Highly-anticipated second album from the trio of Vincent De Roguin (Shora), Stephen O'Malley (Sunn0))), KTL) and Daniel O'Sullivan (Guapo). Like their genre and audience-confounding debut “Deep In Ocean Sunk the Lamp of Light,” “Betimes” is an atmospheric, constantly changing piece that encompasses a mind-boggling array of different performance and processing techniques. The deeply psychedelic and affecting results present a soundstage that is continually evolving, with new elements entering and leaving the fray every couple of seconds. Betimes includes significant contributions from free percussionists Nicolas Field and Alex Babel, who sprinkle the sound field with an almost FMP-style rush of splattering drum sound, raising the intensity of the music (without resorting to bashing). Betimes also features a brief but perfect vocal from Ulver mastermind Kristoffer Rygg...

Full of classic, richly textured songs of love, loss and stunned acquiescence to the wonders of the world.

Includes Tomokawa’s ending theme song for director Rokuro Mochizuki’s “Johnen – Jo no Ai” – a retelling of the Abe Sada story.

"Noble, Edwards and Ward play together. Simple statement, but playing is a serious business. The great cultural historian Johan Huizinga even suggested re-naming our species homo ludens: man-the-player describes the human (sapiens, wisdom, certainly don’t). Play incorporates language, ritual, myth, laughter. Play is at the heart of the interaction of these great players. From the opening riff, with Ward’s scattergun guitar fizzing around Noble’s detonations, the game is on.
It’s often the element of play in improvised music that prepares the ears for its more profound moments. The skittering of drum and bass gives way, suddenly, to a sonic shriek, a blast that leaves the listener metaphorically pressed against the wall. There are few musical experiences that move from the titillating to the terrifying in such a short space of time..."

New York's seminal No Wave band, DNA, makes it's highly anticipated American CD debut with this definitive collection of studio and live recordings. Many musicians have sited DNA as a main influence including Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth and the band Blonde Redhead, who appropriated their name from a DNA song title. This CD compiles all of the studio and many choice live recordings. Of particular interest are the original lineup's 'early versions' of 'Detached,' '5:30' and 'Low' (which is closely related to 'A New Low.') The unreleased studio tracks 'Grapefruit,' 'Police Chase' and 'Young Teenagers Talk Sex' are heard here for the first time as well as live versions of the unreleased songs 'Nearing' and 'Surrender.' Exclusive liner notes from Byron Coley, Jason Gross and Glenn O'Brien pack the 16 page booklet alongside many unseen photos and flyers.

"Birthdays consists of two live sets by maverick amplified-glass player Justice Yeldham recorded during his & Keg's recent tour of Europe. If you've never heard of the guy you are in for a bloody treat. Using concert-grade piano contact mics, he amplifies a sheet of glass and plays it with his mouth and face, processing it with pedals attached to his belt, usually barefooted. The results are unworldly, and hearing it you would never imagine what created it, something only an Aussie could achieve. Like careening assaults of insect spaceships, he transports the listener to other worlds of sound, ending most often in a crash of the glass upon his head. He survives, bloody but alive, never worse for wear in the morning..."

"R.Y.N. is the project of Pete Burn (Marzuraan) and Dean Glaister (Romance). With one 7" on Drone Records to their name this is their first full length and I am very proud to be the one releasing it. Those familiar with Romance will know how rare it is for Dean to release anything and it was at Dean’s house I first heard the embryo to this album. I was blown away to the point of demanding permission to release it. 18 months later it's finally finished. It's been a long arduous journey and holding the finished result in my hands it was worth every effort." - Martin Willford (Shift/Unrest Productions). Edition of 500 copies.
"6 long tracks of waving and slowly shifting massive drones, based on guitar, bass, metal and effects. The sounds here are just flooding immensely, there's nothing 'concrete' you can hold on to..."

The long awaited new album from Minneapolis legend Michael Yonkers.
"Michael Yonkers must rank as one of the oddest figures in the already pretty-damn-odd story of American garage and psychedelia. Back in 1968, Yonkers and his friends had been busy gorging themselves on the sort of garage psych and surf that a couple of decades later the Nuggets compilations would rescue from 1000 damp garages and dusty lofts.
Excited by the rough DIY feel of the records they heard they decided to have a go at it themselves. Yonkers got things off to a flying start by taking a saw to a perfectly good guitar - unhappy with his telecaster's too-pretty sound he cut down the body to a plank, slacked off the strings and drove it's chiming clashing tones through homebrew fx units and layers of distortion..."
