little women - teeth - gilgongo records - lp - 10$
“Official BIO”: Brooklyn quartet Little Women formed two years ago to create music that blurs the line between structure
and spontaneity. The group’s sound distilled from a broad range of influences that stretch from classic Chicago free jazz
thru pop music, punk rock, math metal, and harsh noise. Little Women never stop pushing into new sonic territory: splitting
overtones to create ghost notes, violently disassembling their instruments onstage, and attacking written and improvised
material with equal ferocity. During performances band members often experience side-effects more commonly
associated with prescription drugs such as nausea, dizziness, and internal bleeding. Little Women stomp all over
genres, creating some of the most adventurous, in-the-moment, wrenchingly honest music of their generation.
"Teeth" is 20 minute piece, recorded in one long, single take, covering an impressive range of sound, and is an intense
and dynamic presentation of what they are doing as a band. Art work by MICK BARR (Orthrelm, Crom-Tech, Ocrilim, etc).
Also: Members of Little Women have recorded and/or performed with some of the top names in jazz/improvised music such
as: Anthony Braxton, Steve Lacy, Mark Dresser, Jim Black, Trevor Dunn, Dave Liebman, Joe Lovano, George Garzone,
Chad Hugo (The Neptunes), Gerry Hemingway, Joe Morris, Matt Wilson, Michael Formanek, Mat Maneri, and Dave Koz.
Members of Little Women also play in bands such as Zs, Extra Life, Cutter, Period, Archaeopteryx.

zs - arms - gilgongo records - lp - 11$
Simultaneously complex and minimal, avant-garde
post-jazz compositionists, ZS new full length "Arms" offers nearly 50 minutes of insane new studio recordings.
"Brooklyn quartet Zs play the real hard, real minimal, real painstakingly worked-out rock etudes that kids with beards
and concentrated stares prick up their ears for. However, the real news is, this stuff actually does rock, though
perhaps not as ragingly as bands to who they're likely to be compared (Orthrelm, Don Caballero, Flying Luttenbachers).
It helps that I first heard Zs live: four guys (drums, guitar, guitar+keyboard, saxophone) seated facing each other,
sheet music and stand-lights illuminating some very focused faces, and playing stuff that pounded a lot more than you
might think given the monkish air of the room". - Dominique Leone / pitchforkmedia.com. Vinyl version of the new full
length studio recording, an initial run of 500 on opaque white.

soft shoulder - gilgongo records - 7" - 5$
Two new songs from Arizona's SOFT SHOULDER, who play loud and noisey but equally catchy no-wave post-
punk (X-Ray Spex, Contortions, Sleetmute Niightmute). The A-Side being one of the origional set's staple, "Mary Ann",
which origionally surfaced in the form of a music video on a DNT VHS compilation with Shearing Pinx and others. The
B-Side is a slightly longer piece, the old set's staple closer, with a long, clean and broken bridge over trouble skronk.

droughts in Phoenix history. Limited to 330, "Drought" is Tent/City's first "proper" record, following several short-run and
sold-out releases on Not Not Fun and Night People, and is a one-sided clear record, the B-side being multi-screened and

french quarter - s/t - gilgongo records - lp + cd -11$
FRENCH QUARTER is Stephen Steinbrink from Phoenix, AZ. After releasing and selling out of several DIY / handmade
recordings (both done on his own and by labels such as Arbor and C-Salt), this self-titled LP, which comes with a CD
version inside, is his first properly issued recording, and comes highly anticipated by anyone who has seen him on one
of his excursions across various parts of the country. Stephen crafts memorable, vocal based folk songs using a
variety of approaches and methods while maintaining a smooth consistency in sincerity, making these 10 songs an
engaging and moving listen. Though comparable to others from past and present, (Neil Young? Woods? The
Microphones? Karl Blau?) and despite his young age, Stephen is hard at work creating his own set of unique songs
that feel like old friends upon first listen

bri white / james fella - when night comes - c-salt - cass - 5$
4 new guitar songs from Bri, one long noise / guitar layer piece from
James (me), all recorded when I was visiting Bri in Portland a few
weeks ago. On the way home from eating at Paradox, we found a ripped
apart hand-made art zine in SE PDX by Bri's house, we salvages as much
as we could and decided to pay tribute to the discarded labor of love
by collaging the apporpirate pages of the zine (leaving out personal
info, ect). Though we couldn't figure out who had made the zine, in a
perfect world, she'd be someone on this mailing list, would see this
and then get in touch. Short run of 40.

About a half an hour of live / radio recordings from Germany's Aosuke,

bri white / james fella - split - gilgongo records - 7"5$sold out
Split 7" from two busy-bodies from Arizona. BRI WHITE (Flux Conquistador, Foot Ox), who usually creates pretty
piano based singer-songwriter music, offers a six minute piece which is both beautiful and haunting (primarily
using a weird piano / violin hybrid instrument called a pianolin, which is obscure enough to not even have an
article on wikidpedia about it), and falls somewhere between the blurry lines of Spires That in the Sunset Rise and
White Magic. (She is currently up in Portland)! JAMES FELLA (Soft Shoulder, Tent/City) offers layers of clarinet, guitar,
vocal-based sound and noise in a piece that is much more calm and quiet than the majoirty of his usual sound / noise /
splice work. Full color covers enveloping thick blue (w/ splashes of white) vinyl.
