First ever collaboration between these two international electro-thug psych units. Recorded live and in the studio in New Zealand, it features two long tracks with Campbell Kneale on guitar, electronics and "harsh noise", Pete Swanson on electronics and vocals and GMS on guitar and electronics. First track moves from irresistible swells of tar-thick electronics to classic death/doom iconoclasm with deep bass runs that are as epic as your favourite block-busting Japanese guitarist. Second track is a torrent of pained electricity, tortured circuitry, lung-scraping vocals and power electronics that feel extremely tactile cut-up with Fushitsusha/Haino-esque brain-searing power blues. Sounds great.

Turbulent new split single from Robedoor and Yellow Swans with two sides of disobedient psychedelic ritual scored for orchestras of narcoleptic machines. Robedoor generate a particularly smoky modal trance while Yellow Swans are in full wipe-out white noise style. Edition of 500 copies with printed labels and silkscreened art by Shawn Reed of Raccoo-oo-oon.

“Originally released in 2005 as a limited edition CD-R on Yellow Swans' JYRK label, this three-way collab now gets a proper run on wax. Recorded in Oakland at the Huffin House before the Swans made the retreat back to Portland. Despite the weight of these players when they rock alone, this jam really never gets into full on white out territory. Instead, it's loaded to the brim with wavy neon distortion and soothing low end that occasional drops out into huge washes of emptiness. The opening passage of GMS guitar flecks sympathizing with Karl's string wash is alone worth the price of admission. Red vinyl with lime green splatter.” – RS. Cover art by Liz Harris (Grouper)

Fantastic new solo album from Peter Swanson, ex of Yellow Swans. This CD is an edition of 350 copies and is only 'officially' available as a bonus disc with direct mail order editions of Three Lobed's recent massive Not The Spaces You Know vinyl box set as a “mystery artist” release. If you've picked up on the last few Swanson solo releases you'll know that he is at the top of his game right now and I Don't Rock At All pushes further in the direction of euphoric solo fuzz guitar epics that mirror aspects of Keiji Haino/Fushitsusha while giving the nod to the heavenly distort-pop of MBV and even Bardo Pond. There's something orchestral in the arcs of almost classical melody that Swanson bases his freak form around, with huge Valkyrie choruses smeared by F/X, and he has a way of wrestling single string solos from his guitar that feel as universally potent as anything from the hands of Manuel Gottsching. I Don't Rock At All is classic solo guitar album, highly recommended.
