Skullorian - Kozmosz Punci (5"cdr)
German sound sculptor Skullorian is making a name for himself as both an avid collector of obscure sounds and an innovative sonic alchemist. Kozmosz Punci is one of his finest bits of psychedelic re-contextualization yet combining elements of 70's funk, cosmic drones, and unclassifiable abstract sounds into a stew that is totally strange and yet somehow "right". Presented in a numbered edition of 50 hand stamped cdrs. $6 postage paid anywhere.

Impossible to define, this is music between moments of attention. Getting swept away in spurts of half remembered dialog and pure surreal juxtaposition.

Trabajo - Slow Pageant EP (3" cdr)
A tightly woven panic, a heartfelt flutter. TJ Richards and Yuchen Lin make up this NYC duo of frenetic pulse and song. Each track is full of carefully paced frenzy- with nods to the no-wave freaks and pajama punks of yesteryear==== This is the new school of dread wave slumber parties.

Summons of Shining Ruins - Ansan Vesper (3"cdr)
Shinobu Nemoto has been crafting masterful sequences of melodic ethereal noise for some time now. If he hasn't managed to find his way into your heart yet, this is the perfect introduction. His love of tape manipulation and minimal guitar work puts him in the same realm as peers like Xiphiidae and Thoughts on Air, but Shinobu's sound is all his own.

my3yeah (3"cdr)
Argentinian band my3yeah are creating a kind of psychedelic music that touches the core of what the genre seems to really be getting at. Bands like Faust and Tangerine Dream come to mind when I listen to this music- not because of any particular stylistic similarity but because of the core spirit of journeying that they share. This disc will transport. Half alien consciousness or the inner U.F.O. seems to be what I'm linking up to. Find your own way. Artwork by Painstasis.

Froe Char - Panegyric (3" cdr)
I'm completely dazzled and in love with the darkly blissful music of Froe Char.

She pulls it off with an effortless quality that will have you in the palm of her hand. Artwork by the artist and F. Baugh. Presented in a numbered edition of 50 hand stamped 3" cdrs.

Fossils from the Sun - Lights (3"cdr)
Ray Hare, one half of the psych duo, Century Plants, brings us one of his most intense performances yet. Presented here in two distinct versions (one in studio and one live), Lights is a piece of utter sonic paranoia. Ray's voice rants in a cold sweat over distant drips of acrid electronics. The feeling created is one of confusion, and isolation- all the lights are going out and we're left to wonder why. Troubling and unforgettable. Presented in a numbered edition of 50 hand stamped 3" cdrs. Sold Out.

Sensible Nectar - Videodream (3"cdr)
Justin Marc Lloyd welcomes us into his world of seeming contradictions. Charred blasts of noise and oversaturated sound serve as bookends for one of the most beautiful washes of blissful melody imaginable. Sensible Nectar pushes us through a tortured reflection of life only to glimpse paradise for an instance and then back through the rubble that birthed us. Terrifying and beautiful.

Julia brings us closer to the heart of the mystery. At times she is almost soothing, but more often she is completely inside this stuttering machine. Her voice is one that reflects a certain isolation nestled in the very heart of seeming connectivity. Unmoving hum meets the fragile identity. Hard to ignore.

Archers by the Sea - They All Dreamt They Were Bears (3" cdr)
The mysterious and illuminating "V" returns with one of his finest works as Archers by the Sea. Here he expertly crafts a iridescent balloon of sound, so beautiful and full that it feels like it's going to envelop everything. It's so easy to get completely lost in this world. The sounds are utterly captivating and strangely comforting. To me, this is pretty close to perfection. SOLD OUT

Inhibitionists - Pfeiffer at the Gates of Hawn (3" cdr)
These are abstracted tonal mazes provided by Denmark's strangest sonic alchemist, Inhibitionists (aka Christian Kann from A Beard of Snails fame). Expertly crafted pathways of textural complexity give way to reveal a moist core. It's a dream vacation on darker pathways- lanterns not provided. Weird nods to 60's psych and pop actresses give no immediate answers as this music exists on another plane entirely -where going to the movies is like washing your face with wet cement.

This one has been in the works for a while, and I'm very excited to finally be able to unleash this magic on the world. Ttotals are a duo from Nashville, TN creating some of the finest new psychedelic rock music around. This is their debut statement and it contains four beautiful songs built around minimal riffs and pounding drums. They might pay tribute to some of the old greats, but this sound is all their own. I am inspired by what these guys are doing and I hope this reaches some receptive ears. Half of these are going to be with the band at shows, so catch them while you can!

snma -Glow Bleg Maze (3"cdr)
This is a big time squiggle fest from former TN resident Jay Schleidt (current man behind the massive noisearchive.org/darbolistic rex label). As snma, Jay gives you no ground to stand on as he leads you throw the bleg maze. Lots of negative space and a strong singular vision makes this stand out from the current noise crowd and feel more like a work of sound art from another era. There is still plenty of blown out scuzz, but it's paced and spaced in a mode totally unique to itself. Confusing in a delightful fashion. Presented in a numbered edition of 50 hand stamped 3" cdrs.

