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 »

Big Blood - QuaranTunes Series No.027 ()

12″ Lathe Edition of 35. Risograph Front/Back Loose Leaf Print Art printed at LOOKYHERE. Bandcamp  OUT OF PRINT Recorded the evening of Friday October 16, 2020, at Tank 28 inside the Blue House in South Portland Maine, here is Big Blood live. Although this record is shorn of visual magic of the trio’s Family Circus of visual insanity, the music is such a stone cool dip into the ocean of their collective subconscious you can close your eyes and almost see what was going on that night.  The music is a fantastic and revelatory stroll through a few of their old numbers, some ones that are new to me, and a selection of covers that seems utterly random until you… Read more »

Nudity - Nudity Is God’s Creation ()

2LP Edition of 250.  Co-Release with Cardinal Fuzz OUT OF PRINT Cardinal Fuzz and Feeding Tube Records are at long last ecstatic to bring to you for your listening pleasure “Nudity – Is God’s Creation”2xLP . A retrospective release of recordings dating from 2005 to 2010 of orgasmic interstellar mayhem . Reissued and for the first time available domestically in the USA In 2004, a commune named NUDITY, formed by four travellers from the astral plane, appeared in Olympia, Washington. The founding members were Dave HARVEY (guitar) and Jon Quitty QUITTNER (bass – though Josh Haynes of the mighty guitar fuzz scorchers Feral Ohms plays bass on the majority of the tracks featured here), both of whom were former guitarists… Read more »

Lazy Magnet - Make It Fun Again ()

LP edition of 250. Download Included. $21 Here is the first Lazy Magnet LP since 2019’s Mahogany. And it’s a beautiful instrumental album which has known many iterations since it was first conceived.  Lazy Magnet has long been the home recording project of Jeremy Harris. Over the course of it’s long arc the actual music has taken many forms – this time he has chosen to dedicate an entire body of work on a single instrument: the acoustic piano. The initial idea for Make It Fun Again dates to 2007, when Harris and his buddy Robert Parker (depicted on the cover) were screwing around recording anti-melodies on a cheap monophonic keyboard. This goof was too good to let go of,… Read more »

Josephine Foster - What Is It That Ever Was? ()

LP Edition of 400. Bandcamp. OUT OF PRINT Vinylization of a tour CDR, Josephine recorded at home around the time of A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing. Accompanying herself on guitar and piano, with some drum & vocal help from Brian Goodman, the album is a glorious once-lost-now-found piece of the fascinating musical puzzle that is the music of  Josephine Foster. While Foster’s music is clearly consonant with the current trends in avant-völk music (here, especially, on her wild readings from the Tibetan Book of Dzyan), another large portion of her muse seems rooted in the parlor music tradition that predates recorded sound. At times, when she is playing piano and singing, you can almost imagine she’s channeling the spirit of… Read more »

PG Six & Louise Bock - All Summer Long is Gone ()

CS Edition of 100. OUT OF PRINT This is a cassette preview of an amazing instrumental pandemic album recorded by this somewhat unlikely duo. The LP will be out whenever things get backer to normaler. But the cassette is here NOW! PG Six (aka Pat Gubler) is based in the New England and is known for his mastery of many stringed objects. He has appeared on six earlier Feeding Tube LPs, the most recent of which is the great PG Six Live at the Tavern (FTR 556). Louise Bock (aka Taralie Peterson) is a multi-instrumentalist long associated with both the Midwest and Spires That in the Sunset Rise, but she has other axes in the fire as well, and has… Read more »

Joseph Allred - Branches & Leaves ()

LP Edition of 231. OUT OF PRINT Don’t hold me to it, but by my count this the sixth LP we have done with the splendid Brighton-based musician named Joseph Allred. Initially known as a master of stringed instruments, Joseph has continuously expanded his musical arsenal. When asked about basics regarding Branches & Leaves, he wrote, “I played harmonium, piano, guitars, glockenspiel, banjo, tambourine, bass drum, and clarinet on this album and did all the vocals myself. I’m glad I got to collaborate with some friends and would like to have done so more, but the pandemic made that impossible. Recorded at the end of 2019 and in the first few months of 2020 in Overton County, Tennessee and Boston.”… Read more »

Old Million Eye - The Incandescent Switch ()

LP Edition of 250. OUT OF PRINT First LP, after several fine cassettes & CDRs, by this psych project helmed by Brian Lucas. Lucas is best known these days for his bass work with Dire Wolves Just Exactly Perfect Sisters Band, but he has a hand in many other California psych outfits. The Wolves have been quiet vis-a-vis new recordings lately, but Old Million Eye has been pretty busy. Often the OME moniker represents solo work, but this time Brian has recruited Dena Goldsmith-Stanley (3 Moons) and Steven R Smith (an old band mate from Mirza) to assist with his journey. And the results are beautiful. The most basic elements of The Incandescent Switch are swirls of kosmiche keyboard, with… Read more »

Loren Connors - Unaccompanied Acoustic Guitar Improvisations Vol.2 ()

LP / Linear Notes by Byron Coley  Edition of 500 Co-Released with Negative Glam $21 Here is the second volume of protean solo improvisations recorded by Loren Connors in his artist’s garret in New Haven, Connecticut. Like the first volume, it was committed to tape and pressed to vinyl in 1979. Never having seen a copy of this record, and having pressed it before we discovered a master cassette exists, this is as good a transfer as can be had for the nonce. Loren’s chair creaks like rusty crow and the amount of random tapping and thumping during the original session just about drove Jim O’Rourke and Jeremy Lemos crazy when they were working on it. But they persisted, and… Read more »

Mako Sica / Hamid Drake featuring Tatsu Aoki & Thymme Jones - Ourania ()

LP Edition of 300. bandcamp link OUT OF PRINT Fantastic studio recording, caught by Taylor Hales at Chicago’s legendary Electrical Audio, documenting the first full meeting of all the players on this album. Mako Sica, at this point in time revolve around the core duo of Przemyslaw Krys Drazek (electric trumpet, mandolin, electric guitar) and Brent Fuscaldo (vocals, electric bass, harmonica, thumb piano, gong, percussion). For this session, these two are joined once again by Chicago’s always-revelatory percussionist, Hamid Drake, with whom they have previously recorded Ronda (FTR409) and Balancing Tear (FTR513). In addition, Ourania features the upright bass and shamisen of Tasu Aoki (Drake’s longtime partner in Fred Anderson’s trio). Also included in the roster is Thymme Jones, the… Read more »
