Dire Wolves - Flow and Heady ()

LP Edition of 500. Co-Release with Cardinal Fuzz OUT OF PRINT ‘Flow & Heady’, the stunning new record from Dire Wolves Just Exactly Perfect Sisters Band, captures the group flying high at the height of their powers. Recorded live at the ‘Festival Of Endless Gratitude’ in Copenhagen, and released jointly on Cardinal Fuzz and Feeding Tube Records, this beautifully packaged LP documents some of the band’s 2019 European Tour. (*the included download code also features two additional live concerts!) For these dates, the Dire Wolves were joined by Nik Rayne of The Myrrors (guitar and clarinet) and Bell Lungs from Scotland (violin, voice and birds), each adding potent textures to the collective’s deep sonic glossolalia. The music Dire Wolves create… Read more »

The Escalation - ST ()

LP Edition of 150 Co-Released with Bunkland / Distand Bombs $29 The Escalation is Bruce Russell and Peter Wright. Bruce says “An occasional project for two guys who lived in the same small town in New Zealand. Peter Wright has had a long career – emerging from the post-punk Industrial miasma of early ’90s Christchurch into an open landscape of drone-based guitar improvisation. Bruce Russell’s career is even longer, hobbled to the shadow of his eternal supergroup, the Dead C. His solo guitar playing is really the relevant touchstone here, starting as an experiment with the live support of pre-recorded analogue tape-loops, eventually he felt capable of defying a paying audience with just a guitar. Out of that tragic struggle… Read more »

the Iditarod - the Ghost, the Elf, the Cat and the Angel ()

LP Edition of 250. $20 It is with great pleasure we announce the vinylization of the fourth (of five) albums released during their lifetime by this superb Providence-based acid-folk duo, who existed from 1996 to 2003. The Iditarod was primarily the vehicle for Carin Wagner and Jeffrey Alexander, who created a spare UK-damaged folk sound with intimate psychedelic touches and fully contemporary atmospherics, although they often had friends along for the ride. On this album (edited down from the original CD), guest musicians are Matt Everett (from Alec Redfearn’s band, Eyesores), Jesse Poe (from Tanakh) and Margie Wienk (of Fern Knight and Eyesores). Together, they create a lovely haunted forest of sounds.  Although the ensemble is small, certain passages (like… Read more »

Rhyton - Pharaonic Crosstalk ()

LP Edition of 400 Artwork & Design by Robert Beatty. Bandcamp OUT OF PRINT The sixth LP by NYC trio, Rhyton, is as heavy as an Egyptian space-funeral. The vibe of this masterful album is fully embodied by its gorgeous Robert Beatty cover art, which looks like a Mati Klarwein reinterpretation of Tony Scott’s ’68 Verve LP, Music for Yoga Meditation.  Rhyton was formed in 2011 by Dave Shuford & fellow travelers, with a notion to balance the songwriterly stance of D. Charles Speer with something more improvisation based.  As Shuford says, “Originally we took certain international rock icons, mainly European and Japanese touchstones, to be points of departure. In general, and as the drummer changed, some of the influences stateside… Read more »

Casual Planes / DUNUMS - It’s In Your Ribs ()

LP Edition of 200. bandcamp  OUT OF PRINT We have Asheville NC’s Tashi Dorji to thank for this one. It was his enthusiastic recommendation that led us to this insane LP.  Both DUNUMS and Casual Planes are duos originally formed in Durham NC. The former in 2010, the latter in 2017. They are both currently comprised of Sijal Nasralla (also of Durham punk trio, The Muslims) and Alston Palmer (who does solo electronics as Hoverist). Sijal is the leader of DUNUMS, and Alston (who relocated to Los Angeles a few years back) is the brains behind Casual Planes. And while they share musical traits, they’re also quite different from each other.  DUNUMS’ music has a core relationship to Sijal’s identity… Read more »

Mouth Painter - Tropicale Moon ()

LP Edition of 500. Co-Released with Cardinal Fuzz. OUT OF PRINT Great second LP (there was also a cassette) by this Portland OR trio. I became aware of Mouth Painter by following the pedal steel work of Barry Walker Jr., who is akin to the new BJ Cole in terms of being thee underground eminence on his instrument. The rest of the trio features flautist/vocalist Valerie Osterberg (who also contributes songs) and bassist Jason Willmon. Together they comprise a band whose sound is exceedingly hard to pin down. There are rootsy elements to the vocals, but these are offset by floating guitar clouds straight out of Mike Cooper’s recent work. Valerie’s flute inventions add a slight French prog flavor as… Read more »

Andrea Pensado / id m theft able - Quarantunes Series no.022 / 037 ( / )

12” Lathe edition of 28. Numbered. Risograph loose leaf front / back art printed at LOOKYHERE. OUT OF PRINT Two of the shorter QuaranTunes sessions presented as a feature length meeting of the minds. What could be better? Andrea’s side was recorded on the evening of Friday Sept. 11, 2020 from her Salem MA parlor. Seated with a strap-on microphone, Andrea created an amazing collage of live vocal manipulations, interspersed with machine sounds, all presented with beautiful primitive visual overlays and alterations. Pensado is always exploring some new weird sound cave or another, and the one she spelunks here is wonderfully berserk.  id m theft able’s side was performed on Christmas Day 2020, and offers another bananas vision of what… Read more »

Mienakunaru - Blood Sun ()

LP Edition of 500. Co-Released with Cardinal Fuzz OUT OF PRINT Cardinal Fuzz and Feeding Tube Records are pleased to announce the new LP from Mienakunaru – ‘Blood Sun’. After Mienakunaru’s debut brain crusher ‘Lost Bones Of The Holy Butterfly’ that came via esteemed label Drone Rock Records (and reissued in the USA via Echodelick) – Cardinal Fuzz and Feeding Tube Records bring you ‘Blood Sun’ – A ferocious throb of of 3 people losing themselves in the beauty of fuzz, sizzle and noise. Mienakunaru are a throbbing face melting power trio made up of Mike Vest, Junzo Suzuki and Dave Sneddon and if we were to write up the list of bands these artists have been involved with there… Read more »

Orchid Spangiafora + Glands Of External Secretion - QuaranTunes Series no.032 : Chronicles of Magoo ( / )

12″ Lathe. Edition of 39. Numbered. Front/Back Loose Leaf Print Art printed at LOOKYHERE. OUT OF PRINT  Orchid & Glands are two of the most interesting sonic-order-destroyers to have shown up in the last coupla centuries. Their collab LP, Couscous Bizarre (FTR 594) is an extremely intricate weave of two slightly different but equally blown approaches to the possiblities offered by musique concrète. Its berserk collaged structure was put together in bits and pieces over the course of years. Attempts to do this sort of stuff in a live context, improvising with pre-recorded bits and sounds, can get messy real fast (which is not always a bad thing). But how well could it possibly work if the two artists were… Read more »

Dietrichs - QuaranTunes Series No.052 ( / )

12″ Lathe Edition of 25. Numbered. Bandcamp  Front/Back Loose Leaf Print Art printed at LOOKYHERE. Artforum – Alan Licht’s Best Music of 2021  OUT OF PRINT Recorded on the evening of Friday April 9, 2021, this father/daughter duo session was one of the high points of the QuaranTunes series.  Playing in what looked to be Don’s living room, both of these great improvisers brought their A games. Previously documented solely by the excellent PicaDisc CD, Dietrichs, this was my first opportunity to observe the duo live, and their interaction was electric. Don’s sax is well known from any recordings with and without Borbetomagus, and his ability to abrade the very skin of the air is one of his more magical… Read more »
