Pirámides - El Bienestar del Espíritu ()

LP Co-Release with Cardinal Fuzz (UK) $22 Mixed Colour Vinyl with full size insert. The defining feature of El Bienestar del Espíritu is its sense of movement. While Pirámides have long explored psychedelic and experimental territory, this new album places rhythm firmly at the center of the experience. Bass and drums drive much of the record, creating hypnotic, trance-inducing foundations that pull the rest of the music into orbit over which voices and atmospheric textures gradually unfold. El Bienestar del Espíritu is the latest transmission from Monterrey (via Tucson) Pirámides. Pirámides have never been easy to categorize. Built around the songwriting of Patricio Coronado and shaped by a philosophy closer to musical collage than traditional rock orthodoxy, the band’s music… Read more »

Chris Corsano / Tashi Dorji - Live at Ritual Botanica ()

LP $25 Messrs. Corsano and Dorji are both familiar names in the Feeding Tube discography. Chris has played drums on eight FTR LPs (and recorded two other), and Tashi has played guitar on six (details upon request if you are lazy.) But this is the first time they have appeared on vinyl as a duo, and we are damn proud to have them. Over the past years Chris has recorded with a lot of the era’s best guitarists — Bill Nace, Ben  Chasny, Thurston Moore, Nels Cline, David Vanzan, Bill Orcutt, Rick Bishop, Glenn Jones, Jim O’Rourke, Flo Stoffner & onward. And Tashi has worked with some fine-ass drummers — Thom Nguyên, Tyler Damon, Michael Zerang, Dylan Fujioka, Susie Ibarra,… Read more »

William DeLee - Raynol Overlook ()

LP Co-Release With Carbon Records $24 Similar to Eric Arn and other folks in the guitar realm, William DeLee leans at times to the more neo-classical and cleaner side of acoustic guitar playing. But like Arn, he is never stale or overly traditional, and also like Arn, William has some mad skills, some might say, he’s a virtuoso. Raynol Overlook showcases both Will’s expertise, but also his incredible creative approach to both 6-stringand 12-string guitar, as well as his emersion into the Andean stringed-instrument the charango. Like on past releases, this LP is a perfect blend of pieces composed on these various instruments.   The first three tracks on side 1 are simply titled after the feature instrument, Nylon, Charango,… Read more »

Lucas Gunn - You Should’nt try to barrow other People’s skin. ()

LP Co-Release With Carbon Records $24 You Should’nt try to barrow other People’s skin. [sic] was recorded professionally with quality vintage microphones, while a few tracks were self-recorded. Each song was recorded live in the studio – no overdubs, no edits – giving the album a raw, authentic edge.  All songs were recorded analog to 2-Track tape or 4-Track tape, with the exception of one song being recorded on a portable tape recorder. Overall, the guitar sound is heavy, hypnotic, and catchy.  And at times drone-y and chorus-y.   The whole release starts out with a somewhat jarring piece, Hair Productions Presents Lucas Gunn’s Petertag, a very quick thick drone and high-end burst, more expected on a noise record, but showing… Read more »

Alison Cotton - The Gods Laugh ( / )

Co-Release with Glitterbeat (UK) LP – $26 CD – $15 “Cotton may expand folk’s raw emotions into more avant garde territories, but they still feel possessed by a blood-red muscle memory that goes back centuries.” – The Quietus Alison Cotton’s fifth solo album is a mesmerizing weave of haunted atmospherics and avant-folk songcraft. Built around her viola, harmonium, and transportive vocals, the album moves between stark drone passages and more layered arrangements with piano, percussion, and synths. The Gods Laugh is a work of quiet, sublime intensity, cementing Cotton’s unique space in the contemporary English music scene — a space where richly textured sonics meet tradition, and deeply personal compositions evoke the experimental spirit of artists like Nico, John Cale,… Read more »

Celestial Power - S/T ()

LP Co-Release with Cardinal Fuzz (UK) OUT OF PRINT The Debut LP released by Cardinal Fuzz (UK) & Feeding Tube Records (USA). Presented in a hand stamped metallic copper ink (front and back) print on a black card sleeve with insert. Recorded during downtime but sounding anything but casual, Celestial Power emerged when Dead Sea Apes’ Brett Savage and Chris Hardman linked synaptic overload with Cardinal Fuzz’s own Dave Cambridge to form a three-headed amplifier cult. Heavy, raw, and deeply resonant, this is music that embraces volume, repetition, and the beauty of imperfection. What they’ve summoned is a sprawling liturgy of overdriven guitar mantras: brutal, blown-out, and gloriously repetitive. Imagine the Velvet Underground locked in a warehouse mainlining the kosmische… Read more »

Jeffrey Alexander + Heavy Lidders - Liquid Donnon ()

LP (Transparent Blue Vinyl) Co-Release with Riot Seasson (UK) $25 “On the alternate timeline where the Meat Puppets inherited the bulk of the Grateful Dead’s tour heads when Jerry Garcia died in 1995, none of this would be necessary, because Jeffrey Alexander and the Heavy Lidders are a household name for evolving their own musical space that overlays dusty folk, cosmic jazz, deep psych, free improv, and even (gasp!) indie rock, building an audience that ranges from open-eared curiosity seekers to deep committed music weirdos that’s also yielded the Heavy Lidders an infamous sub-cult of concert tapers that you’re already sick of hearing about. A lot of other things are better over on that timeline, too. But in this consensus… Read more »

Tomoyuki Trio - HIGH OXYGEN BLOOD ()

LP $25 Another mind-blasting slab from the band that emerged from the exquisitely raw chaos of Up-Tight. Guitarist Aoki Tomoyuki, who founded and led Up-Tight from 1992 to 2024, is one of the prime exponents of Japanese string-based underground insanity. His approach combines the psychedelic flow of White Heaven’s You Ishihara with the scuzz-dynamism of High Rise’s Munehiro Narita and the experimental distentions of Fushisusha-era Keiji Haino. Up-Tight’s records were all sold blurts of N Generation Japanese freak logic, and that tradition has been continued by the Tomuki Trio. Their first two albums, Mars (on Riot Season) and its follow-up Shitsuren (FTR 770), were both boiling cauldrons of axe-smoke, with tunes that wandered through dizzying array of styles and moods,… Read more »

Joseph Allred - The Old Gods ()

LP Co-Release with Carbon Records SOLD OUT Joseph Allred makes music that manages to feel sacred and at the same time is filled with sweat and muscle that’s fully rooted to this physical realm. Uplifting and dare I say, ass kicking. The man can put a stringed instrument through its paces. — John Schoen The impetus for this album came while I was sitting in a cave near my house, ruminating on very old things. The title has to do with my own interest in history and rootedness, but it also acknowledges a futility. The pursuit of the “old gods” often involves an obsession with simplicity and purity that only resolves through the construction of dishonest fantasies and a correlated… Read more »

Kohoutek - Akvoturo ()

LP Co-Release with Carbon Records $25 With Akvoturo, Kohoutek is delving into a more experimental form of their brand of US psych/space jams, a loose concept album sonically examining the consequential role that water has played in nascent civilizations, starting from our ancestral habitats. The title is in Esperanto, in theory a language as universal to humanity as water is to its diet, as well as an homage to the label ESP which is a substantial inspiration on the Kohoutek ethos, informed by revolutionary free jazz and outsider psychedelia. This release consists of 4 tracks (2 on each side). Side A starts out with Pluvobaro, a combination of Eastern inspired components, including repetitive gamelan-esque marimba and other rhythmic work, with… Read more »
