Goliath Bird Eater/Sasqrotch split 10" $11
"LA’s rep as a hometown to heaviness is backed up by a lotta props: Richter Scale-wrecking earthquakes, Vin Diesel racing an army camo hummer down Sunset Blvd on a daily basis, Buzz Osbourne loitering at pretty much every flea market within walking distance of a greasy spoon, etc. Oh, and the sick & twisted Sunn amp-manglings emanating from the respective lairs of Goliath Bird Eater and Sasqrotch. Duh. GBE is the half-decade-strong gauntlet through which Eagle Rock-based Teen Choice Award-winner Bobb Bruno gives voice to his solitary metal ruminations, and oftentimes riffs germinate in his brain/fingers for YEARS before being finally committed to 8-track tape. After a string of shaky drummers but SLAYING tapes/CDRs, he solidified shit enough to lock this timeless psych-crusher in the can. “Blood Silk Road” slow-rides a one-note rock monolith into the void before post office local (and Wilco wild card) Nels Cline steps in to wail an absurdly eyeball-shredding guitar solo that crescendos the song into a black light hurricane of repetitious death. Kill me now please. Highland Park’s Sasqrotch cruise in a scummier mindset, rolling together depraved sax attacks, freakish costumes, and even the occasional bouzouki curveball intro into their mythically hirsute spliff before torching it in a blaze of drums and drop-tuned oblivion. Their B offering, “Menstrual Cyclone,” is a fairly archetypal document of the road-tested freeform ripper they were jamming live for most of the latter half of ’07. Suck it down. Black vinyl 10 inches in printed jackets, plus a hand-numbered insert, with artwork by French electronic enigma Kikifruit. Edition of 400." -nnf

Emaciator "Coveting" LP $13
"Misery wears many masks, but Tulare, California fatalist Jon Borges has etched his mark on most of them. For at least half a decade he’s pursued increasingly suicidal tendencies under his Pedestrian Deposit guise (which is currently on hiatus), splicing subdued loops of morbid beauty against savage canyons of harsh noise histrionics. Lately, though, he’s been straying more and more from this aggressive exercise in contrasts in favor of his Emaciator alias, which draws from the same dark wellspring of bitter memories and bipolar rage but, instead of unleashing it in grand frenzies, bottles everything up inside until it seeps out the pores. Early efforts/cassettes retained a strain of buzzing nausea reminiscent of his PD days, but the last 12 months have witnessed a complete abandonment of any ties to the past. Times are still bleak, sure, but the grey prisms of brooding ambience Borges now conjures and slowly collapses convey a depth of mood and subtlety far surpassing simple signifiers like Indifference, Resentment, Remorse. Coveting collects together five exquisite Emaciator compositions (including two particularly riveting songs that were debuted live at Echo Curio last winter) for a harrowing 40 minutes of troubled solace, crisscrossing suicide guitar lines, and entranced self-reflection. Meditation is a myth; desire does not sleep. Black vinyl LPs in shrinkwrapped jackets with layout by Borges, cover photograph by Shannon Kennedy. Mastered by Pete Swanson, edition of 430." -nnf

Inca Ore "Birthday of Bless You" LP $13 BACK IN STOCK!
"This one has been a dream since the start. Literally, as Eva Saelens wrote us one day out of the clearest blue saying she had a dream one night that she sent us her brand new album and that we fell in love with it and released it. Well the dream’s become reality, as her latest spirit quest in pursuit of the inmost voice dazzled us instantly and lingered like déjà vu. An 11-song slideshow of psychedelic secrecy, rippling whispers, and private ghost ballads, Birthday of Bless You finds Inca Ore at her most lithe and longing, shifting focus from microscopic mood meditations to wide-lens surrealist romance fantasies in a heartbeat, then back again. A black-lit bedroom soon forgotten, a midnight garden of lucid sound, an LP to have and to hold. Mastered for wax by Pete Swanson. Black vinyl in jackets with collage-art by IO, plus a full-color 11x11 collage insert. Edition of 500." -nnf

Shepherds "Loco Hills" LP $12 BACK IN STOCK!
"A lot of beloved-by-us artists and artisans icepick out shapely creations from the marble slab of life on a steady schedule, but even within this rarefied realm it’s a real cause for jubilee when an individual/band fucks precedent and totally redefines themselves through a real masterwork. And, in our book (check it out, it’s a good read), Loco Hills is one such touchstone. Distilling down every fried fuzz-groove, tape-loop ghost cloud, and mass-mind motorik psychosis Shepherds have ever let loose into four perfectly sculpted jam-journeys, the language of Loco is a rolling, roiling ride through twisted wordless tongues and hieroglyphic electricity, at once more focused and far-out than anything else in their canon. Mentioning that members moonlight in projects like Meneguar, Non-Horse, and Vanishing Voice is meaningless, this is the Rear House posse’s shining achievement to date and it stands alone. Black vinyl LPs in matte jackets with the same ‘gnashing viper’ artwork of the Release the Bats CD edition. Edition of 500." -nnf

Ajilvsga/Capricorn Wings- "Rites of the Solemn Ceremonies" cassette $6 BACK IN STOCK!
"There’s nothin more potent than the movements of our earth. It aint just rumble and rip, it’s a soundin of shift. Some sorter fundamental restructuring of the plates on which we reside. Gives a source of connection. All this time spent treatin the earth like the pit for those of fallen-flesh, we done forget this significance of even havin a motherland. No two bands unearth (haha) this tectonic thunderin more adroitly than Ajilvsga and Capricorn Wings, capturing the hum and thud, the true resonance.

STEVE HAUSCHILDT- "RAPT FOR LIQUID MINISTER" cassette $6.50 (high wholesale cost/OOP) BACK IN STOCK!
"Still-moving loops repeat and build themselves in deep washes of aural hallucination. Steve is known for his work in Ohio synth-drone unit Emeralds. Like the other output from the Emeralds crew, it is hard to believe that today’s best synth music is being made by twenty year old dudes from the Cleveland suburbs, but they seriously just have it figured out. Steve’s smooth and densely layered drones, heavy in Kraut influence, are as huge as any of his contemporaries and as rich as his predecessors. Vocal incantations reminiscent of “Way Their Crept” era Grouper place Steve’s compositions on another level. Deeply thoughtful and knowledgeable zones floating in and out of reality. In an edition of 150 labeled tapes with full color cardstock J-cards." -arbor

Plankton Wat — "Crystal Wizard" cdr $6
"Having been dazzled by his Alchemy of Darkness cassette out earlier this year on DNT, then watching him fry it sky-hi in Eternal Tapestry & Bloodbiker, we at Stunned had no choice but to get ahold of Dewey Mahood and see if there was any more psych wizardry to share with us. Turns out there was, and in Portland’s Owl House studio Crystal Wizard was born. Here, syrup dipped 4-track guitar delights are fingerpicked into existence simple-like. No need to rush in something so damn noble and zen-field spare. Gradually, drums and bells adorn the pieces which funnel to greater layers of complexity, until all becomes a swirl of beckoning light and void. Limited edition of 100 hand numbered cdrs in plastic case with tripped out color art and insert card by Dewey." -stunned records

The Doom Riot — "Celestial Gates of Time" cdr $6
"Here we have abyssal eon-spanning drone from Denmark’s Claus Haxholm, who splits his soundsculpting time between The Doom Riot and Dead Black Arms, among many other smaller projects and live happenings. Celestial Gates of Time is four massive pieces recorded over 07–08 which plumb grim depths of solo circuit throttling & tranced heights of minimalist/”classic” drone weaving, cumulating with the epic 30-minute “Backup Angel Fire Sphere.” Dense swaths of crisp and crackle, endless in scope, pulling us white-knuckled and quaking through gates leading into the infinite black. For those who like their ecstatic stasis-states in the flavor of Goslings, Eureka, and RST. Limited edition of 60 hand numbered cdrs in plastic case with ancient haze art." -stunned records

Sean Mccann "Sway" cdr $6 BACK IN STOCK!
"Sean McCann doesn’t seem content standing still in the same place for too long. His thankfully consistent tape & cdr reports beam in evidence that for this recent San Francisco transplant, a solo jam is the romper room in which to include all sounds and exclude all rules. Sway presents a distinct turn in Sean’s focuses and obsessions of the moment. Tender guitar & synth interplay gives way to epic washes of white and bliss, then rounds the bend to bonked floor-stomp raga, inevitably to run the cycle again in lost languages of electricity. Totally essential McCann. Ltd. 80 handnumbered cdrs in polyvinyl sleeve with some of our favorite Ted Trager art design yet." -stunned records

My Cat Is An Alien / Valerio Cosi "Stories From The Vacuum" split 7" $5
"A truly ethereal pairing from Italy. While MCIAA has already established a massive offering in all formats, this 7"is Valerio's first vinyl appearance proper. His side is dominated by free jazz sax loops and trance vocals, with moments of twinkling percussion and electronic euphoria. An amalgamation of improv styles pulled off in a way only Valerio can. On the flip is a beautiful example of the lush guitar ambiance, wordless vocals, and alien space toy sound effects that the Opalio brothers are known for. Gold ink offset printing on metallic vellum, clear vinyl with gold ink on white pro-printed labels. Edition of 500." -black horizons

Pulse Emitter / Envenomist split cassette $6
"Two side-long tracks occupy this release. Both artists here move through dark immersing synthesized environments. Pulse Emitter provides a more barren yet varied track that has movement. Also of note to fans of Daryl's "Meditative Music" release, this has similar yet more ominous tones that create a slowly moving melody. Envenomist's side hits with his longest released track, an ebbing and flowing sea of organic synth waves. J-card is a 3-panel horizontal folding affair, offset printed silver on black linen paper, clear labels. Edition of 150 on hi-bias chrome tapes." -black horizons

Anakrid - "Crash your Putrid Minds" cassette $6
""Confused alien clockwork music on this release". Thick and strange beats fill both sides of this tape, always floating in a thick synth syrup and filled with finely crafted loops.

Hand made j-card in the same style as the previous Anakrid tape, color labels in an edition of 100 on hi-bias chrome tapes." -black horizons

Kites "Recycled Music" cassette $4
RRR Records. KITES (Chris Forgues) blends percussive chug and homemade sine wave generation into a dynamic somewhere in between early 80’s electro schoolyard loiterers THROBBING GRISTLE and Sheffield’s CABARET VOLTAIRE. (not the labels own description, nor mine)

Prurient "Recycled Music" cassette $4
RRR Records. Another one-man band out of Madison, WI, Dominick Fernow basically makes up Prurient with a theme of anti-technology and anti-electricity -- with the exception of his microphones and four-track recorder. Backing Fernow's stance up is his unconventional use of banging objects together to create music; playing with live wire, pennies, frying pans, toolboxes, scrap metal, and used shotgun shells are an example of some of his instruments.

Sun Araw "The Phynx" cdr $7 *BACK IN STOCK ONCE AGAIN*
"Long Beach psychonauts Magic Lantern get ranted about a lot by us for their mystic ability to overwhelm and transport, and don’t expect that to stop soon. But in the meantime we’ve had the good fortune to learn about ML guitarist Cameron Stallones’ solo universe as Sun Araw and, no surprise, the silver apple don’t fall too far from the tree (so to speak). Spanning Spacemen 3 garage cosmos, Starving Weirdos coastal séance, and a healthy stratosphere of pan-dimensional astral feedbackers, The Phynx is a fantastic four-track suite that floats freely from form to formlessness in the blink of a third eye. A great journey into white light dirge and dead distortion blues, and as killer a debut full-length as a label/listener/fan/head could hope for. Fingers are crossed that more Sun Araw sunbeams shine down our ears again before ’08 is out. Stenciled CDRs in full-color mysterio-portrait foldover artwork by Stallones, and sanctified with a triad of kaleidoscope stickers. Edition of 155." -nnf

Sun Araw "Beach Head" LP $13
"Sun, surf, and self-hypnosis: all the core particles for a perfect Pacific zone dream-day/daydream. And Beach Head is the soundtrack, in case you were wondering. Hot on the heels of May’s masterful coconut-dub Boat Trip EP comes Magic Lantern-bearer Cameron Stallones’ latest loner luau under the Sun Araw umbrella, and it’s an equatorial escape of the highest order. Unlike his NNF debut, The Phynx, Beach Head drops the drones and cosmic distortion (for the most part) in favor of slippery banana peel smoke stacks, undulating tropical hallucinations, and crystal/coastal moods. Waves, rare birds, and swaying palms cameo in the background. Across the LP’s four snaky rhythm reveries Stallones maps a loose, blissed void of voice, island bass-lines, and shimmering sunset electricity, inviting all to drift in and float on. It’s a total hit parade, top to bottom, might as well glue it to the turntable and weld the whole rig into yr yellow convertible and park that shit in the sand. Fans of Ducktails, imaginary Jimmy Buffet demos, and long walks on the beach will sleep easy on this grass mat. Black vinyl LPs in matte jackets, plus a pro-printed 11x11 insert, with artwork by head beacher C. Stallones. Edition of 420." -nnf

Pocahaunted "Island Diamonds" CD $12
"There’s a working theory out there about Pocahaunted: either EVERY record they’ve released is a concept album, or NONE of them are. There’s good proof to support both camps. But truth, of course, probably lies somewhere between the two (if that’s possible – which it isn’t), but Island Diamonds makes a stronger case for the former. The ladies’ longstanding studio union with Eagle Rock guru Bobb Bruno has explored an array of terrains in the past, but their partnership on Diamonds transforms Pocahaunted into a way weirder, doper, and dancier creature than ever before, inspired in equal parts by Manda’s obsession with Max Romeo tropical soul and bad acid jazz and Bethany’s abiding love of mainstream rap and the Cocteau Twins (that sounds like it’d be a nightmare, right?). Naturally, the results don’t really resemble any of the influences they may have attempted to channel during these sessions, but so what? Low-lidded drum machine beats, sparse guitar chimes, and the occasional air raid siren cycle beneath a night sky of cooing, crying, and caterwauling in the classic PHAUNT mode/model. This CD digipak edition is a repress of the sold out LP on Arbor, with all new collage-portrait artwork by the band, plus two bonus tracks added on (one an outtake from the Diamonds sessions, one the unedited mix of their Bored Fortress 7” single) and a freaky digital music video for “Ashes Is White” created by part-time Pocahaunted bassist/best friend Luis Naranjo. Edition of 500." -nnf

