Hollow Deck - All The Roots ()

LP Edition of 300.     Bandcamp Second album by Western Mass’s most exciting live band is now in hand, and it’s a swirling web of dooziness. Recorded by Ted Lee at Fayre Lawn, the team of Mia Friedman and Andy Allen have created a masterpiece of strange familiarities. Using a large array of instruments — banjo, gourd banjo, fiddle, guitar, tenor sax clarinet, flute, drum machine, etc. — the duo easily transcends any real or imaginary boundaries of what’s possible to do with just four hands. The results are as amazing as they are hard to categorize. Listening to the album for the umpteenth time, brings to mind a wide variety of things: an album I have of a high… Read more »

Delphine Dora & Sophie Cooper - Divine Ekstasys ()

LP Edition of 300 Soundcloud First vinyl evidence of the dizzying, ongoing collaboration between France’s Delphine Dora and West Yorkshire’s Sophie Cooper. Delphine’s piano, organ, vocals and extended improvisation techniques have been documented in various places, and always serve up oceanic slabs of pure aural mystery. Comparisons have been made to Charlemagne Palestine, Marian Zazeela and other experimentalists, although Ms. Dora has long maintained her compositions are structurally rooted in folk music. Suffice to say the results are usually otherworldly and stunning. Cooper’s guitar, electronics, vocals and trombone have caused similar reactions (I am especially fond of her recent Globokar-like ‘bone-investigations). And the pair’s collusions (of which there have been several) are always eagerly anticipated. The main themes of the… Read more »

The Left Outsides - All That Remains ()

LP Edition of 650 (175 x Colour and 475 x Black (well 469 as we are 6 units short) Co-Released with Cardinal Fuzz Take Me Home Again BLACK VINYL – OUT OF PRINT PURPLE VINYL – OUT OF PRINT Counting their live CDR from 2007, All That Remains is the fifth album by Walthamstow’s finest duo since at least the halcyon days of Bevis Frond’s Inner Marshland. Hard to pin down with any certitude, the music created by The Left Outsides varies from track to track and even moment to moment. Alison Cotton’s vocals, harmonium and viola blend with Mark Nicholas’s voice, bass, guitar, piano and drums in ways that recall everything from Kendra Smith and David Roback’s drony duo, Opal (on… Read more »

Gary Wilson - Gary Saw Linda Last Night Kissing John Cage / Duet For Piano And Drums ()

LP Edition of 100. Numbered. Comes with Digital Download.  Pressed in psychedelic Sludge Splatter OUT OF PRINT Of all the Gary Wilson LPs that Feeding Tube has done — and there are many of them — this baby has to be counted among the weirdest. Which is saying a mouthful and then some. The first side was recorded at Issue Project Room in January 2014. Gary plays his baby grand piano, does vocals and organized all of the taped bits (from You Think You Really Know Me and other sources) into a mind-numbing collage of disorganized philosophical reasoning. Is it real or Memorex? Only the gods know for sure. Gary’s accompanied by his band, but they’re all playing synths and… Read more »

Blue Sabbath Black Fiji

Blue Sabbath Black Fiji - Mistake of a Small Bird ()

LP Edition of 500. Last box of… This multi-national European duo, who currently hail from Scotland, have been producing a steady stream of ultra-limited releases (on Abandon Ship, Blackest Rainbow, Deathbomb Arc, Digitalis, ad infinitum) and a crazed series of incendiary live performances on both sides of the Atlantic. BSBF may be a swanky looking couple, but their music is about as destroyed as a bombed out building. The two guitars and two mics are constantly threatening to overpower and split open the discotheque beats of the drum machines and electronics. You could dance to this music but you might get a bloody nose. This is their second LP and, by far, their most fully realized album, showcasing them in… Read more »

Currituck Co. - Sleepwalks In The Garden Of The Deadroom ()

LP with Insert / Download. Edition of 300. Finally, in 2018, the full and correct version of Currituck Co.’s fourth album is made public. The operating handle of guitarist Kevin Barker, one of the best players to emerge from the Mid-Atlantic völk underground of the early oughts, Currituck Co. cut five albums between 2000 and 2005, all of which are gorgeous. The original CD version of Sleepwalks, however, released by Track & Field in 2004, was shorn of  couple of tracks and featured re-recorded vocals Kevin always thought were a bit naff. This came up in conversation with Kevin a while back, and we offered to right a grievous wrong. The result is this beauty, which has a few extra… Read more »

Bridge Of Flowers - Live / Demos ()

LP Edition of 100. Insert / Download. OUT OF PRINT Dandy-ass debut LP by a local quartet who take their name from the most famous connector to ever cross the Deerfield River. And Deerfield is good to get into the equation, since South Deerfield was the home to the Woodrose Ballroom in the early ’70s, and that venue hosted the Velvet Underground four or five times. The reason this’s a cogent fact is that Bridge of Flowers have a languid, guitar-led roll that recalls nothing other than the Loaded-and-onward Velvets in no uncertain terms. Not that Bridge are aping history. Indeed, they may not even be familiar with the sound of the VU as they entered the era of Doug… Read more »

Gary War - Gaz Forth ()

LP Edition of 300. bandcamp NOISEY For the last while, Greg Dalton (aka Gary War) has been back in Massachusetts, after spending years working on his music down in twin Isles of Kiwi. Since returning he has popped up in the amazing psych duo, Dalthom (along with Sunburned’s Ron Thomas), and even played with the legendary Bobb Trimble on a live Burger cassette, but Gaz Forth is the first new Gary War LP in over five years. Recorded with long-time collaborator, Daniel Rineer, as well as Robert Cathart III (Pigeons), Jeremy Pisani (Red Favorite), Kris Thompson (Abunai, Trimble), Cynthia Nixon (Purple Pilgrims) and John Moloney (Sunburned), Gaz Forth hearkens back to some of the left-field pop amalgamations Mr. War had… Read more »

Sam Gas Can - Ernie / Kurt Cobain Hamburger ()

7″ Edition of 300 Co-Released with Plastic Response Records & BUFU Records Samuel “Sam” Gas Can is often viewed as Massachusetts’ answer to the question: Daniel Johnston or Jad Fair? Like those two vaunted talents, “Sam” has a dab hand with creating instantly memorable pop hooks that manage to glow with outside energy even as they rub your (figurative) shoulders. On this single, Sam joins up with some old running mates from Worcester to create an off-kilter roots-pop exploration of the connections between Sesame Street’s Ernest and Fecal Matter’s Kurtis. Both are presented as excellent neighbors, and this message is driven home with exceedingly peppy arrangements that feature harmony vocals, tooting saxophone and a rather out-of-time musical focus. Sounds kinda… Read more »
