Can't/Heather Leigh/Carly Ptak/Zaïmph - untitled - 2x8" lathecut set
Jessica Rylan (aka Can't) provides a 'cover version' of part of Junko's 'Sleeping Beauty' with heavily processed voice and homemade modular synthesizer. Double Leopards' Marcia Bassett pushes the tolerances of the lathe-cut to breaking point with the intensely distorted vocal loops of 'Winter Lips'. Carly Ptak offers perhaps the most unexpected contribution with the documentation of a talk she gave during a workshop dedicated to creative realisation. Heather Leigh assaults a massively reverberant drum set, all the while wailing like some supernatural creature of Scottish legend. Stunning cover art by Karen Constance. PLEASE ENQUIRE.
Arachnid Arcade - Arachnid Arcade - 2x3" CD-R, £5/$10 postpaid
Creepy-as-hell improvisations for electronics, table-top guitar and contact mic, mining a vein of mid-19th century symbolism via late '60s downer psych perfectly evoked by the cover image of serpent-eyed female recumbent among ferns. Edition of 50 in super-nice mini-gatefold sleeve.
Deepkiss 720 - Arse Decks Barry White w/ Sludgehammer - c45, £4/$8 postpaid
10th anniversary reissue of debut DK release in a micro-edition of 25 copies. "Faulty electronics, solo electric guitar and radio wave theft," we said. "Une petite gourmandise de psychopathe," said Le Stereophile. All new artwork.
Liz Allbee/Sharon Cheslow/Weasel Walter - Plants That Kill - CD-R, £5/$10 postpaid
Poisonous improvisations and inspired-by-toxins tropical death-jazz from all-star three-way collaboration. Edition of 100 in pro-printed sleeves with printed disc.
Chora/On Fire - split - CD-R, £5/$10 postpaid

Primitive ritualistic freakouts from Chora coupled with On Fire's extended semi-improvisatory song forms. Edition of 50 in elegant oversized card wallets.
Kylie Minoise - Mondo Luxurious Thrill Fest - CD-R, £5/$10 postpaid
Using just microphone, amplifier and a bunch of FX pedals, this one-man health and safety violation (real name, Lea Cummings) performs guerrilla rituals of blistering white noise, feedback and old-school self-abuse. Edition of 50.
Villa Valley - Bedienungsanleitung - CD-R, £5/$10 postpaid
Semi-archival release from Royal Oak, Michigan stunt duo. VV trade their customary primitive electronics aggro for a dual guitar feedback squall that recalls a more closely mic’d Dead C or the noisiest bits of Red Crayola’s 1967 festival appearances. Numbered edition of 50 copies in paste-up card wallets.
Various - A Ride Across the Skies on a Knife Dipped in Blood - CD-R, £5/$10 postpaid
Volume 1 in an ongoing series. Tracks from Jazzfinger, Family Battle Snake, Atoms (Black Sparrow/Slow Listener etc.), Ben Reynolds, Richard Kamerman, Heidika (A Broken Consort/Harlassen etc.), Injury Chic (Maya of Leopard Leg/Polly Shang Kuan Band), Raised by Wolves, Scare in the Community (DK720 and friend), Number None and Peter Wright.
Green Mist - Rolling King - C30 cassette, £4/$8 postpaid
High-priest of tape machine punishment, Dallas K, cloaked in the murk of an 80s echo chamber. Utterly crepuscular. Block-printed inlay by the man-centipede himself. First edition of 50 copies.
Madame P - Spellbound - CD-R, £5/$10 postpaid
Sampling her vocal in real time and feeding it through various effects, using contact mics and various other minimal electronic devices, Madame P builds layer upon layer of ecstatic tongue.
Towering Breaker - Purges - CD-R, £5/$10 postpaid
A ghost-trawler adrift on cruel Northern seas. Fog banks of delay and the agonized voices of wretched spirit mariners. Edition of 40 copies with free pin badge. 1 COPY LEFT
Venison Whirled - Deaf Spongue CD-R, £5/$10 postpaid
From relatively modest (not to say primitive) technologies - drum heads, piezos, a guitar amp and a single distortion box - Lisa Cameron creates vast, pulsating clouds of noise that'll crush you with their majesty. Edition of 100 in professionally printed sleeves.
Richard Kamerman - Prophethead CD-R, £5/$10 postpaid
Two long compositions/improvisations for electronic and acoustic instruments. Machine feedback, disintegrating tones and prepared guitar. First edition is sold out. Second edition of a further 30 hand-numbered copies now available. LAST FEW COPIES
Deepkiss720 - Assembled by... CD-R, £5/$10 postpaid
Single 54-minute track from undercover UK noise operative. Genre-bending plunderphonics, noise-guitar jam and electronics mayhem. Includes two sets of live vocal/electronics improv with operatic soprano, Madam Velia.
Raised by Wolves - Tipping the Grinning Monkey, CD-R, £5/$10 postpaid
Last recordings as a guitar and drums duo. Genre-flattening improvisations, like Sonny Sharrock playing the songs of Glenn Branca to Jaki Liebezeit's drumming. Seething like a guyser ready to blow. Total psych. LAST FEW COPIES
NEXT UP:
Arachnid Arcade - 2x3" CD-R
