Artist: ASHTRAY NAVIGATIONS Title: Aero Infinite Format: Cass Label: Tape Drift Country: USA Price: $6.00 |
| "Rounding out the labels round of hero worship, this tape arrives from one of our original sources of label inspiration (with the other pillars being Simon Wickham-Smith and Campbell Kneale). Its almost impossible to overstate the importance of Phil Todds Ashtray Navigations project to our own personal sonic journey, so being able to release this brand new set of tunes is pure joy. All the Ashtray Navigations elements you know and love are present, but something feels new and fresh here – it could be the way the synths and guitars blend with perfection, the full-on obliteration of time, the trippy intensity of each maximalist moment, or the fearless exploration of new zones. Whatever it is, the best solution is full surrender. Aero Infinite is more than just another addition to a massively quality back catalog – its an essential new step forward." - Tape Drift. |

Artist: BURNT HILLS Title: Cloud Nine Format: CDR Label: Tape Drift Country: USA Price: $9.00 |
| "Latest missive from this free rock/noise/psych collective based in the wilds of Albany, NY. Easily their loudest and most PURE assault on the senses yet. Wild, wooly, and singular-minded in its pursuit of psychedelic Krautrock-inspired oblivion. We cant say it any better than the good folks at Aquarius: "Fans of freaked out psychedelic punch ups, dizzying clattery outsider free rock and getting super high and diving head first into a huge pile of drums and guitars will feel right at home." Keep an eye out for upcoming Burnt Hills releases on the Lotus Sound, Qbico, Ruby Red, and Ruralfaune too." -Tape Drift. |

Artist: OUR LOVE WILL DESTROY THE WORLD Title: Broken Spine Fantasia Format: Cass Label: Tape Drift Country: USA Price: $8.00 |
| "Following an initial LP and a few singles on other labels, we present two thrilling live sides documenting recent shows in Australia and New Zealand from Campbell Kneales new project post-Bircvhille Cat Motel. Kneales been a massive personal favorite here at Tape Drift since he first hit the scene in 1997. Reborn in this new guise, hes taking no prisoners and leaving audiences stunned by the majestic power of his noisy epics. Its hard to imagine Campbell topping the peaks of his vast BCM catalog, but these two tracks are a dream come true and suggest he may just have done it. Massively brutal sound here - perhaps one of his noisiest yet, but of course its got all the hidden melodic elements and attention to detail that youve come to know and love. A psychedelic noise master work that works amazingly well with the oxide of tape." - Tape Drift |

Artist: WICKHAM-SMITH, SIMON Title: A Seventh Persimmon Format: CDR Label: Tape Drift Country: USA Price: $8.00 |
| "Words are tough when it comes to describing music this astoundingly beautiful. A leading figure in the worldwide experimental music community since the early 90s, Simon Wickham-Smith adds to his sizable body of work with this masterpiece. Three tracks clocking in at almost 60 minutes, Simon s new work is the result of years spent honing his craft. His influences are drawn from sources far and wide, but the music that results is uniquely his own. Transcending genre altogether but most clearly informed by minimalism, this release is hypnotic, mysterious, and gorgeous. If you ve followed the arc of his career, you ll be pleased to see how mature and powerfully focused his musical vision has become. If you re new to his world, it s an excellent introduction. To say that it s an honor for us to be releasing his music would be a massive understatement. A true classic." - Tape Drift |
