DEAD VOICES ON AIR - Fast Falls The Eventide
Fast Falls The Eventide is the new 2-CD set from Dead Voices On Air featuring the all new recording Fast Falls The Eventide and the long out of print first release by Dead Voices On Air - Abrader - featuring two previously unreleased tracks featuring cEvin Key.


RICHARD SANDERSON and MARK SPYBEY - The Setland L.P.
Richard and Mark have been friends for nearly 40 years and have collaborated together episodically. One such episode took place in London in 1992, shortly before Spybey moved to Canada. The Setland L.P. is a teasing insight into the work that they have done together over the years that, until now, has remained unreleased.


BEEHATCH - Bratislava
This release is a great document of the 2008 European Tour and especially that evening at The Sub Club in Bratislava, Slovakia. Beehatch - Bratislava includes the full evenings performance in high-quality mp3 format, 45+ minutes of video footage, 50+ images including photos, flyers, tour memorabilia and recollections from the band.


MISS AUTOPSY - Caterpillar
"When Beyerink gets it right the results are often gripping, immediate, and incendiary in a way that few other performers can approach. The breathlessly sociopathic “Dead Loner Blues” and the nakedly cathartic crescendo of “Caterpillar” stand out as especially stunning in an already impressive batch of songs." - Brainwashed.com


MR RUSSIA - Training for the Gameshow Host
The Chicago fourpiece challenged conventional wisdom by releasing there new ep Training for the Gameshow Host for download one hundred percent free, exclusively via MRRUSSIA.NET. No strings attached, totally, completely free, no mailing lists sign up, no catches, no gimmicks, just free!


SIMON WHETHAM - Quiet Please
Peckham Library - London, England. A distinctive structure with copper panel-covered walls, multi-colored glazing and a huge four story overhand. Simon captured the sounds of everyday existance in this building then manipulated them and created a unique and engaging sonic blueprint of life in and around the library. A library that is anything but quiet!


DELICATE NOISE - Filmezza
Delicate Noise returns with their second CD - Filmezza - an honest, optimistic and weighted electronica record. The album unfolds like the telling of a dream - warm and sentimental songs wash in and out with lullaby-like melodies, augmented with disembodied voices of children playing.


ENCOMIAST - 139 Nevada
139 Nevada consists of two discs - Encomiast‘s “Masked Mirror” and "Slam Your Doors In Golden Silence" by The Copper Thieves, a coalition including members of Encomiast and the group Mandible Chatter. Both collections mine the rich sonic bed of the Belvidere Theatre - located at 139 Nevada, Central City, CO - but each one takes its own clear path.


RAPOON - Dark Rivers
Dark Rivers is the sonic exploration and reflection of a particular stretch of landscape in the north of England. This is the home of Rapoon’s Robin Storey and it is an essential part of who he is. With Dark Rivers, Robin Storey has created another masterpiece in his collection of essential artistic achievements and ever-evolving musical vocabulary.


THE DIVISION - Mantras
Matthew Schultz (Lab Report, Pigface) has unveiled his newest endeavor, The Division. This sound project is a reconstruction of ancient spells and rituals reinterpreted aurally by one of the leading dark ambient artists of our time. With this newest disc Mantras, Schultz has delved into the esoteric and ancient fraternal order of The Division.


MR RUSSIA - Teething
MR RUSSIA is a combo of relentless rhythm, solid bass lines and cocky vocals one could describe as the bastard offspring of Iggy Pop and The White Stripes. With a brash, tactless sound all their own, the Chicago fourpiece welcomes easy comparisons to Shellac and Death from Above 1979, as well as drawing influences from hard-to-pinpoint sources such as XTC and Magazine.


BEEHATCH - Brood
Their self-titled debut was hailed as a "killer" capable of "surpassing all trends and musical phases" and a "totally wonderful aural experience." Not surprisingly, Brood refines the "fully fledged sonic odyssey" of their debut and presents 11 tracks that see the band continuing to expand, explore and experiment with their unique fingerprint.


MISS AUTOPSY - The Hill
Their 3rd release - a sound culled from acoustic and electric guitars, stripped down drum beats & tense Americana blues vocals. Engineered and produced by Grammy nominated producer/engineer/mixer John Congleton (Explosions In The Sky, Polyphonic Spree, 90 Day Men).


EMULSION - Blue Sky Remixes
Is a collection of remixings of Emulsion’s highly acclaimed CD Blue Sky Objective by Caural (Mush, Chocolate Industries, Consumers Research & Development), Strategy (Kranky, ORAC, Community Library), Isan (Morr Music, Darla), Outputmessage (Ghostly, Melodic, Echelon) and Bovaflux (Highpoint Lowlife).


ROBERT SCOTT THOMPSON - Poesis Athesis
Robert Scott Thompson's debut release for Lens Records is compiled from over 10 hours of music composed by Thompson over a two year period. With Poesis Athesis, Thompson has created a work that spawns from his past while moving into newer creative explorations of sound and mind.


BEEHATCH - Beehatch
BEEHATCH is the new project from Phil Western (Download, platEAU, Kone, Frozen Rabbit) and Mark Spybey (Dead Voices On Air, Reformed Faction, Zoviet*France, Download), who met in Vancouver, whilst playing together in Download. Ten years have elapsed since they last worked together.


AVAGAMI - Metagami
Avagami's debut album is welcome shock-treatment for an increasingly homogenized indie-brain. 'Metagami' displays a controlled balance between the recognizable & the uncharted. An abundance of idiosyncratic lyrical content is elaborately couched in lush, preternatural layers of luscious synth-pop, vital & explosive percussion, & artful parallaxes of saxaphone - real and otherwise.
