To Your Fucking Feather’d Wings

“Great, epic, slow-burning, surreal drone rock,” swears Head Heritage. “One of Phil Todd’s best.”
CRANK STURGEON / GASTRIC FEMALE REFLEX
Untitled
(Gold Soundz - GS31) split 7-inch $10.00 (Out-of-stock)
Gastric Female Reflex transmits songs through the cackle of thirty-meter Bronze Age jump ropes, and then swats them with unspooled tape from faulty tape recorders. On the flipside, deepwoods Maine-based Crank Sturgeon takes a similar story and runs it into the side of a convent full of shark-eating nuns, who respond with high-powered leaf blowers, stopping now and again to play a little violin and pee in their Dixie Cups. Not your typical avant electro-acoustic record, but still glorious, spacious, snakey, and primitive.
Lovers in the Midst of Eating Fries
(Gold Soundz - GS45) LP $20.00
Expertly executed and fried garage-art-noise/junk by Torontosaurs who're somewhere between American Tapes and classic mid-nineties NZ underground with plenty of Crank Sturgeon / Euro-actionist noise humor. Hand screened and marble-ized card cover.
Live in Japan
(Gold Soundz) CD $9.00
(Gold Soundz) Used CD $5.00
This document of the NYC trio’s 2002 J-jaunt is heavier on electronics than usual (no bass or guitar this time), and explodes with crunch, crackle, and sizzle. It’s some of Monotract’s most inorganic music, robust and unintelligible. Roger Rimada, Nancy Garcia, and Carlos Giffoni’s crowded mix has room for a rhythmic base, but the beats are just another conflicting voice within many. Packaged inside origami-style card foldout, silkscreened in eyeball-searing pink, designed by Jelle Crama.
Monomania Of Instinct
(Gold Soundz) Used CD $7.00
“A frightening miasma of non-musical elements” is how Foxy Digitalis describes the DNA of the single “thoroughly indigestible and stomach-churning” track from 1998 by Geert Feytons and associates, “a succession of shrieks, shouts and screamed words appear[ing] and disappear[ing] as clouds of rampant drones, electronic and concrete sounds make … surreptitious appearances….” It was created live at the M.S. Stubnitz-Stockholm, using a self-developed interaction between live music on sound-sculptures, video images and performance. Packaged in a gatefold card slipcase.
