Scissors
* 2x7-inch, gatefold cover * 20th anniversary edition of Sissy Spacek's second album, first reissue since it's original release, this time as a double 7-inch in a deluxe gatefold cover. An incomprehensible, discombobulated wreck."This four-track explosion of sound had my jaw agape from the first note to the last. With minor percussive breaks between sizzling hard-wired damage, this wasn’t at all what I expected. Instead John Wiese has offered tracks that intensely re-align your senses for their …

Illdjinn
The debut release of Illdjinn aka Mads Pind Forsby consists of a series of solo improvisations on an altered drum kit recorded and processed on reel-to-reel tape.
The eight tracks are all part of the same intuitive motion and range from intense industrial noise and electro-acoustic to climatic raves and spiritual minimalism.
Illdjinn is an uncompromising, transcending and hallucinatory record that explores the boundaries of sound and its physical barriers and turns the acoustics of the drum into…

Dregs
* Edition of 150 * Debut LP from Capers. Slow and repetitive tape noise, with emphasis on noise. Sums it up pretty good. For those aquainted with earlier Capers material, those sounds are still present, but as a whole Dregs is a step in a different direction. "Sounds like someone is running a Puch Dakota through a huge wall made out of shit."

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…
The Consuming Flame: Open Exercises in Group Form
* Triple gatefold package with full color collages, and 60 x 90 cm poster * Matmos’ practice of creative constraint has made them one of the most consistently exciting acts in electronic music. The duo of M.C. Schmidt and Drew Daniel are well known for their long-standing practice of sampling unusual sound sources and experimenting with conceptual restrictions. As a couple in life and music for more than 25 years, Schmidt and Daniel have a particularly democratic approach to music making, each t…
VII
A new timley studio album from the duo of Peter Rehberg and Stephen O’Malley. Recorded and mixed during an unexpected extended stay in Berlin when the borders of the world suddenly closed. The claustrophobic urgency of this scenario is seared into the colossal vibrations set into this vinyl release.
Unlike many of their releases this is a studio record made unto itself as opposed to the many soundtracks they have made for theatre works and the like. It also stands as one of their most fully real…
Take All the Ships...
The title to this album from Tarab (nee Eamon Sprod) is striking enough in its allusions of damnation, with a watery grave a potential outcome from human activity impacting the earth. So, it may be stating the obvious that the corroded locations where mankind has scarred the surface of the earth feature prominently in the work of this Melbourne based sound artist. The residual elements of these sites become the agents for metaphor and allegory in Tarab's work, documented through field recording …
