july 2012 release ; ... from the mind ::

hey man, i saw u listed the oesb lp. u got probably tons of shit to get done so to make things easier on yer write up (u mentioned to me that sometimes getting the artist to drop a hint or two to you can help you), i was just gonna cue you into the fact that that lp was recorded 2 years before the mego one came out. oesb shut down operations for a while and the debut thought broadcast was to come out back in 2010. it sat for 2+ yrs. so the lp is a bit of a turn for olde english as well, seeing as how in 2010 todd was releasing all the post noise pop material and that record is on a pretty raw vanity / pinakotheca rec.'s type tip. but also, that stuff is some of the earliest tb recordings, way way before the mego thing. weirdly enough, the two lps came out about 2 months apart, with mego not really knowing at all that oesb was gonna do a record and oesb finally scrapping $to get it out.

no one really knows the score, so i thought i'd let you know. most people have been lumping them in unknowingly. hope alls good w u , thx

... there you have it :: ravi, you had me at “raw vanity / pinakotheca rec.'s type tip” ... best thing oesb has done in ages (good to have you back todd !!!) ...

thought broadcast "s/t" lp

you can not stop thinking. about 18, i finally calmed down, i thought i could stop thinking completely. i become a zombie for four years. then, in a broken heart, i started again. i came out of the "grip" that held me tight. i started hearing voices. i also tried to kill time. first, you must confess that it's people like you and i believe that is broadcasting the idea. it is terrible. when i look around, i am someone who is the same idea with me. my idea is to broadcast. you can read our thoughts. the first is that we can consider a bad idea (like gender or a person's weaknesses). second, we believe that we have the power to make people read our thoughts, even if it is bad. because it has the broadcasting of this thought, please consider why it is a lot of people. to hear any ideas you and i are thinking of and i thought of you. some people think that for all this world, and you can hear what you think they are. the reason for this is that you can read the mind of everyone of us. there have been times when i have an idea that i will consider 'evil'. i do not believe them, but i know they are in my own voice in my head. then, i would think that they have been implanted by external forces trying to influence my behavior. i just do not want it to develop into something like i do not believe, my inner voice is your own or something like that.

oesb-43 grippers nother onesers (at slimer beach) lp

 completely remastered issue of a cult classic tape from 2004/2006. limited to 450 copies. pro-printed black & white covers and insert.

 also known as:
lamborghini crystal "1992 cool runnings holiday" released 2006 on cassette on new age tapes. recorded 2004 in the parking lot of the jim daytona avenue 711 memorial. dedicated to richard ramirez.

grippers nother onesers is a channeling of teenage mutant glue sniffing psycho dreams, a prelude to the psychotic beach bum depression induced by junkfood and huffing siphoned gas out of the oscar meyer mobile.

"after dark cravings" starts out with a voice saying ''hello earthlings'' which is an alien mistaking a candy bar for the higher life form inhabitants of earth's soft analog air minimal lo-fi satanic ritual resinated at the bottom of a plastic bong. ashes of the charles manson family band. a flash of memories of a grateful dead tape playing after you picked up a psycho hitchhiker. jim carrey self-consciousness about his new nose job at the oscars, being a vessel for the voice of the omnipresent leviathan comprised of lost souls stranded naked on the shoulder of the fast lane.

'aside from the heavy richard ramirez zone i wanted the record to have the feeling of when you find a half empty bottle of anti-psychotics and just see the name of the owner and you wonder where that person is now

- ptc

so please enjoy this space caker from the heaven's waiting room of custom s.r.o. song booth stars.

i’m on record as a fan-for-life of zac’s various transgressions ; this one ups the ante from the similarly seagal-themed “hard to kill” while simultaneously bringing the energy levels down ... these short song-nuggets certainly have a head-nod flair to them (listen to the sound-sample for one of the more “right on” blasts) & the tempos pretty much stay in the lumbering range(s), with much lo-fi drumming pitched down about an octave for that ‘tussin come-down effect ... righteous.

oesb-33 black joker "watch out!" lp

fully re-mastered vinyl edition of what was originally a europe-only cassette released in an edition of 80 copies from the solo project of spencer clark of the skaters / vodka soap / monopoly child et al. spencer describes black joker as being more drone-focused and with faster percussion than the recent monopoly child sets. indeed, the percussion is thrifty and up-front, with arcs of criss-crossing time signatures generating maximum space/time confusion.  the combination of trance-informed momentum and bubbling electronic sci-fi tones sounds closest to one of the sun ra arkestra’s most future-visioned takes on “ancient aethiopia” while expanding on the classic post-angus maclise feel of all of the best skaters material. comes with pro-printed 80s style 12” maxi-sleeves with liner notes by fortean authority, itinerant visionary and skaters road mangler in-absentia charles berlitz.