Shepherds/Ignatz split 7" $5

Jeremy Ear "SKULL" art book $15 (real binded book, not a stapled zine or anything)
"After some 27 LPs, 48 tapes, 25 seven inches, 33 CDs/CDRs, and 4 ten inches, the time has finally come for Not Not Fun’s first foray into the great wide world of book publishing. And there’s few better NNF BFFs we could hope to share the adventure with than Fuck It Tapes/Woodsist CEO (and Meneguar/Shepherds/Woods multi-instrumentalist) Jeremy Earl. Since early on in FIT’s adolescence, he began incorporating his own loosely composed symbolist/primitivist designs into the label’s aesthetic (highlights like The Brain Band and Blues Control’s “Riverboat Styx” J-card come to mind), but constant focused labor and the endless march of new projects forced his craft into a heightened state of evolution, birthing countless killer compositions along the way. SKULL is here to pick up some of the choicest pieces from bone-yard and bind them all together. The art inside spans several years worth of work, from 2006-era obsessively rendered ritual serpents and bleeding, 8-fingered hands up through Earl’s most recent experiments with collage and multi-media hieroglyphics. Over a dozen of his most striking and iconic cassette covers are included as well, in addition to scores of never-before-seen images. Dazed pterodactyls, radiant pyramids, possessed worms, faceless figures beneath winged specters: all lurk and loom from the eye of the SKULL. 40 full-color pages, professionally printed and bound, in a one-time edition of 500." -nnf
**********************************************************************************

Robedoor/Husere Grav split cassette $6
"Two bleak teams pass the death pipe across this black lake of a tape, and the mood – at best – runs from dread to dead (or undead, same vibe). Robedoor's "Terminal Abomination" finds them grappling their recent song-form style with bass, drums, and slime, a heavy metal swamp-thing crawl that drips and riffs from the depths to deeper depths. A strident stalk across new weird wetlands. The B side is a suite of songs from southern lord Husere Grav, who operates from more of a bedroom black metal/death drone perspective, utilizing buzzing guitar, tomb tones, and the occasional drum machine plod to convey his message of relentless misery with strange elegance. Past self-released CDRs like The Great Empty and Stay Asleep have mapped similarly cursed terrains, but his five queasy pieces here are easily among his most cold and cutting ever laid to tape. On pro-dubbed cassettes. Edition of 150." -nnf
**********************************************************************************

Metal Rouge "Storm Veil/Desert Champion" cassette $6 **LAST COPY!
" Ex-Auckland high artists Helga Fassonaki and Andrew Scott first began hammering their flux-core electronics into sustained tunnels of pale fire back in early 2006, when living down under in New Zealand's thriving hive of free music freemasons. Their early documents were obscure, open-mouthed starclusters of harsh Hototogisu-heatspells, FX-heavy improv, and isolated tinkering. Since relocating to the Hollywood grid, however, the Metal Rouge matrix has transformed significantly. Recent volumes of their excellent Ephemeroptera series, as well the Eulogy For Keeler disc (on Phantom Limb), have showcased MR's increasingly controlled avant noise architectures, but Storm Veil/Desert Champion strikes their best balance yet. Both sides unfold from keening, tense beams of drone light, layering levels of expressionist tones one after the other, slowly growing into futurist frenzy, a thousand interstitial atoms of tempest noise warring for amp space. A focused and furious 40 minutes at the forge/4-track. Pro-dubbed, shell-imprinted tapes in cardstock J-cards adorned with metallic fabric shreds plus gold flecks. Edition of 100." -nnf
**********************************************************************************

KAEZM- "HYDROGEN FALLS" cassette $6
"Denmark is a place teeming with half fried organic drone crews such as Sarah’s Charity and Family Underground. Kaezm is the solo output for Nicolas Kauffmann of FU; here he channels electricity through criss-crossing patterns creating a midrange din full of lament. Nic’s drones move with static builds from a variety of sources and multiple levels of echoing chorus: airy, buzzing mantras tinged with Middle Eastern vibes and a deepening sense of time beat down like an incessant rainfall in a storm of hiss. In an edition of 100 labeled tapes with full color art by Nic." -arbor

MANIACS DREAM- "ZANZIBAR" LP $13
"Finland is the epicenter of collective music making. Under the name Maniacs Dream, members of Finnish bands such as Avarus, Fricara Pacchu, Kemialliset Ystävät, and more come together to create blown out free rock. Their unique/bizarre approach to music making, constantly questioning the construction/deconstruction of sound creates songs at times recalling the electro acoustic clatter drone of Avarus crossed with tribal rhythms and intergalactic kraut rock guitar zones. Total sonic freedom with a punk ethos directly influenced by a trip to Zanzibar prior to recording this record (which is a reissue of the long sold out tape originally released on Lal Lal Lal in 2006). In an edition of 450 records on light blue vinyl with printed labels and full color proprinted foldover sleeves with art by Benjamin Bergman and an insert." -arbor
*******************************************************************************

SUN ARAW- "Boat Trip"- 12" $13
"Boat Trip might be some hidden soundtrack to Donkey Kong warp-whistling straight into Ayahuasca Country. In about twenty minutes Sun Araw manages to navigate a psychedelic jungle cruise through canopy din & spooked drone, then he noses the boat out of the water and lifts into uncharted dub-spheres. The back half of this entranced tour is like being (fortunately) trapped inside an old Upsetters jam played at half-speed with twice the shaman-chant and reverb drenched percussion. Normally we wouldn't trust taking this kind of trip with just anybody, but with wheel and rudder alike in the hands of Magic Lantern co-captain Cameron Stallones, we can sip our yage-of-choice in peace and share the Sun Araw vision as one. Originally issued on Stunned Records as a limited CDR, here it gets the deluxe vinyl treatment. Limited to 500 on black vinyl." -woodsist

pocahaunted / robedoor "hunted gathering" 2xCD $18
"There's a savage battle raging in the hallowed streets of Los Angeles, being fought by prehistoric megaliths spewing lava from their mouths. These acid-tongued shamans are interested in one thing and one thing only, and that's to raze this city to the ground. Okay, perhaps it's not so apocalyptic, but hot off the heels of opening for Sonic Youth, dirt worshipers Robedoor and their native sisters Pocahaunted have unleashed an army for the ages with "Hunted Gathering." Drones painted with black holes collapse under their own weight while the archangelic voices of Pocahaunted birth a brand new world of spirit decay. "Hunted Gathering" is both a split release and a collaboration. Each band offers up their own malfeasance while collaborating on the epic final eponymous track. The union of these two groups is a natural combination. Two members are married and run the Not Not Fun label together and they share amps and practice space, for example. But there's also something about both that is visceral and raw. Robedoor's subsonic doom is washed down with a smooth chaser of Pocahaunted's reverberating soul sounds. Recorded by the inimitable Bobb Bruno at the NNF/Bored Fortress studio space across many moons in 2007 and mastered by Yellow Swans' Pete Swanson, "Hunted Gathering" is an essential feast for fans of doom-infused drones and Stevie Nicks. These hunting & gathering songs from the Eagle Rock air also feature appearances by the aforementioned Bruno as well as Changeling mastermind, Roy Tatum. Climb the totem pole and let these mutant beasts put you under their psychosis spell. "Hunted Gathering" is full of antiquated sounds soaked in electric mud. Robedoor and Pocahaunted are your brothers and sisters in conjuring and the gatekeepers to a lost universe of sonic enchantment." -digitalis

Mudboy "Hungry Ghosts! These Songs are Doors" enhanced CD $12
" Mudboy dares you to find a suitable label for his warped sonic missives. But find one way to trap him and he changes direction and weasels out under the cracks in the wall. This is music for those who like to skit the line between light and dark, because believe Mudboy himself when he says that this record is all about the dark arts. His spells and incantations are the perfect guide through this analog labyrinth. "Hungry Ghosts" is at times hypnotic, dabbling in psychedelia, but is also disorientating like a house of mirrors. The circuit bent organ and arsenal of pedals does Mudboy well and will keep you guessing for as long as you're willing to give it a go. This album is a grower, but after a few listens you'll find yourself completely hooked. On "Hungry Ghosts," the listener is given glimpses into a whole host of new worlds. Each song is like a diorama; intricate, detailed, and totally 3-D. You'll find yourself wandering aimlessly through this mess of devilish sonic missives only to realize that once it ends, not only are you lost, but completely entranced and calm. This is meditative music for the agitated soul. Like poltergeists that haunt belfries and spires, Mudboy is never in one place for too long. This is the CD version of the recent LP on Not Not Fun. This enhanced CD contains the same music as well as a short video by Mudboy, "Othern Lights." The disc is packaged in lasercut & slightly burned cardstock sleeves with matching insert. It's similar to the LP, only more intricate." -digitalis

Ex-Cocaine/Yellow Swans split LP $13
"Two storied USA duo institutions share war stories across twelve miles of raw wax, and the rest of us are lucky enough to eavesdrop. Missoula, Montana’s Ex-Cocaine continue roping that weird rambling wind that seems to stir the soul and keep America mellow, and the pair of anthems they jam out here encapsulates the whole breadth of their sea-to-shining-sea cosmosis. Plainsong guitar lassoes around loose-limbed percussion flame-fanning, building and burning till a boss bonfire glows on the horizon, then they close out the side with a ragged and earnest Meat Puppets cover that’s become a live staple of late. Real and roamin’. On the B, Yellow Swans channel a supreme slice of psychedelic eulogy that cuts twice as deep with the knowledge that after many a summer (they birthed in 2002-ish) dies the Swan. Pete and Gabe’s DYS saga has spanned the decade and their impending non-existence will be lamented all over the world, so the more 11th hour record books they want to stencil with their electric synergies, the better for all of us.

Christina Carter/Pocahaunted split LP $15 BACK IN STOCK!!
"Been beautifully blissed on this pairing for months now and we’re amped it’s finally public unveiling time. Christina Carter has trekked around this country (and planet) countless times in the past decade plus, both by herself and with Tom Carter in Charalambides, and the constant gypsy-drifting has weathered her song-stories down into spare, spiral reflections on life, death, and afterlife. Here she lays down four perfect vignettes of acoustic guitar pattern, softly sung desperation, and dangerous intimacy. A beatific bring-down. Sisters-with-voices Pocahaunted handle the B side wax, and their two tracks span the psych-ward spectrum from doomy warpath exile ("Sweat Lodge") to octave-climbing estrogen ecstasy cloud-tripping ("Silk Fog Traveler"). Both were recorded by Bobb Bruno at Eagle Rock HQ across summer '07 and cling like cotton to the memory banks. Marbled-peach vinyl LPs in matte jackets with hooded/devoted artwork by Carrie Dietz.

Robedoor "Shapeshifter Slave" LP $13
"Shapeshifters are messengers and imitators of the gods. Shapeshifters can be divine or human. Crossing boundaries between sacred and evil, they often bring messages, power or punishment from the gods. Shapeshifting is used to gain access to the tower. They are able to turn any situation around. Nothing is too much or too little. The shapeshifter can invert a life-threatening situation into one where he triumphs. This form of shapeshifting is most commonly painless but can be traumatic if the change was unintentional; clothing is rarely lost in this process. Edited, assembled, and mastered with assistance from Pete Swanson of the Yellow Swans. Ectoplasmic cover art conjured by France's Parisse Bruno. Pro-printed black and white covers and insert. Limited edition of 425 copies." -olde english spelling bee

Ever it functions, sure leaves a rippling, swelling watermark of the solitary songmanship. Jangling in mulchy fullness, but reflecting a singular dream, apparition." -goaty tapes

Social Junk "Concussion Summer" LP $13
" The greater midwest 'hood is responsible for so much of the U.S.'s most living musics it seems like lately. Out here on the west we tend to get a bit blissed and burnt and, conversely, eastern seaboarders can fall into a condensed-consciousness that sometimes doesn't translate well to those outside their bubble. But in the middle country there's often a rawness that's honest and real and really clears the ears/mind, and for our tastes Ashland, Kentucky's Social Junk are champs at this direct, red-blooded approach. Somewhere between the Bible Belt brutality of Sword Heaven and Tusco Terror and the sticky southern electronics of Pax Titania or even recent Wet Hair, SJ navigate an interesting interzone, boiling together ominous loops, mangled sax, heavy riffs, various vocal moods (pissed, lost, aggro, angelic), militant tribal drumming, and a mess of electric atmospheres into something genuinely gripping and wholly their own. And right on the eve of both a behemoth bi-coastal tour (six weeks long!) and a brave re-location to CA's Bay Area, we are amped-as-shit to announce their vinyl debut after a million killer limited tapes and splits. Concussion Summer rumbles through noisy drum circles, hypnotic thrash, and even a couple creepy ballads, with Noah Anthony and Heather Young's co-dependent chemistry channeled into eight concise hybrid pieces of perfect/classic JUNK. High-time, and fully worth the wait. See them soon. Black vinyl LPs in jackets with artwork by Hair Police's Robert Beatty. Edition of 435." -notnotfun

Glazed Glitter "Joy To Be Led" 3" cdr $6 *LAST COPY!!*
"We here at Stunned appreciate small doses which provide big effects. So when Texas drone dude Landon Odle sent us his Glazed Glitter debut 3”, we eagerly boarded this darkened dreamship. In short order, Landon explores a few ways to drop into a lush foetal tone float where pre-cognitive memories blend with more familiar sounds located on the other side of a shimmering aqueous barrier. Plenty of detail is heard, but little is identifiable other than what can be briefly impressed upon in the suspended fantasy goo of Joy To Be Led.

The layered soundscapes here testify to a pair of improvisational artists with ears for excruciating detail – meticulous gatekeepers on the threshold of analog/digital transfer banks. Moans of plate tectonic energies lay a groundwork for the duo to unleash a wide variety of insectile oscillations and zaps of errant particle collisions. By the conclusion of the four cryptic cycles, it’s hard not to be convinced that somewhere, maybe right under your nose, a creature has undergone a magical, chemical reconfiguration.

You notice a glimmer on the horizon. Hope is momentarily restored. Warmth (aka Steev Thompson) evokes this type of scenario with his latest release. Before it's over, he gives you one last taste of hope before laying you down for eternal rest. The ever elusive paradise we've all been looking for. Now gone, just as quick as it arrived. There is no hope. Only Warmth." -abandon ship records

On "One Another" our enchanted twosome ride a cindering tapestry of guitar string propelled by other-worldly beats of oblivion.

TREETOPS- "PERMISSION / WHEN I WAS YOUNGER" LP $12
"Spirited youth and the intense magnification of focused energies chart the recent zones for Treetops. Utilizing tapes, casio keyboards, vocals and a variety of other sources, the path to earth bound nature drone is firmly rooted in electricity. Like the combination of the glacial drifts of massive rocks and the movements of air, the sources meld into blissed out meditative drones: ceremonial music rising into the future to get out of the past. Infinite ancients; constantly progressing, constantly evolving. Mastered by Pete Swanson (D. Yellow Swans); in an edition of 300 copies in proprinted foldover sleeves featuring photography by Kyle Parker (Infinite Body).

