Artist: AFTERNOON PENIS Title: In The Evening Format: Cass Label: Heavy Tapes Country: USA Price: $10.00 |
| "Nate Nelson is the Afternoon Penis and "In The Evening" is his solo debut. Nate also pounds in Mouthus, White Rock, and Religious Knives, and brings a truly homemade vision that has managed to sustain several haircuts. Dont ask us to explain that. A truly "in-house" affair, with mysterious false start B-side and classic REAL REAL REAL zone -- grunts, unts, stunts, pounds, drounds and blown out sounds." - Heavy Tapes. |
|
Artist: BLACK QUARTER Title: Sodomy ESP Format: Cass Label: Heavy Tapes Country: USA Price: $10.00 |
|
"After the Gematria debut, Maya Miller returns with her second solo
effort, the highly anticipated "Sodomy ESP." Recorded in one take in
deep-afternoon haze deer-skull-on-the-table statement style, Maya
closes her eyes, rocks back and forth, and blasts a magnetic mono hymn
with organ and tone-vox. Like trying to figure out how the hell
"Nelil" Young plays guitar and harmonica at the same time, on the same
beach, circa the invention of the honey slide. At 4 RPM. Last round of
warmup jams before the Ecstatic Peace LP drops. First black and white
HT cover since the first few tapes -- feel free to color "it" in." - Heavy Tapes.

Artist: CAMPBELL, NEIL Title: Teasel/Thistle Format: Cass Label: Heavy Tapes Country: USA Price: $10.00 |
|
""Teasel/Thistle" is a shimmering and bright reaction to bright stars floating in the fog above the Western Half of the United States. Meditation and meditation and meditation and meditation is listening to this tape -- like switching it on and off and on and off, this twenty-eight minute ride can ACTUALLY take you there! Take our word for it. Neil has played with the A-Band and Vibracathedral Orchestra, and has recently cut a million melted slabs as "Astral Social Club." - Heavy Tapes.

Artist: DOUBLE LEOPARDS Title: Gematria Format: Double Cass Label: Heavy Tapes Country: USA Price: $14.00 |
|
"The first of hopefully many cassette only full-length albums by Double Leopards
on
Heavy Tapes. Recorded in the Summer of 2005. Four sides, and we each get one:
Curtis (Chris), Black Quarter (Maya), Zaimph (Marcia), and Workbench (Mike)
recording
something privately and with the band in mind. Curtis and Black Quarter bring
it for
the first time solo, and Workbench and Zaimph are clearly channelling some new
heavy shit. If youve ever wondered who in Double Leopards is doing what, this
will
only make you more confused. These sides take you through vocal worlds and
guitar
streams, tape hiss and choking organs, beast speak and private conversations.
Please join us. In double cassette vinyl album with full color artwork, custom
labels,
and creeped insert." - Heavy Tapes.

Artist: FAILING LIGHTS Title: Dismal Winds Format: Cass Label: Heavy Tapes Country: USA Price: $10.00 |
|
"Failing Lights is Mike Connelly, who also plays in Hair Police, Wolf
Eyes, and runs the Gods of Tundra label. His work in the mentioned
bands is incredible, deranged and shows his uncanny ability to work
with other powerful players, always to synergistic ends. With "Dismal
Winds," Connelly starts a strange dance with some electronic devices
that seem to be confounded by themselves: a sludgy, clogged, and
choked affair. A short and thick burst, this is dark, bass-heavy, and
"just right." - Heavy Tapes.

Artist: FULLERTON WHITMAN, KEITH Title: A Bogan Apocalypse Format: Cass Label: Heavy Tapes Country: USA Price: $10.00 |
|
"One of the people on our original wish list for the "Solo Synth" series, Keith Whitman offers three pieces which invoke various intense mental landscapes through melodic sweeps, pulsing bass, scrambled signals, and more discernable electric speak. You think the ground is new and the water is still flowing, but its just inverted, and instead they stand to reflect your thoughts inward -- hard to explain, but easy to enjoy." - Heavy Tapes.

Artist: GRIMLEY, TOM Title: Never Mind the Abstention, Heres the Semi-Automatic Format: Cass Label: Heavy Tapes Country: USA Price: $10.00 |
| "This tape is a series of recordings of an automated electronic ensemble - independent agents designed and built by Tom Grimley to perform his music for him. Side "A" includes studies for the full piece and the full recording of "Never Mind..." while side B contains "Studies for a New Trio." Both of these recordings are remarkably new and fascinating -- new and unheard voices interact and produce something that warrants close attention -- there are layers of discussion and projection, hums, creaks, whistles, throbs, and more. First in a planned series of projects with Heavy Tapes and Tom." - Heavy Tapes |

Artist: INSAYNGEL Title: S/T Format: LP Label: Heavy Tapes Country: USA Price: $15.00 |
| "LP edition of 500, full color printed covers We saw Insayngel play some time in 2008 or maybe the end of 2007 at Glasslands. Immediately we said to each other "This band needs to have a record out. Lets do it." We talked to the band after the gig and they were down -- it was recorded, mastered by our friend Todd Cavallo, and sent off to the plant. Insayngel is Calder, Caitlin, Richard, and John. Calder and Caitlin are Vizusa and used to jam Excepter, and Richard and John are the brutal rhythm unit of Sightings. An intriguing combination of players to say the least, this LP brings a 30th Century sound to the history of New York City. The locked, wrecked rhythms, desparate, gorgeous wails, and shredded, anxious guitars are symphonic, undulating, impossible. A serious now vision that impressed us deeply enough to be the first LP weve ever done. Art by Calder, pressed in Brooklyn, New York." -Heavy Tapes |