... much like most of ferraro’s recently released glorp, meringue’s sub-fidelities leave much to be desired in the way(s) of definition ... but i’ll concede that, amongst the vast swaths of neo-somnambulist gunk clogging the “oh shit so limited highest recommendation oh snap sold out” small-run lp lanes these days, this one actually offers a good bit in the way of magic trance-out applications, remaining aloof in comparison to the straight mid-late-80s temple-worship that seems to define most of this stuff ...

oesb-30 flashback repository "s/t" lp

remastered issue of an obscure tape from the mysterious outer limits collective (wingdings / explorers / matrix metals / foxy baby / yoga / 90210 / etc). limited to 425 copies in pro-printed duo-tone sleeves with a 5-page essay booklet.

the flashback repository is a storehouse of collective waste consciousness from all beings of the universe, i.e. all unfiltered myth & material of the human/alien/animal mind, laying dormant in a hidden dimension resembling a disposal area or transfer station somewhere within our spectral plane. a vast depot for all universal race memory that passes beyond our mortal earthly cognition and subconscious apparatus. this reposited latent substance is available to all organisms within our particular sphere, all beings earthy and paranormal. the recordings here represent the three main stages of unconscious withdrawal: "glimpse", "recurrence", and "manifestation" - they are a blue print of sorts. there may be a possibility of the retrieval of materials - the recycling of this substance alongside the development of individual real-time understanding of eternal materials and impressions that are constantly escaping our sensory grip. the repository shows itself as what appears to be part of an undivided whole, a section manifested in our dimensional field through thin channels of emotion & vibration. these phenomena are the result of direct brain-repository contact, a glimpse into the infinite plenitude of energy and data housed by the repository. with each glimpse, each peek through these looking-glass channels, the mind gains a deeper insight into the potentials hibernating within the data-pool and the particular characteristics and movements of the repository. it is important to note that the usage of the word 'flashback' connotes not only the re-collection or re-existence of memory and dream data from the past, but also the future. for instance one can 'flash forward' just as easily and achieve the desired results.

pussyguttgathering strengths” long playing record

  • gathering strengths • silence within (20:00)

  • gathering strengths • spirit walker (15:06)
december 2009 release ; third album from tractor / gypsy-laced doom act pussygutt (following their epic oesb debut “story of rats • sea of sand” 2lp and a disc on 20 buck spin from late year) ...

after a good 10 minutes of field recordings & deft chamber-ensemble tone-clustering (which actually earns the lucier reference below) the pair let loose with their prescribed blend of slow, detuned riffs & soaring violin ... the b-side piece actually sounds much like kosugi’s “catch-wave” played back at 16rpm, with some loose violin figures worming over a bed of mellotron & earth-shaking hand-drumming ... great stuff.

oesb-19 pussygutt "gathering strengths" lp

 third full-length release from this boise, idaho duo following two critically acclaimed efforts - the "sea of sand" double-lp on oesb and "she hid behind her veil" cd on 20 buck spin. pussygutt continue to develop their unique brand of doom soundtrack heaviness on gathering strengths, which features two side-long compositions titled "silence within" & "spirit walker". clarinets, violin, and cello are all prominent - lending this album even more of an avant-classical feel than previous efforts. the band calls this album "an esoteric meditation on soul and nature" and they cite alvin lucier, henry gorecki, and arvo part as primary influences for these recordings - along with the funeral doom of groups like nortt, catacombs, and celestiial.

packaged in heavy duty covers silkscreened by monoroid, limited and numbered edition of 550 copies.

vinyl debut from the legendary/mythical sky juice twins. the brothers sky juice jones and sky juice jackson are musical telepaths and simply have no fear, riding the groove as long as it takes to navigate the back alleys of cleveland's most dangerous neighborhoods.

severely mangled guitar gunk astral-projected from deep inside the twisted lobes of lambsbread's zac davis. unavoidable private press vibe, with mumbled cliff's edge moan and groan vocals, drums courtesy of the corwood session-player circa electric end, and guitar rave-ups that share a tattered couch with the index, raven, low end lars, and vulcan.

