Cloud Nothings
s/t

Group Tightener No Cat

7"
£6.99


Limited hand-numbered edition of 250 copies in white paper sleeves from the label that brought you the Best Coast Make You Mine 7”. Cloud Nothings play a particularly euphoric and addictive take on high-energy DIY, with aspects of gods of dunder like The Scrotum Poles/Swell Maps et al but with a more USA garage pop appeal. Recommended.

Super raw, but with stadium sized drums, the A-Side holds instrumental scuzz surf inspired Coasting? and the B-side holds Hot for Teacher.This 7-inch was recorded in a school cafeteria in the Bronx." - Group Tightener

High Wolf/Annapurna Illusion
Split

Group Tightener GT-08

LP
£10.99


New split LP that presents two complimentary sides of French tone scientist and occult minimalist High Wolf/Annapurna Illusion. The High Wolf side represents the apex of his recent form with a slow narcotic groove that’s fuzzy around the edges and that threads simple melodic tones into spaceway drones in a way that crosses Out There A Minute-period Sun Ra with early Kraut cosmonauts Harmonia/Cluster/Popol Vuh and a flat-lined minimalist approach that is as hypnotic as your favourite all-night flight. Annapurna Illusion have a heavier/fuzzier aspect to their eternal music, with aspects of Faust’s “Krautrock” accruing form and focus across endless passes through metal drones and vistas of crunch before Yod-style rhythms start to call the kitties home.
