Orchid Spangiafora - Eel Asp Flaps Feet ()

CD Edition of 300. $12 Fifty years after I first encountered the music of Orchid Spangiafora, it is a pleasure to be listening to new work by this most bonny of modern sound manipulators. Like Flee Pasts Ape Elf (FTR 096), which we reissued in expanded form in 2013, Eel Asp Flaps Feet (the title of which is an anagram of the earlier set) is an assemblage of immaculate invention. It manages to produce a unique splotch of confusing analog surrealism in an increasingly digital world, and Robert Carey (aka Orchid himself) deigned to provide these notes on creating the music: “This album is a combination of some new material and ideas and some older stuff that had not found… Read more »

Plastic Crimewave Syndicate - Tales Of The Golden Skull ()

LP Co-Release with Cardinal Fuzz $24  Plastic Crimewave Syndicate returns with one collective foot in overdriven space-biker scuzz rock, but the other bigfoot kicking upward into new galaxies of synth punk, no-prog, and freek funk. Yes, dare we say it, the new PCWS LP, Tales From the Golden Skull, GROOVES–but from the perspective of the Japan n’ Kraut/Eurorock undergrounds, coated in some nasty Windy City grime. Aided by the Chicago Cosmonaut Couriers Crew, ala famed renaissance man Mac Blackout (synths/horns/electronics), Przemyslaw Krys Drazek (trumpet) of longtime zone-jammers Drazek Fuscaldo/Mako Sica, Will MacLean on Moog keytar (!– of local Silver vocoder-ed Apples lovin’ treasures Protovulcan), plus the oldest-school synthlord Bil Vermette, who’s been modulating since the 70s. We’ll call Tales From… Read more »

Showcased here is Edwin’s mesmerizing guitar playing, capable of conjuring sonic specters from thin air and Andrew’s limitless drumming, rooted in jazz and totally mesmerizing in fluidity and movement… Read more »

Tomoyuki Trio - SHITSURIN 失恋 ()

LP $22 Sam Giles Vinyl Replica CDr Edition $12 Cardinal Fuzz and Feeding Tube Records are proud to present to you the 2nd LP  from TOMOYUKI TRIO (Tomoyuki Aoki, Mike Vest & Dave Sneddon) following their debut LP ‘Mars’ on the esteemed Riot Season Record Label. Tomoyuki Aoki is the founding member and lead guitarist of the legendary Tokyo Psych Monsters UP-TIGHT. Of all the Japanese psych-rock groups that emerged in the late nineties and early noughties, Up-Tight are the most reverent, the most directly plugged into the source, from their name (Velvet Underground) with knowing referential song titles like “Sweet Sister” to their extended heavy, dark black clad acid fried one chord psych melters — we’re talking bands like… Read more »

lloyd Thayer - Limitation Is Necessary ()

CD edition of 300 $10 Limitation Is Necessary is the third set of music by Massachusetts-based string genius lloyd Thayer we’ve had the honor of releasing. This follows the Duets LP (with percussionist Jerome Duepree) on which lloyd split his playing between a Weissenborn lap guitar and a 22 string  Chaturangui, and the Twenty20 CD which was all done on a double-necked Weissenborn. Both of these album deep and monumental explorations of mesmeric string textures filled with elements that ranged from Indian Classical to Blues to Psychedelic with hypnotic grace. The blend of elements so extraordinary and seamless, his slidework is almost incomparable. When I asked him about the germination and evolution of the new album, he wrote eloquently about… Read more »

Wren Kitz - The Thinker ()

CS Edition of 100. $11 Our last album with Burlington VT’s Wren Kitz, Early Worm (FTR558), came out in late 2020 at the height of the pandemic’s buzz-kill. It was a splendid full band expansion of Wren’s earlier recordings, but kept a bit under the radar as did so many other fine records released during the plague years. Now we are chuffed tom present, The Thinker, which is a wonderfully massive form-move for Kitz’s sound, embracing a full-blown studio sound hearkening back to song-based sophisto-psych-pop classics. There are touches that recall everything from Saucerful of Secrets Floyd to Ned Collette’s Old Chestnut to Fraser & DeBolt’s With Ian Guenther. But while there are a lot of odd and varied examples… Read more »

Margarida Garcia & Manuel Mota - Domestic Scene ()

LP Edition of 300. bandcamp $24 Bassist Margarida Garcia and guitarist Manuel Mota are two of the best known string wielders from Lisbon’s active improvising community. Both players work the edges of sound and form in ways that don’t fit neatly into any genre category, while creating exciting sonic landscapes that appeal equally to fans of avant-garde rock, free jazz and experimental music. They have worked together frequently in a variety of formats — duo, quartet, etc. — but Margarida is the only one Feeding Tube has issued work by previously — 2022’s superb Good Night CD (FTR716). That album was a wonderfully abstract collection of bass-generated sounds hovering in the mist, illuminated from within like the rotating lights of… Read more »

The Cherry Blossoms - Stars Of Tennessee ()

LP Edition of 500.  Bandcamp.  $23 Well into the third decade of their existence as a musical juggernaut, a new (or at least semi-new) quartet iteration of Nashville’s most aggressively shambolic band, The Cherry Blossoms, has recorded this dandy taster of a new LP. And Feeding Tube is tickled pink to bring it to you. Surreal ruralists of the highest order, this version of the Blossoms includes long-time collaborator, Josephine Foster, as a card-carrying member. Josephine has been colluding with the Blossoms for many years, and while most of their meets were live shows that exist only in the memories of those who have witnessed them, some documentation exists in the form of the Mystery Meet LP (FTR511). On Stars… Read more »
