- Ganglians Monster Head Room LP+7"
-
Glee. See that’s a word I rarely party with in my codex but it’s just the one that I would ascribe to Ganglians. Everytime I see these chaps play I come away with a big old grin on my world-weary face. How do they do it? Well it’s the lightheartedness in their playing ... the angelic Wilson-esque vocal harmonies ... then from out of nowhere come those West African guitar stylings! And yet I can never pin down this band’s sound ... not that that’s a bad thing. In fact it’s always been a sure sign for me that the music’s doing something right. From the lazy day musings of To June to the monumental yarn Valient Brave. Jam this on your next road trip or on your back porch drinking an Arnold Palmer. This is a record for summertime if ever there was one. It’s pop music in the best sense of the word ... paramount and perennial. Hot on the heels of the recently released self titled Woodsist 12" and the split 7" with their buds Eat Skull.
- The CD version of this album is available from Woodsist.
- Limited to 500 copies on red vinyl with full color gatefold jackets.
- This is an LP + 7" package: price is $19 ppd. to US addresses, $22 ppd. to Can/Mex. and $29 ppd. to the rest of the world.

- Bee Mask Hyperborean Trenchtown LP
-
I think Chris Madak was born after impact in a car crash, and his Hyperborean Trenchtown will enter the world in a similar fashion. The album resonates a future sound vision that can only come from an old soul destined to further pave the paths laid by electronic and minimalist pioneers. Thorough audio examinations covering every facet of sound/tone property as a whole will reveal astonishing new layers listen after listen. Undeniably pure processes of creating and sustaining sound visually, sonically and otherwise brings a mathematical and scientific accuracy that hasnt been seen since the days of Lovely Music Ltd. or GRM. The album’s two side-long cuts are divided into two displays of versatility with varied sound sources including amplified acoustic instruments, hand-made electronics, phonography, and more. Brilliant textures and audio hallucinogenic time/space wormholes create infinite listening possibilities for this album. Few albums can create such a disorienting tunnel that it sounds as if the record has multiple albums locked within itself — you can hear these sounds and interpret them in so many ways that only time can unlock its many possibilities. Great albums only gain significance and this is surely no exception. Listen to this record on your turntable and stop time completely or melt into the past or the future with it — your choice.

- Freebasers Self Titled CD-Rs
-
“Brian Faulkner was my introduction to great obscure music. I appeared on his legendary KDVS radio show Nothing Exceeds Like Excess way back when as a guest DJ after I donated to the radio station. I picked out a bunch of indie rock to play and a little free jazz and he proceeded to turn me on to the insane and freaked out nooks and crannies in that basement station of wonders that I never heard of. I was hooked. Anyway being North America’s biggest Keiji Haino fan, he has been a jagged fucked-up noise monster on the guitar for a long time ... he gave me a CD-R of his 4-track Guitar Mulch that I still rock today and we used to jam with LBM members at the old Loft in town. Anyway finally got his ass in a band and here are some results. We got Daniel White in on this to play drums. I sit in with Daniel’s other band Sucks sometimes ... he has natural thrash ability so I hired him for this group. Daniel also throws good-vibed shows at Funcastle with his lady Liz. I play electric sax on these recordings. It’s total noise thrash molten lava core”—Chad Stockdale
