New Forces

I am happy to announce four titles from New Forces: The Rita "Magazine" double LP, and tapes from Interracial Sex, Body Carve, and Bloomer.

* Please note - if you previously preordered the special edition of The Rita - "Magazine," those will begin shipping this week. Feel free to add new titles to your order - any new orders placed before Thursday (4/4/19) will be combined. If shipping adjustments are required I will contact you directly.

The Rita - Magazine

New Forces is happy to announce the reissue of "Magazine," the landmark noise album by The Rita, as a gatefold double LP. Originally released as a limited-edition double cassette on Swedish label Abisko in 2005, "Magazine" has since become a near-legendary album, considered by many to be the finest recording from pioneering harsh noise artist The Rita (and equally celebrated for its iconic artwork, featuring a Big Muff effects pedal acting as the magazine for a machine gun). "Magazine" contains 80 minutes of militant noise music, with Sam McKinlay pushing the limits of extreme sound until they begin to implode. Drawing influence from abstract painters such as Ad Reinhardt and Kazimir Malevich, the four tracks on "Magazine" are progressively deconstructed, slowly taking the dynamic sonic elements away until the last track is a linear / minimalist "wall" of texture and crunch. Ultimately the hope is that under a microscope the same slowly deteriorating audio dynamism and viciousness from the first three tracks is still present, just found within the walls of linear crunch during the last track, "Obsession." A study in brutality, density, and focus, "Magazine" tests the listener, challenging them to fully engage with the shifting layers of sound that, through careful study, continually expand beyond their seemingly minimalist form. This militant approach to sound became a call to action for a generation of noise artists who were influenced by The Rita, and "Magazine" has finally been reissued for all to hear.

Interracial Sex - Forced Busing

Interracial Sex returns to New Forces with another 60 minutes of elite power electronics. An in-depth exploration of racial desegregation in American cities, these songs draw inspiration from historical research and the artist's own experiences with public education. Racist violence, state-intervention, and the sexually charged fears of miscegenation are woven into brutalizing slabs of heavy electronics. This is Interracial Sex at its most crude and powerful, as old tube amplifiers are smashed into the floor to create deranged bursts of noise, and vocal tracks recorded during periods of intense mania pierce the walls of sound. Samples from old newsreels provide context and a window into the hate and anger that drove bitter conflicts over schooling in the United States. A true expression of American power electronics in both form and content.

Body Carve - Autoamputation

I am happy to present "Autoamputation," the new tape from longtime New Forces ally Body Carve. Building on the success of recent well-received efforts for White Centipede Noise and Gutter Bloat, Body Carve continues to impress with harsh noise that features a heavy dose of scrap metal destruction. Working in the best of the Americanoise tradition, Body Carve smashes lines of audio into a maelstrom of white hot sound that can pull the listener into a trance before rudely pummeling them with an expertly placed transition. "Autoamputation" has that rare blend of intensity and textural precision found only in the best harsh noise, maintaining the feel of the destroyed objects without sacrificing volume. The best of current harsh noise.

Bloomer - Wound With A Foreign Object Embedded

Ryan Bloomer (Intensive Care, Flatline Construct, The Endless Blockade) assembled one of the most flawless harsh noise discographies of the past decade with a series of recordings released under his own name on labels like Harsh Head Rituals, Self Abuse, and Chondritic Sound. I've been hoping Ryan would record a follow up to his New Forces tape for years, and I'm happy to announce a return to the textual harsh noise he is known for, this time under the moniker "Bloomer." The trademark walls of crunch are combined with flawless cuts, but what sets "Wound With A Foreign Object Embedded" apart from previous efforts is the increased use of tape as an editing tool and sound source. Heading in the opposite direction of most "tape music," Bloomer uses tape to inject a crude intensity into these walls of sound. The evolution of North American harsh noise from an undisputed master.
