Mark Durgan w/Spoils & Relics 'All Mistakes Straightened' (Mantile#017)
***********SOLDOUT***************


















Side A - 10.14
Side B - 10.23

On the 3rd of October 2010 Spoils & Relics acquainted themselves (sonically) with Mark Durgan at Chameleon, Nottingham, NG1. This acquaintance took place due to the fact these artists were asked to collaborate at the 'Lowest Form Of Music' festival, in celebration of the LA Free Music Society. They were asked to use material culled from numerous recordings of the LAFMS. This record was composed from what improvised material occurred during that preparatory period.

Abysses - 'First' (Mantile#018)


















Artwork by Daniel Ward.

Side 1 - 27.06 mins
Side 2 - 17.57 mins

The debut release from a project featuring Daniel Ward and Johnny Scarr. "Loitering outside supermarkets, emitting high pitched whines that teenagers find irresistible. Cut up voices and skinny guitar recall the bedroom experiments of early ‘80s miscreants like This Heat or The Storm Bugs but that all pervading bass wobble and unhealthy pulse could only have been made by misfits that have been sick on the dance floor, trying to shake the mdma out of their legs. A surprising amount of underhand beauty and melody is exuded from this pair of misanthropic motherfuckers on this cassette. Long may they reign." - Feral Debris
