Nested Russian Dolls Of Paranoia
Third and probably last volume from Gonçalo F. Cardoso’s most disillusioned moniker, Prophetas. Where the first tape, Reveal, Accept, Remember, Forget, revived mid 50’s ideas of weird hope (UFO sightings, suburbia, space race) and the second, Maury Island Reverie, explored early 90’s disillusionment through a sound world of mall culture, late night cable TV and rampant consumerism, this new work concludes de unplanned trilogy with a more randomised yet no hope approach to the sentiments and conc…

Official Live Bootleg No. 7

Gli Abissi Fomoriani
Il Gran Diavolato is a territory that we have occupied and that we try to explore by playing every corner of it. This album represents its banchisa and its abysses, populated by the Fomori. These creatures confined to the depths and pervaded by pre-human ideas rarely grope on earthly beaches. To hear them is human, to listen to them is diabolical.” - Louise Burgers
Louise Burgers: voice, pre-human pedals. Gianlorenzo Nardi: drums, organ, voice, pedals. Recorded through subterranean direct record…

Brown

Sprecato
First album in seven years from Maple Death Records founder James Jonathan Clancy (Italy/Canada), and the first under his birth name following previous ensembles His Clancyness (Fat Cat, Maple Death) and Brutal Birthday (Total Punk, Improved Sequence).

Spiralis Aurea Trio

Self-care
Visionary, challenging and beautiful, pushing the potentiality of organized sound incrementally ahead, Vanessa Rossetto's 'Self-care' is unquestionably one of the most engaging releases we've heard so far this year. A bristling expanse of environmental texture and incident, slowing building across its duration into a moody sonic space of startling psychological depth.
