Tip! A Phil Blankenship/John Wiese maelstrom at maximum pressure. The duo behind LHD continue their five-year White Gold cycle, unleashing a blistering new cascade of deafening sound, desiccated crumble, and rusted shriek recorded in 2022, featuring over forty minutes of heavy electronics for shredded speakers.
Mechanical Abstraction
A scorching assembly of recordings from Sissy Spacek's 2022 ensemble tour, featuring the first John Wiese solo as Sissy Spacek since 2001 and two sets from the trio of Chris Goudreau/Jay Randall/John Wiese. Jewel case with heavy 28-page booklet.
Live In Hong Kong
Sissy Spacek is known for their extended approach to sound and performance. Founded in 1999, the group (since 2013, primarily a duo of Charlie Mumma and John Wiese) have released a broad range of work, from grindcore to musique concrète, with a considerable gulf of experimentation in between. Their performance at Empty Gallery in Hong Kong and its peripheral documentation is an example of the band’s abstracting style and approach. Recorded on the occasion of Takeshi Murata’s “Infinite Doors” ope…

Δ8000 / Prelude To Pallo
Tip! *2023 repress. Real time professionally duplicated tapes.* “What can possibly be said about these two legendary groups that hasn’t been said already? Ironically, when this split cassette tape was originally released in 1985 on Alchemy Records, both Hijokaidan and Incapacitants were just starting to share their own voices with the unassuming outside world, crystallizing a sound that displayed an immense power, but would also continue to morph throughout the years up to the present time. True…

Inner Mind Mystique
**Limited Edition of 299 copies + Poster** Along with Merzbow, Incapacitants and Hijokaidan, Masonna is one of the best (known) Japanese noise projects. A psychedelic touch, cascades of electronic noise and vocal belching mixed together constitute the ingredients of Mademoiselle Anne Sanglante Ou Notre Nymphomanie Auréolé, the double-barrelled named for Masonna. Yamazaki “Maso” Takushi created Masonna in 1987 and simultaneously he started recordings on cassette tapes and seven inches for his own…
Ejaculation Generater

Originally released in 1996, “Ejaculation Generater” manages to cram 32 tracks of Masonna’s signature vocal noise in a nearly unrelenting half an hour. The artists personal favourite in a vast discography, “Ejaculation Generat…
Entropic trash apotheosis
Tip! "Back in 2009 I had a small exhibition and a collaboration show with Yasutoshi Yoshida (one of my favorite noise artists ever, by the way) at Flying Teapot in Tokyo. I was also supposed to go to his place and record something but I got drunk and lost like an asshole. 13 years later our collaboration mayhem is out." Mastered by Ivan Fu for extra damage. Manuel's (Narcolepsia) words: "Yasutoshi Yoshida and Nicola Vinciguerra have both carved their own corner in underground, being consistent t…

Wasteland Jazz Ensemble
Tip! Wasteland Jazz Unit is a staple in the world of destroyed music. With countless releases cataloged by a literal who's who in the field, (cassettes, CDrs and records on American Tapes, Troniks, New Forces, Oxen, Torn Light, Nashazphone and of course - there was a split 7" w/ Tiger Hatchery on Gilgongo), the duo of Jon Lorenz and John Rich occasionally expand their scathing, feedback-saturated reed work into a full ensemble.

G.I.L.
A collaboration between Ted Byrnes and Sam McKinlay (The Rita), G.I.L. is the debut full length from Cackle Car. Solo percussion tracks from Ted Byrnes emulate drag racer engines idling on nitro. Sam McKinlay then takes each track and translates them even further into a distorted cackling texture. A call and response divided into 10 parts, G.I.L. reaches points of near mania, and constantly shifts into a new direction as soon as it becomes comfortable.
