(PHR-83) BIG BLOOD & THE WICKED HEX LP
A stunning new album including 5 long jams (23 minutes each side) which balance perfectly between the homey "Strange Maine" sound, the collage aesthetic of "The Grove" and the extraordinary singer/songwriter approach as heard on "Dead Songs". If it wasn't released by Phase!, it would certainly top a position in the 2011 TOP-13 albums!
Comes in an edition of 350 copies w/ 2-color awesome screenprinted jacket + insert.Here's the album's opening track, "Run", performed live in Thessaloniki:

(PHR-81) DJ MISTAKES - S/T 1-sided LP
“DJ mistakes are two exercise bicycle driven turntables fabricated and ridden by Casey Farnum and Elliot Hess. This project re-introduces spontaneity into the DJ experience and asks how production and industry have assembled to create a listening experience quite different from the hand-cranked turntables it was initially borne from. With a shrug to the practice of crystallizing performances and their reception through vinyl and the audiophile entertainment- center this project re-introduces human touch into the listening experience. It looks back nostalgically to a time when gears and bicycles were the stuff of aural and physical revolutions. Yet it also seeks a contemporary framework in the DJ era where cutting and mixing revolutionized production making it both unpredictable and live. Bikes, turntables, gongs, a mixer, records, and a microphone all mash in this recording live from the Chicken Hut and 1086 Broadway, Brooklyn NY 2006-7.” Phil Schapp, 2011
Limited numbered edition of 200 copies on 1-sided 12”LP, offset covers on metallic paper + inners.Here's a wicked DJ Mistakes performance at the University of Iowa:
