FAX 029: Laura Warholic - “what comes before the word??” C26

Laura Warholic, AKA Merv Glisten (one half of gloom-pop dynamo, Angels in America), brings us a bizarre, otherworldly dictation of click-clack static, sickly ditties, and cautionary spoken word. Recorded over the course of two years, and with landmark results, I am incredibly proud to be releasing this thoughtful and captivating collection of songs. Edition of 50.

FAX 028: Noise Nomads - “Menacing Bells” C30

The swamp hag lifts himself out of the mire for another screeching, swirling onslaught of harsh owl howl, bowls and sticks turned into tools of oppression. Is that the door? Is it...? Edition of 100.

Both available now from Faux-Pas Recordings.

Sam Gas Can - "Life On Earth..." C-24

2011-10-28T15:08:00.000-07:00

My new cassette, “Life on Earth is Pure and Golden, Life on Earth is Hell on Earth”, is now available for purchase from Lighten Up Sounds. Edition of 50, so get one quick!

From the label:

"If you are afraid of sounds that sound like sounds, please go home. Packing a respectable ten songs into 24 minutes, Mass-hole underground beatnik Sam Gas Can returns with a series of blown sessions ranging broadly from pseudo-techno bedroom lounge vibes to lonely and depressive acoustic murder ballads. Essential groove organ cookers via vintage keyboard pre-programmed tones sauced with a subdued but consistent sense of bummer lyricism and steadily skewed vox delivery. Hollering against howling winds, calling out into the future of the outsider-pop wasteland. Features several undeniable instant classics. Schmaltzy sleeper groove ballad drooler “Night Moves” will soften the hardest of hearts and the completely over the top “No One To Watch Over Me” hits a homer as a Vegas nightclub show closer including a full on dubbed up orchestra climax. Dang, pipe dream radio. Real time duplicated clear shell cassette with bright yellow printed labels comes packaged with a double-sided full color card stock J-card featuring an evocative back-of-the-head self-portrait photo shot by Sam himself, and a Horoscope insert. Sleep if you will, suckers."

And if you missed them before, some more sound samples.

Rose is a brilliant filmmaker, more recently directing the music video for Thurston Moore's "Circulation", and Elaine makes excellently eerie music under the name Horsebladder.

Cave Bears in the Village Voice

2011-08-05T00:46:00.000-07:00

Check out this article about the Cave Bears in the Village Voice, I took the photo (enlarged version above)! It's from a show we both played at Port d'Or in Brooklyn on New Year's Eve, and was absolutely one of my favorite sets I've ever seen them play. It included them throwing tapes completely covered in Vaseline at the audience, rapping over a Bob Marley cassette, and closing with a Les Rallizes Dénudés cover. Needless to say, it was a fun night.

UPDATE 8/8: Free Music Archive does a follow-up article.

2011-07-27T18:42:00.000-07:00

I don't generally post process pages on this blog, but the density and manic quality of this spread seemed kind of interesting to me, so I thought I'd throw it up for the hell of it, all notes and thumbnails from my newest comic book, "2012".

Post-Materialists cassette

2011-07-06T21:56:00.001-07:00

Check out the cover design I did for this new cassette by the Post-Materialists, out now on Eggy Records! So sayeth Eggy:

"The world is a big place and Russia is long way away. Post-Materialists hail from Moscow and their style of fringe music is as far removed from what I'm used to as their location is removed from me geographically. I dig how "classically weird" they sound -- no reverb, very little delay, relatively clean recordings, lots of backwards sounds and an emphasis on odd textures, plain and simple. So if you're concerned about whether the music you listen to sounds "cool" or not, you can skip this one. For real. But if you're ok with things being playful and a little odd, you will get some enjoyment out of this tape. It's definitely out of the ordinary. The singing is in Russian!"

You can grab a copy from their official mail order zone.

Remember all those weird green pages that have appeared intermittently on this blog? Well, those and some unseen others have been collected into an oversized 28-page comic book, premiering at the Toronto Comics Art Festival this weekend, courtesy of Secret Acres. Put simply, it is the true story of the end of humanity as we know it, the impending end times, and the world that exists thereafter (featuring Dracula and Jackie Chan). There will be extremely limited quantities at the convention, so if you're going, get at it quick (I'll be there too!), but it should be printed in a full run soon after to be found in all the regular comics haunts.

A demented duo from Brattleboro, VT, Sord is lookalike lovers, like Mates of State but totally fucked. Featuring members of acts like Nals Goring, Horse Boys, and Heat Wilson, this cassette is 30 minutes of aggressive pop drive-by, tape manipulation, and the skewed skits of Russian immigrants. More recently having expanded into a quartet and changing their name to Easy Street, this may just be one of the last few Sord recordings to exist. Comes sealed in a small manila envelope with xerox insert and features partial production work from Chris Cooper of Fat Worm of Error fame.

Still, Brattleboro's (by way of Colorado) Happy Jawbone Family Band has made one of the most creative and exciting pop records I have heard in years, with 40 songs and over an hour of music that will capture your heart, feed it LSD, dance to records with it all night, then tuck it in with a kiss as the sun rises. For fans of the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band, Maher Shalal Hash Baz, the Beatles, music, etc. Discs come wrapped in cardstock in a hand-numbered edition of 100, sealed in poly bags with a lollipop!

ltd #78: Sam Gas Can - "Dog Dance" C22
(Digitalis Limited Editions)

from the label:
"sam gas can is one to leave you wondering endlessly and wandering aimlessly. it all starts with a low-key dance party for your favorite haunted asylum. manic voices and near-tribal beats plummet like a meteor through the clouds. you walk into this mental ward with no fucken clue how you got there. luckily there's clarity on the horizon in the form of uber-melodic synth passages that will guide you like a drunken sailor back to the shore. the morning brings pump organ catharsis that's bathed in warm white light. hypnotic vocals fill the air while the melodies grind along underneath. it's blindingly emotive - you can't help but be drawn in by the familiar comforts of each note that gently takes you home. beautiful stuff from one of the most underappreciated artists in massachussetts. edition of 75, pro-dubbed."

new tape out from Scumbag Relations:

"Ex-custodial artist creates an album full of summer. Butterfly ditties and pink lemonade serenades. Really solid/soiled set of varied sound pieces. Ranging from soft acoustic melodies to crusty feedback dirges with some casio pop and drone maneuvers sprinkled throughout.

Watercolor cover art by Sir George Double Eww Myers.

Also included with each cassette is a b+w xeroxed mini zine featuring Mr. Gas Can's summer themed photography."

FAX 009: Mountain Oyster - "Balls Deep" digital cassingle

Mountain Oyster was a sludgy metal band composed of John Guida on guitar, Sam Gas Can on bass, and D. Moor on drums. We only played one show in Worcester, MA with Grass Widow, the Dungeoneers, and Bloody Swimsuit. This is the only song made, recorded in a glass room with a Sears brand tape recorder just outside the room, mid-summer 2009. Best heard with volume up very high.

Available for free download here.
