Jeugdbrand - presents Smile ()

LP Edition of 300. $24 One of the first things you notice about Dennis Tyfus is that his lips are too small for his mouth. This becomes especially obvious if you go out to eat with him late at night in Antwerp. He has to really grease up whatever sausage he chooses with a lot of mayonnaise in order to slide it through the taut sphincter that guards his mouthly cavern. This physical fact has made Dennis’s speaking voice a thing of horror for many years, but we have only just realized he is able to sing pretty well through this tiny aperture. Indeed, if you are not watching closely, you might think he was actually able to open his… Read more »

Naujawanan Baidar - Khedmat Be Khalq ()

LP Edition of 1000. Co-Release with Cardinal Fuzz / Radio Khiyaban / Ramble Records 600 x Black Vinyl & 400 x Clear Vinyl – OUT OF STOCK  Red Vinyl (68 available) – $22 – Preorder available – Iconoclastic Afghan-American street music project Naujawanan Baidar makes its long anticipated return with “Khedmat Be Khalq,” its third album and first new release in three years. Originally planned as a “studio debut” in the classic sense, a veritable avalanche of setbacks tangled and delayed the recording process over a span of several years as compounded tragedies – both international and personal – disrupted the project’s intended transition from simply being a ramshackle demo/home-recording outlet for founder N.R. Safi (The Myrrors, et al) into a… Read more »

Tom Recchion - Japanese Cassette ()

LP Red Vinyl. Edition of 500.  2nd pressing – $20 Tom Recchion is a legendary character. He is a world-famous art director, a founding member of the L.A.F.M.S., and was even the drummer for Sonic Youth for a brief period. Since the ’70s, Tom has been creating screwed-up music in a dizzying array of formats, from large fully-clothed ensembles to buck naked solo explorations. The Japanese Cassette album falls into the latter category, and it is a head spinning doozy. The music here was originally created in 1986, to be featured on a multi cassette collection being assembled by the Japanese noise musician Hitomi Arimoto. Other musicians involved in the Journey into Pain set included a host of heavies from… Read more »

Michael Zerang / Tashi Dorji - Sciamachy ()

 LP Edition of 500. $22 At last, the trade edition of Schiamachy has appeared, following the test-press/tour version by more than a couple of months.  The album’s title is a term used to describe mock battles between warriors. It’s a fair description of the music on this record, although it’s safe to say the battle was a friendly one. Michael Zerang is a very well known percussionist, composer & improviser from Chicago, with an amazing jazz-based discography. He previously appeared on the Illinois Glossolalia LP (FTR 285) playing with Spires That in the Sunset Rise. Asheville-based guitarist Tashi Dorji is a generation younger than Zerang, but has been an unstoppable force since he hit the scene in 2009, playing in… Read more »

Joseph of Kirezi - The Only Way Out Is Through (Bleeding Jam Vol.1) ()

LP Co-Release with Cardinal Fuzz and We, Here & Now.  $23 Joseph of Kirezi were formed in Ikebukuro (Tokyo) in 2012 wherever since they have been roaming the outermost corners of the black clad psychedelic underground. So please get ready to treat your ears to ‘The Only Way Out Is Through’ – a pounding tour de force of amp destroying killer Fuzz Wah Sike Rock. If there was ever music to be played in that killer sixties exploitation movie – in that biker club scene where every one has been spiked with the brown acid and the bad trip is coming on strong – then this is the music that would be playing – a pounding and ferocious white noise… Read more »

Manas with N.R. Safi - Alone We Are Alone As Far Down As The Sediment ()

LP Co-Release with Cardinal Fuzz, Radio Khiyaban, Ramble Records  $23 MANAS – otherwise known as the duo of iconoclastic guitarist Tashi Dorji and drummer extraordinaire Thom Nguyen – have made tsunami-sized waves in the free jazz and improv scene with their numerous tape and LP releases (drawing praise and support from such luminaries and fellow-travelers as Bill Nace and Ben Chasny) and their face-melting live shows, including high profile touring with Godspeed! You Black Emperor. Back in the summer of 2019 they invited Naujawanan Baidar‘s N.R. Safi to sit in with them at a show organized at Fleetwoods, a self-proclaimed “rock and roll wedding chapel” in Dorji and Nguyen’s current home of Asheville, North Carolina. Captured on tape was roughly… Read more »

Spiral Joy Band - Elvehjem ()

LP Edition of 300. Download code included in jacket. BANDCAMP $23 Recorded in Madison Wisconsin a year after In The River (FTR 654), the latest record from this amazing trio (Troy Schafer, Patrick Best, Mikel Dimmick) breaks a bit with Spiral Joy’s drone-dominant tradition. There is a crackling, noise energy curtain surrounding much of the playing here that makes me remember the sound of the Richmond VA trio, Pelt, from whom Spiral Joy Band draw specific inspiration (as well as two members.)  The listed instruments are bowed gong, gong, bowed bowls, electric guitar, bowed materials amplified & acoustic, mouthpiece and effects, modified zither. So yeah, there is still a patchwork of drones at the heart of Elvehjem, but there is… Read more »

Warren Byrom - Dreaming the Sun ()

LP Drowned Lands Series No.06 $23 Newest entry in the Jason Meagher’s great Drowned Land series is the long playing vinyl debut by Lexington, KY’s Warren Byrom. Recorded back before the Plague, the idea for Dreaming the Sun emerged when Jason caught a show by Warren and Philly-based pianist Hans Chew, who’d already been involved in lots of bands and recordings with Meagher. The sweet depth of Warren’s songs and guitar playing resonated with Jason, and Warren soon found himself in Black Dirt Studios with Nashville bassist Steve Poulton (whose work stretches back to Louisville’s legendary Paul K & the Weathermen) and drummer Ryan Jewell (who has played with half the musicians you can name). Other lovely bits were added… Read more »
