New psych damaged batch of nocturnal hookum from Karl Bauer. Zoned out crackling, tones and sweet SK-1 blowout all brewed up into a sweet load of tingling psychic non-songs and grot beats.

blood stereo - little creeper - chocolate monk - cdr - 10$

Recorded live at Resonance FM. Full on duo in kick back mode, trying to burrow out of the airwaves into the listeners spine via tapes, voice, violin, oscillators, percussion and various other junk. A very pleasant magnetic headache. "Constantly engaging, and almost OCD in its search for new sounds, it runs a pretty slick roller coaster from meditative drone to looped rhythm to random samples to vocal exhumations, all inextricably connected and mystically-timed, as if these two have some secret key to the sweet spot at which to stop hammering a sound and transform it into something new." - Noiseweek

uboat - condor song - chocolate monk - cdr - 10$

All out goof/guru vocal & drum guff from Ben Knight (towering breaker) and Pascal Nicols (stuckometer). Tired of attempting to ignite yr third eye? then why not open yr second anus, and fill your empty head with this exotic homebaked doughnut. And please, resist the temptation to run.

f. ampism - a ceremonial swirly - chocolate monk - cdr - 10$

Fine stoned loner bedroom constructions from this old grizzly. A well baked amalgam of tapes, electronics, vocals, clarinet and a bunch of other shit I can't pin down. Shove on your headphones and let the ear syrup begin.

gas sheperds - untitled - chocolate monk - cdr - 10$

These uk primitives are drooling. Salivating some wild liquids, most probably brought on from licking a finish mushroom, or toad. Bedroom plucking, strange clank and paranoid electricity. Its enough to send you back to the cave, asshole.

neil campbell & john clyde evans - live at transmission gallery, glasgow - chocolate monk - cdr - 10$

Recorded 22 November 1998 this is a bliss blister of cello, violin, tapes and voice. Like some shortwave radio broadcast straight from the porch, the duo conjuer up Sticky Foster as a 'ghost presence'. Karen Constance done did the artwork. You needs it.

robedoor christ vipers - chocolate monk - cdr - 10$

Slow smoke jams from Californian sloth worshipers. Total monochrome lurches into the feedback hole. Like a mouthful of black strawberries. Great dementia. “Voices, confusion, poisons. An endless fade to grey.” - Not Not Fun

sand rattle kins - 13 steps from kava conch - chocolate monk - cdr - 10$

This is a glorious weirdy. When i sniffed these baltimore dweebs out first time they were going by the name Mongol Wives, but somewhere down the track they decided enough of the exotic brides tag and one of them oozed out the name Sand Rattle Kins, so here we are... I don't know if there is a Little Finland located in Crabtown, but I doubt it. Thing is this great little batch of audio whoopee sounds like Tomutonttu edited together by some cracked out kid with ADD,, and thats not a bad thing. Get in on it!

taurpis tula - steel rods bruise butterflies - chocolate monk - cdr - 10$

This first recording as a trio (Heather and David Leigh are joined by Alex Neilson on drums) is a full on sonic avalanche. A wild exorcism, baby. “... leaves little fractured patterns scorched onto the memory like acid on glass. Taurpis Tula’s improvisational magic has taken a stronger but no less delicate and detailed turn. This is an epic excursion.” - Stylus

c

family underground - grave passage - chocolate monk - cdr -10$sold out

More delightfull Danish mong out. Heavy analogue synth lurching on this baby. "Family Underground are from Copenhagen, Denmark. Not much going on around here. We jam to have fun. The sound hails from the bowels of the shipwrecks on the bottom of the Baltic ocean. Family Underground consist of three, using a wide variety of instruments. Psychedelic drone for those who want to be down forever."
