Violet
»Iron Music For Uncorrigated Youth« C20

Jeff Surak has been at it for years and years and years (yeah, he's OLD!) and it's pretty evident when you listen to his work, both the solo efforts as Violet and in a ridicilously long line of groups and one-off collaborations (including everyone from Dead Letters Spell Out Dead Words, Frans de Waard, Andrey Kiritchenko, Anderas Tilliander to Fransisco Lopez).

»Iron Music For Uncorrigated Youth« is a somewhat surreal experience. The A side basically finishes where it started, a prolonged drone that might appear static and looplike, but when closer examined reveal a universe of microscopic details and organic development. The B side is quite the opposite. While still firmly rooted in the drone, it manages to hold four distinctly different parts. What sounds like slowed down old records (it's actually Autoharp and tape loops, if anyone is keeping tabs) give way for oddly phrased field recordings, erratic rhythms and more of those weird drones. All in all »Iron Music For Uncorrigated Youth« is reminiscent of waking up in a pool of sweat from a fever induced dream. Not really scary but not quite pleasurable either. But still an experience you'd be sorry to have missed.

Limited edition of 23 copies. Sold Out. Copies may still be available from Zeromoon

Cutiefuck/Trite Meat
»Swastika Lollipop/They Are Diseases« C20

The sub-underground in Gothenburg is bustling with activity. It might be a reaction to all the happy-go-lucky, lets-hug- and-be-friends, hippy attitude that's run rampant on the "scene" for the past few years. There was bound to be a reaction. Cutiefuck might seem cuddly and fun, due to their healthy obsession with Sanrio in general and Hello Kitty in particular, but believe us when we say, that is far from the truth. Too lazy and/or stoned for harsh noise, their side of this cassette presents some fine slacker drummachine through guitar amp scum noise. We've been trying to get them to do a full-length but it has so far proven fruitless.

Whereas the drug of choice for CxFx is pot and 'shrooms, Trite Meat seem to go for benzo pills and rohypnol. Their side is a dark, menacing misery- (as opposed to joy-) ride through a collapsing psyche. Sonically that means an unholy mess of harsh noise, classic swedish industrial and the weirder side of black metal.

Limited edition of 30 copies on pink tape with two sided artwork. SOLD OUT.

Marhaug Bad Kharma
»Red Tape Rot 6« C20

This release manifests the reunion of the undynamic duo of Marhaug of Norway and Bad Kharma of Sweden. Their collaboration started out with the »Pink Polarbear?« 7" that was released in 1997 on Bonbon Records in an edition of 100 copies which sold out in no time.

The Red Tape Rot project was initiated back in 1999 when RS was spending an academic year in Trondheim which was LM's hometown at the time. The original plan was to record 10 cassette albums over the course of that year and have them released on different labels all over the NOISE globe. Each album was to sound different from the others or were based on a singular concept: full blast, only turntables, use a sony playstation as sound source, silence etc. After five albums were completed (of which the last one — the silent one — was never officially released) the duo got a bit tired and hungry and agreed on a lunch break. After lunch they decided to take a nap...

Now, after some 9 years or so they are back with the hope to complete the series before it's time to take a break for tea!

Artist Edition:
limited to 30 copies with an original drawing by BK and obi strip. SOLD OUT.

In it for the noise edition:
100 pro-duped, printed copies. AVAILABLE.

The [Law-Rah] Collective
»Touch Me I Am Sick« C20

The world's smallest collective abandoned its usual synthetic ambient and did a psychedelic drone noise cassette for us last fall. If you blinked you missed it.

Limited edition of 23 copies. SOLD OUT!

Various Artists
»Hometaping Is Killing Music« C50

Comps are such a pain in the ass. It's hard to get everyone who says they'll contribute to actually send in their material. It's hard to write about'em, because there's so much going on. This comp however is an eclectic mix of wall worship, drone, scum noise and retarded disco from the power trio Satan Power (Joachim Nordwall/John Olson/Lasse Marhaug), Dead Violets, Cutiefuck, The Men of California, Smells Like Gorilla Sex, Pleasure Girls and Sewer Election.

Limited edition of something like 50 copies. SOLD OUT.

#6

The Men of California
»Ring Of Fire« C30

Two looonng, static pieces of distorted drone goodness. The Men of California aren't actually from California, they are infact barely even men, but they still deliver abrassive walls of feedback drone core!

Limited edition of 15 copies. SOLD OUT!

#5

David Bremer
»Jazzgossen« C20

David Bremer is one half of swedish turntable noise legends DBHG and an avid collector of schlager music. On this (first?) solo release, he slaughters said record collection. The result? Hallucinatory to say the least.

Limited edition of 23 copies. SOLD OUT!

#4

King of Kings & Pleasuregirls
»Druid Fog« Onesided C40

Jam bands are by default an obomination. With that said, King Of Kings and Pleasuregirls team out for some psyched out, drone rock jamming and the result is magnificient. Both bands know everything about good riff economics, so they only use one on this rehearsal room recording. Perhaps not shit hot, soundwise, it's still a nice enough document of the session.

Limited edition of somewhere between 20 and 25 copies. Some copies came with handmade collages, and some had a piss poor recording of a K.O.K. rehersal on the B side. SOLD OUT!

#3

Thrift Shop Cunt
»Berlin Wallmart« C20

Full-on hyperspeed harsch noise from Washington D.C. TSC have been active for a few years but unlike most noise units they don't seem to release much. This cassette is actually a sort of best of collection culled from the handfull of release they've done in the past (2 CDrs, one cassette and one microcasssette)

Limited edition of 50 copies. SOLD OUT!

Ovum
»Kristina Axén Olin« Onesided C10

Anna Kristina Axén Olin (born October 21, 1962) is a Swedish Moderate Party politician and since 2006 the current Mayor of Stockholm. She also serves as deputy chairman of the party since 2003 and as chairman of the Stockholm County Police Authority. She is Stockholm's second female mayor. Kristina Axén Olin is also a song by Stockholm's destructo-punks Henry Fiat's Open Sore.

Ovum is Karl Midholm (born in 1976), a swedish droner that most people seem to have neglected, possibly due to his sporadic output these past few years. If you ever see him, ask him how the work on the 7" for Drone Records is coming along. Why he did a cover of a Henry Fiat's Open Sore track we'll never know. But it's good shit.

Limited edition of 5. SOLD OUT

#1

Dead Violets
»This Is Not Normal Music« C50

The first life-sign of Dead Violets and of this label. Perhaps not very strange since Dead Violets and Fukk Tapes Lets Erase are the same people. The A-side is an eclectic mix of full blast noise, drones and even the occasional melody. The B-side consists of a randomly generated noise collage, unique to each copy.

Limited edition of 10, all in individual collage cover. SOLD OUT
