had many of us heard this before the great post-rock boom of yesteryear we might have saved ourselves a ton of time: Within the No Age compilation exist all the triumphant and desultory aspects of instrumental music, naked for all ... Continue reading
READ the full review of Circuits, by Amps For Christ, HERE Wrote this one up awhile ago for Tiny Mix Tapes and realized toward the tail-end that it's a reissue not a proper-album. That means this fine Amps For Christ ... Continue reading
With past releases by Drainolith, Pengo, Jeffrey Cantu-Ledesma and Greg Davis you know Los Discos Enfantasmes possess a keen eye for intrigue. The small Montreal label just released its first LP (a collab b/n Davis and Ben Vida), which is ... Continue reading
Has this record come out yet? I honestly couldn't tell you. Finding info on "It's Mostly Guesswork"/"It'll Clean You Out, But It'll Leave You Hollow Inside," by Haves & Thirds, has been a dirty, rotten bitch of an open-ended task, pied-piper-ing ... Continue reading
