Hume Presents the Phat Daughter String Quartet LP - SCKTS006 $12ppd (International orders add $3)Hume’s Phat Daughter String Quartet, collects four unique string-based compositions on the a-side backed by massive dub versions of those same pieces on the b-side. Hume’s Britton Powell is one of the most exciting Washington, DC based songwriters and Sockets is pleased to share this release with Hugh McElroy's Ruffian Records imprint. As the DC City Paper writes, Hume "deftly splices the quartet into some heavy reggae riddims, sounds kind of like Arvo Part paying a visit to Black Ark."

Little Womenteeth CD - SCKTS002 $11ppd Buy Here (International orders add $3)
Brooklyn quartet Little Women 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.
