Can't/Heather Leigh/Carly Ptak/Zaïmph - untitled - 2x8" lathecut set Jessica Rylan (aka Can't) provides a 'cover version' of part of Junko's 'Sleeping Beauty' with heavily processed voice and homemade modular synthesizer. Double Leopards' Marcia Bassett pushes the tolerances of the lathe-cut to breaking point with the intensely distorted vocal loops of 'Winter Lips'. Carly Ptak offers perhaps the most unexpected contribution with the documentation of a talk she gave during a workshop dedicated to creative realisation. Heather Leigh assaults a massively reverberant drum set, all the while wailing like some supernatural creature of Scottish legend. Stunning cover art by Karen Constance. PLEASE ENQUIRE.
Arachnid Arcade - Arachnid Arcade - 2x3" CD-R, £5/$10 postpaid Creepy-as-hell improvisations for electronics, table-top guitar and contact mic, mining a vein of mid-19th century symbolism via late '60s downer psych perfectly evoked by the cover image of serpent-eyed female recumbent among ferns. Edition of 50 in super-nice mini-gatefold sleeve.
Deepkiss 720 - Arse Decks Barry White w/ Sludgehammer - c45, £4/$8 postpaid 10th anniversary reissue of debut DK release in a micro-edition of 25 copies.

Kylie Minoise - Mondo Luxurious Thrill Fest - CD-R, £5/$10 postpaid Using just microphone, amplifier and a bunch of FX pedals, this one-man health and safety violation (real name, Lea Cummings) performs guerrilla rituals of blistering white noise, feedback and old-school self-abuse. Edition of 50.
Villa Valley - Bedienungsanleitung - CD-R, £5/$10 postpaid Semi-archival release from Royal Oak, Michigan stunt duo. VV trade their customary primitive electronics aggro for a dual guitar feedback squall that recalls a more closely mic’d Dead C or the noisiest bits of Red Crayola’s 1967 festival appearances. Numbered edition of 50 copies in paste-up card wallets.

Manchester’s Kalbakken rework traditional Norwegian folksongs on violin, guitar and voice. Beautiful microtonal harmonies depicting stories about nature, tradition, nostalgia and the threat of bloodshed. Featuring a portion of Stuckometer, this is not to be missed! Also from Manchester is Dan Bridgewood-Hill bringing compositions and improvisations on Spanish guitar. Refreshing, transcendent, complex and dark. Brighton’s own 21 Crows complete this acoustic bill – guitar, accordian and voice. Ex-Planquez. Expansive narratives and otherworldly sonics.
