pleased to present this very awesome cassette by
Bob Bellerue(halfnormal/redglaer/anarchymoon) two prefectly recorded pieces of feedback laced metal drones(??).hard to tell exactly what the sound sources are, but you will be rewarded through multiple listenings
of this tape...reminds me of organum ,but with a more urban punk attitude . Black & white artwork /black cassettes

cold turkey - a million miles away - hermitage -one sided lp - 16$
Question? What does the debut Cold Turkey platter sound like?
A) A Horn having an exorcism inside a destroyed/ blown out Wendy's in the year
2897 AD after the world has been destroyed to tiny bits FOUR times hundreds of
years ago
B) The Soundtrack to someone who has inject spraypaint into to his spine for
any kind of physical activity, and "cold turkey" is blasted into their
headphones as they "spray up" for a bout of tropical heat water skiing.
C) the WORST track submission in the history of "THE BOSTON POPS SEND IN YOUR
OWN SAX SOLO COMPETITION"
D) ALL OF THE ABOVE
Dunno about ya'll but test intuition 101 says go with All of the Above every
time. But don't listen to this mug, jamm this COLD TURKEY onesider instead.
Screw tests, up the HEARING TESTS!! And what a test this is, just a HORRIBLE
SOUNDSCAPE. The sound of things not comfortable where they are placed, just
plain freakin' to get outta joint/dodge/town/here. FAST. But they are trapped!
Puts the SQUIRM resistance up to: A MILLION until the evil lock groove
bookending the sound forces everything into a PERMA JAIL. BOXED IN!!! THE
HORROR!! Hearing this over and over I start to lean in to listen to the voices
inside the jailed reed bleeding rib cage sound trap, terrible voices emerging
from the din. What would they say? Is it even reeds? Is my rec. needle striking
back? What? Who is AC anyway? Did they press this record on rotten cottage
cheese? Does it come with a free voucher for a priest to break it in half? Can I
own this and still live twenty feet from a school??? HELP!!!
So. Hermitage vinyl debut. Handpainted. Handrulin. Mine was HANDED to me at a
killer party. Where NO ONE HAD HANDS. I would file this killer LP in the "Tales
from the Darkside" section of all your Michigan Psycho Mafia wax/platters. I'll
brag and say mine is a double YARD wide and contains the beyond rare/priceless
ZOMBI lathe cut LP from ages ago (that COLD TURKEY kinda sounds like a BEST BUY
version) and the unknown TALL BIRCH COLLAPSED ON FAMILY private weirdo noise LP
from MICH. that sounds like a "scrambled" part two of the legendary Paul
Feinberg's VACATIONS mind-blowing single. Why all this nerd talk? Cold Turkey LP
fits right in, hand done, raw locked inside mental battle SOUND LP. It rages
with quiet slow burn, like a relay switch dipped in magic batter and cut with
urine. Cold Turkey: best served: BOXED IN!!!!
