Beautiful 14-track, self-titled album now available on Australian label MusicYourMIndWillLoveYou MYMWLY, initial edition comes complete with creepy hand-written Edwardian mortuary toe-tag insert, plus eye-searing cover-art. Hissing M-Birds, hallucinating machines and the sub-aquatic memory-leakage of Seymour's Family Club. This is the sound of thoughts solidifying and taking shape, of an eerie inner-mind marshland:

   About Ice Bird Spiral


Ice Bird Spiral inhabit a West Country Interzone somewhere between psychedelic-noise and old school Surrealism, where found-sound and automatic writing co-exist with rural car-boot mysticism. The band are currently a 9-piece, but the other 7 are either dead or don't exist.

...first album - Mymwly0073 self-titled "Ice Bird Spiral" - Available from the inspirational, but now sadly defunkt Australian label MYMWLY. Lavishly and lovingly packaged with colour inserts and a special bloodstained mortuary toe-tag track-listing. We still have just a few remaining copies for sale - but not many!...keep an eye on our merch section over the coming days and grab it while you can...

What the critics say:

""Malnourished and toothless he stalks my dreams". So begins one of the tracks from an album which comes to you straight from the strand of nightmares. This is like a Burroughsian cut-up novel, except using sound pictures instead of words: The Westen Lands created freehand in audio! Voices, echoes, fuzzed out distortion, guitar, feedback, some rhythms, all the track titles written on an old brown card baggage label. Will you dare to listen alone?!" - Boa Melody Bar

The track "Cellaphane Madonna trolley" is out, as part of the "003 Survey" compilation on the Net-Label Classwar Karaoke. Available free for full-download in assorted formats here. This was written as part of a compilation built around the twin, intertwined themes of Burlesque and Regression, so IBS used the services of a local Yeovil-based hypnotist to summon up their favourite neuroses. See, 19th century Mesmerism isn't dead! So, come on inside the side-show tent, rube, but be prepared to confront the deepest, darkest side of your own inner sound-wyrld! "She was once a beautiful woman..." Ha!

The track "5 Black Yachts for Jean" is out now, as part of the "001 Survey" compilation on the Net-Label Classwar Karaoke. Available free for full-download n stuff here. This is a nautical, morphine-smeared tribute to Cocteau. My mate said it sounded like Pink Floyd. Yeah, right...

What the critics say:

"Kek and Cloudboy unleash another horribly mangled cacophony full of jagged fretboard abuse and other noxious noises, interwoven with seagulls, passages of unfathomable French dialogue and a dispassionate female intoning about morphine injections...transporting me into some kinda TG-circa-"Heathen Earth" nether-zone. Bloody horrible racket yet strangely compelling." - Gutterbreakz

INCOMING:

Meanwhile, the 2nd 'proper' album is almost done. Expect treated violin and string-driven chamber-drone, "Village of the Damned" style Brit Vs French childsong, drunken hobo.vox and church-organ cantatas, and some delirous spoeken-wurd stuff from our special-guest pal the Frankfurt-based surrealist poet Jaaaaaaan. A sub-underground classic-in-the-making...

A new 30min piece "Exit Through The Mirror, Child" is due to drop any time now, possibly on css. This is a single, multi-part Anti-Concept Piece (an UnRock Opera!) that takes the listener on a damaged day-out through a queasy seasick 1950's Brit seaside-town Punch n Judy performance, avant Blues Concrete, wyrmwood-addled monk.psych machine-music, ending in a beautiful accousssssmatic keyboards n cut-ups come-down. Features a special guest-appearance from nightmarish childrens-entertainer Mr. Sausages. You kids'll flip for this...!!

But keep dropping by, people, there's a whole bunch of fun-filled updates and surprise projects n releases on the cards. It's gonna be kool...

MERCH ALERT!

LES EDITIONS DU SPIRALE D'OISEAU DE GLACE

(STILL AVAILABLE! - CAN NOW BUY THRU PAYPAL, etc)


Psychiatmc Bloems - Available soon from the fabulous Flemish label Funeral Folk Some seriously deranged Industrial.Psych sheenanigans on parade here. Sounds oddly Old School Brit, and yet...

As we move through Psychiatmc Bloems' twisted sound-maze, teeth are drilled n filed and infradimensional nebishes sing mangled chansons in low-earth orbit. The trees come to life and emerge through a wardrobe, rattling their bracnhes in time to a cutlery fanfare. Ever wondered what it would be like to time-travel back to L.A. 1983 and be thrown into a guitar-shaped swimming-pool by Mr. X's perverted chauffeur...? Well, here's yr chance. Don't listen to this in your basement.






Swineville Tour CDr Standard Edition (Fireworks Trotter)
...featuring the soon-to-be-legendary Swineville Anti-Concept Album or NoiseSong-Cycle - It's a bit like "Tommy" except everyone in it is deaf, dumb and blind - mind-mangling music that's a snip at (gasp) £3.00

Plus UK Postage (£1.50):
Plus Euro/US/Asia Postage (£2.00):








PAST EDITIONS:


"A Taste of..." - CDr An ideal jumping-on point for the curious: packed fulla oldies and newies that'll make your fingers tingle and set yr pancreas a-jumpin' w/ exciitement! Full of fabulous card inserts and eye-singing artwork, all packed in a hand-stitched green damask pouch with assorted beads, some hand-made, each one unique

oops! All gone... was £4.00 (but *sob* now SOLD OUT)


Swineville Special Edition - Schweinville (SOLD OUT)

Swineville Tour CDr (Ko-Crahki Kikt Pencil-case Edition) - this is Swineville, but with a German 1908 postcard, stickers, a Domincan Bat-Dancer Stamp and more unique, hand-painted inserts than you can shake a boom-boom at: this is a must-have for any fan of brain-damaged sub-underground Znnnng-Vrrrrrrzzzt.

Be the envy of your friends and neighbours - It's yours for £7.00 (sorry, SOLD OUT!)

The next Sonic Sanctuary gig will be on October 11th.
That's a Saturday.
All ages, £4


The Pump Room @ The Lamb, Trowbridge, BA14 8BN

WHITE HILLS


White Hills (Rocket Recordings) are a trio from Brooklyn, New York.
They formed out of the need to forge Space Rock into the 21st Century and with just the right blend of psychedelia and hypnotic grooves,
WHITE HILLS weaves in and out of anthemic chants, deep space bleeps and other worldly madness.



http://www. myspace. com/whitehills


GONGA


A high volume/low frequency sound of grindingly heavy doom & furious rock, gut-wrenching yet ponderous in a hypnotic way, the Brothers Gonga are now joined by Peter Theobalds (ex-Akercocke) on bass and Matt “Team Brick” Williams on vocals.
Still damaging eardrums with their fantastic stripped back, stoner blues rock, heavy biting riffs and primal drum beats, the true spirit of British heavy rock lives on in Gonga (Invada Records)



http://www. myspace. com/g0nga


CARICATURES


Caricatures, the newish project from members of Mea Culpa, Seerkind and Rose Kemp’s band are a heavy as heck doomy trio with tinges of Earth, Mastadon and Nirvana.


http://www. myspace. com/caricaturesband


CHIPPER


Armed with cello, laptop and a rather stunning voice, a rare solo performance from Chipper (aka Charlotte Nicholls, who among other things spends her time playing for bands such as Portishead, Crippled Black Phoenix, Oxbow, SJ Esau, Mea Culpa, North Sea Navigator and more- the list goes on...) is something not to be missed.
