All tapes £4 including worldwide delivery.
OUBLIETTE - UNTITLED C32
OUBLIETTE makes his debut on Beartown with a freshly chopped block of good ole fashioned gutter-pop. Spiraling out of control from the word go, STILGAR sees the listener taken on a break-neck, break-brain speed journey through the outer reaches of the noise-composition-o-sphere. Ear-bleed metallic crashes and hyperspeed mumbo-jumno incantations blend and merge, only ceasing to allow echoing washes of FM radio through.
Elsewhere, DEEPER is the endlessly expressing brain in a jar turning his hand to passionate psycho sing-along. Somewhere in the distance is music box twinkle of a burning ice cream van, or the last tragic movement by a long forgotten robot orchestra, left to rot and rust on some damned wind swept abyss.
4 tracks over 2 sides of 1 tape. 4 reasons not 2 bother with any 1. Track list - A1 Morning Pool, A2 Stilgar, B1 Deeper, B2 Wet Moss.
Edition of 49. With green tapes and monochromatic artwork on textured paper.
ASTRAL SOCIAL CLUB - TWO SLABS C30
From stints in the A-Band, and Vibracathedral Orchestra, from collaborations with Dylan Nyoukis and Richard Youngs, Neil Campbell aka ASTRAL SOCIAL CLUB has been churning it out and gurning it up for decades. The bears stalked and waited, the bears got drunk and sent a polite email, the bears are honoured to release this giddy excursion into pure, toe-tapping mesmo-paranoia. On side A we find head-nodding synth arpeggios, beats turned back on themselves, and eye-lid heavying metronomic drum pounds.
Side B is the calm after the calm before the storm, reversed field recordings lazily drag themselves through knee-deep expanses of heaving bass fuzz, and twinkling cycles of sparkling keyboard loops.
One for the long drive to the coast, or to be played at the funeral of your favorite clockwork dog.
Edition of 49. With blue tapes, cellular artwork and "Deirdre & Ken" on-tape stickers.
NOW WASH YOUR HANDS - ALWAYS CLEAN C30
Nathan Nothing compiles a best/worst of NOW WASH YOUR HANDS, drawn from a series of 3 or so self-issued CDR releases. Whether he's combining punishing signal generation with grinding static hiss, or screaming hygiene advice over whirring synth sirens, Nothing enthralls and instructs, laying down the law with regard to post-germ theory cleanliness and the need to exclude the outer from the inner. Commanded to become healthy, the listener is surrounded by abject sickness.
An audiophonic assault, and a battle-cry for the spik and span. ALWAYS CLEAN is both disorientating and focusing, scurry away from this tape and scrub until you are clean, you will never, ever be clean again.
Edition of 34. With clean white tapes, green stickers and instructions on appropriate usage.
