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 »

Dietrichs - Catch the Leaves ()

LP Edition of 100. $25 Lovely limited vinylization of the fantastic set performed by this father/daughter duo on June 25, 2022. Beautifully recorded by Kevin Reilly, and issued on CD through his Relative Pitch label, we could not resist reissuing the set as an LP. The music was recorded at a Feeding Tube label event held at Tubby’s in Kingston, NY, deep in the midst of the Plague Era. For a bunch of us, this show was the first time we’d been out to a club in a while so there was an a extra element of liberation stirred into the semiotic mix (not that Dietrichs’s music ever lacks liberation as its prime element). The opening sets, by Magnificent Pussies… Read more »

MX-80 Sound - Better Than Life ()

LP Edition of 500. bandcamp  $21 MX-80 Sound are one of the foundational underground rock bands of the last half century. Formed in the university town of Bloomington IN in 1974, the original version came about when Bruce Anderson and Dale Sophiea (from Screaming Gypsy Bandits) teamed up with Rich Stim and Dave Mahoney (from Chinaboise), adding another couple of drummers for extra confusion. Things fluxxed and mutated for a while. MX-80 played the Bloomington Public Library and rehearsed a lot. They opened for Patti Smith, one drummer left and they recorded the great Big Hits EP in ’76 for local label BRBQ. Reviewed in Sounds by Carline Coons, the EP got the band a deal by which UK Island… Read more »

Wednesday Knudsen - Soft Focus Volume Two ()

  LP Edition of 250. Download included inside lp. $24 It is absolutely appropriate the second volume of Wednesday Knudsen’s Soft Focus suite appears as spring finally begins to take hold. Like the brilliant first section of this work (the whole of which was initially released on CD), the music here is a celebration of shimmering sunlight and the awakening of nature’s tonal brilliance. But where the first LP focused on more bite-sized pieces of work, this one envisions and documents instrumental horizons that are ever expanding. The first of the three tracks, “Sunshine,” is the shortest, and picks up where Volume One left off — slow single note electric piano runs with lightly buzzing sustain that are darker than… Read more »

From their nascent high school socialist-realist post-punk band Mayfirst, to teenage scavenger trips to the Princeton Record Exchange and City Gardens, the two came of age goofing along to the Dead Kennedys, the Butthole Surfers, and… Read more »

- E Gone – Adventures Before The Body ()

LP Co-Release with Cardinal Fuzz / Collaboration with Deep Water Acres and in tribute to Sunrise Ocean bender records $22  Sam Giles Vinyl Replica CDr Edition $12 E GONE is Daniel Westerlund from Stockholm, Sweden, and ‘Adventures Before the Body’ is his long-awaited latest excursion into cosmically earthy musical alchemy, rounding out a trilogy of albums begun in 2013 with ‘All the Suns of the Earth,’ and continuing with ‘Advice to Hill Walkers’ in 2016 (both also released by Deep Water Acres and Sunrise Ocean Bender). Musically, ‘Adventures…’ builds on its predecessors’ eclecticism and love of sonic juxtapositions—astute psychedelic guitar lines swirled together with exotic instrumentation and modal motifs, rock riffs alongside ethnic percussion and old-school beats, drones and atmospheric… Read more »
