Keys to the Universe
2014 Release. Jaws is a reality based sound and performance project by Robert Girardin.

In late 2011 Jaws released his first, the crash-informed ‘Stress Test’ on Hundebiss Records. This was followed by a collaboration with Milan’s Dracula Lewis as the Sex Boyz, a post-analogue reima…
Expect Night Work
Morphine continues to expose more destructive electronics from the U.S. underground. Four bare bones tracks from Lack that owe as much to grimy techno as they do to the late '80s industrial pioneers. "The Morphine label has developed something of a reputation for picking out intriguing talents from the USA's experimental underground, be it old hands such as Charles Cohen or newer names such as Metasplice and Madteo. The latest release from Morphine draws from this latter pool with Expect Nig…

Make Memories
Until now, Foot Village has worked in the genre of fantasy. Their first three albums constituted a trilogy, telling the abstract story of the first city formed after the apocalypse. The city rose. The city reached glory. The city fought wars. The city crumbled. Now Foot Village has returned from this world of fantasy to our own. Both in the form of a warning and hope. As always, their message travels on the sound of a horde of drums (in fact, there are four drummers in the band); their voices ch…
Decorated
"Of the players involved in the recent resurgence of fingerstyle guitar, Harris Newman has established himself as a primary envoy on the modern day steel-stringer shortlist. As with the case of his brothers-in-arms Jack Rose, Glenn Jones and Steffen Basho-Junghans, each of whom borrow from the past traditions of mavericks Fahey, Basho et al but have re-invented the sound and style with fresh perspectives, Newman distinguishes his music even further with a very idiosyncratic sound. In cont…
