Family LSD/Rura-Pente
Split

Foxglove 072

CD-R
£5.99


New split CD-R features a bunch of heavy avant-garage moves from one of the most gloriously fucked and aesthetically stupe modern punk-primitives, Family LSD. They actually sound a bit more Hawkwind on this on – undoubtedly down to the presence of David ‘Hawkwind’ on drums – but anyone who enjoys seeing a single chord being pounded all the way over the horizon oughta enjoy the scenery. Comes with two tracks from Rura-Pente a secret underground supergroup featuring Kris Abplanalp of Virgin Eye Blood Brothers/Sapat et al, John Mulhausen and Brad Rose of Foxy Digitalis. Both tracks match up-front Can-style drums with alien guitar and heart-rending titles like “Lack Of Lubrication” and “Catholic School Girls”. Hand-numbered edition of only 100 copies in art paper sleeve.

Hotem
Live @ Illokivi

Foxglove 084

CD-R
£5.99


New Keijo-related big-band yowl featuring VT fave, Mr. Virtanen, on 1-string, bells, bowl, guitar, Jew’s harp, mouth-harp, pipe and throat alongside Sami Virtanen, Jamo Saarti and Jarkko Kaunism. Closer to free improvisation than a lot of Keijo’s previous work, especially Saarti’s drum playing, this one crosses Keijo’s deep teeth/fibre drone work with fast, flashing improv moves and high, lonesome, almost-Nico/Galas-style atmospherics in a manner that is deeply satisfying.

Ghosting
Fox Glove

Foxglove #143

CD-R
£6.99


New limited to 100 copies release from this evocative west coast trio, with a heavy Industrial/ritual feel that's reminiscent of MEV circa Leave The City and early Double Leopards: "The seismic ripples that Ghostings drones are sending through the rose city are taking flight and planting seeds all over the globe. This group of sonic harbingers haunt the cracks and crevices of a world that seemingly only exists deep under water where life is a barely-there flicker amongst the murk. But Ghosting's haunted aural landscapes are a beacon, like a lighthouse sunk below miles of the icy ocean, offering a glimmer of warmth in hostile waters. This trio continues its journey through the fuzz and static, and once again emerges with wings unscathed and silver skin." - Digitalis.

Rory Storm
ZstarshipZ

Foxglove 136

CD-R
£5.99


"Rory Storm makes his stateside debut with an album full of charred drones and moon songs of highest order. "ZstarshipZ" looks on from its celestial perch like a wise wizard, enchanting the world below with the blink of an eye. Solar broadcasts that emerge from the earth's core, whirl around in all their electric-field glory before crashing to the ground like a comet-fuelled rocket. This is dense like a black hole, but burns as bright as a supernova. Rory Storm conjures up music that is painfully beautiful. It doesn't get much better than this." - FD. Edition of 100 copies.