ACRE- "MONOLITH" LP $13
"Portland's tone wrangler Aaron Davis (aka Acre) has been blasting the world with his massive-but-barely-there feedback swells for quite some time with releases on Black Horizons, JK, and more. His first LP offering brings about the Acre essence quite well. Massive walls of shoe-gazed feedback are some how tamed into smooth, quintessential drones. This is not the sound of synthesizers or keyboards, but a single tone being modified and replicated into a monolithic piece. Stasis so strong it is hard to realize the power of these two side long tracks until they end, forcing silence back upon the listener: direct hypnosis and transcendental zoning. In an edition of 200 records in pro-printed fold over sleeves." -arbor

ZAIMPH 7" $5.50
"In the past Marcia Bassett(of Double Leopards, GHQ) has proved her versaitility under the Zaimph name; from the depraved feedback and tone fury of her “Sexual Infinity” CD on Hospital Productions to her delicate electric guitar and vocals waves on the “Mirage of The Other” LP on Gypsy Sphinx. This untitled 7” release further proves this fact by recalling her earliest roots in the Siltbreeze band UN: vocal mantras and delicate strumming are placed over a hypnotically evolving base of looped piano, feedback, and strings. The end result is something beautiful that twists the lines of classification, picking up little points of reference from her past bands and laying out a path towards the future. In an edition of 500 7”s in proprinted full color foldover sleeves with art by Marcia. Mastered by Josh Stevenson.

Recorded near the California blue line stop in Chicago (electric version, side A, rocking out) and then California proper (acoustic version, side B, blissed out with gospel layers). Acoustic and electric versions share the same skeleton but have different outgrowths and inward motion/measures of internal control and assembly. A very rare synthesizer from the late 70s appears for one of the first times on record on side B, before getting swept away in the fury and undeniable wetness of a gospel water celebration that quickly makes it into an awkward paper weight.

ELEKTRONAVN "Cosmic Continuum" cdr $7
"Elektronavn AKA Magnus Olsen Majmon is a Danish sound sculptor that shapes a claustrophobic, almost physical experience with haunting drones constructed from an arsenal of instruments such as clarinet, distorted voice, guitar, organ, flute, gong, harp, field recordings and percussion. The music is pretty much impossible to lump into any particular genre but there is a significant folk vibe that runs through a lot of the music, even the more experimental and psychedelic parts. This might have something to do with the ample use of exotic instrumentation, but the end result goes far beyond folk music, providing an abstract gateway of overtones that are bent beyond the world of imagination to a spiritual figure, greater than you and me." -ikuisuus

SHV is never the same thing twice, always performative, always sitting on the edge of failure and greatness, always pushing the boundary. I've seen SHV jump through a ceiling to start a set, tie up a whole audience, stick a dude in an oven, and generally just rock the fuck out always.

And me being a nice guy took a trip to XYX's myspace page. I listened and liked. Liked a lot. A whole lot. I asked for more songs and said, Let's do a record. "When?" Now! ….and here it is! Four great songs with overblown bass and drums and really cool fucked vocals. XYX has a looping sound that reminds me a bit of Hubble Bubble, but in a post punk context.

Eternal Tapestry "Mystic Induction" LP $13
" In today’s NEW new age one of the roughest audio landscapes to rehydrate and re-vivify seems to be ye olde ‘rock/roll.’ Too much schooled skill turns it to wanky puke, too much braindead string-mangling ends shit up in a puddle of noise drool. That hallowed middle ground is tough to hammer a stake into. But Portland posse Eternal Tapestry chase worms in that kinda moist soil all day and foggy night, and the two sides of glowing garden shroom-harvest they present on Mystic Induction makes a strong case for their status as psych-rock resurrectionists of the first degree. The LP opener, “Emerald Forest of Peace,” weaves a languid path through ET’s bright life as a short-lived five-piece (they’re down to a trio again now), with mossy bass and blissed drums kissing the slow-motion wah fireworks exploding above in the rain-drenched air. It’s a slow glide that continually threatens to ignite before eventually slipping into electric silence. And on the B jam (“Transcendence”), they make good on the threat of the A, riding a vertical riff into a howling storm of light and Jed Bindeman drum frenzy that leaves the rest of their recorded discography in the dust. Also marks the best use of wordless vocals ever captured on an ET track during the band’s brief window with diva Janina Angel Bath on the mic. Planet rock is no longer a cold dead place. Black vinyl LPs in fabric-collage jackets with artwork by guitarist Dewey Mahood. Edition of 450." -nnf

Barn Owl "From Our Mouths A Perpetual Light" LP $13
" Since first bearing witness to Barn Owl’s mythically desolate amplifier alchemy last year, we’ve been rabid fans/fanatics. But like lots of badass bands, BO are a rolling stone, heavy on the transformation tip, and the BO of today is an altered beast from the one that folkily fingerpicked Bridge To The Clouds and their self-titled disc way back when. And in case we’re not being clear: this is a beautiful thing. From Our Mouths A Perpetual Light burns with the sun-dead majesty of a Death Valley burial ground, all wasted waterless expanse and cracked earth smoke blowing in the dry wind. Heavy western drone revelations bleed into forlorn guitar drift, downcast percussion plods across the plain, a skull on its side lies in the sands. Evan Caminiti and Jon Porras have somehow flawlessly evolved Barn Owl into a blazing new universe, and From Our Mouths… is the first mission statement from their new spectral/aesthetic outpost, a stunning and timeless eight-song suite of grim cinematic electricity. Tune in, drop dead, rot on. In swank matte jackets with ‘four-armed demon warrior-yogi’ artwork by the band. Edition of 435 (275 on white wax, 160 on black)." -nnf

Super Minerals "The Thaw" CS $8.50 (high wholesale cost, OOP, pro-dubbed) *LAST COPY!!*
" Tracing the veins of a band’s constituent parts can uncover strange and enlightening currents of influence, history, mystery, etc. And LBC riff kings Magic Lantern have as ripe and rich a creative periphery as any other crew in the NNF matrix: guitarist Cameron spellbinds as Sun Araw, other guitarist William does the luminous Eureka, drummer Chip stars in Christian musicals (!!), and together William and vocalist/keyboarder Phil soundtrack acid vistas as Super Minerals. What’s perhaps even more unknown to most is that SM actually predates Magic Lantern by a solid few years, and have been gently unfurling fried and frayed zoner atmospheres in micro-edition CDRs since at least 2005. Due to humility or mellow marketing, however, virtually zero of these have slipped into the greater global earhole. So when Phil one day graced us with the Minerals’ entire collected works, we realized the time was now to right this wrong, and began compiling The Thaw, a gargantuan C120 selection of their most truly tripped and narcotic audio mirages, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with it. Murky sunlight string-jangle, jungle Om heatwaves, distant insect whirr, phantom flute whispers, deep drugged rainforests of vibrant harmonic hallucination – this land is yr land. Immense and imaginary. Pro-manufactured high-bias chrome tapes (with shell-imprinting) in faintly silkscreened oversized cases with double-sided full-color ‘solar ooze devouring owl’ artwork by the band.

Heatsick "Perpendicular Rain" cassette $6 *LAST COPY!!*
"Berlin-based Bird of Delay Steven Warwick has been winging away from the BoD nest under his Heatsick moniker with increasing frequency the past couple years, and each new flight seems to soar into ever more varied airstreams of cyclonic electronics and emotional wind-riding. Perpendicular Rain is his most recent convection cell, and it pits two pendulum-tilting pieces against one another for a beatific blowout of barometric disorientation. “Suspended Horse, Carousel” rides an orchestral morning glory hallucination forklift into total mind white out, layers of radial confusion overlapping in a circus wheel of entrancing electricity. One of Warwick’s audio-life highlights to date. The B, “Perpendicular Rain,” opts to flatline into more of a classic Heatsick stasis vortex (a lot like his semi-recent Reverse Gardens CS), wiring every circuit into itself till the mainframe collapses under its own wall/cloud weight. Let it come down. Hand-cut tape-labeled pro-dubbed red tapes in full-color double-sided fold-out J-cards with art by Warwick, plus a slight metallic stencil. Edition of 100." -nnf

The Returner is BR’s most recent rusted grain silo mood piece cluster and though it might be their cleanest (fidelity-wise) crop of tracks to date, it also might be their trickiest one to pin down. Range-roving from overloaded bliss-noise collectivism to haunted barn bleak-folk death rattles, this C51 stakes out an endless outback of next-generation Musics Your Mind Will Love head-melt alternatives.

Changeling "Into Great Peace" cassette $6 *LAST COPY!*
"Ex-Texan Roy Tatum has been holing up in un-air conditioned apartments mumbling out his bleak loner blues drift for the past couple years, but his most recent-ish outpourings have found him plumbing even foggier inner vistas (see Five Thousand Nights, On The Other Side Of You, etc), and Into Great Peace may be the ultimate Changeling surrendering to date. A pair of blurry, beautiful guitar meditations that tread water in the sky, rippling with murmurs and weird waves, cycling through a lost, narcoleptic wash of reverb atmospherics and mirage vibrations. A slow-motion migration from new age depths to ancient heights. Let go. Pro-manufactured aqua cassettes with seaweed-green shell art in a Tatum-designed J-card. Hand-numbered edition of 200." -nnf

The Goslings "Occasion" CD $11
"Hollywood, Florida family/band Max and Leslie Soren have been unleashing their private bouts of punishing ceremonial sludge-gaze for the past half a decade now, and there’s been some total titanic highlights (Between the Dead, Grandeur of Hair, etc). But the grunge swamp graveyard they seem to unearth their moss metal from must be profoundly fertile ground, because each new song-cycle they lay to tape is somehow even more miraculously brutal and shimmering and visionary than the one before it. This phenom holds true for Occasion, The Goslings’ newest and maybe deepest doom/beauty inquest. Eight thundering masterpieces of molten slime riff majesty, nightstalker drums, and soaring-into-the-sun female vox that crush the earth, bleed, and breathe in humid darkness. Ranging from the Slowdive-meets-Skullflower transcendent descent of “Motorcade” through to the quaking basement funeral of “Little Horn,” Occasion is a glorious passage into The Goslings’ hidden holy land. Mastered for optimal audio gravity by James Plotkin, and housed in a swank six-panel wallet-style metallic-ink digipak with artwork by the band." -nnf

DOVE YELLOW SWANS - LIVE DURING WAR CRIMES VOL.2 CD $9 BACK IN STOCK!
"The second volume, this time a collection of darker and more sinister live recordings taken from their tour in Europe early 2006. 42 black minutes of creepy soundscapes painting a depressive picture of a world going down in dust and ashes. The 5 songs all has a weird desperate and dense apocalyptic feel to them, making this a haunting and very bleak experience. Trashy dark rumblings and total coldness. Again very well-edited stuff by Pete Swanson, works more like a full proper album than just a collection of random recordings. Amazing.

The Pope "Sports" CD $8
"The Pope sound something like an kamikaze Fokker Jachtkruiser on a midnight strafing run over London. Humongous flak guns fill the sky with steel in a vain attempt to bring them down, but nothing can keep this chugging, lethal bird from being aloft. As you should know, the Pope is bulletproof, and when it's ready to drop it's payload, pulverization results. The Pope comprises two men and their wall of overdriven solid state power. They come from the land of avocado trees and Colin Farrell sightings, but rather than play Jane's covers, they go the route of mighty forebearers like godheadSilo, Karp, Unwound, and Hammerhead, Steel Pole Bathtub and the Whip as well as contemporary nut-jobs like Lightning Bolt and Big Business. Sports is a theme record, interspersed with wild soundbites from real-deal sporting events. The music ranges between triumphal and milataristic metal to wild spasmodic blasts. Daniel "Bad Dudes" Haworth made sure that this was their best recording to date, and the good people at Golden Mastering cranked it up so it practically turns itself up, once lodged in the player. At 17 total tracks and thirty plus minutes, it's ambitious and labored-over piece of work that is set to break minds from here to Bishkek. RIYL: godheadSilo, Karp, Hammerhead." - Wantage

Jacob Smigel "Eavesdrop: a wealth of found sound" CD $8
"a collection of anonymous recordings found at thrift stores, yard sales, and in trash bins over the past four years. These unaltered tracks come from audio or micro-cassettes, 8-Tracks and home-recorded records. Many of the clips are segments from audio diaries, tape-letters, the sound of road trips, fights, crying, family moments, telephone conversations/messages, or the amusements of children or the mentally handicapped. A minimum of editing or manipulation was used in the making of this album. I did not add music to the tracks (or mash them up), but instead served as preservationist (or curator) to present the listener with the most powerful recordings in their natural state. Some are funny, some are ridiculous, others make no sense. A few are so 'perfect' I can't believe I actually found them. Eavesdrop is a scattered documentation of what I call "the golden age of personal recording (1965 - 1986)." It is about the wonder that is putting our experiences, feelings, and lives down on tape. The album's ~80 minutes is spread over 40 tracks. The album includes 28 pages of track notes, transcripts, background information, and additional resources. Album art is a collage of found photos collected over the past two years, and each CD comes with unique 'found scraps.'" (self released)

Christian Family Underground- “For the Depth of Your Union…” LP $12 *LAST COPY*
"Summer 06 Family Underground (DK) recorded with Dave Nuss of NNCK at Black Dirt Studios in the woods of upstate NY. The yield was as characteristically unhinged as one might expect: sweeping electronic sounds backed with wood and bone percussion spirit-conjure. However also harvested was some new and especially tasty crop: sung and spoken song, electric guitar/conga “rock,” and an odd ghostly sheen coating the entire proceeding. Nuss comments on the session: “I remember when we were recording, momentarily leaving the studio and going out into the night and feeling it thicken like a partition separating us from this intense state of clear consciousness we had in the recording, which was like… humankind’s natural state. And then thinking about Jesper from FU, an adopted Vietnamese living in DK, and how much he resembles Michael Jackson, and realizing that across continents no man can be divided from himself. We had to make this music to provide for us some fantasy of fulfillment that would carry us through the weekend like rejuvenated suns born again climbing to heaven, after being washed in the deepest bluest sea….” Jacket by designer Susan Cianciolo and screened inserts by Stellar, NL." -Woodsist

I was scratching at something, and brooding over bad old tapes of long winded effected harp and reeds and good new tapes of pure house sounds at my new diggs, where the only thing i could focus on was wandering around vaguely with a tape recorder. The A side was recorded after a fateful exposure. My mother is a science teacher at PS39 in Brooklyn where i myself went and was young, and in the thrash of oving boxes full of utter trash i stopped home. Xol Mic dissapeared two days ago" she said gravely when i walked in. Xol was one of my favorite of her classroom stories, as him and his brother 'Cruise Mic' had a massive intimadating mother who wore cornrows and team jerzies that matched her Timbalands and boasted of her massive wealth and propensity for violence to the other mothers at every turn. Poor Xol always looked pained and embarrassed. "we called his mothers cell and she's like, 'oh sorry yeah, we all had to go to LA to return a fur coat...i gotta go...' im worried about the kid." 'Torquque binder' was recorded that night. The B side is for Tony Miller, who's room i moved into. The bass claranet is played by my pal Foxy Pink gloves.

