(PHR-76) DEAD GUM - Lost Decade CDR

More like a concept album, "Lost Decay" is a really different approach at Dead Gum's music focusing on childhood nostalgia, appreciation of then-weird memories or half-remembered feelings. A blur, numb sound which balances through late-night bedroom minimalism and pure emotional introversion. Packaged in a super jewel case w/ monochromatic artwork + spray-painted discs. Limited to 50.

(PHR-75) Η ΜΑΝΑ ΣΟΥ ΕΙΝΑΙ Ο ΠΑΤΕΡΑΣ ΣΟΥ - Είσαι η Αδερφή Σου CDR

After a long delay we are psyched to announce a really unique collab between members of Placenta Popeye, Slicing Grandpa + Opera Mort. More specifically suspects are El-g, Jo Tanz, Patric Lombe + John Laux. A weird result with also weird titles + credits (in greek), a dark tale of psychic incest, deform + strangeland blues. Comes in 2 versions:

A) Hand-sewn 12-page zine (limited to 40 copies)

* sold out *

B) Regular CD-R version w/ pasted-on covers (limited to 60)

Last night's party

At OpenShowStudio was almost post-apocalyptic through mostly post-punk mash up mayhem + wasted dance moves. This week also features Adam_is' installation for the Vitrina Project, entitled "Black Sun". Drop by, any time.

(PHN-05) ΤΟ ΔΥΟ ΕΥΡΩ - Στο Ψαχνό MP3

Debut extended play from greek transvestite duo Το Δύο Ευρώ (pronounced as To Dio Evro). Recorded live, these are typical examples of the experimental nature of the project where they free improvise not only on music but on the lyrics, too.

The feeling of love

After a decade where bands used to search something unique for their sound there is this new wave of universal bands not using weird equipment nor puzzle their heads for 'new' song structures. They play rock and roll. Naked songs from naked hearts. Party never died.
