Dalthan - 3 ()

LP Edition of 198. Out of Print.  This is the third LP by the duo comprised of Greg Dalton (aka Gary War) and Rob “Sunburned” Thomas, formerly known as Dalthom, but actually named whatever the pair feel like calling it. Recorded shortly before the disastrous election of 2016, it is partially filled with the darkness, paranoia and creeping dread that filled that time period. But there is also a hefty amount of the druggy, electronic ecstasis for which the duo is known (no matter their handle.) Gary and Rob met when the former was playing guitar for Bobb Trimble in the late Oughts. They recorded a (still unreleased) album of “frenzied electronics” in  2012. They followed that with the mellower… Read more »

Orchid Spangiafora + Glands Of External Secretion - Couscous Bizarre ()

LP Edition of 400. $20 Absolute collage hell from the bowels of several known earths. We have worked with the horrible Orchid Spangiafora (aka Rod Carew) before. Back in 2013 we were tricked into doing an expanded 2LP reissue of Rod’s 1979 Twin/Tone album, Flee Past’s Ape Elf. A mistake we swore we’d never make again. Glands are a different story, being a two-headed beast comprised of Allie Caulfied (of Just Bananas magazine) and Bobbi Manring (former leader of both Poop World and The Giant Scissors). Them we never worked with before. Things became confusing when we hosted a live show with one of Caulfield’s other units, Pant Sniff & Dodo, who we thought were actually pretty cool. We suggested… Read more »

Distels - Distels ()

LP Edition of 200. $21 Gorgeous debut LP by a new Belgian duo made up of Annelies Monseré and Steve Marreyt. Steve has been active in a lot of places. I believe I first ran into his work as a member of the folk-psych collective, Silvester Anfang, but he has had his hands in a lot of pots (as it were). Annelies has a long recording history as well, with many fine and floating sides out there to prove it. The pair have known each other for a good long while. Steve appears on a couple of Annelies’ albums, and they previously worked together in a band called Luster. But Distels is a project different from any of their others…. Read more »

Footings - Annihilation ()

LP edition of 500. Yellow “Chick” Vinyl Co-Released with Don’t Live Like Me / Sophomore Lounge OUT OF PRINT  Footings is the long-running/rocking outgrowth of Peterborough NH’s great ruralist duo, Redwing Blackbird. Initially formed as a trio in 2012 by Eric Gagne on guitar and vocals, Footings’ sound embraces a sort of inner light derived from folk music, but surrounds it with a variety of rockist tropes. This rock action can take many forms, especially on this new album, which features their most expanded/expansive line-up yet. Original trio member Elisabeth Fuchsia (frequent Pile collaborator) is on viola and long-time collusionist Candace Clement provides guitar, synth and vocals. Jordan Holtz (from Rick Rude) supplies vocals. Ben Rogers (Eric’s bandmate from Death… Read more »

The Myrrors - Invocaciones : Singles and Strays (2014 – 2016) ()

LP Edition of 700. Co-Released with Cardinal Fuzz $22 Cardinal Fuzz and Feeding Tube Records are proud to announce – The Myrrors  ‘Invocaciones : Singles and Strays (2014 – 2016)’  – a dip into the archives with these shaman from Tucson, Arizona. ‘Invocaciones’ is a compilation of tracks previously available via the mediums of splits/lathes/cassettes and digital download, now all gathered together on this release with the added bonus of an extra 3 minutes added to a now extended ‘Eyes Of Copper’ and  ‘Semillas Sembrades’ no longer split over two sides of a 7”. Over five tracks presented on ‘Invocaciones’ The Myrrors lose themselves in transcendental improvisation, from the opening track ‘Eyes Of Copper’ to ‘Invocación Por Un Verdadero Plan… Read more »

Monocot - Direction We Know ()

LP Edition of 200. OUT OF STOCK In one sense all collaborations and recordings thereof  have a certain surprise factor. Any time two or more people get together to create something from nothing, the exact contours of the resulting experiment are likely to contain at least a few unknown elements. This notion is especially true when the people collaborating are coming from not obviously congruent places. And (at least to me) this makes Monocot a project that was guaranteed to toss a curve.  Monocot is an improvising instrumental duo comprised of drummer Jayson Gerycz and guitarist Rosali Middleman. Jayson’ work I know mostly from the Cleveland rock band, Cloud Nothings, and cool sessions with Matthew J Rolin and Tony Pasquarosa…. Read more »

Kass Richards - The Language Shadow ()

LP Edition of 300 Re-issue / Co-Release with Good Cry Records $20 Reissue of the very limited debut LP by this Massachusetts-based musician. We first ran into Kass’s Good Cry label when she put out Jordan Perry’s eponymous debut, which we promptly reissued (FTR 376). And we are well pleased to be able to do the same for The Language Shadow — a most excellent album by all known metrics. Kass (who works with Meg Remy’s U.S. Girls) sings and plays guitar, dulcimer and small instrument-style percussion. Recorded at Montreal’s Hotel2Tango, her music has the clean, hard bite of a Northern Spy apple. Some of the songs are performed as elegant solos, but there are additional instrumental touches by several… Read more »

Jonny Kosmo - Pastry ()

LP Edition of 300. Co-Released with Dinosaur City Records OUT OF STOCK Jonny Kosmo, the Los Angeles (via New England) registered therapist and home recordist is a card carrying expert in the shape of your desire & the horizon of meanings your dreams catalyze. In his briefcase lives his weapons grade kaleidoscope, a 1972 mayfair recorder, and a neatly folded pair of pants that fits seamlessly to the shape of your longing. His armchair prescriptions for the zeitgeist hover ever present on his most recent LP Pastry which hits you Like 69 cc of heady nostalgia for a time he never lived in. The album is like if David Lynch’s Dr Jacobi and Stevie Wonder teamed up to make a… Read more »

PG Six - Live at the Tavern ()

LP Edition of 150. Bandcamp OUT OF PRINT While we wait for Aaron Rosenblum to finish up his album of field recordings, we sometimes ask him about various tapes he has recorded of other artists. These, he tends to provide more quickly. Thus, here is the first of what we hope to be a series of live shows by various artists, documented by Mr. Aaron. The artist in Pat Gubler, aka PG Six. The venue is The Tavern at Hampshire College. The date is March 30, 2001. This was still an early point in Pat’s solo journey, but the aesthetic documented here appears to be fully formed, and his playing is great on both harp and guitar. The set is… Read more »

Kohoutek - Jurad ()

LP Edition of 350 Co-Released with Cardinal Fuzz $21 While they have released a decent number of cassettes & CDs, Jurad is only the fourth vinyl album released by this long-running DC-to-Philly-based space-juggernaut. Recorded by a quartet iteration of the always mutating ensemble, the music on this one veers between the kind of psych-prog wallow for which Kohoutek is most often celebrated, and the less formally rockoid improvisational proclivities they sometimes display. The session for Jurad went down at Philadelphia’s Sex Dungeon studio in 2012 and resulted in three long tracks. The shortest one, “Cosmic Grease,” opens the B side in classic Kohoutek style. John Stanton’s guitar balances on the cusp of scum and space, spewing fat raw gobs of… Read more »
