Untitled
(Carnivals - CAR002) LP $18.75 (Out-of-stock)
Dean Blunt and Inga Copeland transmit their vision of a self-contained plane, seamed by an index of long-distance keyboard glaze, rent-a-car night coasters through programmed and screwed constructs of songs, musical absurdities and free, lifted improv jams. Thirty-five minutes that embrace the crud and sheen of mainstream components, and trades pound for pound with no-zone freedom. Second edition of 500.

Low Fired Clay Escape
(Carnivals - CAR003) LP $18.75
(Carnivals - CAR003) Used LP $12.00
Kelly Jones and Pascal Nichols proclaim a context far greater than the sum of their instruments (percussion and flute augmented by electronics, tapes and old military communication systems), on an album that expands the basic free jazz format with drones, feedback and zoned vocals, leaving us with visceral beauty, stark decay and translucence that inhales the smoke of martyrs and advances toward an unknown vocabulary, depicting barren worlds as lost as they are found. Edition of 530.
Crystal
(Carnivals - CAR004) LP $18.75
Electronic structures of space and density, dividing. "Skire" mimics the rhythms of the sea. Saccharine phrases sweep through "Lown," and dissonance looms. The dense and transparent title track elevates tones, and cyclical melody strengthens and fragments throughout, creating swathes of luminous texture that shift the focus to new harmonic patterns. A record of candid disorientation and ecstatic effect. Clear vinyl. Edition of 350.