Tête de Bébé comp. LP $9
"Ten releases ago we gave the world Babyhead, our look at the state of punk rock. The record got great reviews and was touted as what a compilation should be. To celebrate our twenthieth release, SS, Sr. put together Tête de Bébé with some help from French rock & roll luminaries Jack Volt and Seb Normal. This time S-S Records focuses on 12 bands from France and Belgium, all doing very different things to this thing we like to think of as punk rock. Of course that means nothing straight forward here. Instead this noise gets a unique Francophone twist. Bands/artists here are Volt, Crash Normal, Kania Tieffer, Le Club des Chats, Cheb Samir & the Black Souls of Leviathan, Cheveu, Crack und Ultra Eczuma, Lawrence Wasser, Lili Z., The Electric Guitars, Dragibus, & The Normals. For all of you who know that France has been turning out some of the best rock and roll as of late, this will be a much expected treat. For those of you who still cling to the tired cliche that the French can't rock, be prepared to have your world shattered. On white vinyl. 1000 pressed." S-S Records

Those names alone should sell you on this fucker, but let me tell you this: No one has given this damn thing anything but praise. Blastitude writes "The thing I like about this record is that it's not a punk comp, it's not a garage comp, it's not a trash or thrash comp, it's not a noise-rock or no-wave comp, but is indeed a punk trash garage noise thrash gnash rock wave comp (add your own hyphens), with just a toe or two dipped in the neighboring ponds of poppiness and straight experimental. In other words, it's all just happening, baby, and no one here pre-registered for a style before they had their first practice." People tell us, "Damn, I never buy comps.

Baby 63 "Quiver" 7" $4
"In the 1980s, the cassette underground was something to be into. Thousands of bands had access to cheap recording and duplication equipment for the first time in music history. What resulted was a cornucopia of oddness and wonderful sounds. Baby 63 was an active part of that underground. Started in the early 80s in suburban Washington DC, Karin Fletcher recorded a half dozen cassettes and released them to the world. These two songs - Quiver and Shark Watcher Maker - are from her first recorded in 1984. What you get is a mix of the Residents, Birthday Party, early Fetus, and pre-dance Industrial. Though the music is made from loops and primitive instruments, the result is songs, not pure noise or endless drone.

For the benefit of those outside of Chicago, the duo, comprised of drummer Chris Robert and guitar/bass/drum/mic/tape dude Anthonyy Decanini, recently teamed up with Midwestern Raccoo-oo-oon to cover the west coast with their syncopated improvisations. It is only fitting that their first release be made up of live material(recorded to DAT tape and mastered with the utmost care). Decanini creates a vast number of growing and receding loops from his guitar, bass, contact mic, tapes, and other sources which act as the perfect foil to Robert’s percussion(a serious thing to behold). It isn’t so much one person acting as the leader as much as the two creating an absolute sonic union of sounds blurring the line between free jazz and noise.

Warmth "leave your wet brain in the hot sun" CD $8
"'Leave Your Wet Brain in the Hot Sun' is a thick blanket of unsettling doom. The smell of death is in the air, floating in-and-out of range like a black cloud. Warmth's mixture of distorted, haunted synth loops, hijacked guitar frequenices, and various injections of dirt-soaked piano fuzz. Thompson's drones are reminiscent of Andrew Chalk and Mirror in the way they lure the listener in during the early stages with his quiet and methodic approach. They're soothing and soft, but totally misleading. Once the eyelids start to get heavy, Thompson runs you down with discordant, often abrasive, missives. He plays this dichotomy up to perfection, and shows an amazing understanding of composition and layering. As each electronic swirl draws you in closer, like a moth to a buzzing streetlight, you get lost in this aural concrete labryinth. "Leave Your Wet Brain in the Hot Sun" will bury your mind under piles of dust. Warmth is painting the town with a gang of spectres on his back, sandblasting diseased tones through everyone's eardrums. For fans of Double Leopards, Hive Mind, and that ilk, it is only once you're destroyed that you'll be totally satisfied." - digitalisindustries

Little Women "Teeth" LP $10
“Official BIO”: Brooklyn quartet Little Women formed two years ago to create music that blurs the line between structure and spontaneity. The group’s sound distilled from a broad range of influences that stretch from classic Chicago free jazz thru pop music, punk rock, math metal, and harsh noise. Little Women never stop pushing into new sonic territory: splitting overtones to create ghost notes, violently disassembling their instruments onstage, and attacking written and improvised material with equal ferocity. During performances band members often experience side-effects more commonly associated with prescription drugs such as nausea, dizziness, and internal bleeding. Little Women stomp all over genres, creating some of the most adventurous, in-the-moment, wrenchingly honest music of their generation."Teeth" is 20 minute piece, recorded in one long, single take, covering an impressive range of sound, and is an intense
and dynamic presentation of what they are doing as a band. Art work by MICK BARR (Orthrelm, Crom-Tech, Ocrilim, etc).Also: Members of Little Women have recorded and/or performed with some of the top names in jazz/improvised music such as: Anthony Braxton, Steve Lacy, Mark Dresser, Jim Black, Trevor Dunn, Dave Liebman, Joe Lovano, George Garzone, Chad Hugo (The Neptunes), Gerry Hemingway, Joe Morris, Matt Wilson, Michael Formanek, Mat Maneri, and Dave Koz. Members of Little Women also play in bands such as Zs, Extra Life, Cutter, Period, Archaeopteryx.. -gilgongo records

ROBEDOOR - RANCOR KEEPER CD $11
"Sunny California... yeah, right. After several limited cdr, vinyl and tape releases (we are talking about 30 releases since 2005, plus various compilation contributions!), the Los Angeles duo finally unleashes their most definite major opus to the masses. Rancor Keeper is a bleak and uncompromising trip into the nightmarish drone-rituals of Robedoor. A sinister haze of bleeding walls, humans hanging from trees and rotten corpses returning from the other side. Recorded spring 2007 at Bored Fortress Studios, Rancor Keeper consists of 4 songs with a total playtime of about 40 minutes. Comparsions has in the past been made to bands like The Skaters and Skullflower, but with their unique occult atmosphere, Robedoor will always stand on their own. No mosh, no core, no fun.

QUETZOLCOATL - "Where Are We Going Sister" cdr $7
"Quetzolcoatl drift unmoored through a barren psychedelic landscape lit by a total eclipse, a strangely greyed sound world populated by vibrating strings, haunting disembodied reverberations, and all manner of psych rock shimmer, all tangled up into deep dreamy washes of warm chordal whir. Like spinning some unreleased My Bloody Valentine 45 with your finger as slow as possible, recording it on a microcassette recorder, dubbing it to an old VHS tape, playing that in some old broken VCR, recording that through a contact mic affixed to the speaker cone, dubbing it to a thrift store tape, and then playing it back on your shitty car stereo, so loud it makes you see stars and cloaks the world in a thick grey sonic mist. Nice!" - Aquarius

Psych raga, melting icebergs of roaring drone, metallic strum and clang, oceanic melody and even a helping of pastoral song melody separate this from previous smash ups. Hardiman and Hare create these hypnotic states from the ground up, building their sound out of pure improvisation. Oh yeah, the guitars don't always sound like guitars!" -ikuisuus

And over the last couple years this “fan club” has asked me “When’s the full length?” over and over again. Well, now they can shut the hell up because the Nothing People’s first album is here! And let me tell you this, while the Nothing Peeps have plenty of songs that yell out “put me on a 45”, they have just as many that demand to be heard in long form. Want an example, check out “Sickness”. It is the kind of song you want to hear on twelve inches, and there are 8, 9, 10 hell I lost count, but there are a bunch more.

"Today is the greatest. Cause time has come for total take off.

And it is glorious. We Grow is the apex realization of every tectonic assault, wind tunnel vortex, and outer space meltdown HW have ever unleashed across the past 15 months worth of stunning CDRs, splits, and comp appearances. The A side, “A Stretch of Time,” slow-burns an ascent into explosive galactic violence, guitars, bass, and drums detonating into endless feedback fireworks. Then “Shifting Clouds” closes the album, marching a drifting riff of haze and mass into a majestic no man’s land of darkening space. A masterpiece record, and packaged accordingly.

Pocahaunted "Peyote Road" LP $15
"Evolving comes easier to some than others. A lot of the 21st century's chief underground ringbearers are happy mining the same psych-ditch for the same warped ore, tape after tape and day after day. But Eagle Rock, CA's Pocahaunted are too restless (and easily annoyed?) to sit still like that, and so spent all of '07 throwing ever weirder new figures and moods into their amplifier family, and "Peyote Road" shows the motion of their transformation agenda. The A side ritual, "Divine Flesh," stirs hand drums and chimes into a bellydancing blur of voice smoke and rhythm before breaking down into its base elements and slowly reforming. The flip side ("Heroic Doses") documents Pocahaunted's set opening for Thurston Moore on Halloween night in the wasted and highly un-mystical California desert town of Visalia. Bobb Bruno and Britt Brown backed up the ladies' blown-out but melancholy wailing wall with electronic drums and drones, and the recording treads a dim, no-fi path into a bleak and holy void.

Barn Owl "Bridge to the Clouds" cdr $7
"A couple months ago this subtle San Fran three-piece rolled into the local CURIO for a low-key night and fucked everybody up. No one saw it coming. Their Digitalis debut was great – a warm wooden walkabout of six-string finger-dancing and acoustic themes – but it seemed a bit squarely/safely in post-Chasny territory, so no one freaked. Well apparently they’ve since relocated to a darker oaken throne, cause the LA show was a Sabbathy campfire of pentagram bass grooves, eloquent electric desolation, and stripped war drums. Music for dying in the desert to. Bridge to the Clouds was the tour CDR they were slinging on the trek, and though it’s not as purely psychedelic and forsaken as their live incarnation, it does serve as a powerful pathway to the present…hovering above Barn Owl’s earlier earth-bound Evan Miller mode with foreshadowing flashes of future shamanic doom alchemy. An NNF full-length is in the works, and we can’t wait. Stamped CDRs in silkscreened, spray-painted, gold leaf stamped arigato paks wrapped with rainbow ribbon. Edition of 147." -nnf

Quem Quaeritis/Child Pornography LP ($11)
" LA is a sprawl, no doubt, but the deserts get dryest out in the sick sticks of Riverside. Ever since we first trekked out to the Pixel Palace (RIP) and had our skulls redefined, the 92501 crew have struck us as maybe the truest keepers of the So-Cal house party bombing freak-wave flame. The scene's since changed of course, but these two bands were/are the kings of old-school Inland Empire radicalism. Quem Quaeritis are no more, sadly, but the trio's jams here show beyond a shadow of a doubt why they fucking ruled. Jesus-bent weird-hop, Laker boat free-jazz, and post-political tent spiritualism mesh into a holy trinity of lunatic Americana. No genres, no rules, spring break freedom turned inside out. Child Pornography have been rocking/annoying west coasters since nearly 9/11, and their game still ain't up. Nine spazzy rants of Suicide-on-pixie-sticks Casio-babble, dumb-wave guitar shred, and helium-keyed stream of consciousness word barf. Enough outsider vibes and confusing nonsense to irritate even the stone-chillest board-short bro. In fancy printed matte jackets with face-collage scribble Erin Allen artwork, on kryptonite green vinyl. "

At times Morehucan evokes the presence of Flying Canyon's Cayce Lindner with his soulful voice and gentle nature. Yet he is subdued and even more laid back than the late, great Lindner. When Clayton presented me with this recording he said of Morehucan, "He can actually play and sing and some of it sounds rather smooth and in tune, until I come along and wreck things." I think he summed it up perfectly with that statement." -abandon ship records

Treetops/Cygnus split cassette $6
"At it’s purest recorded music is two things: basements and one track recorders. Treetops and Cygnus are a complimentary pair of basement sludge psychers armed with little more than a few effect pedals(no distortion?!). The Treetops track is a grower and coming in at just under 10 minutes one of the longer Treetops jams to date. Light guitar strumming, tape manipulations and the occasional incantation are the sole sources for “Wild Beauty”. Sky bound riffs float through the storm clouds. This track is a companion piece to the upcoming Ecstatic Peace tape, “In The Vanilla Grove/ Man and Horse”. Cygnus is the guitar/keyboard duo of Heath Moerland(Sick Llama/Fag Tapes) and his friend Glen. Heath and Glen use slow flanged strumming and haunted house keyboards all progressing at a slow-ed down pace. The second track starts out with some fuzzed heavy riffage and keyboard overload while progressively deconstructing itself to two guitars; a totally zoned out “I forgot we we’re recording” style gem. Much more chill then their previous blown out shred fests. In a numbered edition of 100 sprayed/stamped tapes in red youth stickered poly cases."- arbor

Pocahaunted "Island Diamonds" LP $15
"Teepees turned in for shanties. Moccasins turned in for high tops. Spirit fog turned in for purple haze. This is the sound of the world town. Amanda and Bethany have had S. LA metal head Bobb Bruno play electric drums on their tracks in the past, but the results of this album is something entirely different than anything they attempted before. It is less Bobb playing drums with Pocahaunted, than it is an entirely new entity operating in perfect unity. Dubbed out and drenched in the grime of the streets, Island Diamonds features the same vocal come downs and chord repetition/progression to infinity that P-haunt is know for, but with the addition of almost (dare I say) “danceable” beats. This is the record that Amanda and Bethany have always wanted to make, the crown jewel of an epic sistership. Rub soap in your eye make it red so you look raw. Recorded/mixed/mastered over a period of three months, and the effort/time shows; Pocahaunted’s most developed/realized work yet; features additional saxophone riffage by Andy Spore (of Raccoo-oo-oon, Youth of the Beast, Pukers) mastered by James Plotkin.

"This Los Angeles based duo needs no introduction, emails have been flowing in about this tape before Night People even had them assembled. Psychedelic sisters of an ancient Californian apocalypse, Pocahuanted call out some hazy echoes over the valley on this tape of blown out guitar jamming, pre-american vocal serenity, and saxophone wash and skronk (provided by Andy Spore). Another killer outing from this prolific left coast institution. Artwork by SDReed." -night people

Pink Luminous Invocation "Sings the Blues" cassette $6
"PLI have been preaching the “Peace, Love, Invisibility” gospel for at least a few years at this point, radiating sub-radar FX resplendence across a grand handful of subtle CDRs and shows, but Sings The Blues stands strikingly apart from their crouch-core past and is all the better for it. Raw hybrid soul dirges of commune lament and hypnotic mourning resurrected from dirt drums, wicker guitar, and ancient electric melancholy. Intense ballads of transformation, chains giving way to God, hope turning to flight. Two women, two men, constant sorrow. This young Danish underground pedal family have never sounded so up on their feet, momentous, musical. Break on through. An impending LP should further plumb the dark Invocation behind the Pink Luminosity. Pro-dubbed grey tapes with metallic shell imprinting in freedom-fighter silkscreened cardstock sleeves tied with prayer bells. Edition of 100." -nnf

Koi Pond - "Volcano" cassette $6.50
"Koi Pond is a three piece from NYC made up of some generally awesome dudes. Erik Roper plays bass and is a legendary artist/illustrator who does work for numerous bands, labels and publications such as Arthur, Southern Lord etc. while also playing in other bands such as Under Satans Sun and Mattalama. Pete Vogal plays synth while also jamming in Bow Ribbons, and designs arwork for clothes, David Aron plays drums, is the perpetrator for Little Cakes Gallery, used to skateboard alot, makes rad visual artwork, and jams in USUN with Mark Borthwick and Hisham Bharoocha. Despite these dudes epic resumes, Koi Pond is epic all on its own. Volcano is all about cosmic grooves, deep often minimal, endless repetitions that slowly evolve into more psyched out blissed out trances. Roper and Arons tight rhythmic foundations create the perfect backdrop for Vogal's synth improvisations. This is a meditative listen that never gets old, it just keeps grooving on and on forever. Like Neu covering Dark Magus in a Tibetan Monastery. Artwork by Dave Aron, printing by SDReed." -night people

Empty Vessel is Roy Tatum of Quintana Roo, Changeling, Black Monk, etc. Electronics sweating with overdrive. Transcending the aural spectrum with a dew inducing haze of harsh drones.

