SICK HEAD TAPES #32 - SPOILS AND RELICS “AMMONIUM BULB” (C30)

"The professors of sound fuckery get right inside your head and rip that shit wide open. Something is being assembled, I’m sure, but how many functioning orifices will the resulting beauty have is your guess. Imagine making sweet love all through a hot night only to discover that your loved one is in fact a C30 cassette with two holes and over a minute of blank at the end of each side. S&R do the unhurried hunting and gathering of sound to the notch and with zero wank. Another static aural delight. -TA"

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

new cassette release on the cylindrical habitat modules label...




















"Subtle yet horrifying c30 of disconcerted, scurrying sounds from this UK crew. Total avant gutter-scraping musique disintegration, completely Michigan style but with a very distinct aesthetic. Never winds up getting harsh, just very unsettling and gives you nothing to hold on to. Scrapes, warbles, weird voices, tape wreckage, everything sounds like it's in the room with you, just covering everything and rusting and molding every surface it touches. Sounds like it was recorded in a sewer or a really bleak attic. One of my favorites from this batch. Damaged, extra fitting cover photography by Caitlin David, taken when we spent a day exploring an abandoned hotel in one of the grimmest corners of Cleveland. Full color with labels. Edition of 65."
