(PHR-93) HAMMER OF HATHOR - Saw Isosceles C40

A fine packer of a lost LP by United Staters, Hammer of Hathor, a boy-girl duo of many faces + talents. They mainly shred guitar and bang drumskins on this one in a very primitive way and we-don't-care attitude. The result not only flirts w/ atonal punk and heavy jam energy but repeatedly fucks w/ the brain of the non-music listener. The unconventional way of instrument approach amplifies a universe of electrical guts purely captured with analog and monophonic equipment.
Edition of 50 copies w/ glossy color j-cards and electrique-blue tapes. 6.00 euros ppd everywhere, order at phasejunk.com.

A 'Saw Isosceles' teaser:

(PHR-92) WHAM JAH - Heads CDR

A powerful jam burner -identical of the recent Wham Jah shows- divided into four chapters. Free-form instant song-making drowned in a noise/jazz reverb valley full of zombie ravers. Prequel to the forthcoming full-length and the split LP w/ Balinese Beast. Edition of 100 copies w/ xerox artwork. ORDER HERE

(PHR-91) PUTSUM - Afro Black Metal C60

Three Putsum live performances which took place between late 2011 and early 2012. He proved that Vlad Tepes Dracula was a vegetarian using a caustic reference to reality TV, shouted that Black Metal is not a caucasian-male exclusive benefit, and ressurrected Christ to a fucking zombie, which is something more rational, by the way. The Putsum performances stand between conceptual art, arte povera and punk actionism but the music itself has something else: the unique blended sequence of a madman's mind. You might not get the whole picture, but you are surely getting another view of this great project! Tour only cassette, in an edition of 65 copies w/ screenprinted fold-out j-cards. Limited stock, catch Putsum on the road w/ Bazooka and Gay Anniversary all over Europe this May. Tour dates here.

betty loop loop - "γεύση" (official video)

Official video of the song "Γεύση" by Betty Loop Loop as appears on the split double cassette "Betty Loop Loop / Άγγελος κυρίου / Κτίρια τη Νύχτα" on Phase!Records.

Shot by Mafia. Directed by Panagiotis Spoulos.

(PHR-90) ANGELS IN AMERICA - Greecings Caesar C60

An hour-long definite "Angels..." collection consisted of live action, outtakes and other experiments. "Greecings Caesar" might be the best introduction, if you're not familiar w/ the dark, mystagogic saga of these youngster's duo but be sure to check all the other recordings of them at FMA. Every single release (tapes on Ecstatic Peace!, Digitalis and Night People, LP on Ehse Records plus a split tape w/ Weyes Blood on Northern Spy) is somewhat perfect! Merv Glisten and Moppy Pont serve sentimental harshness at its best.
Edition of 100 tapes w/ on-body printing and screenprinted j-cards.
