ttotals - annimal skkulls (3" cdr) 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!Available in a numbered edition of 60 hand stamped 3" cdrs. Cover design by Brian from the band. SOLD OUT from me. Contact the band for copies. ttotals-string of life by kimdawn
Cruudeuces -Strange Magic (3"cdr) Cruudeuces provide the perfect sound track for made up midnight rituals in your living room. This is the kind of creep-drone that feels absolutely perfect in its combination of warmth and darkness. This disc won my heart with its strangely caustic yet comforting sounds and I'm proud to present it to you. Catch them while you can and watch out for upcoming releases on Tape Drift and Wet Merchants.Presented in a numbered edition of 50 hand stamped 3" cdrs. SOLD OUT Cruudeuces-Highlight III by kimdawn
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. SOLD OUT snma by kimdawn
Sparkling Wide Pressure -Dreams by Water (3"cdr) Lost in the haze of summer recollections. Regaining connections. More experiments with a restricted palette. Presented in a numbered edition of 50 hand stamped 3" cdrs. $4 postage paid anywhere. SOLD OUT
Here's a little video I made for one of the tracks
Medroxy Progesterone Acetate -Durga on the Wings of Abomination (3" cdr) 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. Expect harsh, mind-penetrating tones and lots of subliminal whisperings. MPA has a unique vision that is always realized in precise detail. 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 Medroxy Progesterone Acetate -Durga on the Wings of Abomination (excerpt) by kimdawn
Geoffrey Sexton -Mountain Made of Clouds (3" cdr) With his first publicly available musical work, Geoffrey Sexton is quick to establish himself as a strong voice within the world of contemporary avant guard composers. Primarily working with bowed guitar, Sexton creates a sonic cloud out of dissonant tones and tension filled melody. Resolution is only hinted at... Presented in a numbered edition of 40 hand stamped 3" cdrs in a 4 page mini-booklet filled with Geoffrey's haunting photographs. $4 postage paid anywhere SOLD OUT Geoffrey Sexton -Mountain Made of Clouds (excerpt) by kimdawn
The Old Rig -Ghost Hats (3" cdr) Two keyboard mashers gear up with static scanning hats to see what they overhear. Pieces of conversation are lost inside a sea of churning synthetic whirl. Moments of calm are balanced by complete fuzz-outs. Space investigations of the other side. Presented in a numbered edition of 30 hand stamped 3" cdrs. $4 postage paid anywhere (SOLD OUT) The Old Rig -Ghost Hats (excerpt) by kimdawn
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. Visual Design by the artist. SOLD OUT
Scott Cloud -Infi Cycles (3" cdr) 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. It's an honor to work with Scott, his output never disappoints. Presented in a numbered edition of 50 hand stamped 3" cdrs. $4 postage page anywhere. SOLD OUT Scott Cloud -Direct Sunlight by kimdawn
