Spiral Wave Nomads - The Weightless Sea ()

LP Co-Release with Cardinal Fuzz / Twin Lakes Records $21 We are happy to announce the long-awaited fourth LP by the NY/CT duo Spiral Wave Nomads, a joint release by Twin Lakes, Feeding Tube, and Cardinal Fuzz Records. Imagine being swallowed whole by a phosphorescent jellyfish the size of a city bus, drifting half-conscious across some cosmic tidepool while a guitar gnaws at your bones and a drum kit levitates just out of reach. That’s The Weightless Sea, the new LP from Spiral Wave Nomads, a record that doesn’t give a damn about your earthly anchors, your comfort zones, or the cloying stench of polite indie rock playlists. Spiral Wave Nomads are Eric Hardiman (guitarist, psychic detonator, veteran of Albany’s… Read more »

Drazek Fuscaldo with Jörg A. Schneider - Attachments ()

LP Co-Release with Cardinal Fuzz $21 ‘Attachments isn’t background music—it’s two side-long dives into birth, death, and the mess in between – Four more pieces from the same recording date exist, but vinyl has its limits, so those show up only as digital extras. What’s on the record, though, is enough: two journeys that refuse to resolve neatly, but feel alive in the way improvised music should—raw, searching, and unwilling to settle’. Attachments featuring Jorg Schneider (LP, Feeding Tube/Cardinal Fuzz) is made up of two side-length tracks “Death Mask” and “Born in a Storm,” meditative longform journeys exploring the themes of death and birth. German drummer Jorg Schneider has been a longtime friend and collaborator of Przemyslaw Drazek and Brent… Read more »

JOMF - Give Me Shelter ()

LP Edition of 500 includes a DL slip. $22 Although it was the lead track on the Stones’s eighth studio LP, Let it Bleed, the song “Gimmie Shelter” was not released as a single. Indeed, the single “from” that album was the countrified non-LP track, “HonkyTonk Women” backed with the corny chorale sluice of “You Can’t Always Get What You Want.” It was as though the Stones, knowing they would soon be pilloried on the cross of Altamont, wanted to have a way to try and dodge those nails by being able to claim they weren’t even a rock band. Well, fuck them. 55 long years after the Stones’s shameful retreat from their true identity, Jackie O Motherfucker has decided… Read more »

Erica Dawn Lyle - On Fire ()

LP Co-Release with Half A Million Records $23.50 = ON FIRE, Erica Dawn Lyle’s fourth full-length solo album, began with Lyle’s inside joke challenge to herself: could she remake the 1978 Van Halen classic live opener as a trans girl anthem? <i>We’re hot, we’re all up in their head, and they want to, like, burn us at the stake!</i> Lyle soon found, however, that playing the song live seemed to open a darker kind of portal, an uncanny entryway through which the bleeding future would eerily arrive. On the day she’d intended to begin playing the song, she woke up to find the sky black with smoke from wildfires in Canada. The morning after she had stayed up until dawn,… Read more »

Dimples’ - Obscure Residue ()

LP Edition of 500 Co-Release with Ba Da Bing $25 In fact you’re totally lost, and at what cost? Obscure Residue. The bicoastal duo of Greg Hartunian (West) and Colby Nathan (East) have made music together for 15 years. For their third and most focused full length, Dimples displays that they are anything but spring chickies. Past injuries leave scars, old flames leave burns, and memories are little more mental syrup on a midnight sundae. Obscure Residue stays true to Dimples’ bittersweet off-the-cuff pop sound while pushing the tempo up a bpm or two, honing in their codeine dream melodies with orchestral arrangements. Psychedelic lyrics reflect on the movement of time, the choices we make, the distractions we face, and… Read more »

Scotch Broom Collective - Water & Insects ()

CS Edition of 100 Last Copy Available on ftr bandcamp… (The) Scotch Broom Collective is an imaginary ensemble helmed (or once helmed) by Robert “Bob” Fay, whose real-world units have included Sebadoh, Somerville Players, Deluxx, Crush, Baby Jesus Burnout and so on. Bob’s primary instrument is drums, but like his fellow American polymath Ben Vereen, Bob does not allow himself to be pigeon-holed. With Scotch Broom Collective he does it all, except perhaps for the tap dancing segments, which he has chosen to leave to others. The material on this tape (as on Scotch Broom’s debut LP on UK’s Golden Lab Records) was recorded by a miscellany of outfits with which Bob has been involved, and includes players like Conrad… Read more »

FUJI|||||||||||TA - Live at Epsilon Spires ()

LP Co-Release with Epsilon Spires (VT) $25 Feeding Tube Records is excited to present the first North American release by this amazing Japanese sound artist. Yosuke Fujita goes by the name FUJI|||||||||||TA, perhaps so he won’t be mistaken for the guitarist of the same name who plays with Better Days, or perhaps because he just likes to hear people try to figure out how to say, “FUJI|||||||||||TA,” properly. Either way, FUJI|||||||||||TA is a wonderful avant garde project that has been active for almost two decades. In its current iteration, performances involve spontaneous compositions on a mutant pipe organ which is operated by air pumps rather than keys. Using a variety of gestural means to create the long tones that are… Read more »

Duncan Park - Path To The Gallows ()

LP Co-Release with Carbon Records $20  Path To The Gallows was recorded in Beeston, UK and Durban, South Africa straight to cassette and engineered by the wizard Rob V. It’s Duncan’s 9th “proper” album (but could also be his 12th or 6th depending how you count them). Leaning into the lo-fi world, Gallows is a great representation of Duncan’s expertise in playing, composition, variety, and open mindedness. The LP begins with the epic A Moon Possessed Corpse, which starts with the classic handheld cassette handling racket, setting up the tone of the release, before sliding right into Duncan’s frenetic fingering and pull-offs, like he’s desperately trying to document something before heading off on a one-way trip, all while his dog… Read more »

Footings - The Worm Moon ()

LP Co-Release with Don’t Live Like Me Records Black Vinyl – $22 Black / White Swirl – $22 “How can we move forward when we’re going nowhere?” asks Eric Gagne in opening lines of The Worm Moon, his fifth full-length as Footings. The album takes its name from the March full moon, which signals the first stirrings of life, kicking off an annual process of rebirth and regeneration that shoots up through the cracks in winter’s desolation to bring growth and hope. The Worm Moon marks the beginnings of a slow process, full of fits and starts and reversals, where it’s not always obvious that conditions are improving. In that way, it’s an apt metaphor for the struggle that shaped… Read more »

Jørgen Teller / Mark Cunningham - Next ( / )

LP Edition of 300. $25 CD Edition of 300 – $11 While they have collaborated a good many times, Next is the first recorded evidence of Danish guitarist (or more properly Bastardist) Jørgen Teller playing with American ex-pat multi-instrumentalist Mark Cunningham. The pair both have long histories on the fringes of known sounds. I first heard Teller as a member of the dizzily freakoid Tzarina Q Cut and Cunningham’s decades of musical adventurism with Mars, Don King, Bestia Ferida, Blood Quartet, etc. have been well documented, not least by us. This is Mark’s tenth FTR release! The four pieces here are improvised instrumental duets. The material was recorded in October 2023, as part of an ongoing residency Mark has at… Read more »
