SOUNDS FROM THE POCKET homemade handmade diy label operating out of stone mountain ga, from Phoebus Va, is home to the completely totally great A-1 A-OK bees knees FOUND SOUND compilation series. SFTP is also the originator of the MICROCASSETTOR compilation series, in which all audio is taken from microcassette tapes, which has changed the language in certain sectors. SFTP loves Un-Pop, Difficult, Not-Cute, Go-Go Space Core, Nigerian Scam-Rock and many other unheard of genres of music. Run entirely by one man, who is not and can never be a trustafarian, all because he knows he must, he learned how to Must. Said person is also the curator of FREEDUMB FEST yearly celebration of idiocy, with such great guys as SUNBURNED HAND OF THE MAN and MICK FLOWER performing and having a good memorable time. SFTP is so busy releasing units of product that it doesnt have time to bother with promotions, reviews, magazines, or otherwise lame ass hype. except the occasional press release. that means word of mouth ya'll. artists might include DRUMS LIKE MACHINE GUNS, REYNOLS, COURTIS, TORE BØE, NO-FI, 36, TEMPLE OF BON MATIN, MUGU GUYMEN, BIG CITY ORCHESTRA, MAGIK MARKERS, YELLOW CRYSTAL STAR, YAKUZA DANCE MOB, SOCIAL JUNK and Allah knows more.

SIGHTS FOR TOMORROWS PEOPLE
We've never been able to quite pin down exactly what it is that The Hunter Gracchus do, which is a wonderful thing. A shifting unit with Syed Kamran Ali, Fiona Marshall and Jon Marshall at the core, they have recently settled into a fairly stable unit of six, but it's hard to know how long that'll last. Still, while it does, it's producing all manner of magical and highly unexpected performances. The one captured here was recorded at the band's practice room cum gig space, Fagin's Hideout/The Furniture Makers and is a less blistering freakout than some of their recent output, preferring to quietly explore every nook of tonal space. It simmers rather than erupts and, the longer you become immersed in it, the less aware you become of the passage of time. It's a recording that feels like it should go on forever and, when it does come to a close, the silence is shocking. In a time when it's all too easy for a group of improvisers to just go full-tilt in some euphoric pursuit, the Hunter Gracchus provides us with a glowing alternative that draws us slowly in and drowns our senses. This is truly awesome.
Peeesseye I Woke Up and Drank a Bottle of Cheap Kojak CDR
Peeesseye made the scene at Dylan Nyoukis's Colour Out of Space festival last summer and hopped over to Manchester to play a show at the Town Hall Tavern, the recording of which forms the content of this incredible slab of dense droning harmonium, scraping, buzzing, subtly soloing guitar and pulse-free, scatter-drumming. We can't recommend this enough. Limited to 80 copies.
PS, Cool to be here in your sonic playground with you and your masterfully noisy pals. We hope you enjoyed one of our tunes. Cheers & Welcome from The Dog
This beautiful super-heavyweight LP, which comes packaged in a sweet full-colour sleeve reunites the UK's premier free drummer Alex Neilson, who's played, amongst others, with Motor Ghost, Directing Hand, Trembling Bells, Tight Meat Duo, Josephine Foster, Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, Jandek, MV&EE, Richard Youngs, Baby Dee and Alastair Galbraith, with Nmperign member Greg Kelley, whose reinvention of the trumpet is as crucial now as Anthony Braxton's reinvention of the sax was 30 years ago. A screeching, soaring, scattergun array of noises come maniacally out of Greg's horn, unlike anything we've ever heard and, with the addition of random stabs of electronics, he successfully straddles no wave, concrete and free jazz in a way that makes those genres seem like trite pigeonholes.
