Dead Sea Liner is a CDR label operating in the spheres of drone/noise/lo-fi. Please visit our website. Trades welcome...and feel free to buy stuff too.
Our current catalogue looks a bit like this:
DSL24 Max Bellancourt - The Stone Tape (Limited Edition 60) - £3.00
Glitchy textures, abstract field recordings and Jules Verne noise combine in a vaguely conceptual album from the elusive French experimentalist Max Bellancourt.
Sounds like the ethereal engines that drive the colossal spectral ships that pass in the night. Lured across waves of rainbow tinged drones by distant siren calls.
DSL22 Golden Oaks Three BIllion - Sumptuous Hamper (Limited Edition 50) - £3.00
Antique clarinet vibrations and flourishes fused with primitive tape loops, guitar and electronics create glorious gold and silver flecked drones as incantations for ancient factories long since succumbed to the majestic oak.
DSL21 Textured Bird Transmission - If clouds of birds descend, do not be alarmed as their wings extend beyond the universe (Limited Edition 30) - £2.00
Described by the marvelous Dead Pilot Records thus "Texture Bird Transmission is a favourite of mine. Densely layered howls and moans, sharp flickering electronics, ghostly found sounds. Almost "doom ambient" in places, though not "heavy" - just very dark and bleak. The closing track however is my favourite as the mood turns from bleak to blissful and we ar treated to a chorus of kaleidoscopic synths. Recommended."
DSL19 Electric Mono River - No Sunlight Down Here - £3.00
Live mini-album of mono spectral meditations and caveman incantations from Norwegian supergroup of Sindre Bjerga, Per Gisle Galåen and Martin Powell.
DSL18 Dead Wood - Harmonic Sector 1-10 - £3.00
As Dead Wood, Dirtydemos boss Adam Baker sculpts beautiful laptop drones from the simplest of source material. Sine waves are carefully layered and manipulated, and from this simple source material complex sounds and etherial shimmering voices are summoned. Minimal and decorated with glitchy pointillist gestures. This is a warm, visceral and narcotic listen, far removed from the usual releases in this genre.
DSL17 El Heath - A (rather) Dead Sea Liner EP - £3.00 (Limited Edition of 70)
Ambient Sea shanties and beautiful abyssal drones
DSL16 Combo Recife De Improviso - Untitled3 - £3.00
2004 vintage jam from this Brazillian free improv outfit featuring Thelmo Cristovam (Acoustic Guitar, Objects, C-Melody Sax), Tulio Falcao (Synthesizer, CD Player, Violin) and Arthur Lacerda (Guitar, Objects, Devices). 75+ minutes of acoustic noise, electro-acoustic drones and free jazz.
DSL15 Textured Bird Transmission - Spectral Doves Of Skeletal Intensity - SOLD OUT
Limited edition of 48 in hand painted covers - I may do an unlimited version too if people seem to like it.
Vital Weekly Review "Following their 'Singing Through Trees' 3" CD on Dirty Demos (see Vital Weekly 592) they return with five new tracks on 'Spectral Doves Of Skeletal Intensity' on their home label Dead Sea Liner. Still we know nothing about this troupe but they continue with some mighty fine ambient music of a darker nature; darker than the previous lot it seems to me. Ringing sounds of endless sustaining guitar, metal sheets or some such, make up these pieces, and this time it has the right length. Five pieces in about thirty five minutes of music that will surely appeal to the likes of Mirror, Ora or Monos. Very nice."
DSL14 Fordell Research Unit - Real Men Drink Horse Milk - £3.00
New solo mini album from the mighty Fraser of pjorn72 & linwood flats. 20 minutes of fuzzed out drone and ambient vignettes. Superb stuff.
DSL13 Korperschwache - The Joy of Seppuku - £3.00
Korperschwache is in fine form on this new release, this is drone in the best sense of the word. Delve beyond the surface and a multitude of twilight worlds reveal themselves to you, each one danker and merkier than the last. I can only recommend turning this one up loud and allow the music to strip away all your other senses.
DSL12 Black Sparrow - legs heavy with pollen - £3.00
Robin (of slow listener and atoms) duets with the great resonant god-bird in the sky. Sounds are apparently pulled from the aether in a glorious dissonance or singing elegant walls of breathtaking beauty. Whilst the crackle of broken electronics adds a sinister air of unease.
