   Young God Records: General Info
Member Since1/23/2007
Band Websiteyounggodrecords.com
Band MembersYoung God Records was originally formed by Michael Gira in 1990 to facilitate the release of SWANS music (1982-1997), and now includes a wide variety of other music as well, both by Gira and a growing roster of unique artists. Focus is on highly personalized, and emphatically original, non genre-specific songwriting, orphaned soundtracks, and experimental music. The label does not focus on the commerciality of its music (though we certainly don't mind selling records), but rather looks for music of genuine passion, originality and personal commitment, regardless of “style”.
We feel that if the music meets these criteria it will naturally, with hard work, find an audience. In our business practices, we keep things very simple and straightforward, and we want as little as to do with the “Music Industry” per se as possible. We are an extremely small and compact organization, but we view this as one of our main strengths. We expend 100% of our energy and resources on everything we release. Our approach is adamantly DIY, and we have no interest in expanding beyond our means. Wherever possible we develop a personal friendship and rapport with our artists, and we view each release as a completely mutual collaboration. To our delight, we've recently had considerable success, as a result, with Akron/Family, Devendra Banhart, Lisa Germano, Mi and L'au and others...

I find your eyes to be a wondrous amusement park filled with neo-plastic pleasures and turkish delights. Your layers of absinthe and torsion form concretions of hyper-alimentation. Your eyes are like spheres of crystal water filled with shimmering dreams. You have not yet reached the height of your creativity. If I could have just one wish, it would be to wake up to your songs in the morning. Your reflections bring happiness that rends naked glass. All my thoughts are lost to your graceful gaze? I relentlessly desire cotton candy lollipops. What wonderful vibrations you are capable of. May you always have stables of horses to service your needs. A starfish's lifelong hallucinations of gelatin pools and of actuaries floating upon the foam and reciprocal ohm. Polished rock candy comes ever to mind when thinking of you. Please let me hear more of that wonderful sound. I love your eyes, I know they can stare through my thoughts. In your presence even my shadow acquires the sensation of touch.

Out now on He Of The House Media

HOTHCOMP001
We'll Leave the Lights On


He Of The House's very first (of many) compilation. Nineteen tracks from twenty artists, the end result of which is possibly one of the most diverse compilations I've ever heard. From soft spoken acoustic folk to raving, churning dirge tunes; from a noisy, industrial cover of a Sonic Youth song to oldschool punk from when it was still raw, fast, and unforgiving. Powerviolence peppers the grounds where spooked whispers whinny along, and the caustic words of a madman festering in his own mind play out over perpetually plucked guitar strings. A true honour it is to work with these amazing artists, and I do hope we can keep them coming back for years.

Featuring: Zombie Battle Axe, xHaroldShitmanx, Kro & Jason "EVIL" Covelli, Nemesism, Ginny Greenteeth, Don't Move, Spiral Vertigo, Chachi On Acid, Mike Bruno, Autopia, Dead Kid Harvester, Jason "EVIL" Covelli, Karmakumulator, Chelsea Wolfe, RedSK vs. teh soup rebellion, Torturing Nurse, Sleepers, Flea McGruff

Housed in handmade & handpainted paper jackets with individually original black tissue cutouts, enclosed with a button. Featuring full page insert artwork by Jason "EVIL" Covelli and a blurb about each band/artist from myself.
Limited to 45 handnumbered copies.

For more information, tracklisting, artwork, and information on future compilations, as well as a wealth of other fun tidbits, visit
heofthehouse.com

To order this compilation for only $8 (prices vary for out of country shipping), visit
