[split cassette] - Al Qaeda/Spreaders

Al Qaeda/Spreaders
[split cassette]
[babysunghxing Records] - CS ($3)

Everyone has that one thing in their collection that is considered the "odd" record. Odd as in, the kind of thing you put on when people come over and say things like "You HAVE to listen to this, it's crazy". The kind of thing where you sit, you listen, and you quietly exchange looks and gestures as the music surrounds you. The kind of thing where, once it's over, you need only silently acknowledge the intensity and peculiarity of this shared experience. This is that kind of tape. Spreaders spends their side of the release subconsciously seeping their noise-infused ambiance into your brain, while Al Qaeda hits the whole experience home on side B with their unpredictable brand of experimentalism. Spray-stenciled, normal-bias cassette tapes encased in plastic boxes and fabric pouches. Extremely limited quantities of these available.

WRMS - Spreaders

Spreaders
WRMS EP
WR002 - CS ($4)

Spreaders is a band that has come a long way in a very short amount of time. It is difficult to believe that the same band has released both The Friends EP (Free download!) and this cassette within the same six month period of time. And, although I am head-over-heels for their droney new releases, the WRMS EP represents all that I first fell in love with. Although they have mentioned to me in the past how they grow tired of this descriptor, the sound presented on WRMS is some sort of freakish hybrid between black metal and surf music. Pounding drums, heavy bass riffs, and scratchy vocals meet melodic, poppy guitar sounds, creating the most amazingly unlikely musical harmony ever. Clear cassette tapes with a light splattering of blue paint plus full-color j-cards. Lazy Roar has seven copies for distribution, however only 35 were ever made.

that much. but i think im dizzy. My stomach hurts, I think i want to go
to my room, the point is to stop eating so much. "

[Self-titled CD-R] - Asian Woman On The Telephone

Asian Woman On The Telephone
[Self-titled CD-R]
[self-released] - CD-R ($6, shipping included)

Earlier today, a box arrived on my doorstep. The corners were slightly battered, clearly from having been shipped from far away. The surface of the box was cool to the touch and stood in stark contrast to the sweltering heat outside. I tugged the package indoors and ripped open the top. A blast of frozen Russian wind blew my hair backwards as I stared at the quite sizable ice block within. Upon retrieving some tongs from the kitchen, I extracted the ice block and set it on the porch to thaw. An hour later I returned to find a stack of snazzy new noise rock CDs, now restored from their cryogenically frozen state.

Asian Woman On The Telephone's newest release is one of the most creatively packaged CDs I've ever seen. The silk-screened CD-Rs are contained in flat, triangular packages like this and fold out into pyramids that sit on your desk like this. There are four different versions, each with a different track listing. 100 copies exist in the world, but Lazy Roar only has 25 for distribution this side of the Pacific, so snatch it up before it's too late!