Artist: JAZZFINGER Title: Tour of the Moors Volume 1 Format: Cass Label: Heavy Tapes Country: USA Price: $10.00 |
| "Jazzfinger have managed to span chronology and geography with their destructive path of sonic dedication and abandon. This tape collects two live performances where the group floats recorders, voices, and electricity through the channels and pipes of a true clutch of old school heads -- a very worthwhile picture indeed." - Heavy Tapes. |
|
Artist: MAGNETICRING Title: Debris Magnetiques Format: Cass Label: Heavy Tapes Country: USA Price: $10.00 |
| "Magneticring is Josh Stevenson of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. "Debris Magnetiques" is the first in a series of "solo synth" tapes on Heavy Tapes. Here Josh uses a EMS Synthi, a cracklebox, and his ecstatic electromagnetic field to produce a cut up, deep sounding crack of electricity and momentum. Very different in flow and form from most Heavy Tapes releases, this focuses on the gush and rush and is a great head cleaner." - Heavy Tapes. |

Artist: NELSON, NATE Title: Rope Pores Format: Book/CDR Label: Heavy Tapes Country: USA Price: $22.00 |
| "Rope Pores" is the second in a series of books presented by Heavy Tapes in an attempt to document the amazing visual talents and obsessions of some of contemporary experimental musics finest practitioners. Nate Nelson plays drums, percussion, and electronics in the 21st-century caveman destruction group Mouthus, and also lends his amazing talents to keep the beat for NY out-rock group Religious Knives. Fans may know his visual work from the series of covers he has done for the nearly 20 CDRs released by Mouthuss "Our Mouth" label, which range from tight and thin towers of ink to overblown contrasting visions. "Rope Pores" is a repetitive and incredible journey toward scraping away the painfully thin layer separating the concrete and the abstract. Through thin lines, tight pockets, and sprawling organic structures, Nelson presents an intense and storied vision, along with an accompanying and beautiful piece of music -- a tape composition composed over roughly the same period of time that the visual work was being completed. Edition of 100, signed and numbered by the artist." -Heavy Tapes. |
|
Artist: ORGANS Title: What It Sounds Like Inside You Format: Cass Label: Heavy Tapes Country: USA Price: $7.50 |
|
"Organs is Spencer Yeh and Ron Iovae and "What it Sounds Like..." is an audio
document of an internal ascent/descent that mirrors and mirrors and finally
collapses. Two pieces recorded probably crouched in a corner somewhere, freshly
ripped up magazines and negatively charged electrons everywhere -- this reaches
levels of total weirdo intensity and showcases some pretty out theories about
how
"music" should "flow." A great addition to the already staggering bodies of
work by
these two sound professors." - Heavy Tapes.

Artist: ROMERO, DAMION Title: Birth Twin Format: Cass Label: Heavy Tapes Country: USA Price: $10.00 |
| "Damion Romero is a Los Angeles based practitioner of power acoustics and intense low-level sound manipulation. He has recorded as Speculum Fight, and collaborated with MSBR, Astro, Spencer Yeh, and many more. He is a consistent source of fascinating buzz and drone and somehow manages to translate inherently physical and spatial sound amazingly onto analog and digitally recorded media. Birth Twin is a deeply focused and dense piece of sound that tests the limitations of concentration and movement." - Heavy Tapes. Edition of 150. |

"Three intense sides of extended studies in synthesis and live performance.
Shiflet is
the kind of artist who can seemingly "turn it on" any time he wants, revealing
the
racket and buzz in his head and allowing us all to peak in. Side four is a
Workbench
"Stasis Style" remix of the Elaborate Palms material." - Heavy Tapes.

"Warm Cans" is a reissue of the "White Rock CDR" that nobody has because we

is
Maya, Mike, Nate, and Brian in the Tar Pit, mostly at night, when we could get
time off
from our other more full time "gigs." The full length "Tar Pit" has just
dropped on
Troubleman, but check this tape for the "hot parts" Im always talking about.

| "We first met Drew from Withdrawal Method / Since 1972 at the first No Fun festival -- he was selling tapes and hanging with the Nyoukis/Brighton crew, and his tapes were killer. After finding about his music project Withdrawal Method by a few bootleg live shows and officially released cassettes, we asked Drew for a master, and he gave us two live performances -- an optimal way to enjoy his sounds. Rough, live, purely electronic, these two pieces defy description -- just bury your head in the sand and trust us on this one." - Heavy Tapes |

Right in the shadow of the bulb is Santurce, where the Cubo space is a jagged realm of concrete and hyper productive thought and action. Workbench and Black Quarter were lucky enough to be invited to play in the San Juan Noise Fest and this is a partial document of the evening -- our live set on one side, and Puerto Rican noise mainstay Cornucopia on the other. A small slice of a magical evening in Puerto Rico." - Heavy Tapes. |
