Brown Angel “See That I Am Scourged” video premieres today at Decibel Magazine.

“It’s similar to watching that TV show Planet Earth if it was made by people who absolutely fucking hated the Earth.”

Vid the video at our Vimeo channel, which is like an alternate reality MTV where the programming is done right, or depending on who you ask, terribly, terribly wrong.

Pickup “Shutout”, on beautiful not-quite-clear vinyl including download, from our store.

“This Saturday Final Boss get unconventional, incorporating a live human behind a drum kit. We’ve imported him from overseas for a demonstration on the limitations and possibilities of organic/synthetic elements when forcibly fused together at high volumes.

Myriaid, who expertly blend icy and hot, will offer a counter argument utilizing voice, electronics, science, and magic(and presumably, guitar).

Lawsuits will conclude the proceedings with a discussion on the place of amplified electric guitar in South Brooklyn and the long-term effects close proximity to the tool can have on physical, mental, and financial well-being.

Any tangible profits attained by the performers will be used to further pursue unhealthy lifestyles and questionable courses of action. Thank you in advance.”

ORNAMENT “A Lion is a Lion” 12″ SGG-039

“A Lion is a Lion” is the long-awaited 12″ EP from one half of the founding core lineup of long-running experimentalists/upstarts GROWING.

Following up his 2015 release Protest Music, Joe DeNardo’s ORNAMENT returns with an EP of expansive soundtracks asking the listener to dream of alternative futures, dystopias, new ways.

The title takes it’s inspiration from the common Kurdish saying “Şêr şêre çi jine, çi mêre”, a response to questions about the efficacy and equality of revolutionary fighting forces by all genders. We are all equal. We can all fight.

Keeping with an instrumentation of guitars and electronics, “A Lion is a Lion” performs like a mixtape of six investigation zones, digging into sonic territories and finding rather unstable footings.

Unique, die-cut LP jackets provide an “interactive” experience for the listener. Strictly limited pressing. Download included.

Procure from our shop HERE.

CHILD ABUSE – “Hidden in plain sight. Blatant, arrogant, mocking. Makes me sick. All protected no doubt by some higher power”
“I am horrified. That noise did damage to my soul. So creeped out. Glad I didn’t watch this before bed.” – confused YouTube users

SILK PURSE – ex Sightings

GAY CUM DADDIES – “Your parents must really be proud. This no wave/art rock band from Denton, Texas, “spews” squiggly nonsense. If you like your squiggly nonsense “ejaculated” by a four-piece called Gay Cum Daddies, well, hey nerd, I wish you the best. I cannot endorse this cassette with my recommendation.”

Pre-order Insect Ark “Portal/Well” LP now! Limited edition, hand-numbered, screen printed jackets…

Beginning in New York City in late 2011 as the one-woman solo project of bassist/multi-instrumentalist Dana Schechter (M. Gira’s Angels of Light (Swans)/Bee and Flower, Neurot Recordings), the band became a duo in 2015 with the addition of Portland-based drummer Ashley Spungin (Taurus). Largely instrumental, the band are equally inspired by experimental doom/drone, 60’s horror film soundtracks, psych, and traditional classical composers.

Creating a personal soundtrack to the human psyche’s underbelly, Insect Ark weaves a brooding, textural landscape, a starless night spiked with light and flash. The music braids together delay-drenched lap steel guitar, acoustic and electronic drums, distorted bass & synths to create a sonic mural both uncomfortably intimate and icy cold.

You’ve likely encountered Schechter’s large and eclectic body of work through her collaborations with Locrian, Enablers, Gnaw, Wreckmeister Harmonies, her earliest efforts in Gifthorse(with Leviathan/Lurker of Chalice’s Jef Whitehead), or stints with American Music Club and 4AD’s Tarnation. “Portal/Well” delivers on what Pitchfork called Insect Ark’s sense of “metamorphosis, loss, and menacing dream logic” while The Wire has stated that Insect Ark “stand in the lineage of other crypto-metal solo projects – Earth circa Phase 3: Thrones And Dominions, or ex-Earth associate Joe Preston’s project Thrones and that “a spacious, noir-ish jazz elegance permeates, approaching the atmosphere of Germany’s Bohren and Der Club Of Gore.”

Sleeping Giant Glossolalia presents:

Elder Ones

Elder Ones, the quartet performing the compositions of vocalist Amirtha Kidambi(Seaven Teares/Elizabeth-Caroline Unit), lies nestled in a venn diagram of musical spheres and communities in New York City. Oscillating between worlds of modal, Sufi-like circular grooves and free improvisation to jagged, rhythmic precision and meditative drones, Thyagaraja, Coltrane or Stockhausen could be equally suspected as illegitimate fathers of their sound.

Tamio Shiraishi/Les Ret

Tamio Shiraishi was, with Keiji Haino, a founding member of legendary Japanese band Fushitsusha. Les Ret is known for his work with Lake of Dracula, The Flying Luttenbachers, Lydia Lunch, Burmese, Cellular Chaos, Hatewave, etc.

GRID

GRID consists of Tim Dahl(Child Abuse, Lydia Lunch Retrovirus, Barrsheadahl) Nick Podgurski(New Firmament, STATS, Feast of the Epiphany) and Matt Nelson(Premature Burial, Battle Trance, Elder Ones)

Samantha Riott + Leila Bordreuil

The spoken word attack of Rodenticide’s Samantha Riott accompanied by cellist and composer Leila Bordreuil

All this takes place in a 100+ year old church in Brooklyn.
