LP Edition of 250 includes Download Code. Raven Sings The Blues The Sound Projector OUT OF PRINT Welcome to the second solo vinyl album by Jeffrey Alexander, best know these days for the lysergic guidance he provides for SF’s Dire Wolves. But Alexander has underground roots that go far beyond his work with the Wolves. Back in the ’90s, when still based in Providence RI, he ran the Secret Eye label, helmed a couple of superb acid-folk units and was the person most responsible for bringing not one, but two editions of the Terrastock Festival to the city Lovecraft built. Since relocating to the Bay Area, Alexander has spent a good bit of time turning Dire Wolves into one of… Read more »
LP Edition of 300 Includes Download Slip. Dusted Magnet Magazine OUT OF PRINT Great debut album by the new trio led by Detroit/Boston guitar legend Roger Miller. Roger has been going at it since he was a tiny baby, with a recording career that stretches back to Sproton Layer in 1970. He is still probably best known for his work with Mission of Burma, but cognoscenti wallow in his work with the original Destroy All Monsters, F.U.K., Empool (FTR 311), the Farmers (FTR 199), his crazy solo stuff (FTR 217) and recent jamming with M2 (FTR 088). With Trinary System, Roger manages to get wild trio aktion going that touches on all phases of his magnificent trajectory. Things start off… Read more »
LP Edition of 400. Includes Download slip. $19 The Sound Projector Eugene Chadbourne is one of the great guitar players of the modern era. At the time he began recording in Canada in 1975, his music was a unique syncretic formulation. While its most obvious component was free improvisation in a style then most widely associated with English and European players, his music also contained elements of jazz, country, folk, blues, psychedelic and international sounds, referencing these threads in ways that were so diverse and intensely personalized it would take scholars decades to decode them. Volume 3-1/3 is the third of four LPs Feeding Tube is releasing, devoted to documenting some of the music Dr. Chadbourne was creating during the years… Read more »
LP Edition of 250. Includes Download Slip / Lyric Insert $20 The world has been sleeping on William Austin Clay for far too long! For those unfamiliar with him, WAC is an elementary school music teacher from Denton TX who doubles as a prolific DIYer creating a heartfelt yet humorous music that is all his own thing. On this latest album “…Oops!” Mr. Clay has really out done himself. The production is legit and the lyrics are profound. Topics of device addiction, internet trends, and social injustice backed by an experimental and progressive rap/pop music that he produced entirely by himself. This is an album made for these times. Highly recommended! -Joey “Pizza Slice” Agresta, 2019
LP Edition of 400. Includes Download Slip. $19 Vinylization of a self-released cassette issued earlier this year by our favorite Virginia-based guitar player. Witness Tree is a brilliant follow-up to Perry’s eponymous debut LP (FTR 376), and expands upon the form-abstractions he first displayed there. Mr. Perry has a firm and solid touch to his string wrangling, but unlike many of his contemporaries, he doesn’t seem to feel compelled to resolve all the melodic questions he raises. Perry often stops in a place he finds interesting, repeating rhythmic figures while trying out variations on the note/chord sequence that stopped him in the first place. It’s a goddamn fascinating approach and allows him to explore textual aspects of the acoustic guitar… Read more »
LP Edition of 200. Comes with Download Code. Vinyl pressed in Cloudy Orange / Clear Vinyl. Bandcamp $21 The debut album by Western Mass trio, Mozzaleum, is an unholy union of hot cheese pie, cool Italian prog, and wanton horror movie lust. One gets the feeling this’s the sort of band that Roky Erickson dreams about after a few mugs of cocoa and a slasher flick watch-a-thon. The three tracks on the first side all take their names from actual films (none related to the films’ music as far as I can tell), the five on the flip carry on in a more thematic manner. But the music on side two — keys, samples, effects, and Pinto’s amplified bowed-saw —… Read more »
LP Edition of 300. Includes Download code. OUT OF PRINT! COPIES STILL AVAILABLE AT FORCED EXPOSURE Currently based in the Boston area, Joseph Allred was one of the players we first encountered at 2018’s Ten Thousand Incarnations of the Rose festival in Takoma Park MD. His playing had some Basho-esque sequencing that was highly engaging, and the rest of his set was was a killer, off-center swathe of string quiver we could not resist. O Meadowlark is his third solo vinyl (there are cassettes as well), and will surely please many heads. Here’re Joseph’s words on how the album came together. “I recorded this stuff at the end of last year all in one night without really intending anything in… Read more »

2LP with download code. Black Vinyl – Out Of Print Color Vinyl – Out Of Print Soundcloud Cardinal Fuzz (UK) and Feeding Tube Records (USA) present…Dead Sea Apes – The Free Territory Following the dub-inspired ‘Sixth Side Of The Pentagon’, retrospective ‘Recondite’ and Adam Stone collaboration ‘Warheads’, the new album by Dead Sea Apes is their darkest, moodiest work to date, their characteristic unfolding instrumentals now cast in lonesome drones and haunted atmospherics. Taking shape in the shadows over the past several years, The Free Territory brings Dead Sea Apes’ more experimental and introspective aspects to light. Dysmorphic loops, evolving textures and improvisations are suffused with the hiss of old tape decks and analogue effects, and adherence to the default guitar/bass/drums… Read more »
LP Edition of 300. Numbered. FOUND SOME COPIES… $21 First actual vinyl record dedicated entirely to the music of Boston’s boss post-core art-punk trio. There other two long players are splits, with Palberta (FTR166) and Skimask. And while those two bands are certainly estimable in their own rights, the unadulterated CHURN of (NE) Patriots gives this album a very special squirm. Certain aspects of the blabber still make me think of the late, lamented Cows, and their whole whizzing raunch shebang. But there’s nothing in my personal listening history that has this exact brand of sonic adventurism. The Pats still just use guitars, drums and tongues at work in shaping their sounds (certain bass register tones being ascribed to fat… Read more »
