Sleeping Giant Glossolalia

Oh, but it IS. Our resident krautsider lurk-unit MjolniirDXP remain as unapologetically dorky as ever during this interview we found:
http://12questions.us/2012/08/13/mjolniirdxp/

The boys played an unlikely outdoor gig at McCarren Park in Brooklyn earlier this Summer and treated the audience to a set of new barn-burners from their upcoming album.
“It looks like there are a few new faces in the crowd.”

The following releases by SGG affiliates/co-conspirators are available, but on a temporary basis. Head over to our store to stock up before time runs out.

Sesso Violento “Pacificador” one-sided LP from Brazilian/UK horde “..all the violence of the new generation of punked-up black metal, with a lunar module half-built in the practice space.” -Prison Tatt
Shit and Shine “229-2299 Girls Against Shit” 2XLP “..could be the soundtrack to that summer, the beating of rats with sticks, the shooting of girls with gat guns, swimming in a mang ridden cut and the discovering of dead dogs and maggots. Ah, those were the days my friend.” Excellent gatefold jackets with superb photography/illustration.
Wrangler Brutes “The Tape” LP This LP contains the tracks recorded prior to their Steve Albini-engineered “Zulu“ album for Kill Rock Stars, and until now only available as a cassette! Members of Oldest, Born Against, MRP, Skull Kontrol, White Shit, UOA, Monorchid, Great Unraveling, etc……hardcore pwide!
The Skull Defekts “The Black Hand” LP Before the DFX were a Daniel Higgs-fronted, hypnotic, post-everything ritualistic “rock” band, they specialized in conjuring deep drone and tone, as delivered here through layer upon layer of buzzing synth.The Skull Defekts were for this recording Henrik Rylander on no-input mixing desk and feedback units and Joachim Nordwall on Drone Machine and effects. Cover design by infamous artist Fredrik Söderberg. Impressive black-on-black woodcut-style jackets. All too limited.
Multicult “Open Fire b/w The Costume” 7″ Two of MCs most sensible offerings on the most sensible format around, the 7″ single. Enjoy responsibly.
Todd “Big Ripper” LP “It is the sound of TODD inside your house.” This record truly lives up to its name. Fantastic cover art.
Vaz “The Lie That Matches the Furniture” LP 3rd full-length from the “extremely ominous Brooklyn noise-pop band, spun off from the revered and semi-defunct ’90s outfit Hammerhead”. Ludicrously limited!
Vaz “Dying To Meet You” LP Apollo Liftoff and Deft Garlands, working here as a duo, offer two sides of paranoia overtime originally released way back by GSL and repressed in limited quantities by our German pals at X-Mist. ” …a more macho Depeche Mode covered by Midwestern punks discovering Joy Division in their first summer of cheep beer and wide-eyed discontent.” – Who comes up with this shit??
Vaz “Demonstrations In Micronesia” LP Don’t let the obtuse island-music title throw you off. This is one of the world’s finest examples of genre perfection in existence. Vaz, when this was recorded (for Load/X-Mist and Thin the Herd in 1999) were a two-piece with original members of Minneapolis goliaths, Hammerhead. Paul Erickson and Jeff Mooridian Jr. wrote the most focused batch of cold, futuristic noise jams since we-don’t-know-when. Nothing hopeful, melodic, or…anything.. but motorik and ever-forward Fargo-Moorehead desolation rock, done impeccably on Demonstrations. This is back in print. But for how long? Third, very limited pressing of 100 copies with silkscreened heavy covers. Clear red vinyl. Courtesy of the fine folks at Wantage USA and X-Mist.

“NET SHAKER / ECTOPLASM GIRLS: Mind blowing split 7″ from these two aQ faves, one side murky outrock minimalism, the other side dubbed out psychedelic abstraction. So great!”

