Ned Collette / James Rushford / Joe Talia - Afternoon-Dusk ()

LP Edition of 300 Includes Download Code. OUT OF PRINT Ned Collette’s last album, the 2LP set Old Chestnut (FTR 362), was hailed as a masterpiece by ‘most everyone who heard it. Part of this was due to the darkly delicate lyrics and vocals of Ned himself (akin to the work of Graeme Jefferies, ca. This Kind of Punishment), but much was also due to the elegant lyricism of the music, which had a fantastic prog/folk heft as impossible to peg as it was to ignore. With this new LP, Collette (an Australian ex-pat, now based in Berlin) goes all-instrumental, along with his long-time drumming partner, Joe Talia (fellow ex-pat, now in Tokyo), and composer James Rushford (also from Australia)… Read more »

Aircraft - Sideways/Backwards ()

LP edition of 250. Includes Download Code. Available on bandcamp. Aircraft was the name Steve Cohen used for the largely unknown and quite fantastic synthesizer music he was creating in NYC in the ’80s. This was in the same period Steve was in the late-period No Wave band, China Shop, along with guitarist Naux (who would go on to play with the Voidoids) and percussionist Richard Edson (whose next band was Sonic Youth). Steve had been active in the NYC sub-underground since the ’70s, even playing at Giorgio Gomelsky’s legendary “Zu Music Festival” in 1978. Steve pops up playing bass on various odd sessions with various odd musicians like the late painter-turned-punker-turned-funkateer Snuky Tate, among others. But very few had… Read more »

The Lloyd Pack - On Holiday With… ()

LP Edition 0f 250. Includes Download Code. $21 The Lloyd Pack is a project the prolific Dan Melchior has taken in a variety of directions. The band has been composed of various people, sometimes it’s large, sometimes it’s small, and the music’s nature has always been unpredictable. On Holiday, recorded at various places and assembled in Raleigh, NC, is one of the Pack’s small format efforts. For most of the music the only players are Mr. Melchior and vocalist Russell Walker (of the Pheromoans, among other bands). They are sometimes joined by Dan’s not-infrequent collaborator, Anthony Allman, and on one track by the late Letha Rodman Melchior (once the drummer of Ecstatic Peace combo, Cell). And unlike the Pack’s last… Read more »

The Left Outsides - There Is A Place ( / )

LP Edition of 300 Co-Released with Cardinal Fuzz OUT OF PRINT A new reissue of this masterpiece by the Left Outsides, originally issued on cassette in 2015, then first put to vinyl in 2017, as the long-format follow-up to the classic The Shape of Things to Come LP (FTR387). The current edition is demarcated by a glossy cover and metallic gold printing. Its music remains as timeless a gust of dark autumnal wind as any you’ll ever hear. Some of the music here was written as part of the soundtrack to Gus Alavrez’s 2009 noir-pastoral short, Stand and Deliver, but the songs evoke their own host of images. The band, consisting of Alison Cotton and Mark Nicholas (once of the… Read more »

Andrew DR Abbott - Dead in Chellow Dean ()

LP Edition of 297. Co-Released with Cardinal Fuzz OUT OF PRINT Cardinal Fuzz and Feeding Tube Records present the debut album by artist, musician and writer Andrew DR Abbott. Dead in Chellow Dean extends the themes and aesthetic introduced in his Live on Daisy Hill cassette released in 2018 by Bloxham Tapes and described by The Quietus as ‘a minor 21st century folk masterpiece’. Through a series of instrumental 8-string baritone acoustic guitar compositions, Abbott conveys a dark and disorientating journey through the beautifully derelict hinterlands of Bradford: the postindustrial city in the North of England where he lives. The core tracks of the album are joined together by collages of field recordings and improvisations on handmade instruments. Best known… Read more »

Power Bottom - My Meat Is Alive ()

LP Edition of 100. Numbered. Download Slip Included. $21 psychedelicbabymag interview   From somewhere in rural Canada comes Power Bottom. The solo project of an anonymous being, My Meat is Alive is the first album we’ve heard that was created solely by voice, electronics, cymbal, tom-tom and sex toys. At least that’s what we’ve been told, and who the hell are we to argue with such a commanding figure? Two puny cis-normative gents cannot really hope to combat anything here. We can only report that the sounds astound. Power Bottom has put together an album that disorients in some of the most profound ways imaginable. The sound of a vibrator has a very physical quality (and semiotic heft) unequalled by… Read more »

bill bissett & Th Mandan Massacre - Awake In Th Red Desert ()

Obladada The Vinyl District LP / Download / Insert – $19 SPECIAL EDITION with Download / Insert / Signed Silk Screen Print /  Booklet Edition of 50.  – $50 For the first release in Feeding Tube’s Unknown Province series — a run of records dedicated to exploring little known nooks of the Canadian underground, curated by Alex Moskos — we are delighted to bring you the first vinyl reissue of the 1968 zoner masterpiece by poet Bill Bissett and his fellow Vancouver freaks. We have always been shocked this LP was not included on the NWW list, but Canadian releases often seem to exist in their own universe, so we suppose that’s the “explanation.” Because, in a list of any… Read more »

Dalthom - Voices & Ragui ()

LP Edition of 50. Black light edition / Rozz Tox Art Edition. No digital download included. Co-Release with Poon Village Temporarily out of stock… Sometimes, when a record waits in the wings before it’s released, things shift. The world in which it was recorded is not the world into which it eventually sallies forth. The classic example of this is Deja Vu, mostly recorded in the glow of post-Woodstock-cheese-love, only to take its first breath in the aftermath of Altamont and Manson, just as Kent State was about to explode. And there are plenty of other examples, from Tesco Vee’s Gonzo Hate Vibe to Can’s Landed, but let us not dwell on them. Because with Voices & Ragui, we have… Read more »

The Taxidermists - Tax ( / )

LP Edition of 250. 45rpm. Includes download. $20 Second vinyl from this great Western Mass pop/punk duo, comprised of guitarist/vocalist Cooper Handy and drummer Salvadore McNamara. Their first album, Honesty Box (Telegraph Harp), was a super interesting blend of screwed-up Sonic Youth/Pavement textures and straight-up power-pop. It had weirdly addictive properties and ended up getting a good number of spins. So when a new album was ready, Ted Lee jumped on it like a badger attacking a kangaroo rat. And we’re glad he did. Tax leans a little bit more in the pop direction than its predecessor, but it still has plenty of odd touches that keep it from being anything like a readymade confection. Some of this is surely… Read more »

Weeping Bong Band - II ()

LP Edition of 500. Includes insert / download code. $20 Following up on their eponymous debut LP, this Western Mass quintet has released a live album that expands their musical palette, while retaining the essential magic of their sound. Bill Meyer described Weeping Bong Band’s music as a collision between Popol Vuh’s Florian Fricke and Hash Jar Tempo (itself a collab between Bardo Pond and Roy Montgomery), and the same mix of drifty Germanic midnights and Bay Area Ballroom sizzle is present on Weeping Bong’s sophomore slab. Recorded at the 1794 Meeting House in New Salem, MA — the site of many finely smoked concert events — all five key members are on hand (which is not always the case)…. Read more »