Hell & Bunny w/ Mike Khoury - Restitution cassette $6
"The percussion and cello masters who make up 2/3 of Graveyards infamy collaborate with violinist Mike Khoury to bring about a sparse and intriguing listen. Droning strings offset by bursting rolls and plucks set the framework for two improvisations perfectly evoking a mood of sinister desolation. Each side rolls on with an uncomfortable unpredictability until climaxing in the death of the composition, leaving the listener unsettled yet oddly pleased." -Night People

Sun Araw "The Phynx" cdr $7
"Long Beach psychonauts Magic Lantern get ranted about a lot by us for their mystic ability to overwhelm and transport, and don’t expect that to stop soon. But in the meantime we’ve had the good fortune to learn about ML guitarist Cameron Stallones’ solo universe as Sun Araw and, no surprise, the silver apple don’t fall too far from the tree (so to speak). Spanning Spacemen 3 garage cosmos, Starving Weirdos coastal séance, and a healthy stratosphere of pan-dimensional astral feedbackers, The Phynx is a fantastic four-track suite that floats freely from form to formlessness in the blink of a third eye. A great journey into white light dirge and dead distortion blues, and as killer a debut full-length as a label/listener/fan/head could hope for. Fingers are crossed that more Sun Araw sunbeams shine down our ears again before ’08 is out. Stenciled CDRs in full-color mysterio-portrait foldover artwork by Stallones, and sanctified with a triad of kaleidoscope stickers. Edition of 155." -nnf

ben nash - "the seventh goodbye" LP $13
"Vinyl debut for long term Blackest Rainbow brother Ben... I'm extremly happy with this one. 8 tracks, 34 minutes. Opening with a reworking of 'KUAD 9873' from his Blackest Rainbow debut cassette... bleak drones smothered in vocal lulling, and finishing with a sweet guitar piece swirling in a lake of percussion, vocal and drone. 'Nightcall' shows a more middle eastern psychedelic droning, bowing, wailing, and satanic mutterings. Track 3 is the title track 'The Seventh Goodbye', and is the most 'full band' approach of Ben's acoustic psychedelic folk jams, but this blurs into sax blurts, waves of melancholic vocal drone and writhing riffery. Perhaps similar to Voice of the Seven Woods or Six Organs of Admittance. Side B opener 'Smoke and Flattery' is the most experimental - multi percussion, echoes of whispers, finger grating guitars. 'Magnetophon Pt IV' is not Ben's recent Sloow Tape of a similar name, but a bluesy haze LSD dream, building into a drenched ecstatic guitar drone. Following this is 'What Will Always Be Pt.II' which is reminiscent of Jack Rose, or James Blackshaw, the most beautiful composition on the LP. This bleeds into the final surrealness of 'Angel No. 7' field recordings, bleak, fearful and empty. I'm honoured to release this gem. Limited to 250 hand numbered copies on virgin vinyl, with black, white and red pasted on covers, plus a black and white insert. All artwork designed by Darryl Norsen who designed our (VxPxC) sleeve, and done a few beauties for Important records, as well as posters for Sunburned, Six Organs, Hush Arbors, Magik Markers and more." -blackest rainbow

"Whether it be getting out tons of great jams vis-à-vis his Tape Tek imprint or creating tons of great jams vis-à-vis Shivers + Aosuke, Ulf Schütte has defined himself as a positive youth demigod across the way in Deutschland. With Diamond Lemonade, the bro seems to be exploring tape manipulated sonic diversity. Weaving in and out with pendulum preciseness, the jams are overwhelming; lower yr inhibitions, and you'll be instantly chilled. Melodic mystery terrorizes the left-side of yr brain, the right-side of brain relaxes in euphoria. Gear-light jams never made more sense, in individually water-colored aesthetically inebriating, HEAVY line drawn j-cards. [75] " -jk tapes

Shepherds w/Shawn Reed "Eyes of the World" cassette $7 ("REAL" CS!)
"Named (maybe?) after some not-too-noteworthy Grateful Dead hoedown (off the Wake of the Flood LP, FYI), Eyes of the World here means the banner-in-the-sky under which Brooklyn’s tenders of the wandering psych flock, Shepherds, communed with Raccoo-oo-oon’s singer/shredder Shawn Reed for a C50-something of carefully cultivated rhythmic primitivism and early man ghost-chanting. Non-Horse-play tape loops spool in the shadows while J Earl percussion flashes light on cave art corridors of SK1 wave-walking and Christian’s stringed psycho-babble. Hold hands in the flames of the fire till your eyes are radiant with Right Now. Live and learn: regression is progression. Pro-manufactured-and-mastered orange tapes with full-color double-sided fold-out J-cards group-designed/drawn/written by Jeremy Earl, Shawn Reed, and Gabriel Lucas Crane. Edition of 200." nnf

Loosers "Logic On Its Head" 10" $10
"Portugal’s greatest export (besides cork and textiles) continues its
dusky, creeping bleed of six-limbed psychedelic windmilling. Loosers have always excelled at ripping strange spatial curvatures out of drums, electronics, and exotic moods, and Logic On Its Head serves up two more classic black platters of sidelight ritualism. The A drapes incense and chimes atop an old copper bowl of ringing tones and tentacle percussion fusion that slow-burns a sweet smoke you never wanna exhale. Don’t. The B, “Daeh Sti No Cigol,” is even more perverse, as backwards as its title and dusty as a mosque. Sudden gestures flutter in the dusk and the sky turns purple. Really commanding and liberated in a way few improv outfits achieve so easily. Impending double LPs on Eclipse and Qbico should only escalate their visionary aura. Two-color silkscreening on fabric-photocopied, hand-stamped sleeves. Black vinyl. Edition of 340. Co-released with the crew at Woodsist." -nnf

Pukers "Beach Cop" cassette $6
"”Where are you going, what are you doing, you’re doing a bad job, you’re doing a bad job.” Lyrics like these – and song titles like “Look at Me” and “Don’t Look at Me” – are what elevate Pukers’ meta-thrash into an even wilder arena of high art internal debate. Beach cops aren’t the only law enforcers brought to task on this savage C32; bike cops and park cops get equally brutalized. Since semi-temporarily relocating to Culver City/LA, Pukers have ditched the dead dog worship for a more conceptual crowd-surf across the polluted waters of stream-of-songciousness. The results are sick and blazing. Especially seeing as how the A-side finds Britt sitting in on electric axe for a session while the B stars Manda’s intuitive six-string synergies. This is some supergroup shit. Cardstock fold-out J-card in a case stuck with weirdo foam shapes. Edition of 100." -nnf

Evan Miller/Gown split cassette $6
"The power is out. The power is back. This tape juxtaposes two expert guitarists against each other on the natural A/B boundaries of the cassette medium. Iowa’s own Evan Miller creates long drifting ragas (or as he like to call them, spells) of acoustic guitar work akin to contemporaries such as Fahey and Rose, but strays from their “minstrel in the country” vibe and going more towards “a fisherman on the wharf” style. Even though there are no words, the emotion and story of his songs are obvious. “Specter” was recorded during a storm adding an ominous atmospheric quality to the meandering spell. On the flip side, Gown creates sky high electric guitar drones similar to his work in Bark Haze, but his presence in the solo setting adds a particularly nice clarity to his work; much less of an overload leaving more time to really soak into the jam. “Pigeon Church” is one of his first recordings since leaving his internship at Ecstatic Peace and moving up to rural Maccan, Nova Scotia. In a numbered edition of 100 tapes in 3 color silkscreened sleeves with tape labels and an insert."- arbor

Ettrick "Feeders of Ravens" LP $11
"Prepare for sudden death. San Francisco brutalizers Ettrick finally deliver the full-length destruction they've been threatening for so long now. Feeders of Ravens is definitely the most potent collection of harsh jazz violence the duo's ever laid to tape, showcasing all their classic kill-moves: slaughtering saxophone dialogues, jittery percussive fits, raging horn/drum self-annihilation, etc. What escalates their improv attacks above just blind frenzy is the warped telepathy Jacob Heule and Jay Korber exhibit in their playing, wordlessly intuiting one another's energy upswings and downturns. And nowhere is this psychic connection more apparent (and demonic) than on "Raven Harvest,” the LP's final onslaught. Searing sax blasts burn through the ear drum, giving way to splatter paint percussion flailings and scraping metal, which then slowly take shape, coagulating into a dense, aggressive avalanche of pummeling, white-hot drum rapture. Life into death into life. Black LPs in pro-printed jackets with majestically sinuous, Haida-style cover art (and memento mori raven back art). Limited to 350." -nnf

Belly Boat "Dear Robert Hanoy" CD $8
All aboard, gang. After 23 months of back-and-forth and waiting/wondering, Zoe and Silvie have finally docked the debut Belly Boat album in NNF harbor, and we are BEYOND happy about it. Dear Robert Hanoy is a scratchy, expansive masterpiece, 14 sung songs of outsider ragtime, rambling European café waltz, and charismatic lyrical chemistry. Influenced equally by Cocorosie, Celine Dion, and Chamillionaire (circa “Ridin’ Dirty”), BB weave piano, accordion, and dueling voices into a freaky, frayed woolen mitten of strange emotions. Put it on, feel weird, throw a snowball. This is a storybook soundtrack for barefoot exploration and natural wonder, culled from years of face-painting, taking pictures of horses, and making best friends laugh. CDs come with full-color 8-panel booklets of artwork by Belly Boat, in sleeves sewn with grunge flannel, strung with grey yarn/clear beads, and flecked with gold dust. Limited to 500.

Barrabarracuda "Abasement Tapes" cdr $7
" Confusion is hex. Or worse. Digging around in the BBC vaults yields a lot of dubbed-over Aerosmith tapes and scrawled notes like “chaos jam – LOUD.” Factor in the steady membership flux and restless vibe/sound shifts and you’ve got an archivist’s nightmare on your hands. But here it is anyway. Abasement Tapes spans the band’s last 15 foggy months, culling fucked cuts from early Grace-phase, dual-drummer, post-political, microphone assault all the way to relatively recent Roy-era, stoned-free, art-rant amp-songs. Five tracks, fifty minutes, a thousand years of historical/celebrity shit-talking. Neon stenciled CDRs in black plastic cases with full-color wrap-around collage covers (artwork by Manda), affixed with weird beaded safety pins, plus a stenciled, hand-numbered insert.

"Sometimes the roses grow close to home, right outside your window. We in Los Angeles are proud to have this
phenomenal duo making their triumphant and terrifying tones in our backyard. Andrew Scott and Helga Fassonaki are
true creators of sonic thickness, merging razor strings with buzzing overdriven fuzz, but also laying back to a deep
silence and imaginary pulses. 'Eulogy for Keeler' is a document of their trip to the American desert and the ghost towns within. It is a photograph taken with these phantoms, an interview with the forgotten and voiceless dead. Stamped image on a folded arrigato pack." -Phantom Limb Recordings

"For most of us, the doors of perception are triple-bolted shut and cast in bomb-proof iron. Only supernatural shapeshifters (or career criminals) can slip through and seize the wisdom within. But, sweetly, there is a hidden entrance: musick-as-magick. Providence, RI patch-cable conjuror Mudboy is one such secret key-crafter and his unlocking labors on this long-player stand at the summit of his already awesome discography. Alchemizing stylized soundtrack spells, organ wizardry, melodic mind-reading, and elegantly meditative harmonium hallucinations, Hungry Ghosts! These Songs Are Doors lights an urn’s worth of ritual powders and powers, filling the speakers with a sign language of smoke runes and ghost tones. Lie on the floor and be floored by Mudboy’s primordial plainsongs. Record comes housed in a dizzyingly intricate laser die-cut fold-over cover with an acutely aligned flame-silkscreened inner sleeve. Painstaking and perfect. Half on blood-red wax, half on black. Limited to 500." -nnf

Time Life "Drumlins" 7" $5
"To those not well versed in the studies of esoteric land mass terminology, the word “drumlin” might be pure WTF. But to Heidi Diehl and G. Lucas “Non-Horse” Crane it’s the key to a musty trunk ripe with memories, magic, mystery. In plain terms it describes a specific sort of glacially-carved hillock endemic to upstate NY (and Antarctica and Greece) which in recent years and regions have been utilized as dumping grounds for mining town industrial slag. A childhood spent summering on such junkyard drumlins spawned the strange smoggy swan-songs of Drumlins, Time Life’s vinyl debut. Decaying tape loops rumble beneath somberly sung lyrical riddles and bowed-string tonal arcs. Electric Appalachian regression fantasies. Metal mountain music. All of this and more (more or less). Black vinyl 7 inches with snowflake stickers in hand-cut full-color cardstock fold-over sleeves with drumlin collage by Manda and adorned with 2 pairs of (the hills have) eyes. Edition of 252." -nnf

Uncanny ex-men (and woman) aktivity. More metallic than Axial and far hungrier than Future Bread, Riven resonates like a dead bell in a buried valley, ringing, subterranean, wasted, industrial.

Heavy Winged/Taiga Remains split LP $13
"Sky of blue and sea of green, in our yellow methedrine. Unnatural energies harnessed into a new universe of planetary tumult and astral injection courtesy of bi-coastal frequent flyers Heavy Winged and sultan of Cincinnati solitude, Taiga Remains. Pure planar schizophrenia carved into perfect circles of fool’s glass. The Winged’s war, “Witches Cradle,” immolates a levitating altar of prehistoric granite into an ashen mass that blocks out the light from a hundred suns. As raw and frenzied and hypnotically devastating as any single piece of hyperkinetic sludge the power trio has released to date. The flip is the same radiant annihilation only spread across 66 million millennia….all motion and violence stretched into historical cirrus clouds trembling with gravitational tension. Infinity’s burden burning off in wisps of audio mirage and glacial stasis. Go nowhere fast. Originally released as a micro-edition CDR on the Australian MYMWLY label, this LP re-issue was pressed from a fresh edit of the HW material and comes with an entirely unreleased bonus TR track as well.

Whether an artist paints a painting a day or a decade matters nothing if the results RULE. And Harakiri is a formidable and dense subterranean canal/C50 of wrecked electric waste and toxic sludge flowing ceaselessly into a bottomless pit. A good hypnotic void to pour in yr ears for the better chunk of an hour, semi-reminiscent of Black Monk’s drumless jams. Word is Kenji labors a lot on his alternate career as a cyberpunk novelist, and that makes plenty of sense in light of this audio apocalypto.

