our.love.will.destroy.the.world “polished.glass.autobahn b/w galactic.masada” seven inch single record

  • polished.glass.autobahn

  • galactic.masada
january 2009 release ; beguiling “funky” idm single from this new campbell kneale project ...

no, i’m not kidding (listen to the sound-sample for the intro to “polished.glass.autobahn” - it’s 1999 / morr music all over again !!!) ... that said, of course campbell has his own spin on things, and in fact the gated electric guitar-wash & acoustic strumming (can anyone say “folktronica” - jesus it hurts to even type that) that interrupt things side-way through are a nice touch ...

the b-side fares a little better, again, mining similar territory as neil campbell’s astral social club project (my theory is that they’re slowly becoming each other) with a church organ drone buried amidst a flurry of mutating synthesized textures & delay lines ... just gorgeous.

our love will destroy the world polished glass autobahn 7"

debut single of the new project by campbell kneale (birchville cat motel / black boned angel). campbell says “shoot. the goddamn funkiest noise record ever? like a bop-off between rudolph grey and terminator x. grinding psychedirgecore plastered over ghastly electrosplatter and ambivalent fake-americana strummage. and that’s just side one! side two grovels in halls of gravel, blurring the line between this world and the next... like aldous huxley writing a book about how he lost his marbles whilst listening to hawkwind. like, like, like...everybodydancenow!)” sure to pack the dance floors in hades.

astral social club “monster mittens b/w flaming ramoon” seven inch single record

  • monster mittens (3:56)

  • flaming ramoon (5:01)
april 2008 release ; two sides of drone-thump bliss-out from neal campbell & karl “axolotl” bauer, recorded this past winter ... comes across as the red-headed step child of primitive calculators & the theater of eternal music (albeit the two violins are processed beyond recognition & mixed in w/a wall of drum-machines & electronic skree) ...

astral social club monster mittens 7”

new single by neil campbell’s ever-evolving solo project, astral social club. neil (a band, vibracathedral orchestra) with assistance from karl bauer (axolotl) unleashes two electronic psychedelic noise jams with distorted loops, cascading feedback, and the sound of hypnotic drones recorded in space.

peter wright “magpie attack on the back road to albert town” seven inch single record

  • magpie attack on the back road to albert town (5:13)

  • magpie attack on the back road to albert town (perdition mix) (5:41)
april 2008 release ; ... a completely gorgeous pair of short-form solo guitar & percussion (windchimes, from the sound of things) pieces by peter wright ... the first begins with a light mix of plaintive, chiming figures, then leaps out of its skin into a wall of rectified guitar-wall majesty (listen to the sound-sample) before filtering back into a drone cloud ... the second offers a mix of sparse-note playing over a reverb haze w/rising bowed-metal noises before dissolving into a bed of field-recorded events ... highly recommended !!!

  • blind dog
  • skate tough
  • i’m wormed, 2nd take
“tuneless hardcore” from 1981/1982 by this late/lamented northwestern unit ... has a kind of legendary stardust cowboy type charm to it ...
dirty knobby press release...
the drills skull death 2 7" ep

1981/1982 recordings from seattle's noisiest hardcore band. they were formed by two thirtysomething ex-hippies with distortion boxes and a drum machine who fell in love with the local hardcore scene, recruited some young punks, and recorded a bunch of racket that was out of step with the world. they appeared on the 1983 what syndrome cassette compilation tape along with the fartz, the rejecters, mr. epp, silly killers, and solger, and played loud, noisy, and primitive punk rock. these recordings were lost for 25 years until now.... think forming-era germs meet bobby sox or something equally as awesome and you'll be close.

500 pressed.
