| SADAKO Ancient Burial Chambers Volume 2 Haunted Tapes, CS |
|
|
| Found a box of old Haunted Tapes stuff lying around... A tape that sounds as creepy as you'd expect given the title and artist name. |
| SASQROTCH / YUKO CHINO Split DNT, CS |
|
|
| We couldn't come up with a better way to describe this split tape than what the label already said, so we're going to cheat by copying and pasting their write-up: "After countless outings practicing unsafe hesh, the mighty Sqrotchers have finally been burned by the evil loins of love. They have been infected with cruel, punishing, unforgiving Genre-rhea... Performed in burkas, recorded live at the smell 8-5-08. Flipside is Yuko Chino. Bedroom black metal at it's met-lest! Current Sasqrotch bassist/guitar danny no/fi brings you Filosofem era Burzum meets Khanate & Burning Witch for a night out on the town with Shellac's drum kit sans corpse paint & cut off jean jacket. I wish I had one of those..." |
| SCISSOR LOCK Thawing Voices sound&fury, CD-R |
|
|
| Marcus Whale describes himself as an "overenthusiastic teenager", and we couldn't agree more. As well as running his own label, Curt (which has released music by Anonymeye and Shoeb Ahmad's prepared piano project Pieno), Marcus performs and records under the name Scissor Lock. Though in the past Scissor Lock has utilised instruments (piano, guitar, Tibetan singing bowl), but with Thawing Voices he's crafted a three-part song suite using nothing but his own vocal cords. Marcus loops and layers his voice into subtly-shifting drones and avant-pop songs, creating something that stands out as entirely unique, not only in the sound&fury catalogue but in the wider world of experimental sounds. |
| SCRIBBLER My Old Lady Stumparumper, 7" |
|
|
| Screen-printed covers, hand-drawn labels, shockingly lo-fi production values... how could we not be drawn to this 7"? Scribbler were entirely unknown to us before this little gem arrived on our doorstep, but now it's hard to imagine life without this. With its lazy strumming, swirling noise, inimitable vocals, it's one of the most unexpectedly engaging collection of songs we've come across in a long time. Awesome stuff, and limited just 300 copies (all hand-numbered, of course). |
| 6MAJIK9 Sinister Kindness Abandon Ship, CS |
|
|
| Out-of-print cassette from Kyogle's brain-damaged psych-folk ensemble 6majik9. With no fixed membership, 6majik9 is an ever-shifting collection of musicians orbiting Michael Donnelly, spiral architect of the musicyourmindwillloveyou label/collective. This tape, released by Abandon Ship Records in an hand-numbered edition of 100, features two side-long freakouts collaged from recordings made between 2006 and 2007. We've no idea who else is involved here, but the instrumentation includes guitars, woodwinds, and of course the group's signature percussive clatter. Highly recommended. |
