SCUM – Exploitation des machines a habiter LP+CD
$40.00Add to cartThe first full-length LP from Sou Inomoto’s Scum is a career highlight, a focused and highly detailed work of extreme electronics tension and layered dynamic uncomfortability. ‘Exploitation des machines a habiter’ is two lengthy tracks: the first a tunnelled exorcism of straining drones and sympathetic textures which peaks into noise saturation; the second a longer …
Z’EV & ILLUSION OF SAFETY LP
$28.00Add to cartLong overdue and essential industrial collaboration, co-released by Cipher Productions amongst others. “I had been riding Daniel Burke for probably eight years about this release. For some time, it had been finished, and it was said that Z’ev had a label who was releasing it. It came to be that Z’ev had sent a lot …
ENDPROJEKT – Distraktion / Despair CS
$15.00Add to cartNew recordings from this incredible trio of Dominic Guerin (Tone Generator, SPK, Last Dominion Lost), Hirofumi Uchino (Defektro), Steve Spectre (Fraughman). ‘Distraktion’ ascends through carefully developed synth layers, initial ambience giving way to a more painful atmospheric assault as solar winds penetrate deeper than their tangibility suggests. B side ‘Despair’ hangs disconcerting curtainry back on …
EVIL MOISTURE / VANITY PRODUCTIONS – Sex Sells CS
$15.00Add to cartIn the early sweat of the 2020 pandemic, ‘Sex Sells’ quickly emerged and dissipated as an online release: a remnant of grimy physicality and grinding interaction which was thrust aside as the world retreated. ‘Sex Sells’ is driven by Andy Bolus’ mangled tape mutations, made all the more vivid by Christian Stadsgaard’s sharper electronics counterpoints. …
LUCAS ‘GRANPA’ ABELA – Squirrels On Fire CS
$15.00Add to cartWhen our outdoor table broke last year and shattered glass everywhere, I thought of Lucas Abela: the flagbearer of Australia’s noise community, and properly recognised through this world and others for his work in playing and breaking glass while abusing its sonic capabilities through a variety of processes over his decades’ 12” + CD of …

SPITEFUL WOMB – Interior Castle LP
$27.00Add to cartI am very pleased to announce the release of the debut LP of Nora Zimmerman’s project Spiteful Womb. ‘Interior Castle’ coalesces so many of the elements which have coursed through Nora’s near-decade of cassette and CDR releases, combining sombre dark ambient, fetid power electronics, captured sound elements and hints of melodic dissatisfaction into a architected …
SWOLLEN ORGANS – Obesity Indoctrination CS
$12.00Add to cartAfter superb releases on labels of note including Breathing Problem, Nil By Mouth and Deathbed Tapes amongst others, I had to persuade Jimmy Aly to record some material for Cipher.

LIVING ROOM – The Cipher Tape CS
$12.00Add to cartWithin the Living Room vista Matthew promised me something “extra fucked” for ‘The Cipher Tape’, and he delivered. Mangled noisecore, electroacoustic mangling, ghastly electronics, and uncomfortable tape fragments all careen through a constantly unsettled upset of brave edits and unintended consequences. It’s cut-up, Jim, but not as we know it. A5 wraparound covers with collage …
KADAVER – My Hell Is Above CS
$12.00Add to cartAnother set of fire and brimstone from the never disappointing Kadaver.

Electronics and Stark contribute a track of their finest contemporary work, as well as a page of …

L.A.C.H – II CS
$12.00Add to cartLorenzo Abattoir and Clive Henry unravel remnants found in late night factory foraging, natural and unnatural sounds emerging from a cautious clamour which finds some resonance comparable to The New Blockaders’ calmative moments, Lethe, or Giancarlo Toniutti.

NODOLBY – Exhausted/Consumption CS
$14.00Add to cartEarthen drone and slow electronics machinations from this careful Italian soundcraftsman. ‘Exhaustion/Consumption’ rises into tempest from humble beginnings, crafted from both tangible and ethereal but all coursing through its creator.

ENCEPHALIC DEATH – Relentless CS
$12.00Add to cartThe first release from this assured project hailing from Bangalore, India. Sickly death industrial atmospheres, prickling noise suffocation, unsettling samples, and the occasional funereal pulse, acknowledging the Slaughter Productions originators while forging its own way. Edition of 75 copies, stickered resealable foil bag with insert. My own small tribute to Marco Corbelli’s simple but unsettlingly …
CIRCUIT WOUND – Involuntary Ruination CS

UTOYA – Lay Down and Rot CS
$12.00Add to cartAfter successful cassette releases on Nil By Mouth, Contradiction Tapes and Slaughterhouse Records, Utøya sharpen their tools for a new full-length cassette entitled ‘Lay Down And Rot’.

LICHT-UNG – Aube CS
$12.00Add to cartIn the final few years of his Aube project, Akifumi Nakajima (RIP) released several obscure works through and with the unpredictable and entertaining label/project Licht-Ung.

HIROSHI HASEGAWA / LEID-LINIE CD
$16.50Add to cartOver the first half of this CD Hiroshi Hasegawa (Astro, C.C.C.C., Mortal Vision, etc.) proves just why he is considered a master of the noise idiom. Through textural manipulation of feedback, corrupt electronics and junk metals, “Unconditional Surrender” is as virulent as anything in his impressive 25+ year career. Undeterred, Leid-Linie – the rebranding of …
HOSTAGE PAGEANT & THE CHERRY POINT & KAZUMA KUBOTA CD
$15.00Add to cartSometimes you have to think big, and when I was finally able to release an unearthed The Cherry Point recording I saw no option but to pair Phil Blankenship’s long-form maelstromic exhumation with two of the finest contemporary noise-makers: Hostage Pageant’s body tackling harsh noise, and the dynamic finesse and laser cut-up precision of Kazuma …
