yellow swans & mouthus - conan island - weird forest - lp -14
An inevitable match made in Hades. Four titans workin' it out in the primordial mulch and all the gods are cowering in their presence. The dual intertwining guitar-attack impacts and fragments into the dense concrete percussion forest surrounded by a shroud of pulsing caterwauling skree. A harum-scarum locomotive ride of thick, bombastic & heavy proportions..just like you want it to be. Play loud for optimum effect! Cover art by Brian Sullivan.

united waters - your first ever river - arbitrary signs – lp – 16$
"If you know the man behind United Waters (B.K.A Brian Sullivan) from anything, you'll know him as the guitar thudder in Brooklyn's densest duo, Mouthus.... The new LP by United Waters rises and falls, slowly and organically - if you're half listening, it's a pleasant stream of organic electronics with the occasional acoustic guitar sound cutting through, perfectly lovely stuff, you could put it on anytime for anybody. But when the headphones go on and lights get dimmed, the evidence of the painstaking work that went into the composition and creation of these tracks is apparent, beautiful and stunning. The image that ran through my mind was Sullivan as a kid, late at night, staring at the black and white snow of the television in the dark - but he's seeing the secret patterns embedded in it, digital sparrows flying to nowhere through psychedelic vectors that no one else can see - or maybe listening to the radio long after the broadcast dropped off and the station stopped broadcasting, and he's able to hear the secret songs that the machines sing to one another in the night." --Peter Meehan
