PRESS The Stranger's "Band of the Week"

Take a few minutes of your day to check out this weeks Band of the Week, Joy Wants Eternity. Their songs are lush, atmospheric soundscapes reminiscent of Mogwais more beautiful and melodic moments. But they also obviously find inspiration in My Bloody Valentine.

Decoymusic.com review of "must you smash your ears..."

"...The EP is astounding, the title seems to invite you to interpret the music visually... Nonetheless I did try to imagine what could be happening and, to me, the music conjured up the scene from Bambi where his mother dies. Except instead of being shot shes hit by a jumbo-jet, oh and it was all in space. 4/5"

"Must You Smash Your Ears Before You Learn to Listen With Your Eyes" is a chilling recounting of everything that is going right in the post-rock world.


THE STRANGER (link to review)

"...Their ambient sound unfurls comfortably, layering keyboard melodies over amber guitar riffs and astral drones, similar to Kinski's lighter moments or Slowdive's wordless sprawls...."


THREE IMAGINARY GIRLS (link to review)

"Epic, cinematic, dynamic and a bunch of other -ics, but never icky. Highly recommended." --


TINY MIX TAPES (link to review)

"...The positives definitely outweigh the negatives on Joy Wants Eternity's debut performance. The band is able to tell a good story using only music and a vision. The album, for the most part, is as cohesive as anything you'll pick up in the bins of your local record establishment. There's a passion exuding from each and every one of these songs, making it impossible not to be infected with JWE's spirit and vigor...."

King Tut - PREORDER THE GRISTLEIZER NOW!





Jul 10 2009 6:06 PM

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.  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!

<3 mark

PS: Oh yeah, we've got some new songs up now.

I realized something! I read this the other day "...But all joy wants eternity-/Wants deep, wants deep eternity!" So does the name come from Nietzsche, or am I mistaken?