Thurston Moore (you know the dude, he is in Sonic Youth) contributes music that ranges from beautiful acoustic guitar work to fierce noise and charging thud rhythms.
Men Who Can't Love is the gang of young LA noise dudes that do the tag team thing like it is the ultimate party. They share the 12" w/ Moore, and hit you over and over with the tagteam efforts of Solitary Hunter, Impregnable, Moth Drakula, Haircut Mountain Transit, Toxic Loincloth, & Privy Seals.
Barrabarracuda are the much more friendly sort, but welcome at the same party. Featuring Grace of Foot Village and Amanda of Pochahaunted on fireworks... erm drums and vocals, plus Britt of Robedoor on guitar and Nichole of Child Pornography on keyboard. Their split 7" w/ Moore is definitly the most melodic of the bunch.
Kevin Shields (here as Eva Aguila of Gang Wizard & Amy V of Yuma Nora) fuses searing walls of aluminum with angelic harmonies for a tension that evokes pure joy. Their split 7" with Moore is matched with equal amounts joy and angelicism, but in soothing rather than tense manner." -deathbomb arc

Shearing Pinx/ Silver Daggers split 7" $5
"Time to tell all the ’77 dudes to get hip to the ’07 sound. Vancouver’s Shearing Pinx and Los Angeles’ Silver Daggers are North America’s ambassadors for the new wave of skronk/thrash/post-whatever punk. The Pinx play angular, expertly timed, staccato waves of noise and punk. Two long songs sandwiching one short one in typical Pinx fashion. The Daggers (experts of interpreting animal sounds w/ regular rock instruments) create utterly epic art-punk jams complete with swirling synths and horns based around solid drumming and guitar/bass interplay. One track was recorded live at The Smell, coming complete with mosh philosophies, while the second track recalls David Byrne’s “boombox experiments” circa Stop Making Sense. Be sure to check out their new record on Load!

NONHORSE - HARAAM, CIRCLE OF FLAME CD $10
"Nonhorse is the solo act of Gabriel Lucas Crane from Wooden Wand & The Vanishing Voice and this is his debut album. On Haraam, piles of mysterious old cassettes are used as source material to create magic in a stunning way over 42 moody minutes. Different audio fragments on top of each other, over and over again, hand-mixed and orchestrated at what feels like must have been ritualistic tape laborations taken place somewhere where the sun never shines. Various echoes from the past are buried under layers and layers of manipulated voices, train signals, animal sounds and god knows what. Abrupt endings which burns like fire in your head. Churches in flames, the soundtrack to The House With The Laughing Windows played backwards, alien autopsys, cemetery fog, total devestation... Haraam is a beautiful junkyard nightmare, a horrifying and atmospheric album. 13 songs. Mastered by Pete Swanson." - Release the Bats

Time Life "I Am Just to Myself" cassette $6
"By now this duo should be far from a mystery though their psychic audio mythos has been continually deepening, growing, and transcending. Comprised of Vanishing Voice members G. Lucas Crane(Non-Horse) and Heidi Diehl, these New Yorkers flee the trappings of the fashion capital of the world for the land of home grown psychedelia. Non-Horse plays a crate of cassette tapes and a chain of delay. Wrapping sounds from various sources into a concocted aural remedy from reality, a psychedelic blanket sheltering you from the outside world. Heidi lends her voice and dripping dream guitar work to the powers at hand, juxtaposing heavy bass with light whispers and shimmering strings with deep murmurs. On the B side fellow spirit forcer Steve Gunn of GHQ brings a new element to the group, percussion. A natural oneness is developed between all players, creating earth music with a deeply rooted sense of calmness and serenity. In an edition of 100 numbered tapes with printed labels." -arbor

Magic Lantern "At the Mountains of Madness" cassette $6
"Plenty of cacophony comes crawling outta the NNF mailbox/inbox on a daily basis, but it’s been a spell since an hourglass of holy din has caught us captive quite the way Magic Lantern’s tape has. This LBC guru posse formed last year but only began laying down live sets in the last four months, and the evolution is radical. The A side shockwave, “At the Mountains of Madness,” rides a roiling riff through forcefields of charged tones, percussion concussion, and collective overdrive before slowly ramping up and over drug-rock repetition into raw light cone rapture. A perfect cyclone of basement storm and interstellar Hawkwind, and a real contender for CS single of ’07 in our book. The live B piece shows a looser slice of psychic youth, all amplifier wash and blissed waves of Bardo comedown…like a teenage Taj Mahal Travellers bootleg. Illuminating. Keep yr eyes peeled for more ML signal flares on NNF in the future. Stenciled tape-labeled tapes with full-color fire-dancer J-cards in gold-flecked cases embellished with jewels. Edition of 100." -nnf

Ajilvsga "Earth Lodge" 2X cassette $8
"Winter may be dead and gone (for now) but the haven of hibernation still calls out across the plains. And no landscape is more laid low by malevolent elements and psychic ice than the level-plane tundra of Oklahoma, which is where buffalo robed drone duo Ajilvsga (Brad Rose, Nathan Young) hole up/hibernate and eye the harvest moon. Earth Lodge is the soundtrack to a season spent in dirt shelters, hands in cold clay, amps bleeding out brown-green groans of bone OM and predatorial rapid eye movement. Riffs burrow through frozen soil, skull necklace percussion rattles under piles of pelts, inner spaces open up and unfold into invisible fields of blood and color and celestial imagining. Withdrawn and drawn out. Grey-sky tapes with printed labels in oversized cases with full-color double-sided antler mausoleum collage artwork by Manda. Edition of 100." -nnf

Jana Hunter- "Carrion"- one sided 12" $10
"Half of the six songs on Jana Hunter’s Carrion are unreleased hangers-on from the writing sessions that produced her most recent full-length, There’s No Home, while the other half are alternate renditions of works that appeared on that release. But this is no mere grab bag of remnants; it’s a real tight product, all around. “Paint A Babe” is a throw-back to Hunter’s earlier material, written and recorded simultaneously on a borrowed four-track recorder. A real sad, longing song. “A Goblin, A Goblin” took a little more time to create: this strong, sturdy number, replete with violins and creepy harmony, tells the tale of an indignant outcast. “You Will Take It and Like It,” turns one central, pretty and proud guitar part over and over and over, with others mirroring it, leeching from it, grabbing on like little parasitic danglers. The original version of “There’s No Home” is here, the track that spawned an entire record title, followed by “Sleep” (titled, as it was originally, “Ooh Uuh”), from the recording that ended up on a lullaby compilation. Concluding Carrion is an acoustic re-presentation of the country-minded “Oracle,” stripped down to one guitar, one melody, and one harmony, as it was originally conceived in its creation as homage." -Woodsist

"Bill Nace (Vampire Belt, X.O.4 etc.) and Chris Cooper (Fat Worm of Error etc.) kick it real dense and noisy on this cassette of Buddies guitar duo action. The Night-People crew got a chance to check these dudes out live in London back in March and where totally inspired and impressed by their feedback-drenched pedal fest, string shredding, approach to complex noise composition, and creation. All sorts of tools are used, all sorts of sounds are generated, but what really makes it stick is the variety and the rhythmic patterns that prevail from quiet to loud throughout.

Mythical Beast/Pocahaunted "Gone to Grey" b/w "Swayed Tongue" LP $13
"If the body is a temple, then the human voice is the endless Om pulsing within the architecture. And if the body is a corpse, then it's the post-life ghost mist hissing in the wind. Either way, it's a heavy force, and this split LP spotlights two of today's greatest vocal ritualists at the peak of their process. Drone gypsies Mythical Beast have spent the last few years like nomads, drifting from N'awlins to Austin to Kansas City, and their piece here ("Gone to Grey") throbs with a weary hypnosis, too many nights spent staring into foreign
freeways...alien landscapes passing in the dark. These are blues for the rootless, homeless feedback curling up by the side of the road, by the side of a grave. Hitchhiking into the void. Pocahaunted, too, beckon the dead, turning in a crushing, low-lidded amplifier chant of clanging guitar and primitive distortion. "Swayed Tongue" treads even deeper into the forests of noise they explored on Native Seduction, bathing their tribe-song prayer shawls in rivers of electricity and twilight static. Totem soul totality. Opaque violet LPs in pro-printed jackets with unbelievable colored pencil tomb rumination artwork by NNF's favorite color dreamer, Devon Varmega, plus an eagle feather. Limited to 380." -nnf

"An unprecedented surprise from these New Zealanders. This one definitely stands out amongst the sludge-punk releases of old. Completely different approach here. The first main difference you'll notice will be the absence of any vocals. The second will be the absence of any drummer. And the third will be the absence of any common Futurianistics you've grown to know and love. Fear not, for it's just as punk-fucking-rawk as anything they've ever done...just in a different way. If you really do love them, then you will love this release. If you have yet to discover this unbelievable group, then this will definitely get you started on the wrong foot. Albeit, an unusually great one." -abandon ship records

Non-Horse/Horse Head split cassette $6
"Besides being like my favo[u]rite "bands," and both having h-o-r-s-e in succession, in their "band" names, these dudes have pretty much nothing in common. This thematic unification, though, I promise, won't dissappoint. G. Lucas Crane (moniker, here, Non-Horse) is a straight up musical magician, an avid sound collector that doesn't just let his collection sit on a shelf and gather dust, but rather, puts in all together totally mysteriously and creates a sound that words honestly can't really capture (total honesty, no cliches here, dudes); the twenty minute totally live and totally "worth the eight hour drive." Flip this C40 over and your pretty much in a polar universe; these So-Cal teens Horse Head can pretty much put anyone in a good mood with their anomalous aria intertwined with those memorable down-tempo beats, yr sure to wish you were chilled out with these dudes bathing in the sun.

Villa Valley/Treetops- split cassette $6
"The suburbs can be kinda weird. Villa Valley and Treetops both come from the highly forested sub-urban areas of Detroit and Chicago, respectively. Villa Valley occupy the A side with teeth bared. Tape manipulations, contact mic-ery, and feedback create a cacophony at times boarding on full out free jazz (Midwestern style of course). This is what Wolf Eyes sounded like before they had double picture discs pressed in editions of 1000(not like that’s a bad thing, though). Treetops is Mike Pollard (of Arbor); Guitar incantations float around the highest peaks of forgotten mounts. Fuzzed out pyschedelia; primitive percussion and subtle vocal drones occasionally emanate through the haze. In a numbered edition of 100 tapes in sprayed purple cases with art by Ola Vasiljeva." -arbor records

Instantly became a total dream to carve that magik on sike-adelic vinyl. This IS that dream. Originally released as a limited-run 7-song CDR by the awesome east coasters, Apostasy Recordings, the wax edition of Feel the Crayon shaves 2 of the emptier tracks (for length/sound quality purposes), creating a harsher, denser document of their ecstatic feedback questing. Pressed on purple-haze vinyl, in color-washed hand-screened jackets with lunatic utopia artwork by George W. Myers of Grey Skull.

"Huff on, heavyweights. The late summer smog seeps like slime into the sockets and circuits and strings and sweatsongs burning out from the east LA scorched earth, and Heavy Sets is a blurry Polaroid of the steam rising (and forming a skull). Documenting a pair of punishing mid-August live Echo Park meltdowns, the wrecked sets on this bible-black CS showcase the more nocturnal, wasted wing of the Rock/Eagle macrocosm, when the heat turns to fumes and the fumes turn to black light. Pass out but don’t pass away. Robedoor climb into a cauldron of seer’s soup and drums, the Pocahaunted fatales war-whoop with buried beats in the wind, and Sasqrotch wrestle a riff over a cliff of boiling mud. Street fights with sweet plights. 48 minutes of breathless brawl-space. Tape-labeled tapes in paint-streaked/glitter-encrusted cases, with a hand-cut piece of voodoo cloth.

"Even though Warmth main man Steev Thompson still appears to be incommunicado totally epic recordings continue to surface. Before Roxanne Jean Police was officially over and Steev still lived in Chicago, he joined up with another then Chicago resident Branden Diven of Quilts/American Grizzly Records. The jams that were created filled a couple of cdrs and the Warmth side of the split with Quintana Roo on Not Not Fun. This LP consists of a remixed and edited version of the original cdr running at just under 45 minutes. Forgotten smog floats through a Northside basement. Sounds emanate but their source is totally unrecognizable. Quiet growing tonal blobs erupt into washes of aural color. A complete union of samplers, synths, vocals, guitar, organs, percussion, and electronics merge to create the sounds contained within; a loss of individual existence. Completely serene. In an edition of 300 LPs on creamy yellow vinyl with hand stamped labels in pro-printed and screened fold over sleeves with art by Roy Tatum and an insert by Steev." -arbor records

Pocahaunted "Emerald Snake on Ruby Velvet" 3" cdr $4.50 SOLD OUT

And this is key/crucial to keep in mind when meditating on the street beats and dub futurism of Emerald Snake on Ruby Velvet, the Eagle Rockers most recent reverb guitar mantra. A late summer set staple and a water-testing foray into the echo chamber percussion of Pocahaunted’s impending world/trance/dub-inspired LP on Arbor, Emerald Snake... coils in concentric circles of voice-wave wash-out and upsetter drone stutter, buoyed by Bobb Bruno’s drum pad path-finding.

Watersports with Aaron Rosenblum- "More" cassette $7 (expensive wholesale,limited)
"If a tape should ever be described using the word “submerged” it is this one. Watersports is the Brooklyn duo of Russ Waterhouse and Lea Cho, who in the same configuration also make up Blues Control. The A side begins with “submerged” bubble sounds mastered from the inside of an aquarium. The serene scene ebbs and flows until shimmering keyboards pierce the murk like sun into the blimey deep. On the B side the duo is joined by Aaron Rosenblum of Son Of Earth/Sapat. This track is keyboard heavy from the start with what seems like all three of the players weaving sounds through each others keyboarding. A glorious and shimmering overtone blurs reality. Howling flutes act as sea creatures in crisis. If you put the shell up to your ear and concentrate you can hear Rosenblum totally shredding.

And the omnivorous Now is all that matters. Recorded at the close of the Shining Smoke sessions, and edited/tweaked slightly by Pete Swanson in PDX, Ritual Heirs drifts from centrifugal spiral light patterns into a rarefied air of slowly choking atmosphere, ascending gravitational violence, the world’s weight dissolving into the marrow like a brick of hash lodged in the throat. No drums, no mass cult life to shoulder blame or sorrow. Only unclean clocks ticking above bodies, goatskin strings bowed by blind men, corridors of cold distortion. Inherit the end times.

Synths and subdued vocals weave together into an ornamental sound tapestry with heavy Middle Eastern influence. Total satyagraha.

"I saw Bobb open for Wilco(yeah, that Wilco) last Thanksgiving in the biggest auditorium in Chicago; like orchestra/opera shit. He came out in a full body bunny costume, sat down at a drum pad and created some of the heaviest synthetic beats I’ve ever heard using samples, a drum pad, and some pedals for about 10 minutes. Needless to say it ruled. You probably know Bobb as that guy in Goliath Bird Eater, Polar Goldie Cats, Knit Witch et al. If not for that then you know him for his recording wizardry which he employs on rad S.LA acts such as Silver Daggers, Mika Miko, Robedoor, Abe Vigoda, Quintana Roo, Hello Astronaut Goodby Television and probably a billion more. Here he creates two side long ethereal skyscapes of Technicolor synth work. Somewhere between Boards of Canada and Kevin Shields’ (MBV) solo work from Lost in Translation.