while the de rigeur comparisons to ariel pink et.al are inevitable, ms. cohen has her own take on things to offer here ; her guitar playing is solid (albeit drowned in array of metalloid flanges & casioid grit) & the production values here are high enough for the listener to glean the individual components of each song ...

thematically, i’m hearing a strong laurel canyon influence, rather than the post steely dan cocaine-trip wasteland mined by pink, lending a softer, dreamlike edge to the proceedings ... i’m torn between this & the recent circuit des yeux lp on de stijl as my come-down lp these days, both shining a light in an otherwise dark corner of contemporary sound i’d have otherwise neglected ...

oesb-16 alice cohen "walking up walls" lp

"walking up walls" is the second solo album from long-time musician and visual artist alice cohen. in contrast to her previous studio efforts these are raw home recordings with an intensely personal vibe. the sixteen short song-sketches alternate between densely layered shoegaze burners and shimmering, ethereal drifters. exploring shadowy corners and using the musical equivalent of automatic writing - this was considered to be a sonic diary and not originally intended for release. for reference points think "pink opaque" era cocteau twins filtered through the early 90's lens of new zealanders like alastair galbraith & sandra bell.

january 2009 release ; full run of this prior edition-of-42 lp, pressed back in september for the band’s european tour ...

two tracks ; “manilla” warms to a creaking / rumbling stasis, akin to taking the ferry across to the bygdøy penninsula to visit the viking ship museum ... “king radness on his royal swim(love their humboldtyeah, brah” titles, btw) takes raymond dijkstra’s stuck chord organ for a tumble down the stairs in a glass-trinket factory, before time slows to the point where you can make out each individualplink” ...

so, yes, musically-speaking, a++, as always from these guys. but what really made me sit up & take notice when the box landed was the hand-carved nature of the hacked gatefold sleeves (designed by nate nelson) ; essentially two separate chip-board lp jackets glued together to form one cohesive whole, with all sorts of errant squiggle & lace donning every surface ... brilliant.

oesb-09 pussygutt "sea of sand" double lp

'pussygut' is an old western slang term for the violin or fiddle -- as the strings used to be made from cat intestines. pussygutt is the duo of blake green and brittany mcconnell from boise, idaho. they have created a distinctive flavor of outsider 'doom' with unique instrumentation that coincidentally features lots of violin (brittany is a classically-trained violinist), along with synths, gongs, bowed cymbals, crystal goblets, organ, drums, clay pots, forest sounds, ducks, various electronics, tons of feedback and humming bass-amp, and as if all that's not enough, there's a secret weapon up their collective sleeve -- the tractor!!

the group holed up for nine months in their studio experimenting and composing the four side-long pieces for this double album. they are joined on sea of sand by seattle's garek druss (of a story of rats and ear venom) as collaborator/3rd member. garek contributed his experiments with field recordings, repetition, electronics, and sound-collage to the proceedings. the music? extremely heavy. deeply weird. a friend of the band coined the term 'soundtrack ficianarcoleptics' to describe who this album will most appeal to and indeed, the entire album is largely cinematic in its approach. the 'riffs' & drums mostly stay hidden in their caves, venturing outside on a few brief excursions to catch some moonlight and provide punctuation to the drones and other assimilated madness.

limited edition of 550 hand-assembled copies.

for his side, j.p. jenkins (of ghosting, portland bike ensemble) layers acoustic guitars in a psychedelic, personal style that's more intuitive and exploratory than technically inclined. his unique approach completely sidesteps any of the current neo-folk/fingerpicking trends and goes for something far more organic and amorphous.

oesb-06 mouthus / cousins of reggae split lp

a side each of fertile noise-rot from montreal's cousins of reggae and brooklyn's mouthus. soundly rejected by discovery channel, the cousins' five-track suite about the hudson bay follows up their limited and hard-to-find debut lp (on ohnonoise) and a recent cd-r on mouthus's our mouth imprint. they set sail with some hyperactive stompers and narcoleptic stumblers intent on capsizing all vessels in their path before coming under attack by a squadron of pissed off jet-skiers. on the flip are two massive mouthus jams : 'new drugz' and 'better than facemask' which perfectly capture a day spent peaking on mescaline at the daytona 500.

limited edition of 500 with unique handpainted covers and full-color inserts.
