Pale Dawn Creeps
**Rustling, haptic "blues" abstractions. RIYL Bellows, KYE records, Jason Lescalleet, Ekoplekz. Edition of 300 in spot gloss jacket.** "Kyle Clyd is of an orphaned ascendancy, more Geeshie Wiley or Anne Gillis than any of her visible peers. In talking about Pale Dawn Creeps, her debut full length, she refers a kind of blues, itself perhaps a mercurial essence resigned to antiquity: "To believe that the bits of paper in your pocket have real value or to take the word for the thing itself is the "…

Careful alchemists, the duo aims to reach a transmutation of sound and time matter, building lar…
Mureedil
**300 copies** Tonton Macoute is a French band formed in 2006. With a stock of cheap instruments, the trio wanted to find a dense, subtle and massive sound, in order to create motorik soundscapes, psychedelic drones, electric hypnosis and timeless storms. Rehearsals and recordings took place in a basement. Using the studio as an instrument, all the tapes were re-worked to produce this LP record titled “Mureedil”. Early listeners mentioned experimental rock and compared the music of Tonton Macout…
Programmed
** Edition of 200 copies in full-colour sleeve ** Matt Middleton (Crude, The Aesthetics, Dirtlove): "The Futurians are a band that have soul. Their music, a pulsating, minimalist, primitivist, machinistic monster of a thing is at once fiction and fantasy, at once politics and hyper-reality. Theirs is an approach synthesizing elements of no-wave, new-wave, synth-rock, drone rock, doom rock, kraut-rock, Dunedin dirge, robot rock, riot grrllism, and calculator punk." Brad Rose: "Clayton Noone and h…
Soibiast Anti-Culler
** Edition of 300 copies in silk-screened sleeve. ** Soibiast Anti-Culler was recorded in 1995 by the winterless north of New Zealand's Witcyst. Another monolithic skid mark serving of crackers plucked from the man's vast lifetime archive of sound making and beard. Witcyst makes his music with oceans of constant daily mutation. Machines get used upside down and back to front and inside out. Layers of string, tin foil and expired medicine are saved up to dazzle the eye. Parcels in the post come a…

** Edition of 300 copies in a silk-screened sleeve. ** As reported by Stefan Neville: "Clayton 'CJA' Noone and Jon 'Sugar Jon' Arcus are some of my oldest and dearest friends.

We were all part of the same gang in early 1990s Hamilton, New Zealand. Armpit would always happen in rooms next door. They would keep me…

Bruxelles
Alright then, Planam are pushing the boundaries of sanity again with this latest outbreak of lunacy by the French avant-garde quartet joined by freakishly talented vocalists Dave Nuss of NNCK and Mik Quantius from Köln. Gollaboration No.5, 'Bruxelles' was recorded at 2am by Yann Leguay and documents the sort of ritual strangeness that would get you locked up in less tolerant areas of the world. We're not quite sure who does what but Mik and Dave are definitely responsible for some of the …
