hair police drawn dead lp whats inside the putrid, rotting, decrepid bandages ruined by the slow feral decay of time ... its in your ears, that noise that creeps up in one small, rat-like, continous tonality of frozen windshields cracking from the chill of mortality that pulsates louder and louder and you caress the bandaged corpse and the dust of the long-deadened flesh shuffles from the caked, pale red cloth and the pulses turn to howls which are slashed quiet by the bludgeoning sterility of your mundane existence. take this with you under the dirt. this is the vinyl version of the cd that was released on hanson records. limited to 475 copies with insert.

ltd#128: pine smoke lodge "twelve faces of the smoke mask" c36 the woods up near portland, maine are getting baked in the sun and resulting in piles of reflective, organic sonics. pine smoke lodge have been hitting it hard lately with killers on stunned, blackest rainbow and their own existential cloth label. it's been one hell of a ride. junkyard tribal percussion bombs out the basement so the wailing drones can sleep in comfort. metallic shards ring out while wind instruments scream at the sun. this all leads into emanations as thick as the winter snow pack. this is heavy. really fucking heavy. they turn things back on themselves on the flipside, pitching their voices through reverb-laden caves and drowning everything under the ice. pine smoke lodge are finding their groove right now and the places they're going to take it? who the fuck knows. but latch on for the ride because it's a beautiful place to be. drink it down. edition of 70 copies.

• tuvan annex (2)

digitalis limited press release...

ltd#84: sacred basil "tuvan annex" c30 i've long been a fan of collaborations, tape trading style or otherwise. sacred basil is the trio of nicholas barker (tempera), matt lajoie (cursillistas) and jordan spencer (gorman) and their collective talents are lighting up the skies. "tuvan annex" starts of shimmering and peaceful but it's a total ruse. guitar lines get washed into an oscillating oblivion and everything gets bathed in a heavy dose of noise swash. it's like being stuck in a tornado, desperately searching for a way out. the shimmer returns but with full-on density and triumph. each shift feels in the zone. blissed guitars and electronics join together, siamese twins moving in perfect harmony. contemplative, sparsely used notes flicker like a lightbulb about to give up hoping to make one final impression before crossing the great divide. there's something almost heartbreaking about it all. but those aren't the only paths being crossed - not at all. rickety, looping acoustic guitars thrum their way forward with barely-audible background beats and electronic backwash. it's like being lost when nobody wants to admit their mistake. it's unsettling but worthwhile as it finally comes together and everything gets sucked to the bottom in a massive, exquisite whirlpool of sound. love those collaborations. edition of 90.

"wankers" has been stewing for a while but finally is getting let out from its cage to wreak havoc on unsuspecting listeners. mindbender baby, let's floor it. squealing feedback with cut-to-bits beats and trashcan percussion go into some futuristic tribal bounce. on the back end you're left wondering how in the fuck did i get here? unexpected guitar hooks skronk into the foreground, jumping the tracks laid down by minimal electronic beats. sometimes this shit even gets pretty, which really throws you for a loop. it's one fucked-up dream sequence that never wants to end. always searching for the loudest path, blue sabbah black fiji are unlike anyone else and thank your lucky stars for that. edition of 80.

ganglians monster head room lp+7" glee. see that’s a word i rarely party with in my codex but it’s just the one that i would ascribe to ganglians. everytime i see these chaps play i come away with a big old grin on my world-weary face. how do they do it? well it’s the lightheartedness in their playing ... the angelic wilson-esque vocal harmonies ... then from out of nowhere come those west african guitar stylings! and yet i can never pin down this band’s sound ... not that that’s a bad thing. in fact it’s always been a sure sign for me that the music’s doing something right. from the lazy day musings of to june to the monumental yarn valient brave. jam this on your next road trip or on your back porch drinking an arnold palmer. this is a record for summertime if ever there was one. it’s pop music in the best sense of the word ... paramount and perennial. hot on the heels of the recently released self titled woodsist 12" and the split 7" with their buds eat skull.
