Live På Autodidaktik
* 300 copies * Everyone who reads this most likely have the same reason to do this & know what it’s all about. As said in previous sales pitches - Gothenburg is the centre of the universe. It’s a bold statement, but it’s possible to make it fairly un-challenged because everyone more or less knows that it’s true. There are a few essentials pieces who give these words credibility - but no one ave proven to be more bearing, more of an essential cornerstone than Neutral. Dan Johansson & Sofie Herne…

Grå Våg Gamlestaden was released in the fall of 2014, with strong themes of a certain kind of bleakness, but with a wry smile, closely …
Future Nature (Tape)
Mike Collino, either with his solo efforts as Dog Lady Island or via the sterling Alien Passengers label, has managed to exemplify the midwestern / Detroit underground milieu of home-tapers & jammers while also carving out a unique niche for himself. There is more than enough room at this table for analog gunk and grime, but a place has been set for refined obscurantism and a more European Fluxus-derived absurdism

Suburban Lawns (12")
If your brain has a shortlist of bands that instantly evoke New Wave, Suburban Lawns deserve a slot right next to the likes of Devo, Talking Heads and the B-52's. After putting out two singles on their own Suburban Industrial imprint, the Lawns signed to I.R.S. Records and released their debut LP in 1981. While the band gained cult status thanks in part to a Jonathan Demme-produced music video which aired on Saturday Night Live, their self-titled album would sadly be the five-piece's only full-l…
Screamers Demo Hollywood 1977
** small repress available ** Black vinyl version. "These songs were recorded a few months after the Los Angeles punk scene began. These five statements of intent transcend Punk and project forward into the future: to the analog synth wave of the late '70s and beyond, to the present day, four decades later, when they finally receive an official release. Sourced from the original reel-to-reels, they are a revelation compared to the countless copies that have been circulating by multiple generati…

Muschelsammlung
Tip! Vinyl reissue (originally released by Vrystaete in 2017) with silkscreened cover and inserts, available in 5 different colour editions. When Brannten Schnüre initially released their second vinyl record four years ago on Dutch label Vrystaete in a micro-edition of 150 copies the Franconian duo’s music was still considered a hidden gem. In the years since they built up a solid international underground following and with that attention grew the demand for a re-release of the long sold-out an…

Acts of Natura
"The special weather of late spring and early summer…Two friends in a room. A table, the right amount of distortion pedals, appropriate addictives. This perfect blend pulled out not just a release, but a proper batch of three tapes, full of roaring impetuousnesss and slouching frenzy harsh noise for long afternoons". Francesco Tignola

Tumult
** This first-time vinyl reissue comes with 28-inch x 39- inch full-color poster ** While awaiting the release of Dignity Of Labour, The Ex headed back into the studio in early 1983; this time with a new friend—The Mekons’ Jon Langford—helping produce.

Is Dead - Volume One
Paul Chain was a pseudonym first used by the self-taught Italian multi-instrumentalist Paolo Catena in 1977. In 2003 he announced Paul Chain's 'artistic death' and destroyed all the tapes and photos in his possession. No explanation was given. Paul Chain has become a cult figure in the doom metal scene, but his 'purely phoentic' vocals, lo-fi recording techniques, and disregard for genre, will appeal to a far wider audience. With this officially licensed 93-minute double LP the Horn of Plenty si…
