Dash/Anti-clockwise
Scathing sound by John Wiese and Corydon Ronnau, joined by Lasse Marhaug and Will Strangeland of Tearist and Sivler Daggers, cautiously partitioned into short bursts of truly obliterated hardcore. Ruptured and bleeding out, heavily. Seventeen bonus tracks not on "Dash" LP. Edition of 200.
Gate
A new 7" from Sissy Spacek on Wendy. If you have asked yourself this you know how this new vinyl sounds.Short crazy blast of terror, insane fast drums, screaming vocals, feedback and shards of noise. Play it loud. Play it at 45rpm. Flip side. Do it again. This time SS are John and Charlie. Essential lineup.
Dash
Dash' is just over eight minutes long, and it's forty-three tracks. If you've heard the band before then you might know what this means - short hyperactive bursts of the finest extreme noise punk the world has likely ever witnessed. And I don't say that lightly, noise punk that is; there are instruments or at least there were, at some point, but these are chiselled away by hellish jackhammer beats and electrical blasts. It is telling that Lasse Marhaug joins the core duo of John Wiese and …
Rip
Recorded up and down the West Coast by JESSE JACKSON, CORYDON RONNAU, and JOHN WIESE and featuring appearances by YELLOW SWANS, PETER KOLOVOS (OPEN CITY) and PAUL COSTUROS (DEATH SENTENCE: PANDA!). Studio and live recordings with concrète witcery.
Grisp
Running the gamut of improv, concrète, industrial tape music, and cut-up sounds. Featuring appearances by MITCHELL BROWN (GASP), AARON HEMPHILL (LIARS), PETER KOLOVOS (OPEN CITY), RICK POTTS (LAFMS, SOLID EYE, AIRWAY), and source material by SMEGMA and the HATERS. Partially collects material from the Beat (777 Was 666), Grisp, and DDT (Chondritic Sound) cassettes. For those that say things like, "I don't really listen to CDs"—you're totally lame.
Anti-Clockwise
From the same session of Dash LP, on side A 17 new short hyperactive bursts of the finest extreme noisecore . Lasse Marhaug joins the core duo of John Wiese and Corydon Ronnau. On side B live capture recorded in Baltimore, march 2010.
Sepsis
Large ensemble Sissy Spacek recordings featuring the cream of LA. The line-up: John Wiese, Mitchell Brown, Joey Karam (The Locust), Peter Kolovos, Rick Potts (LAFMS), Damion Romero, Corydon Ronnau and Shannon Walter (16 Bitch Pile-Up). All the source recordings used for Sepsis were taken from a group improv session recorded for the Dublab radio in 2008. The recordings from each individual channel were later chopped and rearranged into audio collages byWiese without any regard to preserving group…
Fortune
An on going project of prolific artist JOHN WIESE, SISSY SPACEK has taken many forms: intricate collages of the small, quiet, details that trickle through in between “sound”, drums spliced and severed, 18-piece “noise” orchestras, performances that included nothing but the act of shattering glass as source sound to ones that result in broken basses and bleeding throats, etc. On “Fortune,” Wiese has assembled a trio with CHARLIE MUMMA (drums) and CORYDON RONNAU (vocals): crafting twenty-six…
Epistasis
After the monumental 'California Ax', the solid 'French Record' and the live capture 'Glass', Sissy Spacek return with a new offer. These 17 new tracks cover territory from grindcore, noise, noisecore, and electronics. This is an extreme noise assault based on grinding drums, harsh electronics and screamy vocals no space for acoustic improvisation or melodic sounds.
Recorded in November 2008 by Charlie Mumma–Drums, Corydon Ronnau–Vocals and John Wiese–Electronics. Artwork and layout by John Wies…
California Ax
Up to this point Sissy Spacek have only released 4 proper albums, all of which could probably be squeezed together onto one cd. What we have in this release is 4 new full length albums recorded throughout 2007. Tinsel Dripping Ink (disk 1) is 26 tracks in 45 minutes covering all territory from grindcore, noise, electro-acoustic improv, musique concrete, noisecore, and electronics. It's primarily made up of new work, but also roots through the cutting floor for the best bits that didn't make it o…
