Wall of Girl
(Chocolate Monk) CDR $7.00 (Out-of-stock)
COMING IN NOVEMBER. Beautiful electronic miniatures which have, much to the surprise of Wilma Bones, “a distinct musical bent to them. These ‘two of little words’ serve it all up in an evaporating broth of bird chirps and voltaic wheezing. Floating magnetized dust particles enshroud dinky wee loops that crepitate and bubble. Frequencies wheeze and serene noises bloom. Guaranteed to soothe and reduce your frothing.” Edition of 50
Make Holidays
(Chocolate Monk) CDR $7.00 (Out-of-stock)
COMING IN NOVEMBER. Fresh off a two-year stint in Iceland and a two-week holiday through Austria and Germany, Buffers is back with four servings of summer-encrusted collage. German supermarkets, Icelandic harbors, and heatstroke radler abound, topped off with a needle-stuck art song loop. A fond farewell to another blistering summer. Edition of 50
The Sounds of Silage: A Brief History of Poetrie Concrète
(Chocolate Monk) Magazine + CDR $13.00 (Out-of-stock)
COMING IN NOVEMBER. Two musical miscreants, both with fillings missing from their sandwiches hold hands so that we can huff up the audio and visual goo they excrete. On the audio side Welch’s vocal jabberings and percussive schwack get processed through the sonic snarfle of Ortmann's magic boxes, resulting in two tracks of hyper focused concrète gubbins. A finely stitched patchwork indeed. The accompanying booklet brims with gaudy collage, ink scrawlings and digital eye farts all suitable for perusing while you sit on the naughty step. Edition of 50
Jazz Isn’t Real
(Chocolate Monk) CDR $7.00 (Out-of-stock)
COMING IN NOVEMBER. Mike Holland and Paul Margree fiddled with their usual cheap junk and lo-fi blurt, waited 12 months, thought about chopping out the good bits for a quick and dirty bootleg style release, waited another year, and “whaddayaknow, all that cavalier cut and splice has morphed into finickity micro-edits, sauced with some entry-level software splutter and a few more of dollops of the street-weird utterances that exert a gravitational pull over Holland’s chromosomes and phone mic,” says Magree. “Here we are then. Not that we’d ever want it to sound nice or good or professional or anything like that. But maybe our aimless migraine drift has taken on a bit more shape and structure. Dirty puddles rather than grey clouds. Ready to go? Back to bed.” Edition of 50
Loss of Consciousness at the Coat Check
(l’Esprit de l’Escalier) Cassette $8.00 (Out-of-stock)
COMING SOON. No need to take one of those iffy online personality tests: this c40 by spiteful lunatics with no hobbies reveals everything about your inner landscape that you would ever want to know. Released after their show at Café Oto on 27 October 2026 — or wildly before their next one, whenever that may be, depending if you’re opti or pessi — the tape brings together audio mutations and four distinct proprietary blends of anti-unradical non-incoherence. The cut-ups montage of retired fly swatter testing coordinator S. Glass busts through emotional maturity matrices no one knew existed. Ian Francis Keye, with whom prolonged eye contact can be tricky for the easily suggestible, deploys arcane pulsations and turntable loops in pursuit of smooth transcendence. Peace be with you, geek. Inside the sensory endowment tank of The Co-Operati (aka Dylan Nyoukis, Druncan Harrison, and Zheng Hao), goddamn DNA de-differentiates between blats of tape yoink, ambience crusts, turntable reeeeer and the paradox-shattering woon of modular synthesis. Capping it off are Hastings of Malawi (yes, you read that correctly). Mid-century enunciation, vintage bleep-bloop, tape manipulation and all things off-center are the building blocks of John Grieve and Dave Hodes’s inversion of institutional therapy. And so the Rohrschach test, turning inward upon itself, implodes with a much-deserved sizzle. Good overmorrow. Released with Chocolate Monk, Adhuman, and Sham Repro.
