ZAIMPH 7" 6$PPD
 | In
the past Marcia Bassett(of Double Leopards, GHQ) has proved her
versaitility under the Zaimph name; from the depraved feedback and tone
fury of her “Sexual Infinity” CD on Hospital Productions to her
delicate electric guitar and vocals waves on the “Mirage of The Other”
LP on Gypsy Sphinx. This untitled 7” release further proves this fact
by recalling her earliest roots in the Siltbreeze band UN: vocal
mantras and delicate strumming are placed over a hypnotically evolving
base of looped piano, feedback, and strings. The end result is
something beautiful that twists the lines of classification, picking up
little points of reference from her past bands and laying out a path
towards the future. In an edition of 500 7”s in proprinted full color
foldover sleeves with art by Marcia. Mastered by Josh Stevenson.

KAEZM- "HYDROGEN FALLS" C33 6$PPD
 | Denmark is
a place teeming with half fried organic drone crews such as Sarah’s
Charity and Family Underground. Kaezm is the solo output for Nicolas
Kauffmann of FU; here he channels electricity through criss-crossing
patterns creating a midrange din full of lament. Nic’s drones move with
static builds from a variety of sources and multiple levels of echoing
chorus: airy, buzzing mantras tinged with Middle Eastern vibes and a
deepening sense of time beat down like an incessant rainfall in a storm
of hiss. In an edition of 100 labeled tapes with full color art by Nic.

MANIACS DREAM- "ZANZIBAR" LP 13$PPD
 | Finland is
the epicenter of collective music making. Under the name Maniacs Dream,
members of Finnish bands such as Avarus, Fricara Pacchu, Kemialliset
Ystävät, and more come together to create blown out free rock. Their
unique/bizarre approach to music making, constantly questioning the
construction/deconstruction of sound creates songs at times recalling
the electro acoustic clatter drone of Avarus crossed with tribal
rhythms and intergalactic kraut rock guitar zones. Total sonic freedom
with a punk ethos directly influenced by a trip to Zanzibar prior to
recording this record (which is a reissue of the long sold out tape
originally released on Lal Lal Lal in 2006). In an edition of 450
records on light blue vinyl with printed labels and full color
proprinted foldover sleeves with art by Benjamin Bergman and an insert.

TREETOPS- "PERMISSION / WHEN I WAS YOUNGER" LP 11$PPD
 | Spirited
youth and the intense magnification of focused energies chart the
recent zones for Treetops. Utilizing tapes, casio keyboards, vocals and
a variety of other sources, the path to earth bound nature drone is
firmly rooted in electricity. Like the combination of the glacial
drifts of massive rocks and the movements of air, the sources meld into
blissed out meditative drones: ceremonial music rising into the future
to get out of the past. Infinite ancients; constantly progressing,
constantly evolving. Mastered by Pete Swanson (D. Yellow Swans); in an
edition of 300 copies in proprinted foldover sleeves featuring
photography by Kyle Parker (Infinite Body). The B-Side features a
remastered and extended version of the “When I Was Younger” 2xc10
(arbor69) from last winter.