DSL11 (VxPxC) - Chinatown Nose-Cut - £3.00
This sister piece to (VxPxC)'s "twelve divided by three" and "reticent to manifest" cassettes sees a more electronic slant to their blissful free improv folk sound. A murky psychedelic puddle of every Californian cliche peppered with angel dust and left to melt in the midday heat. Walls of broken electricity and fuzzy musicality help you to feel like you're stumbling towards the light with a serious case on sun blindness. Limited Edition of 75.
DSL10 SRX - Vessel - £3.00
A beautiful new mini album from Sandra Reignoux as SRX. Sandra doesn't allow musical rules and conventions to stand in the way of producing some of the most evocative and delicate songs and instrumental vignettes I've heard in a long while. The Interplay between Sandra's Nico-esque voice, piano and the tired moaning of her ancient 4-track creates a wonderfully charming effect. The primitive recording techniques and the sound of breath on microphone gives the recordings an intimate quality and the sensation of proximity to greatness.
DSL09 Damno Te - Red Rain - £2.50
A harsh noise zombie concept album of sorts
DSL08 r.s.r. - Black Box - £2.50
Dark ambient/drone from the Norwegian dronemeister - monochrome nightmares guaranteed
DSL07 Mutant Ape - Worlds Collide - £2.50
A hellish miasma of noise - highly recommended
DSL05 bjerga / iversen - In broken dreams the world still keeps turning - £2.50
A great slice of industrial ambience from the Norwegian duo - walls of drone improv and inteference cut through with robot birdsong.
DSL06 The Dead Sea Liner Sports Day - SOLD OUT
Fordell Research Unit - The Bleeding Nun
Bjerga/Iversen - Buzzfield
Horse Palace - Laxativitalitude
Textured Bird Transmission - Carousel
Manchurian Fog - The Distanced Creature/Thunder Of Love
King Razor - Chronology Of Chance (Part 2)
Dead Wood - Untitled
Cel - Vilolin
Another Enough Chairs - Slow Speak
Nackt Insecten - Finest Strand, Dying Sun
r.s.r. - Red Circle
Strap The Button - Mystery Song
DSL04 Thirdorgan - Satanico Pandemonium - £2.50
Aural Pressure: "Witness the cut and paste of some Japanese pop group being pulled kicking and screaming through a mangle. Experience the 22 minute noise holocaust that constitutes the third track and try regaining your composure after that fucker. Hear this man deconstruct music and rebuild it as an aural nightmare given flesh. The lunatics have finally taken over the asylum. Yet one can‚t help but kind of appreciate all the effort put into producing music that is so far off the scale of normality that it flies in the face of all conventional reason. I mean... who in their right mind could get off on this stuff? Well I could... and did... for starters. "Satanico Pandemonium‚ is a gas. A blast. A fucked up piece of work that doesn't take itself seriously. No gung ho political or sexual rhetoric to be found on this little beauty. Just plain old noise workouts for the sake of it. For the sheer hell of it"
DSL03 another enough chairs - bring that voice to the state - SOLD OUT
Bloodties webzine "This most closely reminds me of the difference between bands like Avarus, the Finnish purveyors of noisy free psych folk and darker quieter projects such as Uton of which I am also a fan..........The last track’s noisier quality brings it a bit closer to the likes of Skullflower but there are times when the drones pull back to let reverberating percussion float throughout the space. Overall a good solid listen, this could almost be trendy material now as this psych free folk stuff seems to be getting very big nowadays but this is still very experimental and noisy with enough industrial flavor to appeal to fans of the harsher stuff as well."
DSL02 cel - fugitive angle - £2.50
Bloodties webzine "At 31 minutes the album passes by quickly especially due to its hypnotic nature. Track 2 is the strongest material on here with droning lo-fi feedback that meanders into the experimental realm a bit only to lead into reverberating drones towards the end. This is the perfect example of “lo-fi” charm. The drones are continued into track 3 where some elements are mixed well and really help the drone surround you. It’s nice to see some attention paid to mixing techniques because this is something that is very often neglected in most lo-fi endeavors. If you are a fan of newer Horse Head, Flying Saucer Attack, Cold Electric Fire, or even Fennesz or the like, check this out. It will make for great night-driving music"
The One True Dead Angel webzine "The album is one long piece that unfolds over nearly thirty minutes, like a series of icebreakers crawling slowly through deeper and thicker slabs of ice as they creep up on the mother of all glaciers. I don't know what it is they're doing or how they're getting their "motive power" (I'm guessing lots of powerful drugs, but I'll freely admit that is purely conjecture), but whatever it is, they're doing it right and we need more of it. I'll bet when they send off the flies that have been swatted, this is the music they play at the funerals."
