cover image not available Pried from long years in the master's grip, this is the amazing solo release of Robi Kauker, famed game sound designer (SIMS, etc.) and notorious recluse. If you hunt sounds never before to crawl out a loudspeaker, you just found yourself an extinct-monkey barrel full. Exquisite compositions, unexpected lunges, and plummets to impossible depths. All recorded, it seems, in a teak and titanium compound at the bottom of the Black Sea.

Critical Monkey
Failure of an Intelligent Design
cover image not availableMysterious project out of the mountains of the Pacific Northwest. We've had to deal with an intermediary to get this release, what came to us was a three inch treasure of terrifying proportions inspired by Alfred Jarry's 19th c. short story "The Crucifixion Considered as an Uphill Bicycle Race." Not to give away the ending but... you don't win.

The Bicycle Considered
cover image not availableBringing horror home to roost, NVH jellies your knees with this stripped down, no-place-to-hide assault. Masterful improvisations and the unadorned appeal of shredding sound viscera, fear will find your heart for you. If ever you've wanted to see the rest of Comets on Fire lying quietly dead in a pile while NVH goes completely off, now's your chance.

Born on the 4th of July
cover image not availableThought you'd heard all a guitar can do? Reach for this bristling tangle of thorns and you'll be picking it from your memory for months. A scrape and slice for every nerve, enticing edges carefully made to hurt you.

Cactus
Night is Rising on the World
cover image not availableSound pilings against your head for pulverized insides, the best of the bloodiest. This is solo surgery from the noise engine of Crash Worship; finally, the guts of the matter ripped out and spread across the ceiling. Not for pussies.

V/A
String of Artifacts
cover image not available The Resipiscent catalogue only gets better! Here it is, the eagerly anticipated third release from Mono Pause, Sublime Frequencies maker, Mark Gergis. Lethal 14th c. field recordings cuddle with razor-scored melodies and swirled radio psychedelia. Flatline drunken domesticity and circuit murder summon a festive, fertile melancholy. Unguessable, peerless, truly a scrubber for the bloody stuff past your ears.

Porest
Mood Noose
cover image not available Rumored to have been made 30 years ago but only recently discovered sitting outside a crack in the Krankenkabinet, this is a mind-blowing composition of sound recordings plunged with electronics. Parade, piano, hockey, battle hymns—Three decades of tape sources from Buffalo, Ireland, and San Francisco painstakingly restored and then utterly destroyed to perfection. Huge, noise blown, masterful!

Midmight
Almost Clear
cover image not available Master of stage, sound, and screen, pulls out the stops and shoots all over this vinyl seven-inch... no, wait... split open the silkscreened six-panel to find instead the maddest triple mini CD/DVD/CD ever to dance your ceiling! Play all three at once for hexaphonic sound with eyes peeling to patterns of geometry, hunger, wrestling. More big fat sounds than you got skinny ears to hear it up with, but go ahead, slim, try!

Anti-Ear
Tre Picoli

Bran(...)Pos
Quaak Muttar
cover image not availableFirst North American release by the geniuses of Nieuwleusen! Secret last rites for the sane. Astounding.

Masonic Youth
Ordo Ab Surd
cover image not availableLiz Allbee plucks out her eyes and sings through both sockets in this dizzying debut of blown bits, amputated dances, and miscreant sound. Connecting the conch shell to the microprocessor to the little finger dipped in the alternating current, Allbee summons a mutant orchestral spread of plangent electronics, horn holes, and unnerving vocals. The release that launched a label.
