Here's a special release from Nihil Obstat, the ambient / industrial project of John Lithium. John was one of the first to show interest in my projects and its an honor to be releasing an album of his. No End In Sight is 11 tracks of industrial ambient music sure to please fans of NON and Nurse With Wound but with a more digital bent to it. This is music to melt old computers by.

Interstates (Etc.) - Fucked (GD033)

Tracks:

1) Fucked
2) Soaked
3) The Eye

This is a hot new release from Interstates (Etc.) (Brandon Greter, proprietor of Dream Root Recordings). This one has a lot of manipulated field recordings (radio chatter, number stations, water noises) mixed with drones and some nice dubbed-out beats. One of my favorites from Mr. Greter.

Bobb Hatt Attack - Llive Wworks 2008-2009 (GD030)

Download: http://www.mediafire.com/?jjmbxnmb7ma

Tracks:
1) Untitled (ARTS/West - 4/23/09)
2) Untitled (Brown Town - 1/6/09)
3) Untitled (Crystal Castle - 4/11/09)

Bobb Hatt Attack is the noise / free jazz / performance art project of Bobb Hatt from Athens. Bobb's sets use tape loops, overblown saxophone, microphone feedback, effects, found objects, percussion and partial nudity and combine them all into a swirling miasma of disgusting skronk and ear-splitting tones. Possibly the best context to see Bobb is live, where his sets carry quite the visual impact as well. It gives me great pleasure that Bobb, a stunning performer and good friend, has made it possible to make this album the 30th release on Grundale Records. Snag this now. Album art is by Aaron Vilk.

Disgusting, gut-wrenching harsh noise from J. Haras, a.k.a. Pyrrhic Thanatology Monger from Rockford, Il. This album is a miserable blend of searing feedback and stomach churning walls of sound from a young noisician who runs the small cassette label Fusty Cunt Records (stay tuned for a new Nyodene D c-47 on F.C.Recs. later this month). HIGHLY RECCOMMENDED!!