“Finally, the first proper NON cd-r release from the warped and wonderful Net Shaker, who in the span of one song, remind us again exactly why we love them so much, and demonstrate a knack for fucked up songcraft that enables them to conjure up these bleak minimal abstract dirges, that manage to be simultaneously difficult and damaged, haunting and hypnotic, and somehow, weirdly catchy to boot.
Fans of past NS releases will feel immediately at home, the song oozing from the speakers, a murky, moodily rhythmic creep, lugubrious and soporific, a slithery tarpit lumber, the music smeary and bleary, like listening through ears full of sand, but then the vocals, strangely clean and crooned, the result something like a pop song slowed down, and melted down into a black sonic blur. Minimal and muddy and abstractly doomy, the vocals gradually growing more garbled, drifting over rumbles and drones, a softly swirling sea of hum and thrum, all wedded to that omnipresent slo-mo shuffle. Awesome.
The B side is a new track from Swedish sisters the Ectoplasm Girls, whose track sounds like it could have come from their awesome (but sadly out of print) TxN lp on Ideal, and ends up being the perfect match from Net Shaker, super psychedelic and freaked out, but still minimal and abstract, an almost industrial churn beneath clouds of heavily delayed vocals, a dense dubbed out squall of tangled yelps and croons, all heavily effected, the whole thing laced with weird atonal synth melodies, and like the Net Shaker track, the whole thing anchored by a warped and woozy rhythmic stumble.”

Hear Multicult explain(and prove with a blistering live set!) how Afrofunk, Cop Shoot Cop, The Cramps, Chrome, and Bruce Springsteen inform the mangled, anthemic anti-funk/noise-punk that is their weapon of choice. Thanks to Chris M. for having the gang on his Imaginary Radio program on our absolute favorite station in the nation(universe, even!), WFMU.

Don’t miss this killing machine tonight at Cake Shop if you’re in the New York area!

The long-awaited split single shared by Sweden’s Ectoplasm Girls, the duo of sisters Nadine and Tanya Byrne, and Los Angeles-based Net Shaker, the paring of Ernest Gibson & Erik Frydenborg.

Packaged in full-color, fold-over jackets with artwork by the bands, this 7″ serves as an essential introduction to the kraut/lurk anti-rock of NS and the gauzy, outsider pop ritualism of EG.

Grab one from our store or your favorite local shop and hear for yourself what has already garnered praise from the likes of The Wire and aQuarius Records..

One of our most anticipated releases, the long-awaited split single from our LA cohorts in NET SHAKER and Swedish sisters Nadine and Tanya Byrne, better knows as ECTOPLASM GIRLS. Both groups push the envelope of SGG’s tried-n-true Bunkerbeat aesthetic to further realms.
Ordering info soon, until then enjoy a clip of the girls witching up an outdoor stage in their homeland..

1st treat yourself to this clip that will appeal to fans of Hammerhead and sound financial advice:

Our very own MjolniirDXP will be playing this year’s installment of the long-running and admirable Total Fest with the likes of Harkonen, Sedan, Iron Lung, Torche, Dan Deacon, Gay Witch Abortion, Broken Water, Lozen, Roomrunner, + many more. Come down to the lake with us!

Total Fest and Wantage rule.    http://wantagetotalfest.blogspot.com/

We also dig the Denver focus on this write-up, despite DXP being a Rome/NYC-based band these days..

“Denver, with its plains-state grid and and sun-baked yellow-greyness, is the weirdly perfect place for a futuristic, kosmische gloom group like MJOLNIIRDXP. Yeah, all caps. Sort of fucked up Kluster-like, Italian horror dirtier John Carpenter space noise-scape, with that kind of internet non-presence that makes you appreciate a group that has no need for any of this internet nonsense.
I know about MjolniirDXP because one of its members is Mike Reisinger from the excellent thuggy hardcore group Leather Sky and Sleeping Giant Glossolalia label that’s responsible for the new Vaz record, Oldest’s LP and a few more obscuro gems. Here’s some more info about them from WFMU, the best radio station in New Jersey.

Yeah, and a Mjolniir is Thor’s hammer, made of antimatter, I think.”

This show was surely unsafe for audience and performer alike..

And here is some evidence that the “Neglected Prayer Rug Abomination” release did in fact exist:

Lame Drivers live at WFMU….caught on camera!

Jason Sigal wants the airwaves…….

…….and he’s taking them by force today as both of his bands are featured as live guests on WFMU’s Cherry Blossom Clinic with Terre T. So tune your radio to 91.1 fm in the greater New York City area, including East/Central NJ. Tune to 90.1 fm in the Hudson Valley, lower Catskills, and North/Western NJ, or stream it live on internet right here: http://wfmu.org/tt/
