Wednesday Knudsen - Soft Focus : Vol.1 ()

LP Edition of 250. Download included inside lp. $24 Here is the vinyl we promised, consisting of the first half of  Soft Focus, the recent solo CD by Wednesday Knudsen. The second half may be along before the end of the year, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves. This here is a solid foot of brilliant musical meditations that will fit snugly onto your shelf RIGHT NOW. The project was begun deep in the Plague Era, when it was hoped things might be turning better. It is virtually all unaccompanied work, apart from a little harp by PG Six on the first track. Wednesday displays her sweetly abundant chops on woodwinds, guitar, keyboards and vocals. The mood is abstract… Read more »

Margarida Garcia - Good Night ()

CD Edition of 300. bandcamp  $12 Portuguese bassist Margarida Garcia has collaborated with some of our favorite artists — Marcia Bassett, Loren Connors and Chris Corsano among them. Loren even wrote the liner notes for Good Night, which is about as a solid an endorsement as anyone is ever likely to get. So we are proud and excited to present the first solo album she’s released through a US label. The three tracks on Good Night are all lovely slides into pools of quivering dream gel. Performed on an amplified upright bass, the arco flow of her playing (with what I assume to be light electronic effects in certain passages) moves like a field of lava sheets overlapping as they… Read more »

BHAJAN BHOY - To Love Is To Love (Vols. 1+2) ()

LP Co-Release with Cardinal Fuzz (UK) Volume One – $21 Volume Two – $21 Ajay Saggar is BHAJAN BHOY. Since his debut album was released in June 2020 (“Bless Bless”), Saggar has received an outpouring of critical acclaim for his recorded output and live shows. On Friday 10 March 2023, Bhajan Bhoy will release TWO separate albums on the same day. Bhajan Bhoy’s third and fourth albums are being co-released by two highly respected independent labels—Cardinal Fuzz (UK) and Feeding Tube (USA). Drawing from a deep well of psychedelia, Bhajan Bhoy further shifts the parameters of the genre with a beautiful and meditative set of tracks. Within this kaleidoscopic sonic universe, you will find raga-esque excursions, meditative Dream House drone,… Read more »

Ambassador Hazy - The Door Between ()

LP Edition of 350 Co-Release with Cardinal Fuzz $21 Cardinal Fuzz and Feeding Tube Records are delighted to present to you the new Ambassador Hazy LP ‘The Door Between’ Following last year’s much loved and long sold out ‘The Traveler’ Ambassador Hazy is back with ‘The Door Between’ (the title taken from an old detective novel) which is a perfect metaphor for album’s explorations into consciousness and perception, seeing the connectedness between all things while also embracing one’s solitude and separation from others.  Themes that were amplified as the record was recorded alone in a basement during a pandemic.  With some new mics and toys featuring on this recording, Sterling experiments a bit more with recording techniques and different sounds… Read more »

Delphine Dora & Jackie McDowell - The Dream of Change ()

LP Edition of 280. Co-Release Round Bale Recordings $21 Gorgeous set of duets by France’s Delphine Dora and Pittsburgh’s Jackie McDowell. This is the first time we have done a release by McDowell (who we first heard back when she was recording as Inez Lightfoot), but we were lucky enough to have done the Divine Ekstasys LP (FTR 342), on which Delphine collaborated with the great Sophie Cooper. The Dream of Change is another amazing piece of music, Delphine mostly provides voice and keys, Jackie adds vocals and strings, and the combination possesses an otherworldly beauty that will knock you right off your cloud. Their approaches to avant-ethereal are different and distinct, but the way they blend and amplify each… Read more »

Jackie-O Motherfucker - Manual Of The Bayonet ()

LP Edition of 472. $20 Manual of the Bayonet is hopefully just the first volume of archival recordings by this most excellent destructo-unit from the Pacific Northwest. The material here was recorded in Portland OR, between the years of 1999 and 2001, with some combination of ten members participating in the sessions. We always viewed JOMF as the West Coast version of free-rock collectives like NYC’s No Neck Blues Band and Boston’s Sunburned Hand of the Man. JOMF emerged from the Smegma-damaged wing of the Northwest sub-underground, and when you’d go see them about all you could figure was that the line-up would include Tom Greenwood. Although, now that I think about it, I recall a tour they did with… Read more »

Mike Watt & Charles Plymell - Live In Fishtown ()

LP Edition of 460. Download slip included in lp. bandcamp. $22 On a hot night in Philly — Saturday August 9, 2008 — Brooke Sietsons’ backyard hosted the No More Bush tour. The line-up that evening was Zaimph, Jack Rose, MV+EE, Tom Carter & Willie Lane, 50 Foot Women with Axolotl, and the sole known appearance of the Mike Watt/Charles Plymell duo. Plymell and Watt had met a year earlier at the Festival Ecstatique in Western Mass, and they hit it off like crazy. So when this tour was coming together, and Charley agreed to reprise the work he did on the More Hair Less Bush tour in ’94, we noticed Watt’s path with the Stooges might intersect around the… Read more »

Bruce Russell - Circuits of Omission ()

12″ 45rpm Edition of 440. $20 Herewith is an extraordinary 45 RPM album of solo electronic music by NZ’s great contrarian, Bruce Russell. The pieces were all created using machines built by Clinton Williams, whose musical work under the OMIT monniker has long been championed by Bruce. Unlike many of Williams’s own recordings, which contain kosmiche extensions recalling the ’70s work of Klaus Schulze, the 15 improvised Sonatas presented here mix a few of those sorts of sonorities with a variety of more harshly-edged tones. There are also post-techno references recalling the work of folks like Scott Foust and Stefan Jaworzyn, in addition to the artists to whom some of the pieces are dedicated — musicians Ralf Wehowsky and Martin… Read more »

Turner Williams Jr. - Briars On A Dewdrop ()

LP Edition of 350. Drowned Lands Series no.4. Bandcamp link $23 Turner Williams Jr is a string-player out of the same Alabama surrealist scene that gave us Rev. Fred Lane & the Say Day Bew gang, Davey Williams & LaDonna Smith’s Trans Museq universe, and the Sweet Wreath madmen (who have been working with Johnny Coley, Silica Gel and others). Some crazy shit has gone on down there, and Mr. Williams soaked it all in before heading up to NYC, where he fell in with some of the Sound @ One scene. Which added another layer to the freak potential of his playing. After drifting around the East Coast for a few years, Williams packed up and moved to Marseilles,… Read more »

Joseph Allred - What Strange Flowers Grow In The Shade ()

LP Edition of 480. Bandcamp. $21 Tennessee-based string bender, Joseph Allred likes to change things up from album to album. But usually he does this one element or instrument at a time. On What Strange Flowers Grow in the Shade, Joseph adds a whole heck of a lot of elements. And he does so without ever really disguising the identity of his music. The six tracks here were all recorded with different line-ups. “The Valley” features Chris Davis (Cherry Blossoms) and the Magic Tuber Stringband. “The Ruins” is a Basho-esque solo piece created with large varieties of instrumental glisten. ”A Long Winter” features previous collusionists, Mikey Allred on trombone and Matt Johnson on synth. “Lake Erie” features Jen Powers on… Read more »
