black horizons press release...

bh-29 grasslung – in bad fields c20 two new tracks of brutal synth minimalism from jonas asher, the man behind grasslung and also the excellent phaserprone. this release finds him operating under a tense, fearful, and lonely sound environment, a trait hinted at on older releases, but i feel realized to an even fuller extent here. this is his first work off his own label, and the packaging was something that i felt was very important for this release in particular, given the peerless visual aesthetic the artist has already set forth; obis, letterpressing, diecuts, etc. all packaging is offset printed in silver ink, on metallic black cardstock. there is an obi, with 3 asymmetric cut outs done by hand, as well as a 2-panel j-card with more curved edges. labels are blank silver, and each copy comes with a blackened nail. edition of 100 copies on hi-bias chrome tapes.

phaserprone press release...

nil nilmonic process ppr22 / lp nilmonic process was developed through a self formulated language of both loose form free-feedback (nilmonic process) and computer generated composition (nilmonic processors). simple and raw, black-box pedal feedback in one regard, but meticulously structured and digital in another. bent perception anti-synth. first all pro printed release in the phaserprone catalog (and possibly/most likely, the last pro printed release in the phaserprone catalog?). cut at d&m. edition of 300.

root strata press release...

grasslung sincere void rs59 grasslung is the moniker of brooklyn based musician jonas asher. sincere void is asher’s first major above ground release and we’re happy to help him migrate out of the dungeon and into the twilight. after a string of small run tapes & cd-r’s that ventured into the outer realms of damaged analog drone, asher has taken on a whole new vision for his music. the opener ‘scarred hands we drift’ sets the tone, with lush waves of delayed notes that usher in the records various paths of gauzy atmospherics, piano drift, lost melodies and body rhythms built from static. this music is bare in the best way, with most of the tracks here held together by pings of electricity or faint loops of harmony shot from the other side, all slowly crafted into melancholic tapestries good for keeping you warm during midnight trips to the void. edition of 500 cds in offset printed sleeve.
