LP Edition of 350. Download included in Jacket. Available on Bandcamp. $22 The first American release by this wonderfully strange Norwegian musician, whose previous releases have been with labels such as Kjetil Brandsdal’s Drid Machine and Dennis Tyfus’s Ultra Eczema. This is enough to tell you that Gaute is a highly regarded twirler of unusual sonic inventions, but not much else. The music on Monstersol is a bit more focused on Granli’s own voice work than some of his earlier releases, but it shares certain elements with them. Instrumentally it’s as hard to fathom as ever exactly what’s going on. The music has a brilliant way of interweaving obvious loops with what seem like they might be real time sound… Read more »
12″ 45rpm Edition of 400. – 100 available – Co-Release with Armadillo Tail Recording Co. $23 Moon Bros. is more or less the solo project of guitarist “Fred” Schneider and was brought to our attention by the Queen of Colorado herself (aka Josephine Foster). Fred appears on Foster’s No Harm Done album, and she returns the favor by singing on one of the tunes here. Many of Fred’s earliest recording efforts were done with a variety of Chicago-based post-rock/jazz-flecked combos (The Exciting Trio, HIM, etc.) But for the past few years, he has used Moon Bros. to explore contours of more rurally-based sounds. Employing pedal steel, acoustic guitars, harmonica and vocals, Moon Bros. have produced five previous albums (two of… Read more »
LP Edition of 300. Drowned Lands Series no.5 – $24 This is the first LP (following a cassette) released under Drew Gardner’s name and it’s a doozy. Drew is a guitarist, probably best known as a founding member of Elkhorn (although his musical partnerships with Jesse Shepard go back way further than that), and his recent work with Jeffrey Alexander’s Heavy Lidders has also been noteworthy as hell. The band here is a trio with Andy Cush (Garcia Peoples) on bass, and the extremely well documented Ryan Jewell on drums. Drew’s guitar playing is jazzy without being jazzoid, and rural without being hick. The four instrumentals the trio lay down are of a piece, and share a brilliant (if understated)… Read more »
12″ Edition of 34. Numbered. Handpainted recycled jacket cover / back art by Luke Csehak. Out of stock. Hello Jane Goodall, Are You Listening? is either the 7th, 8th, or 10th lentils album depending on how you count. What separates it from the rest is that it is the first to capture the live sound that they have been cultivating for the past 9 years. The songs were recorded in 4 different studios starting with the first LA Lentils lineup in 2015 and trace 3 or 4 different iterations of the band that have evolved since then. You can see the progression of the band’s sound spread out disjointedly throughout the album with the more rocking tracks representing the earlier… Read more »
2LP co-release with Cardinal Fuzz OUT OF PRINT Originally released via Steve Krakow’s Galactic Zoo Dosier Label on CDr. Here via Cardinal Fuzz and Feeding Tube Records is the 2xLP edition Bass – Takashi Ogata Drone, Guitar, Written-By, Producer, Mixed By – Makoto Kawabata Drums – Takashi Shirahata Guitar, Vocals – Tomoyuki Aoki Written-By – Up-Tight Dusted Magazine I won’t revamp Up-Tight’s credentials here. Their heavy but crystal-clear monster riffage and high-frequency scree has quickly become the stuff of legend, and the group’s place at the forefront of the new Japanese psych scene has been well established at least since the massive and deservedly lauded Five Psychedelic Pieces, even earlier for those in the know. Last year’s Lucretia only broadened… Read more »
LP Edition of 400. Co-Release with Cardinal Fuzz $22 Over the years Sharron Kraus’ musical career has pulled her in many directions and seen her collaborate with artists, poets, writers and researchers, creating soundtracks, podcasts, musical accompaniments and responses. She is an intuitive improviser, a compelling performer and a weaver of musical spells. The spine supporting this body of work is songwriting, though, and it is to this most natural combination of words and music that she always returns. If prose writing is a tool for analysis and working out what we think, because of the emotional dimension music introduces, songwriting is a tool for working out how we feel. KIN, her newest album, is a collection of songs written… Read more »
CS Edition of 150. $11 After recording three studio albums (two of which — 2019’s The Whole of Each Eye FTR498 and 2022’s Map of Dawn FTR669 — we were honored to co-release with Cardinal Fuzz), this amazing Portland OR sextet decided to try something different. An experiment. They packed a vanload of gear and headed out to a rural house in Central Oregon with an 8 track recorder. Besides their standard array of axes, they also brought various “little instruments” as well as acoustic strings and percussives of various stripes, then spent three full days jamming from very early to very late. There was a lot improvisation, instrument swapping and musical hijinkery quite different from their standard approach. This… Read more »
LP Edition of 300 Co-Release with Cardinal Fuzz – $21 Cardinal Fuzz and Feeding Tube Records are delighted to make available for you the debut release by Ambassador Hazy – Glacial Erratics – previously pressed as a private press edition of 100 records back in 2020. Ambassador Hazy is a solo recording project by Sterling DeWeese who was previously in a slew of obscure bands including Heavy Hands, Dirty Rainbow, Terrapin Gun, Madison Electric and Black Fantastic. Glacial Erratics is really a comeback record as Sterling had totally stopped playing for 7 or 8 years after he got married and started a family and the business of life took over – but the calling was always there and as his… Read more »
CD Edition of 300. bandcamp $12 Portuguese bassist Margarida Garcia has collaborated with some of our favorite artists — Marcia Bassett, Loren Connors and Chris Corsano among them. Loren even wrote the liner notes for Good Night, which is about as a solid an endorsement as anyone is ever likely to get. So we are proud and excited to present the first solo album she’s released through a US label. The three tracks on Good Night are all lovely slides into pools of quivering dream gel. Performed on an amplified upright bass, the arco flow of her playing (with what I assume to be light electronic effects in certain passages) moves like a field of lava sheets overlapping as they… Read more »
