Limited edition of 500 copies of a duo studio session between Monotract/No Fun electro-yob Carlos Giffoni and Lasse Marhaug of Jazzkammer/Nash Kontrol et al. Fuzzy, intensely-compacted blocks of noise give way to pounding Industrial electro rhythms and fireflies of cracked electrics in a way that is satisfyingly stupe.

LSD-March
Big Jar Solo Sets

Archive DVD-2

DVD
£12.99


DVD set that compiles three solo sets - one each from LSD frontman Shinsuke Michishita, ex-Fushitsusha/Kousokuya drummer Ikuro Takahashi and ex-Broomdusters/Miminokoto frontman Masami Kawaguchi - recorded live at the Big Jar bookstore in Philadelphia in Autumn of 2006. All filmed in black and white and real close up, Michishita's set combines velvet balladry with explosions of wasted acid guitar while Takahashi presents one of his oscillator performances where he strings a series of alarms along a microphone stand and generates a constantly shifting assaultive field of surging overtones. Kawaguchi's set is the best of the bunch, with his amazing, languorous vocal style gobbling up classic Japanese acid folk chords and luminous lead guitar scorch. The release comes packaged in a half fold heavy stock cover with a pressing size of 550 copies with design and silkscreen work by Jason Killinger from Birds of Maya.

Suishou No Fune
Jam Session At Lemur House

Archive DVD-6

DVD
£11.99


Great new DVD set from this classic Japanese underground black psych outfit. This one bundles three distinct sessions, a live set at the Big Jar bookstore in Philadelphia, another gig at The Tank in NYC and a “Creamy Jam” at Bardo Pond’s Lemur House space featuring various Bardo heads as well as local legend/Jack Rose collaborator Harmonica Dan. The set runs to an hour all-in and the sound is fucking great. Pirako and Kageo totally look the part, all in black with shades and waste-length hair, and their take on the Japanese psych sound is choice, amplifying the smog of reverb and the endless F/X dazzled lead guitar to the point of oblivion and this is another totally enthralling chapter. Comes housed in a large four panel foldout cover slipped inside a custom sized 10mil PVC sleeve. Edition of 600 copies.
