★8mm Records
Black Cross, Red Crescent
New Zealand's best known secret, Duncan Bruce recorded these 2 gems in 2006, and they're finally released on 8mm. this is the music i love: weird, dreamy, exotic, loud and completely out-of-its-center = free. New Zealand and Afghanistan has never been so close. 111 copies.
Untitled Space Junk
Punk rock from the year 3000. For who's already familiar with the band from Dunedin, NZ, you know what to expect: primitive drums, walls of guitar feedbacks, synth-weirdness and vocals dialled directly from Saturn. Amazing. 100 copies, silkscreened.
Urine Cakes
By using the simple equation of invitation + imitation = invocation-to-putrification, we bring forth the flakey yellow mountain called 'Urine Cakes'. Its one half 'covers' of peeinmyfacewithsurgery and one half brand new original PIMFWS discharge. Urine Cakes cd-r is a dark and undead fantasy-for-a-laugh until the invitation requires a more specific and profitable open ended disaster. Listen up! It has nothing to do with the expectations implied by 'covers' in fact there seems to be absolutely…
Live in Seoul
Two live tracks that document Lucas bleeding and screaming in South Korea. Raw, slabbed noise at his best. 45 RPM Vynil, cover designed by a girl who was at the show and silkscreened with paint and blood by ilcanedicoda. And justice for all! 222 copies.
Providence
New Zealand based Stefan Neville is Pumice. My first contact with his music was 'Pumiceraft' (Last Visible Dog, 2004), one of the best record of the last 10 years if you ask me. This new single ep, offers 4 songs recorded in US in 2006, during his residence at AS 220, Providence, RI. And it's supposed to be the new Pumice classic! Tracks sound like a beautiful mix of psyche-pop songs and near-droning rock, all mixed in a lo-fi punk style! Have a listen to the most fragile approach to pop music e…
Is Me
Nihil is me is Andrea Giotto, top notch guitarist of the punk band With Love and free time jammer with such a variety of projects like maledetto/ottave, ok/no, be maledetto now!, just to name a few. 'Is me' is his first effort under this new moniker, and it's a beautiful sound poem for bells, guitars, vocals and fields recordings. Intimate and deep. Comes in a beautiful digipack edition designed by Nico Vascellari and Canedicoda and printed by il Canedicoda.
s/t
Teatro Satanico doesn't need any introduction. If you follow the wastelands of noise and post-industrial musick, you'll already know that this is one of the most talented and unique groups Italy has ever had. This new album is another step forward into TS' pagan journey into the lands of (post) modern witchcraft, and marks a new phase in their personal approach to electronic composition. The album consists of 8 tracks, 40 minutes of heavy cut-up - hi-fi dynamic noise, with lyrics that will remin…
Split
Aka: Friends from all over the world united. Side A opens with three new enchanting songs from Matthew Mondanile's Ducktails, Argentina's Vluba provide smoke and sulphur to the same side. Gang Wizard's piece is called 'the Shed' and it's pure claustrophobia melted on a tape, while Golden Cup and Pumice's contribution is a romantic piece recorded live in Rome. 4 bands, 3 continents, 2 sides, 1 spirit! 100 copies. Silkscreened. Numbered.
Split
Following the tradition of great basement recordings on 8mm, Minnesota's Maths Balance Volumes and Baltimore's Sejayno share the tape for this nicely packaged split cassette. Six shots full of mysterious vibes and smoked abstract atmospheres are provided by MBV, while side B is one long suite for handmade instruments, percussions, voices and god-only-knows-what-else, from the fenomenal project of Peter/Ciat Lonbarde, Severiano Martinez and C Garhart. Both bands are incredibiley inspiring on this…
