"Endless (perveyor of the wonderful Earjerk, member of Drunjus and Second Family Band) really knows how to scratch up a tape. The sounds of a tape recorder left on long after the music has ended. The whip of the wind over a built-in-mic, the pocket rustle and the panning hum of a car passing by. A walk through the woods picking up trash and banging out rythms on rust and paper cups. Riffing in a melodica found under the moss. Edition of 50 tapes in sewn burlap pouches with a cardstock insert."

"Carter Thornton is no stranger to throwing something down, weather it's his recent LP on Conduit Creations with collaborations with everyone from Burning Star Core to Zaimph, or his time spent in Enos Slaughter (with brothers from NNCK and Sunburned), Izititiz, and Piegeons, the man has made a dent in the New York shamble folk that's for sure. This tape show's a wide range of everything from his off-kilter, ringing classical guitar work to bent up mixes of swirling static, dog barks, jingled bells and jangled drums, and slowly building into the intense fuzz of the B-side only to end with a warped keyboard demo jam at the end. Strange is only the beginning. Edition of 50 tapes in full-color wrap-around 'Wappenhalter-style' sleeves laid on leaves picked from the summit of Mt. Jeez and tied shut with twine."

"When he's not teaching kids saxophone, Joseph McNulty lays down a string of guitars, tosses them into a pile of drums and noises, and occasionally drops a few words on top. A pure garden of back porch folk without the downer. A good time to be had just laying back on the tree-trunk and reading a book. Bright and coasting with the wind, droning into melodies to BBQ to and spinning it all back home to the melodies first handed to you. Spring time tunes at their finest. Edition of 50 tapes in wrap-around collage art tied closed with twine with two cardstock inserts and a piece of a local map."

Since letting go of the past and moving on from his previous project 'Thee Moths', Alex Botten has joined up with Sian from What the Moon Looks Like to create Wings & Claws. This live set spread across both sides of the tape finds strange drunken thumb-piano ramblings floating around in a wash of buzz and hum drone. Sians vocal layering creep through and (unintentional?) feedback slips into a loop. Hazy sleepwalking wrapped in quilts and you can almost hear the fire in the hearth. In wraparound full-color cardstock sleeve with stamped paperbag belt, painted labels, and 3 inserts. Limited to 50

Nick Bindemen (of both Eternal Tapestry and Jackie-O Motherfucker) is very obviously a man of many musical faces. In Tunnels he takes it solo and weaves shimmering and droning psychedelia. Here the project finds a bit of a more tropical feel, with bumps of tribalistic rythms and near funky grooves. Frantic hand-percussion and mantra vocals dancing in the meshes of guitar and chimes. Rainfall and birdcalls. DEEP drones and finger-piano tones. In sewn pouches with 3 inserts and painted/stamped labels. Limited to 50.
