   About The Fountain
If you want to know more you have to buy the records and listen to the music. The girl voice is Maria. Despite the exterior she's actually very sensitive. Too sensitive. The boy voice is Ted. He appears to be quiet but deep down inside he's thinking. The other boy voice that accompanies drums is Alan. He's out partying with his friends but he knows what life is about. A lot more than you.

The Fountain have recently recorded many many songs the first batch are bundled here in the Basement EP.

"...I challenge anyone to listen to “In My Brain I Can Hide” and not walk around singing the bloody thing for five hours afterwards..."
Whisperin and Hollerin

"...if you can imagine a female David Byrne duelling with Stephen Malkmus whilst Wire and The Fall have a Krautrock party...one of Manchester's most exciting underground bands..." Cath Aubergine, Manchestermusic.co.uk

"Very, very clever people who can play very, very quickly and very, very smartly. Very, very clever people who can take the piss out of Kate Bush, the entire punk thing and spare the time to slap down some riffs made from barbed wire whips" Review of "Fat Tax", Unpeeled.co.uk

Bridget Hayden CDR (ROWF16) out now

Recorded at The Bowling Green pub in Manchester on 17th November 2008, when Bridget was on tour with Marcia Bassett, this is a maximal 25-minute set of epic guitar brutalising and deep, moaned vocal incantations. Employing a bow and 'metal' effects pedals, the resulting cacophony is orchestral in scope, rendering almost unreliable the memory of one woman and her instrument. Somewhat akin to Bassett's duo with Matthew Bower, Hototogisu, the deeply layered tones created by Hayden offer, upon first exposure, a somewhat icy auditory experience, but as the recording settles in, the richness and sheer breadth of sound wraps around you like a feather quilt and shifts your perception almost 180 degrees. A truly magnificent set from this former Vibracathedral Orchestra member.

Limited to 80 copies with sleeves printed on recycled paper using soya based ink

Pay by Paypal to goldenlabrecordings@hotmail.co.uk

£5.99 (UK)

£6.99 (Europe)

Hold on to your meat racks pop socks its a beat boogie noise racket! Fire up the petrol membranes for a holy fireball and step up the booze grade moves yes/no/go cat. A singular sabbath to be spent. Woof woof says the Admiral and you cant argue with that not since Dylan went metric. 'Testify' sinister billboards lament but there's no room for Judge Moody here.

'From the deepest, darkest depths of South Wales, The Graveyard Johnnys have devised a recipe that somehow transforms something stale into something fresh.

Bored to death by bands sounding and looking like something from 50 years ago, The Johnnys are digging up that rotten old corpse, slappin it around a bit and injecting it with some life so it can survive in the 21st century

In this band there is absolutely no bullshit, just straight up, balls out, good time rock and fucking roll.

OUT NOW

The Hunter Gracchus Companions of the Porch CD-R

We've never been able to quite pin down exactly how the The Hunter Gracchus are going to play on any given occasion, 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.

Ltd to 80 copies, sleeves printed on recycled card w/soya based ink, no less

£5.