The result: a catchy and complex release, that over time one comes to realize has been created with the utmost love and care." -Night People

Family Underground "Black Hole" 2XLP $18
Family Underground drenched the east coast of the USA in molten syrup last year and they toted along a tour CD-R entitled Black Hole released by the fine folk of Secret Eye. Mega bummed I didn't get to feel their magic live but I ordered that tour disc post-haste. Man, when I got it I was slain. I thought it was their finest work to date so I had to invoke it on vinyl. I tapped into the band's communication network and together we figured this would make a killer double LP, definitely one for the record books. So The Underground sent me a half hour of unreleased musics to fill the vinyl sides to fruition. Holy Hannah was I unprepared for A! How well the new jams mind-melded with the other tracks. And B — the superb variation of the entire work with paramount peaks and deep arcane valleys. Get it and trip! Limited to 500 copies on black vinyl with full color gatefold jackets. -Weird Forest

Thousands "Pig Cooks Pig" cassette $6
"This California beard-commune have been jamming at a furious pace since forming back in who knows when. Featuring a rotating cast of VxPxC-ers, Antique Brothers, and other East LA psychedelicates, Thousands are limitless in their instrumentation, enthusiasm, and willingness to trek into the deepest deserts (both literally AND metaphorically) to excavate/achieve the perfect chemistry of tattered clatter and tripped vibes. On Pig Cooks Pig they turn in two side-long monsters of conceptual cop contempt, loose Mansonian lore, and fried pork psychosis. Greasy slabs of wasted guitar and synth smoke twirl on sticks above a pit of simmering campfire flames, loping drums creepy-crawl over murmuring voices and pitch-black hippie grooves. Bold, boundless, and broasted. Purple tapes in silkscreened art-flaps with printed labels. Hand-numbered edition of 72." -nnf

Bark Haze- "Macannabis" cassette $7 (expensive wholesale cost/OOP)
"Somewhere the gods of psych are smiling. Gazing down on this Northeastern all-star unit, just feeling the music. Bark Haze is comprised of Andrew Macgregor (aka Gown), Thurston Moore (of Sonic Youth), and on this recording Pete Nolan (of Magik Markers). Gown and Moore’s dual guitars and in constant conversation. There must be a psychic barrier between these dudes minds, nothing sounds forced, only ever flowing. Nolan keeps the time with militant precision acting as the foil for guitar development. A thirty-minute track recorded around the same time as All Tomorrow’s Parties last winter stretched across two sides of the tape. Infinite psyched out oblivion like a more sober Lambsbread. In a numbered edition of 200 copies with double sided red eyed tree art and tape labels by Maya Miller of Heavy Tapes/Religious Knives." -arbor records

Sasqrotch "Myth of the Hirsute" cassette $6
"First time we saw Sasqrotch play was at a bowling alley bar after a Robedoor set, and it was PERFECT. A guitarist decked out in a baffling bearded-elf costume from the neck up (complete with rubbery oversized ears) stared at his guitar, holding an amp-eating drone tone with some wah-pedal oscillation while bassist and another dude crouched in front of speaker cabinets, drinking in the low-end, the whole place just fucking QUAKING with sound. Then third man moved over to the drums, counted some shit off, and let loose. We were floored. Lumbering untamed electric wilderness howling through lucid streets of puke and ice. Basement Sabbath breakdowns. Wasted, sub-human distortion. Basically: savage awesomeness. So here is “Myth of the Hirsute,” Sasqrotch’s debut release, a brutal, blown-out snapshot/C38 of the North Hollywood power trio’s hairy grandeur in action. Black tapes in hand-stamped origami-folded metallic paper sleeves adorned with fang/sequin braids, and limited to 100." -NNF

Birds Of Delay- "Live From Mind Avalanche" cassette $6
"Beneath the mounds of tape loops, keyboard mysticism, and vocal séance rests the human forms of Luke Younger and Steven Warwick aka Birds Of Delay. “Live From Mind Avalanche” is a particularly deep work. It sounds as though it was recorded live on the wing of a flying plane or at the top of some epicly huge mountain in India. Frozen delays and deprived electronics ache for freedom from desolate captivity. Drowned static screeching into an abyss of grey tumbles down the side of a snow slicked slope. Icy smoke envelops whatever remains. In a numbered edition of 90 sprayed/stamped tapes with art by the band." -arbor records

Mef Teef/ Owl Xounds Exploding Galaxy- Split cassette $6
"Pure energy and total expression are the only boundaries around the free-jazz/music movement. Primitivism and psychedelic confusion act as the main themes. Mef Teef of Iowa City, a relatively new collective, have one past release on Raccoo-oo-oon’s Night People Label (of which MT percussionist Andy Spore is a member). Spastic drumming acts as the basis for which brass, piano, and silence interweave. Culled from a hometown live session, “Dark Star Voyage Pt. 1” features unique instrumental interplay causing the piece to progress almost theatrically with definitive mood changes. Brooklyn’s Owl Xounds Exploding Galaxy is a heavy hitter in the free jazz underground. Comparisons to avant-garde greats are not unjustified. With a recent LP out on Wooden Wand’s Mad Monk label and a plethora of sold out self released jams, this is the collectives first tape. Focused on the youthful energy of punk music and centered around the drumming of Adam Kriney (La Otracina, Castanets), in “Transmission To The Pineapple Universe”, Owl Xounds produce pure blown out oblivion never faltering in its onward progression. Recorded live at the Cakeshop featuring Gene Janas on upright bass, Darius Jones on alto sax, and Greg Vegas on electric guitar the jam is a total freak-out, seething equally with nods to Sonny Simmons as it is to Sonic Youth. In a numbered edition of 100 tapes with printed labels, art and an insert by Andy Spore.." -arbor records

Raccoo-oo-oon "Behold Secret Kingdom" LP $13
"You know what they say: beautiful tribal spirit psych lies in the eyes of the beholder. So enter the kingdom and hold the secret in your hands. Iowa City’s prodigal sun-starers offer up the fruits of their deepest inquest yet into the heart of the heart of the country. Eight wilderness rituals of swirling percussion, mossy guitar noise, forest howls, and animal instincts that unfold and erupt with more focus, intensity, and complexity than anything else in Raccoo-oo-oon’s discography thus far. The songs were tracked in the studio with warmth and power by Mike Dixon and then given a heavy mastering job by Pete Swanson, so sonically the vinyl shines and burns and explodes in all the right places. A crushing statement of electric alchemy by one of our favorite bands in the world. Black vinyl LPs in awesome pro-printed jackets, plus an insert, with Midwestern magick color visions/nature photography art by the band. Co-released with Night People." -nnf

Changeling/ Quetzolcoatl split cassette $6 (OOP from label)
"Scientists say that sound travels better through water and rocks than it does through air. LA’s Changeling and Dublin, Ireland’s Quetzocaotl challenge these scientists. In a split tape of international proportions, airy loftiness and spiritual mist-icism play the key roles. Changeling’s guitar-centric drones become one with the ambience of the mist surrounding them. Quetzocoatl uses a multitude of instruments and delay to build a drone which floats across the sky next to the birds. Each piece ends too soon, almost evaporating into the clouds from which they were born on a constant migratory path to rad. In a numbered edition of 100 tapes in sprayed/screened/stamped linen bags with art/insert by Roy Tatum(aka Changeling)." -arbor

Side B brings together the holy trinity of drums, guitar and more guitar into a kind of distorted raga with each element taking turns, trading fours, evoking an eternity of summer fun in the mouth of inevitable oblivion.

Family Underground/Quintana Roo "Vengeance Valley" b/w "Horses Neck" 7" ($5)
"A pair of implosion constructs from Denmark’s finest and Eagle Rock’s vaguest. Originally conceived for the Quintana/Underground doomed west coast tour dates, but car rental hostilities and passport chaos shot the drone team scheme dead. Alas. At any rate: the single still stands. “Vengeance Valley” finds FU at their most steeped-in-dread, channeling Spahn Ranch brainwash kill vibes into rumbling black hills of bad acid alchemy. Pure murder magick. Q Roo’s “Horses Neck” wanders its own Death Valley nothingness, loses contact/control, and carves slow sigils in the sand. A hovering aura of desert oblivion. Black vinyl 7 inches in hand-numbered, hand-screened grey cardstock jackets with skull-rider/ancient ruins cover art. Limited to 300." -NNF

Goliath Bird Eater "Blood Venus" CD ($8)
" Few dudes understand the Eastern zen of heavy riffing more than Bobb Bruno. The man lives in a literal lair of black amps, black hair, and black metal, and only emerges to eat fried chicken or get wasted at Mika Miko shows. Blood Venus rages this yin/yang vibe to the speaker-shredding breaking point, alternating feedbacker obliteration with passages of complete tunnel vision drone stasis. The rampant guitar slaughter is epicly complemented by Jeremy Villalobos' iron hammer drum moves, which kick from stoner lopes to total crash attack, sometimes dropping out to peripheral cymbal shimmer, all in a sick split second. And you can truly hear it all, too, as the songs were tracked in the studio on serious two inch tape. Nine deafening epiphanies of black leather headbang war, somewhere between Sabbath, Sleep, and...qualuudes. Oh, and no vocals, cause they're too metal for that shit. In jewel cases, with weird blood-tentacle squid-witch cover art."

Cole writes pop songs in Menlo Park, CA similar to those of the Pacific Northwest dudes. He’s toured with everybody from Seattle and Portland and is a really cool guy, and also totally nice. Sometimes he has a moustache. Sometimes he uses a drum machine. This album features some instrumental help from the brother, but other then that it’s all Cole.

Ghosting/Robedoor split 7" $5
"Here it is. Crouched cloud-summoning from two of the west coast’s most coma-coaxing cloak teams. Both have been questing/crawling after the holy drug-drone grail for years now, but this vinyl union is an even deeper step into their respective fog/smog voids. Ghosting’s A-side, “Rivermouth,” might be the most awesomely charged piece of weather-stricken wire-séance the Portland duo’s ever recorded. Roiling banks of suspended densities and white-hot metals are shot through with flickering loops of lightning, lances of light beams. Stunning spiral sky-welding. The B-side (“Roving Shaman”) is more of a white-eyed trance, with Robedoor throwing bones under a thatched roof, eyes sewn shut. Smoke-tones spin and wobble while sixth sense frequencies chime in the distance. A no-mind ritual of atmospheric fear.

Raccoo-oo-oon "Behold Secret Kingdom" CD $10
"Behold Secret Kingdom is the first proper fullength release from Iowa City's Raccoo-oo-oon after several limited cd-r/tape/vinyl releases (including cd reissues on Time Lag and Release The Bats). The band spent the last year working with Behold Secret Kingdom, tremendous amounts of love and hard work has been put into this recording which now will be unleashed by Release The Bats! 8 new songs that takes the band's psychedelic and dynamic free-form punk from previous releases to new heights, this is definitely their most focused and perfected recording so far. Darker, denser and almost brutal at times, Behold Secret Kingdom is also the heaviest recording they have done. It only takes a few seconds into ‘Black Branches’ and the mood is set for the rest of the album immediately. The stunning closer ‘Tail At Prospect Peak’ could easiest be described as campfire-doom with it’s slow riffing, heavy use of percussion and chanted vocals (everything suddenly bursting out in a chaotic crescendo…). The trademark tribal-like drums is still present, as is the vocal drones and the furious saxophone swirls. Behold Secret Kingdom is a epic masterpiece, there is really no other way to describe it. Chaotic and all over the place, yet so beautiful. Puts earlier comparisons to bands like Excepter and Animal Collective to a shame! Recorded by Mike Dixon in Bloomington, IN. Full colour digipack with the bands now well-known amazing artwork." -Release the Bats

Shepherds traverse the Bushwick/Brooklyn axis, watching their flock from a high crooked branch off the Fuck It Tapes tree of life/death. Old world clatter meanders against dead-dub bass echoes while thin air prayers levitate from weary throats. A spiral-eyed masterpiece of tattered tunic improv. On the flip is west coast crawl unit, Quintana Roo, who burrow through sub-cellar levels of spirit dust and cursed dirt worship. “Mythological Animals” ponders bowed drones, autoharp rust, and disembodied drumming for a haunted half hour, before drifting back to tomb hum.

Loosers "Bumba Meu Boi' cassette $6 (REAL cassette)
" The great unraveling continues. We first heard Loosers’ fried/frayed spool of sound-sprawl last year, via the Ruby Red/Jelle Crama-splattered LP/CDR offering. Immediate Portuguese fever set in. They, however, are a busy crew, dropping albums for Qbico and Our Mouth, touring Europe with Mouthus, generally ruling, etc. So NNF release plans moved slow. Fast forward to today: the CS is HERE, the time is NOW. Named for a semi-metaphorical 18th century Brazilian tale/dance concerning the FUCKED hierarchical relations between slaves and lords at the time, Bumba Meu Boi boils/roils with post-rational uprise, alchemical percussion ritual, and pulse-of-the-people electronic sub-consciousness.

Ettrick "Sudden Arrhythmic Death Volume 2" 3" cdr $5
"Imagine an immediate/permanent global blackout. Tons would change about daily life (duh): no TV, computers, light bulbs, AMPS. Severed from the electric mainline, a lot of bands would break up – or suck. But not Ettrick. The San Franciscan saxophone/drums duo need nothing but their own breath/blood and your bored ears to wreak consummate audial carnage. This 3 inch is brutal proof. Documenting a desperate session of their free jazz war at the last stop on their October US tour, Sudden Arrhythmic Death Vol. 2 morphs from skittering, sticks-on-steel heartbeat clatter to harrowing/hemorrhaging sax chaos incantations before finally mounting to a black death apocalypse of possessed percussion immolation. Far, far, FAR beyond driven. Brace yrself for the forthcoming LP (out spring '07 on NNF). Stenciled CDRs in Mayan-tile encrusted mini-jewel cases with color-printed wraparound covers (plus a quote from the Popul Vuh). Hand-numbered, and limited to 100." - notnotfun

A++/Soft Shoulder "Live" cassette $5
"The holidays are supposed to be AWESOME. You wear crazy scarves, hang out with weird cousins, and secretly spike the eggnog (with soy-nog)!! Another good thing to do is play shows with your friends and go crazy. That’s why this applause-heavy C30 is PERFECT. A++ are the trumpet/drums pop-monster duo starring Grace from Foot Village/Gang Wizard and their side documents an Il Corral show from 2006 summertime. They pass out trivia questions, yell about animals and sneak attacks, and even cover some 80s song. The sonic equivalent of rainbow confetti exploding in yr face. Tempe, Arizona’s hardest working posi-wave trio Soft Shoulder shred sax, riffs, and drums across the B side, which is culled/compiled from a trilogy of early December shows in Phoenix and Flagstaff. Their jump-cuts from angular feedback action to beatless skronk drift keeps you (and the crowd) guessing. Good luck! Printed-label tapes in stapled, spray-painted cardstock fold-over cases. Googly-eyed horn-blower blob beast art by Manda. Hand-numbered, and limited to 100." -NNF

Loopool "Courtesy Run Rampant" 1-sided LP w/CDR $9
" LA’s king discontent Loopool finally achieved such core-level burn-out at day-to-day California-cation that he uprooted his Sycophanticide mini-empire and bolted for greener/rainier pastures (the Pacific Northwest). That said, Courtesy Run Rampant is the perfect Not Not Fun-eral for our favorite post-noise avante cultural disintegrator. Three bizarrely orchestrated manifestoes ringing with bashed upright piano, harsh drum distortion, and elegiac clarinet lament, often complimented with Herr Loopool’s Leonard Cohen-like dead poeticizing. Recorded during a day-in-the-studio birthday present at The Distillery in Costa Mesa on thick reel-to-reel tape, and effused with focus/purpose. One-sided LPs – with an ornate conspiracy-theorizing art chart etched on the B side – housed in hand-stamped, stenciled, painted jackets, plus a full-page insert AND a bonus full-length CDR of additional music/musings.

