REVIEW:
The latest from Sam Burton, who you might remember as one of the musicians who came out of the Spy Hop label a few years back. He's back and working with Chthonic Records to release this five-track EP titled Herd Behavior. The EP has been described by the label as “gut-wrecnhing beautiful songs,' which is a pretty fitting title as these are about as bare-boned and honest as you can get. Most of them are simply Burton with a guitar, perhaps with a little bass and harmonic to dress it up on occasion. A really nice departure from his prior works, and a fitting kind of album for the season. It may just be an EP, but this is a must-have for the year.

Jonathan Boulay / Timothy Boulanger - "Boulay / Boulanger" split cassette. 5.00 ppd with glow in the dark artwork and download code Jonathan Boulay and Timothy Boulanger both know how to describe things through words and sounds that are near and dear to us. They pinpoint feelings that are hard to describe unless you've felt them. These songs take you to a place of apathy, contemplation, nostalgia, but with a raw undertone and influences around the board. - Brent Colbert

dBpm - "Music To Fuck To" Cassette. Last release by dBpm. mini cassette housed in recycled cigarette boxes. one cigarette included with each tape. Listening while fucking is recommended.
A. Smoking Is an Adult PleasureB. Cumming
REVIEW:
I love the idea that some weirdos out there might actually fuck to this. Although we are both weirdos, my wife and I would probably not be that into it. Dead Meadow? Yeah, we can rock that but gritty drone? That is probably not going to happen. For those few couples out there that could truly fuck to noise and drone this may be up your alley. Figuratively. This cassette is actually pretty short, probably about 10 minutes per side, so in that way it's probably pretty realistic for most people to fuck to. Both sides contain some beautiful if not slightly harsh waves of drone. The first of these sides comes in waves so huge it sounds like you are listening to this while on a giant pendulum. The second side is a bit more straight forward in it's delivery but a bit more potent. It's a great release musically. The packaging is also noteworthy. The cassette is packaged in a reclaimed cigarette box with a real hand rolled cigarette inside. The insert has all the info and is designed to fit perfectly with it's box. Well done. Really an extra point for the execution here. Definitely check this one out. - Dead Formats

Anti-music, drones, EAI, ambiences, melodies, harshness and pleasantries. Each tape comes in a one of a kind hand made sleeve. Each tape looks different but sticks to the same THEME. limited to 40 copies so grab one while you can. Comes with digital download.
SIDE A:
6335 - Transformer Blues
dBpm - 198(?) (mp3)
SIDE B:
Silver Antlers - Unicorn Tears
Transcode - Abdominal Pain
REVIEW:
Utah has some pretty killer sounds coming out of it these days. This four way split is made up of 75% Utah acts and it's a pretty awesome cross section of potential. 6335 starts out with what i think is a live performance full of ever shifting waves of distortion and glitches before settling into some restrained drones. The audio on this is a little lacking but I assume that is the live quality of the recording. dBpm is very beautiful. Reminds me a bit of Sigur Ros' approach to drone and ambient. Silver Antlers delivers a track that sounds very professional and has a touch of rhythm throughout it. It leans a bit towards a Brian Eno style of minimal electronic. Finally, Transcode (AZ) sounds like they took a song with piano, acoustic guitars, drums and horns and completely destroyed it. Cut up sounds start out the chaos before super restrained tones finish off this release. Well done. The packaging is simple and very DIY. Everything is handwritten, the outside, the insert and all done with a Bic pen. The outsides are spraypainted as are the tapes. You will also receive a download code, so that rules. - Dead Formats

REVIEW:
Chthonic Records first vinyl release comes in the form of a Rake Kash one sided 12” that is available in an extremely limited quantity of 100 copies. The paste on sleeve and home made aesthetic add to the quirky charm of this record which is a collection of lo-fi instrumentals. Mainly comprised of synths and pianos the tracks flow like a soundtrack to a bizarre b-movie from a bygone era. The music is evocative and serene and definitely worth your time.
