Soap & Glue
Compendium coffin closer from Pat Klassen’s Barn Sour project. A project where the batshit crazy defies the beautiful whilst relishing in unease.

Soap and Glue collages material from all six Barn Sour releases on a variety of labels, Staighre, Careful Catalog, 72 Fold Mane etc alongside a small sprinkling of exclusive material. The final Barn Sour release …

El Incendio Que Se Llevó La Ciudad
*In process of stocking* "During his concert in Lorient in December 2012, Thomas Bonvallet (L'Ocelle Mare / Cheval de Frise / Powerdove...) praised this new Radikal Satan.

Like a whirlwind that sucked me in all at once... a bit like that brilliant split 10" released in 2003 (already)... After the depressive but deep experience of "Au Froid Qui Fait Rougir" (Les pot…

Cell-Fate
*In process of stocking. Edition of 80 copies.* "Microbiology plays such an essential role in my life. Recently, I’ve been reflecting a lot about cells’ lifespan, and how they originate, evolve, transform and eventually die. One of my best friends was diagnosed with metastatic lung cancer months ago. From our perspective, cancer is such a bad thing but life, for sure, is not anthropocentric. It seems to follow its own path, mostly out of our control. Today, thanks to recent studies of epigenetic…

The Grove
Big Blood are Colleen Kinsella and Caleb Mulkerin who live in South Portland, Maine, where they make and record experimental music at home. They have made twenty-something records since 2006. The music is a vehicle for dealing with what is going on in their heads, which runs the gamut from friends they have lost, to frustrations during the day, and the larger world picture. Without sounding insincere, they make music for themselves, that at times can be wildly inconsistent.
In 2007, they releas…

But the bulk of Niko's new tape (which he had first suggested be re…

Elektra
Absolute Tip! A dusty array of machine parts, appliances and objects found throughout the last five years by Ivan Papadopoulos in junk shops, scrap yards, flea markets, abandoned factories and car graveyards were circuit-bent and modified, dynamically shaping his concept of an ever-expanding laboratory comprised of eye-catching, sculpture-like sound-generating devices.
