I dischi del Barone

This Fits / This Is Familiar
* Edition of 200 copies. Stamped white labels, postcard attached to the cover, insert * One of the most played albums in the IDDB office of 2015 was Sarah Mary Chadwick's 9 Classic Tracks (Siltbreeze). On this 7" the Melbourne-based artist gives us two tracks from the same session as the new album Roses Always Die which was recently released on Rice Is Nice. Two tracks of just guitar and vocals, stripped down to the bare minimum and driven by an austere ambience.
Cut A Crooked Track
* Edition of 200 copies. Stamped white labels, postcard attached to the cover, insert * Six new tracks from Mark Anderson and Mark Sadgrove, New Zealanders now based in Japan. Obtuse duo skronk starting out on a fairly reasonable note with 'Scantling' but then slowly deconstructing the song format track by track. The Quemada description of their very underrated 2015 12" makes perfect sense on at least the A-side, "image a Back from the Grave band that was weened on Operation of Sonne and fronted…
Magnet Hill
* Edition of 200 * "Jesse Dewlow from Philadelphia follows up two great albums on Siltbreeze (Tricephalic Head, 2014) and Blackest Ever Black (Gunshots At Crestridge, 2016) with his first vinyl 7". Compared to earlier recordings, Magnet Hill is rather minimal and mainly based on guitar, that "a murky sub-underground feel resembling South Island NZ pop played inside of an armored car" line may still be somewhat on point, but these two downer gems are deeply rooted somewhere else. Both sides ends …
1.001.006 / 1.001.007
* Edition of 200 * A static, haunting bliss from Michael Morley's Music for The Never Quartet project. The New Zealand-based artist and musician is best known from The Dead C but has also recorded music as Gate, The Fuck Chairs etc, as well as a couple of albums under his own name. "Music for The Never Quartet seeks to employ the resonating qualities of wooden acoustic guitars placed upon items of wooden furniture to reveal connections between time and space by sonically activating the instrumen…
Equinox 20
* Edition of 200 * A slow-moving, transcendental psych-juggernaut from Headroom that follows up releases on labels like Ever/Never and Trouble In Mind. Started out as a solo outlet for guitar-player Kryssi Battalene, Headroom shortly evolved into a full band, on this recording with stalwarts Stefan Christensen, David Shapiro, Rick Omonte and Ross Menze. With close to 13 minutes split up over two 33rpm sides, the hypnotic 'Equinox 20' is a very fine example of what's been cooking in New Haven dur…
Elemental Dreaming
**200 copies** Primitive Motion is the dream-float machine driven by Brisbane residents Sandra Selig and Leighton Craig. Elemental Dreaming consists of two songs, the mesmerizing A-side Telegrams For Comets recorded in 2012 (with guest beats by Glenn Donaldson from The Skygreen Leopards etc) and the slower Night Colour Song recorded in 2016.
Glitchblade / Sand Between Us
**200 copies** Hazy 2019 recordings from the long running Copenhagen free-rock duo Family Underground. On Glitchblade and Sand Between Us Sara C. Czerny and Nicolas F. Kauffmann goes into a full droning and swampy garage mode that sort of recalls a sunlit yet gloomy Denudes on half-speed. Following up a trio of great releases on Into The Lunar Night, Ba Da Bing! and Joy De Vivre.
Atuan
**200 copies** Deemed to happen IDDB EP from the long running Dunedin, NZ act The Futurians. Full throttle avantgarde punk/sci-fi synth chaos, the two-suite Atuan follows up the massive, monotonous blown-out blasts of the recent Programmed LP (Planam, 2018) and their short cut on the Porcelain Summer compilation 7". Much has been said about The Futurians, some of our favorite quotes are "the sound of gay robots disco dancing and crushing everything underfoot", "the remnants of space debris raini…
Först River Man Allt
**300 copies** Kizza Ping formed in Linköping 1980 from the ashes of local punk bands such as Spy, RAS, ÅOBF and Zpamhead. Much in line with the current strains of Ny Våg/postpunk happenings around the country in the early '80s, the six members of Kizza Ping went for more a pop-oriented sound though still being somewhat firmly rooted in their DIY punk past. Influences came from acts like New Order and Reeperbahn, but the band added their own touch to the sound, especially thanks to the harmonizi…
A Lowtides Rising... (Explorations of NZ Acoustic Music)
**250 copies** An epic who's who of New Zealand underground music circa 2000, featuring Pumice, Peter Wright, Kunst / Veet (Witcyst), CJA & Anamarie, Sleep, Donald McPherson, GFrenzy, Kieran Monaghan, Swagger Jack, Birchville Cat Motel, Richard Francis, 1/3 Octave Band, Tim Cornelius, Seht, Antony Milton and James Kirk, a total of 16 tracks. Originally released as a CD-R on Antony Milton's PseudoArcana in 2003, reissued as a 2xLP in a heavyweight deluxe deluxe gatefold sleeve and insert with lin…
The Island Of Taste
