Immune, quite simply one of the best labels in the world, is taking preorders for two new cassettes by Expo 70. The first is a new pressing of the ever-popular “Where Does Your Mind Go?” (sold out two vinyl pressings now), the second is “Journey Through Astral Projection”, a brand new set of recordings from [...]
We’ve got a healthy batch of new tapes on our little in-house label, Sweat Lodge Guru. The time that went into creating and packaging the Wroom release explains the very low catalog number, we’ve been working on it for what seems like forever. Gastón Arévalo’s cassette is one of our favorites of the year. We [...]
Uh, wow, this one should be around for about 20 seconds, don’t sleep on it. SCROLL is a pummeling one-man black metal project from Washington, this is the debut cassette. It’s limited to only 30 copies (even less than that are left) and costs $5. Stream it below, then buy it on Bandcamp. Scroll by [...]
Solid Melts is definitely one of our favorite midwest labels, they are always putting out great stuff. They’ve got a new tape up by Archers by the Sea that sounds just beautiful. Slow, zoned-out sounds for your lazy weekend. Limited to 50 copies and priced at $6 shipped via SolidMelts.com. Archers By The Sea “Aloah!” [...]
I always seem to miss “Tape Tuesday” with my cassette write-ups, my apologies. This Shroud Of Winter tape is actually by Andrew Plante (aka Plante) and is presented by Expo 70′s Sonic Meditations label. Far from his usual output, “Solstice Eclipse” is a collection of barren, stripped-down black metal passages. You won’t find any glossy, [...]
One of the more promising new tape labels we’ve seen lately is False, and they’ve got a beautiful trio of introductory releases available. The clear winner for us is Aaron Martin’s “Stitched In Fire”, a collection that features reinterpretations of Martin’s “Worried About The Fire” album from last year. Artists include Jasper TX, Luperci, Machinefabriek, [...]
Wanted to drop a quick line about three new tapes from our in-house label, Sweat Lodge Guru. We consider Nocow, Moon Tides, and Range Rover to all be very much on the rise, we couldn’t be more honored to work with them. All of these are limited to 100-120 copies each, they may not be [...]
We’ve been watching what Crash Symbols has been releasing for some time now, cautiously creeping around, waiting for their next move. Well, it’s finally time, they deserve a big writeup and a lot of support, they’ve clearly proven to be one of the best tape labels working today. Their newest cassette, Pressed And’s “Imbue Up” [...]
First, let’s get this out of the way right now, Auris Apothecary has the most insane packaging in the tape world today. “Ooru Naito Rongu”, their newest release from Torture Corpse, showed up at my doorstep looking like a pile of moldy moss. It was actually some scouring pads held together with an obi-strip, an [...]
This shit is straight off the Autobahn. Cave have truly pulled up their motorik, Krautrock roots and are waving them around for everybody to see. I’m really quite excited to listen to Neverendless on vinyl, this type of music just seems to perfectly fit the analogue medium (see Kraftwerk, Neu!, etc.) but what’s this – you [...]