Odd Clouds/ Wigwam Split cassette+3"Cd-r $8 (OOP from label)
"Long before the Ford Motor Co. ruled over Michigan, Plains Indians would chill out and ride wooly mammoths everywhere. Then the mammoths hit the pits, and Henry Ford created the car, ever since then the state has been clogged with smog. Odd Clouds (Rep-ing MI labels Fag Tapes and Tasty Soil) create a cacophony of tribal electric jamming. Loud and mean; a group improv cave jam going back to the basics and just kicking it. Wigwam (of Kalamazoo's Tapeworm Tapes) creates a maize field of drones only to light it on fire, and burn it to the ground so that it can be reused later. War horns streak through the desolation of bass drum onslaught. Comes with a 3" of additional oil slick sludge rock from the Odd Clouds cave.

Moongang "Fifth Sun Visions" cassette $6br>
'Watching Steve Gunn’s fingers fly as he shred-drones an acoustic guitar is probably the chief joy of witnessing a GHQ set (at least, it was for us when they cruised through LA this past summer). But when he’s not on the road with Magik Markers or GHQ or Nolan-knows-who-else, he builds buzzing structures of six-string acid navigations under the guise of Moongang. Past dispatches (mainly self-released) have ranged from tranquilizer ragas to swarming arkestral maneuvers to blissed emptiness, but Fifth Sun Visions offers up yet another orbit in Gunn’s psych solar system. Urban field recordings slowly dissolve into stumbling folk trance while static clouds of menace hover in the sky…later thick riffs emerge, bathed in black light, shot through with gross growling and crawling undertones of templar apocalyptica. An awesome oracle of ruin from one of NNF’s favorite psych shapeshifters. Purple tapes with painted skull labels in bags with full-color shadow-shrine collage covers, plus a black spider. Hand-numbered and limited to 100.'- NNF

Horse Head "The Defeatist" cdr $6
"For a while it looked like OC loners Horse Head were gonna follow the path out to pasture and never look back. Their Birds and Bees tape (Arbor) was pure nature, a feathery field recording of grassy, buzzing bliss, and even the singer/songwriter folk diaries of Make It Something Else (also Arbor) were pretty unplugged and barefoot-vibed. However: NEVERMIND, cause The Defeatist fucks this theory/trajectory to hell. Gone is the wind-in-yr-hair acoustic delay, the whispery poet croons. In its place? Total teenage guitar trash, exploratory garage chaos, psychedelic puberty. Percussion like metal shelves full of wrenches being kicked on to concrete. Pissed kids scream-talking at dry walls. Uncomfortable and ugly. Maybe this is a concept album? Hand-stamped CDRs in blurry woven fiber paper, with one-of-a-kind collaged wooden horses, and a hand-numbered insert. Limited to 64."-NNF

Lulling, long-hair guitar strums flow into sweeping sea-breeze feedback while tidal dream-noise ebbs/flows over your blistered feet. Slowly siren voices wing down from grey mists and call you to wade into the warm waves, let go, be washed away…gradually the chanting submerges, dissolves, surrendering to the blood’s undertow, the ocean’s blue womb. A spectral, moving rite of psych passage. Spray-misted, hand-numbered 3” CDRs in full-color wraparound portrait-collage covers in plastic bags adorned with heavy woven strips of native textiles.

Guitar strums coupled with bass drum dreams to protect oneself from the evil spirits. Backed behind a teepee of protective electronic hum. All is good.

"Hope you like to read/research. Cause Gabriel Lucas Crane aka Non-Horse here unfurls an ancient 80 minute scroll of dense cryptic sound/texts, perfect for dream-diviners and out-of-work drone-archeologists. The Brooklyn tape-manipulator conspiracy theorist (and full-time Vanishing Voice chief) has crafted similarly mystic audio-calligraphies for other visionary label undergrounders like Release the Bats and Fuck It Tapes but “Rigor Lore” is his first real novel-length outpouring. The A side walks through wondrous home recorded catacombs of dead machine murk and hieroglyphic mystery, murmuring million-year-old Masonic secrets to pharaoh ghosts, while the B terrain documents a series of his live rituals, which are equally occult and symbol-ridden. Fire-red tapes with printed labels in cases with runic/riddle cover art by GLC himself, color-copied on heavy Byzantine-gold paper, plus a lengthy scripture insert." -NNF

WOODS - HOW TO SURVIVE IN/IN THE WOODS CD $10
"Experimental folk music anthems with Jeremy and Christian from Meneguar. How To Survive consists of everything from more traditional singer/songwriter songs to noisy yet beautiful outbursts of brilliant lo-fi madness. A truly amazing collection of songs. Originally released as a double cassette on Fuck It Tapes, now remastered and finally avaliable on cd. 13 songs, 42 minutes. Comes packaged in a Dual Plover sleeve (the same kind we used for the Dove Yellow Swans cd) with dark green felt and full colour artwork similar to the tape release.
Woods began in the woods, at the foot of Bear Mountain. In the earliest days it was a collaborative improvisational group with two core members and several guests, known as woodsists. Shortly thereafter, Jeremy Earl and Christian DeRoeck emerged from the woods, dusted themselves off, and began to walk upright. The two woodsists immersed themselves in human culture, learned to craft a melody, to wield a tambourine, to construct a crude phonograph from spare bicycle parts. They learned the value of a cassette. Jeremy and Christian returned to the woods and shared their newfound knowledge with the other woodsists. The result was Woods, songs and improvisations by outsiders, inspired by the human experience. "- Release the Bats

16 Bitch Pile-Up "The Hairless Whisperer" one-sided LP $15 (limited to 200!)
"Limited one-sided art edition LP from this great, all-female electro-gunk bigband with paste-on B-side art from John Olson (Wolf Eyes et al), corrugated card sleeve and stamped insert/art cover. Woozy vocal schizophrenia. home-crunched electronics elicit squeals of pleasure and cells of circuit friction rumble the whole thing to a murky, oil-caked end. Not as full-on mud-wrestling as some of the Bitches past work and actually all the better for it. Weird as hell, this wouldn't have sounded out of place on Very Good records, wrapped in a long blonde wig. But this swanky American Tapes edition will do fucking nicely." -(volcanic tonge review)

Watersports/Changeling cassette $5
"Hello/goodbye. Entrance tones and farewell dissolves. Two of NNF’s pinnacle favorite cell-melting haze-raisers bow heads across a bliss-blind C50. Watersports are the heroically rad Russ and Lea, who head up NYC’s chief trickle-down esoterica fountain/label, White Tapes. The duo’s flow session here, “Mother’s Touch,” rides a smoke-wave of four-dimensional heartbeat pulses and spirit-organ drift-shift into pure hypno-unbecoming. Like being absorbed into a holy amoeba. Obviously: beautiful. Changeling’s B-side, “Great Tranquility,” buries yr ears in even more dream-fog, with voices flayed across infinite green/grey webs of lattice glowing clouds. New age prism-swimming through skies of delay. Color-misted tapes in hand-numbered olive vellum J-cards, with hand-colored off-set heaven-cell stickers on the cover. Artwork by Roy Tatum of Changeling." -NNF

Monster Dudes "I Know That You're Okay" 7" $4 TEMP. SOLD OUT, SEND MESSAGE TO RESERVE COPY
The once father/son noise duo, Monster Dudes, grows at the same rate asVenec (the younger member) grows up. Now a 3 piece, MonsterDude's have ventured into some dance punk territory, with Venecleading the dance floor with party shout vocals, at a mere age5, that give bands like Moving Units a run for their money. Still loving the antics of noise, but now feeling a little more focused(with noise skits abut bailing your son out of jail, etc),Monster Dudes will probably be as different every year as anychild growing up is. And that's their magic. While mostparent/child bands are all about the obsessive control of the parent, MD is all about helping your kid bring to life whatever they canimagine. A true testament to family love. MP3

Child Pornography "The Beatles" CD $9 TEMP. SOLD OUT, SEND MESSAGE TO RESERVE COPY
"When asked at a recent show, "What is your band's message? All myexperimental bands have a message," Child Pornography responded,"Our message is, Buy Our Albums." The Beatles, ChildPornography's second album will inevitably make people ask, "Whydoes their album art look just like the Beatles' white album?" and there is no answer. At least that we are giving. So, to thosestrong enough to surmount these ancient riddles of cosmicmeaning, we present Child Pornography's 2nd album - anotherbarage of blown out casio punk, whiny vocals, and dissonant toy-like guitars. Opening for bands like the Moving Units with an "Iguess this is a good match" attitude, meanwhile being considereda noise act by noise musicians themselves, Child Pornographydon't baffle the Rolling Stones who know that CP are their longlost children. You know, the same - but different. Unlike thoseJet Stroke bands which are The Same, yet The Same. For in your faceexcitement on the dance floor, there is only one band aimed atboth your hips and your face, the Beatles. "-Deathbomb Arc MP3

Raccoo-o-oon/Woods "Pre-American Lands" split LP
" It feels like a trillion years ago that the musical universe collectively hyperventilated over the notion of “new weird America,” and thankfully so, as the catch-phrase was/is nakedly inaccurate. In contrast, Pre-American Lands tells it like it really is: insanely OLD. These are the sounds/songs of pre-concrete civilizations, resurrected by two of our country’s most mystic gangs of dream-beard antiquity-drifters. Iowa City’s Raccoo-oo-oon commune with dirt, drums, smoke, and tongues to ignite a sky-burning convocation of psychedelic exorcism and mumbled animal prayers. On the B side, Brooklyn’s Woods wander but are not lost, with stumbling strummed strings treading through a dense brush of forest jazz clatter and mossy electric hum. Pressed on blurry cream/sun vinyl with purple runic art labels and housed in awesome skull-magik screenprinted fold-over jackets (courtesy of Shawn Reed of R-coon), and adorned with a fortune-ensuring synthetic rabbit’s foot.

"This country’s way too big (cant we sell off a few states already??) but every blue moon or so faraway friends fuck distances, drive a billion miles, and UNITE. June 28th, 2006 was one such mesh/bond party of peace-pipe passing, extended high fives, and amplifier team spirit between Tent City, Quintana Roo, Black Monk, and Haunted Castle. Heavy ruling ensued. John Ryan & Co.’s sprawling Arizona backyard – and mercifully dim living room – played host to the geographical delirium of Michigan feedback, California smoke spirits, and hometown desert circle circuitry. Things ended in a 100-plus degrees 5 AM haze, but fortunately the mic was ON. Hear it all.

Watching Him Die/Whitman "Near Purity" cassette ($5) SOLD OUT AND OOP
" Intensity is a varied creature. Theres no question ten billion decibel whiskey-chugging amp-destroyers earn the adjective (most of the time), but vaguer/quieter types burrow the psyche too, obviously. Near Purity pairs two of the So-Cal deserts truest intensity-bearers on one singular C16. Watching Him Die is an inner vision/testament of Jeff and Greg Witscher (of Rainbow Blanket/Men Who Cant Love), recorded deep in a familial dark night of the soul. Three anguished tracks of brotherly rage, intimate themes, and Long Beach longing. Harsh noise at its most naked. Whitmans side-long side, The Rise and Fall of Ken Miller, is a return to the Beaumont loners earliest unsane fucked-folk style. An apoplectic fit of pots, pans, loony bin voices and stringed garbage. Barn-thrash for the chicken coop crowd. Lace-stenciled tapes in color fold-out j-cards, banded with blur-paint denim strips, and sealed with pins of artwork by Greg Witscher. "

Las Vegas Club "Whisky Flats" CDR w/comic zine ($6)
Half imaginary spaghetti-western score, half ragtime saloon brawl, andhalf pirated cowboy movie samples (how many halves is that?),Whiskey Flats is like a night out on the range, gathered 'rounda low fire with some chaw-gnawing men who don't talk much. Justthe sounds of the dark desert winds, somebody peein' over by thecattle, and some tired hands fiddlin' with a banged-up acoustic guitar. There's good, there's bad, and there's ugly, all courtesy ofhard-drinkin' (but harder-gamblin') LVC chief, Joe Kendall. He'shelped out on most tunes by the good Jacob Smigel, who pitchesin coffee-can percussion, homesick harmonica, and lonesomesingin' where need be. A 16-track masterpiece nearly two years in the making, Whiskey Flats is the Dodge City of gun-slinging folkmusic. Covers printed on 50-year-old aged onion paper found at atumbleweed-strewn yard sale, and accompanied by a dusty pamphletof wild west funnies.

Goliath Bird Eater/Robedoor "Inside Men" split cassette $5 SOLD OUT AND OOP
"For reasons related to movies and rollerblades, California is usually considered an outdoors-oriented landscape. Similarly, for reasons related to Xasthur shirts and Jagermeister-on-ice, Bobb Bruno is usually considered not intimately impacted by Denzel Washingtons on-screen presence. However, on both counts, this is WRONG. Inside Men is the weird truth, a black celebration of western interiors, dark electricity, and a driven cinematic enigma. Goliath Bird Eaters side stalks from false-calm Boris-drones to Sleep-style apocalypse crush, all snare/cymbal slaughter and Quaalude riff burial. Robedoors Draining Day trances in more of a bells-and-smoke scene, with zone-out loops and lightless tape shred transmitting the sentiment of superior interiority. Painted tapes in Denzel-emblazoned cases with a Hollywood insert, and DIY shrink-wrapped." -NNF

Mainly theres just Reggie, Mike, David, and Juan arguing about which colors suck (all of them) on a suburban porch. And thank god for that, cause these 909 loyalists are ubiquitous dudes, road-tripping to any two-bit post-punk community center that will let them plug in and play their claustrophobic angle jams. Repetitive beaten guitars, Animal (from Muppet Babies?) drumming, and burrowing, burying bass lineslike boating shoes and cut-off jean shorts, these are signature Abe Vigoda moves.