**300 copies** Some of us will never forget when we first heard Idea Fire Company's majestic and tremendously beautiful The Island Of Taste. One of the absolute favorite albums of the last 10-15 years in the IDDB Gothenburg HQ, and Fördämning Arkiv are extremely proud to now actually be a small part of this album's legacy. Over the seven tracks, Idea Fire Company core members Karla Borecky and Scott Foust were joined by Jessi Leigh Swenson and Meara O'Reilly as well as Frans de Waard, Graham Lam…
La Chrestomathie du Désespoir
**200 copies** The first new Small Cruel Party vinyl release in over 15 years, two newly recorded 5-minute pieces for I Dischi Del Barone. Mastered by Giuseppe Ielasi. Small Cruel Party's work is focused on the inherent mysterious and beautiful quality of sound itself, with the emphasis on noninstrumental sound sources, the source itself not being readily apparent. Work generally involves manipulation of physical objects in acoustic space and a great deal of concentrated activity. Even in pieces…
Blod & Miljö
**200 copies** Inevitable collaboration from Arv & Miljö and Blod, two decent examples of the Gothenburgian bullheadedness that has occured around the FFFM/never gonna fit in circles in town. A weird 9-minute collage split up over two 45rpm sides, cuts from the past fades in and out with Svensk Sommar I Stilla Frid session leftovers straight from the floor tangled up with spicy snippets from limited to 14 cassettes, some 2018 live action and newly recorded nonsense. It's a poor man's mash up, an…
Suns Movement Across Darkening Skies
**200 copies** Unearthed 1993 recordings caught on melting master tapes in the back of a second hand bookshop in Hamilton, New Zealand. A rare and temporary teen heat trio-incarnation of Armpit, which besides Clayton Noone and Jon Arcus also had Gordon/Nodrog joining in on drums. Four or five tracks were apparently recorded with this line up that also performed live once or twice. Some twenty-five years later, the hazy magic that occured in the back of that bookshop falls in somewhere in the mid…
Got To Stop Me / Hot Tarmac
* Edition of 200 * Black vinyl, white cardboard sleeve with postcard attached, stamped white labels, insert. Plays at 45rpm. Stark electronic abstraction from the London-based duo Komare which consists of Dominic Goodman and Peter Blundell from Mosquitoes. Two tracks of industrial DIY minimalism creating an organic sound world from broken rhythms and extraneous sound generated by modular synthesis with minimal bass figures and voice that is both an instrument and a cloudy narrative. With 'Got To…
Monokultur
200 copies. Black vinyl, white cardboard sleeve with postcard attached, stamped white labels, insert. Plays at 45rpm. One of my most cheered moments this year was sitting drunk on my living room floor when someone put on an unmixed version of 'Lindholmen - Stenpiren' out of nowhere. Right there and then the most jaw-dropping amalgamation of the first bunch of Rough Trade 7"s, Berlin Super 80 and Gothenburg 2018. Monokultur is a new duo that consists of Elin and Julius from Skiftande Enheter…
Third
200 copies. Black vinyl, white cardboard sleeve with postcard attached, stamped white labels, insert. Plays at 33rpm. In the ongoing affair between New Haven and Gothenburg something new from the IDDB office favorite Stefan Christensen was very much inevitable. This time he teams up with David Shapiro and Ian McColm of Nagual for a third collaboration (the first two released as cassettes in 2017 on C/Site and Gilded Throne respectively). 11 minutes+ of pure guitar drone bliss, part drawn-ou…
Rust Clatter For The Midwest Sun
200 copies. Black vinyl, white cardboard sleeve with postcard attached, stamped white labels, insert. Plays at 33rpm. Two new sides from Crazy Doberman, both culled from recordings made during spring 2018. The psychedelic ambience on the A-side at times brings to mind Swedish communal collective rock ala TGS and such, that same headspace, though passing on in slow motion. Flip the seven inch and that line “if the Glenn Miller orchestra recorded a tape for Industrial Records and microwaved the ma…
Continent
200 copies. Black vinyl, white cardboard sleeve with postcard attached, stamped white labels, insert. Plays at 45rpm. Two new tracks from Canada's Korea Undok Group.  Continent is a record about memory, time and identity, and marks the first non-reissue vinyl output from KUG. The title track, and a-side of the record, concerns memory and its disintegration over time. Throughout our lives, we encounter far too many people, places and things—so many that it will always be completely impossible…
Backlit Colander With Holes Shaped Like Numbers
200 copies. Black vinyl, white cardboard sleeve with postcard attached, stamped white labels, insert. Plays at 33rpm. Two six-minute montages of reversed mitosis episodes, in which scaly pods, ruptured eggs, and clumps of partially digested hair smush through one another and glom together in unstable strains of S-Glass-spanktified dad-noise. 'Backlit Colander With Holes Shaped Like Numbers' crawls with bacteria from munched electronics, murmurs of a chimney-entrapped Frampton (plus camel, but th…
