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 »

LP Edition of 350 Co-Release with Cardinal Fuzz $21 Cardinal Fuzz and Feeding Tube Records are delighted to present to you the new Ambassador Hazy LP ‘The Door Between’ Following last year’s much loved and long sold out ‘The Traveler’ Ambassador Hazy is back with ‘The Door Between’ (the title taken from an old detective novel) which is a perfect metaphor for album’s explorations into consciousness and perception, seeing the connectedness between all things while also embracing one’s solitude and separation from others. Themes that were amplified as the record was recorded alone in a basement during a pandemic. With some new mics and toys featuring on this recording, Sterling experiments a bit more with recording techniques and different sounds… Read more »
LP Edition of 280. Co-Release Round Bale Recordings $21 Gorgeous set of duets by France’s Delphine Dora and Pittsburgh’s Jackie McDowell. This is the first time we have done a release by McDowell (who we first heard back when she was recording as Inez Lightfoot), but we were lucky enough to have done the Divine Ekstasys LP (FTR 342), on which Delphine collaborated with the great Sophie Cooper. The Dream of Change is another amazing piece of music, Delphine mostly provides voice and keys, Jackie adds vocals and strings, and the combination possesses an otherworldly beauty that will knock you right off your cloud. Their approaches to avant-ethereal are different and distinct, but the way they blend and amplify each… Read more »
