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 [...]
We’ve been massively in love with Mo Kolours’ first EP since it dropped a few months ago, but were bummed that the vinyl disappeared almost instantly, leaving only digital behind. We have teamed up with the fine folks at One-Handed Music to release a one-time limited edition cassette version. If you haven’t heard this album [...]
Digitalis just swooped into my inbox with two huge new tapes. Concern’s “Living Wage” collects more of the masterful drone this project has become known for, Motion Sickness Of Time Travel’s “White Candle” includes a bunch of beautiful tunes that didn’t make the last album. The Concern is limited to 120, the MSOTT is limited [...]
Sorry for the lack of posts lately, real life has gotten in the way of fun stuff like music. We should be back to full speed tomorrow. In the meantime, if you’re looking for some psyched-out new tapes, you can’t do much better than Sun Araw’s Sun Ark label. Righteous Acid’s “Mellow Doses” is burned [...]