It's a privilege to work with a visionary artist such as MPA. If you haven't checked out one of his releases before, you're in for a treat.

On this occasion MPA is joined by April Larson and the Dawgranch Children's Choir on vocals. Presented in a numbered edition of 50 hand stamped 3" cdrs. Manipulated photo by the artist. SOLD OUT

Eagle Altar -The Life of Bridgette Driscoll (3" cdr)
Eagle Altar is the abstracted, untied and loosened version of Altar Eagle- the collaborative project of Eden Hemming and Brad Rose (see Digitalis, The North Sea, Corsican Paintbrush, Ajilvsga, etc...). "The Life of Bridgette Driscoll" finds the pair working over their particular blend of post synth-pop in an especially melancholic and introspective manner. Sheets of distorted drone collide with sweet melodies and a robotic drum loop to create a mood of contemplation. This ode to the somewhat obscure Bridgette Driscoll effectively brings up a certain mournfulness without ever sounding like a dirge. It's a unique signpost on the journey of this incredible duo. Presented in a numbered edition of 50 hand scrawled 3" cdrs. SOLD OUT

Pink Priest -Goddess (3" cdr)
Pink Priest returns to kimdawn with another gem. This time, the Priest is summoning the spirits of love and loneliness, forming them into a three part journey through the human spirit. Through abstraction, the artist is able to go beyond mere sentimentality and touch on the deeper experiences of these feelings. There is a particular yearning that feels somehow whole. It's a mysterious and brief journey that leaves you feeling opened up. One of the best from Pink Priest for sure. Presented in a numbered edition of 50 hand stamped 3" cdrs.

Scott Cloud is the ephemeral persona of one of Canada's finest underground sound artists. With "Infi Cycles", Cloud presents us with another chapter of his unfolding drone saga- one populated with precise hypnotic waves of static and hum. The sound sculptures that are created are ominous yet strangely comforting- blankets of sound covering the false realities of this world.

I'm so excited to be able to release something by Mossy Throats, and this disc is undoubtedly one of the best things I've heard from him. If you haven't fallen into the Mossy Throat void yet, then you're in for a real treat. Dan Dlugosielski has a unique touch for creating bizarre soundscapes from discarded fragments of sound. VHS Hallucination is a journey inside the void of ancient VHS fuzz. Spending an hour staring at the lines of static, and just as patterns begin to form and take on recognizable shapes, it's over...

Eric Hardiman might be better known for his work in the psych guitar duet Century Plants, but it is in his guise as Rambutan where he is really free to stretch out into uncharted territory. This release sees Rambutan at his most minimal and focused. Things start off with a line made of sound, piercing into the listener's brain like a needle and then transforming into a shaking, bubling grind.

This is Communication -(Self Titled 3"cdr)
After hearing clips from Jeremy Walker's recent performances and watching a video of him demonstrating his home made oscillotrope, I was expecting him to deliver a blast of harsh noise to me. Instead, I was pleasantly surprised when he invited me over to hear his new project- This is Communication, which has a lot more in common with "Slanted and Enchanted" and "Loveless" than Merzbow. The home made noise makers are still present, but now they are being mixed with guitars, drums and vocals to create a unique drone-pop blend that is equal parts pure texture and sentimental pop melody. Signals converge and form songs, only to be deconstructed again into fragments of ideas and half finished sentences in the end. Presented on a 3" cdr in a hand numbered edition of 50.

Five members of this nebulous sound tribe came together to attempt to score a film.

Pink Priest -Cold Rock (3" cdr)
It seems that Pink Priest is finally starting to get the recognition he deserves and this disc is another great example of why . The four tracks on this disc offer a brief glimpse into a soundworld built upon subtle, almost unmoving, melodies and textural backdrops. A sense of calm introspection and quiet sadness looms in the background of each of these co-mingling tracks of shimmering beauty. It is an honor to present a work from such a sensitive sound artist. This is definitely one to pay attention to. Presented on a 3" cdr in a hand numbered edition of 50. Visual design by the artist.

Sparkling Wide Pressure
-Golden Thread (3" cdr)
My friend Blake Barton gave me a tape a few months back which contained strange recordings of clanging drums, broken electronic sounds, half murmured chants, and other esoterica. The intent was for me to use these raw recordings to craft something new. The process was a strange one that evolved very organically and quickly- almost feeling like I was being guided by the tape itself. The result is a bizarre tribal trip into fields of tape hiss. Artwork also by Mr. Barton. Presented on a 3" cdr in an edition of 45.

Sparkling Wide Pressure
-Time Travel Melody(3" cdr)
I have a strange memory of standing on the back bumper of my Dad's pickup truck when I was four or five years old singing this melody that seemed to come out of nowhere. It stuck with me as a representation of a feeling of complete freedom and joy. Later, I revisited the melody in a teenage post-punk band- and now, 10 years after that occurrence, the melody returns again to further transport me. It has been filtered through my current state and barely resembles its original form, but the essence is still there. A kind of temporal bookmark.
