Dear Dead City is a project headed by John Layko Torkelson. Started in 2004, Dear Dead City has released two split eps. One with Glynis called "Division/Devision" and one with This Level is Clouds! called "of the sunsets, of the seas" Dear Dead City has also released a self-titled ep. Currently on hiatus, Dear Dead City will be back with a new ep by summer's end.
Corps-Morts records out of Quebec has graciously offered to press up 100 limited copies of the split ep "of the sunsets, of the seas" for distribution overseas. The Canadian version of "of the sunsets, of the seas" is now sold out.
If you would like to pruchase "of the sunsets, of the seas" you can go to
Reformer Records and pick up a copy. It's only $3.99 and can be shipped anywhere in the world. Plus you will be helping some very nice Chicago people.
1) NEW SONGS UP NOW OFF OUR 7" EP "FRANCIS" & "RUE THE WORD"
2) THE GRISTLEIZER "TREMO-LFO" OF THROBBING GRISTLE FAME AND LEGEND, NOW IN A PEDAL VERSION!
That's right: Endangered Audio of Asheville, North Carolina is now
commercially producing Gristleizers. Basically a portion of a synth
that has been removed and put into a pedal, the Gristleizer is one of
the most unique guitar/bass/synth/sousaphone/WHATEVER YOU WANT effects
ever created. Go to
http://www.smashingguitarsasheville.com/products/gristleizer-stompbox
for more info and ordering. WE DO SHIP INTERNATIONALLY.
Why is King Tut telling you about this? Well, Mark, the guitarist,
works at Endangered Audio and builds these things with the help of a
few other coworkers (Charlie, Dave, Jenny, Rosser, Nick, & Toby). This
is a boutique, hand-made operation using 100% analog circuitry and 110%
effort and attention to detail.
Also, if you click on the "used/vintage" tab on the website, you will
see some pretty awesome guitars, amps, and pedals for sale for dirt
cheap! We recently expanded our store on the internet to move things
that have been sitting around the shop for too long so these prices
really, quite simply, can't be beat.
Thanks for your time and patience, hope you enjoy!

More Mars is very proud to announce a new series entitled "anarthria"(from the greek word anarthros = the complete inability to produce articulate speech. )
First release would be Fiesta Animal's Secrete formula of Coca-cola. A collective of artists [musicians, painters, interfering individuals...] from Uruguay, that join together their artistic suggestions and give us their own musical Idiom. Music deeply influenced by 80s and 70s no wave, industrial and psychedelic scene but also mixed with Latin American culture. The unorthodox way of the recording and the production, using tape recorders, give us a sence of an undiscovered old tape. Lo-fi aesthetic meets freak out psychedelia and tropical rhythms. A big variety of instruments like glockenspiel, percussions, gitars, sumplers ... and the characteristic vocals of Ana Arioni and Adriana Navarro give us as a result a musical construction that sounds more like a fiesta that leads you to spiritual trance. This cd-r comes out with a six page booklet full of graphic designs by Julia Saldain using scaner, paints, fax, pics, collages and much much more!
The group have been elected in the 'Garita Sonora' call by the Ministry of Education and Culture in Uruguay, where some of Fiesta Animal's most experimental work will be performed and their excellent visual art exhibited.
This release would be a limited edition of 250 copies
