Smut - "Piano One" C-40
Lucy Johnson's Smut project is seen here in stripped down form; utilising only a piano and a tape recorder. The pieces featured on this tape drift from sombre marches into ecstatic triumphant rining tones. Drawing on influences such as La Monte Young and the monolithic droning nature of early Earth with a more lo-fi and forlorn feeling. Packaged in a hand stamped envelope.

V/A - "Behind The Toiler Door: Part I" C-90
Behind The Toilet Door was a one day "festival" (for want of a better word) held in Blyth, Northumberland on the 2nd November 2008 featuring a slew of the more bizaree names in Northern Noise underbelly. Each project, band or artist was made to perform, as the name would suggest, within the small, claustrophobic confines of the wood workshop toilet. This document features the first half of the proceedings with sets from Brian Mueter And The Grandfather Clock, One Wobbly Egg, Waz Hoola, Dirty Den and "Wild" Joe Parsons, MC Blazin', Chris "Pause" Richardson, Ron The Birdcage and Scottish free jazz favourites Tighten Me Jewels. Hear them from behind the toilet door, watch them through the keyhole; hear them as they should be heard. Part II is available on Matching Head.

La Mancha Del Pecado/Culver/Karst - "Split" CD-r
Mexican noise maniac La Mancha Del Pecado has been working tirelessly to create of the most interesting and unique drone/noise music in years. Music made with the dedication and care of a true fan of the genre.

Karst, one of George Proctor's (Mutant Ape, Sump etc...) lesser known projects makes a return from haitus to appear on this 3 way split with two of his favourite projects operating today.

Voltigeurs/Dark Bargain - "Split" 7"
Matthew Bower's and Samantha Davies' Voltigeurs has been operating as a Skullflower alter-ego for some years now and with the arrival of a new release, sitting nicely along side their slew of existing excellent titles (some of which also on Turgid Animal), they continue to not only prove their worth as a project in their own right but also continue to make some of the most interesting a ripping dark pyschedelic noise in the world wide "scene"... and as if that wasn't enough, the other side of the record awaits... On this, their debut release, Newcastle based trio Dark Bargain provide 7 minutes of thunderous rhythmns and harsh distortion laden and feedback drenched noise rock. A triumphant and impressive entrance to the world of releases for them, which isn't suprising once you are aware of the fact that Dark Bargain features three stalwarts of the northern noise underworld; Jamie Stewart (of Wrest) on bass, Lucy Johnson (of Rife and Smut) on drums and Mike Simpson (of Xazazz and owner of the Molotov imprint) on guitar and effects. Cover artwork by Lucy Johnson. Limited to 300 copies on black vinyl.

Mole Hole - "Sordid Hypnosis" C-40 Wooden Box Set (Lighten Up Sounds) "Raw delivery in an attempt to document and capture the essence of recent crude and cathartic live actions. Grinding static assault and shifting granular murk-attack. Recorded live, no mixer, no pedals, no overdubs. Sounds sourced from adapted/broken phonograph machine, prepared/damaged lathe-cut picnic plates, and prepared/damaged 16mm film loops and projector, along with analog micro synth, everything heavily zonked and spat back out for ultimate brain damage. Psychedelic crackle-mantras and rhythmic warble tone, carving deep jagged lines into frontal lobe. Handmade wooden-object package, with unlabeled solid red shell C40 sandwiched between two thick chunks of 90 year old barn wood (slightly rotten, old paint flakes, etc.) firmly fastened together with a pair of 2 phillips screws, topped off with wrap around xerox paste-on artwork featuring disturbing and stark double exposure hypno-regression fantasy, wrapped up tight and protected in heavy 7 plastic bag. Numbered edition of 25". - Label Description | Horseback/Voltigeurs - "Split" 10" (Turgid Animal) Long awaited split between USA's Horseback (now of Relapse Records fame!) and England's own Skullflower related project Voltigeurs.

Two inserts printed on heavy stock inside a thick PVC sleeve. Limited to 250 copies. | Sick Seed - "Man And Machine" 7" (Turgid Animal) Many will know Pekka PT's Sick Seed project under it's old guise of Gelsomina. Now with a new name and several solid releases under his belt, the Finland native offers up his first 7" release; of which Turgid Animal is very proud to release. This 7" features two sides of raw-as-it-gets Power Electronics with true conviction and dedication. Industrial rhythmn supplied via raw steel junk. Black vinyl. | ||
