!!!Starved Relations Update!!!


https://starvedrelations.bigcartel.com/


A long awaited split of true, forward thinking industrial is accompanied by two tapes dark and heavy synth / cold-wave manipulations, and two blackened power electronics. Euro distros and labels get in touch! White Centipede Noise (Germany) are in talks to have copies come January - but we are currently looking for any / other European distribution as well!


Climax Denial & The Siamese Pearl split cs
A truly incredible work, years in the making and now finally coming to light. Starved Relations is proud to present two of the most dedicated and unique voices in industrial and underground electronics, coming together to each fill a side of tape with a batch of stunning solo material, and also gracing our ears with two tracks of collaborative works. Climax Denial presents some of his strongest tracks to date, ingeniously arranging his unmistakable sleazy yet nuanced and intelligently perverted electronics with at times absolutely unhinged vocals. The all too rarely found material from The Siamese Pearl brings forth utterly brilliant ritualistic and occult post-industrial sorcery, crafted through hypnotic and mystic rhythms, gorgeously diseased electronics, and at times, chant like vocal passages. A signature sound and articulate design only matched to his long standing meticulous and powerful artistic vision. Pro-pressed cassettes with art and design arranged by the artists themselves. SR-36



Plagues - Dying Of The Light / Triumph Of The Dark cs
Black magic electronics. Potent and illusionary. Devoid of faith. Occult electronic overtones, frost bitten guitars, and haunted voices of the past come alive to create a false sense of purpose and meaning. 2013 archived material for thankfully failed split, now alchemically reworked and remixed into being. No sound samples. Give yourself to the void. c10 SR-38



Plagues - Blackened Winter Promo '18 cs
Archival ritual recordings from 2013-2018 of raw sketches and demonstrations of depression soaked atmospheres. Blackened Atrax Morgue worship by way of slow burn electronics, choked vocals, decaying melancholic melodies and subzero crackle. Non-label / no catalog, hand numbered release limited to a small handful of copies. No sound clips. Strictly for those without faith. c30



Dropped Calls - Demo cs
Proper reissue of the debut recording from the West Michigan synth-pop duo consisting of Brandon Hill (Plagues, Cloud Rat) on synths and programming, and the multimedia mastermind Levi Bailey (L.B., Fuck Marry Kill label) on lyrics and vocals. Recorded in 2013, and previously only available from the band as a small self released edition which contained unique hand made collages from phone books. Raw, brooding synth tracks heavily influenced by gigantic 80's synth-pop and John Carpenter-like horror soundtracks were all recorded live in one take with no edits and were then later given Levi's trademark versatile and fervor induced vocal treatments. - Crude, cheap synths and at times literally smoldering machines such as the Alesis Micron and SR-16, Korg MS2000, a barely functioning Korg Poly 800, and a broken mixer with onboard FX were all that were used to create a batch of emotionally charged memorable songs that represent paranoia, nostalgia, media consumption, the ups and downs of relationships, and years of pseudo-intellectual psychobabble behind life's most passionate and intimate discussions. An honest, at times damaged recording of the daily ache of waking up, and lives lived of repeated failures. c20 SR-11


Milliken Chamber - Lilly Of The Valley cs
The proper full length debut recording from this Michigan bred now L.A. based synth-pop duo. Anna Schmidt (Jane Chain, Prudence) and Kevin Czarnik (Belladonna Grave, Denim, Forever Grey) have been long forging and sculpting to laser precision their own modern approach to a classic moody, atmospheric dark-wave drenched synth-pop sound. Cold, bleak, heavy, and brilliantly sequenced analog synth and drum tracks are laced with gorgeous and ghostly vocals over 5 songs of unforgettable arrangements. Perfect winter night drive music. A stunning debut saluting the experiences and great influences of their past while simultaneously giving forth promise of what's to come. c40 (20 minute program) Double A-Side cassette. SR-37

Hopefully you can send these my way along with the parcel you've owed me since July 2017.
