skeleton warrior - pornographic hologram - obsolete units - cass - 5$
One of the more secretive acts in the strange terrain of Florida-based noise makers, the always enigmatic Skeleton Warrior allow some more presence to take hold with this epic tape of bewildering glee. Pornographic Hologram very literally veers from speaker-damaging scuzz rock to amphetamine-ruined industrial pop to analog synth caterwauling to everything else in between. No spaces left untouched, and yet a distinct linking thread holds it all in place. A diverse and vigorous long-player made perfect for the adventurous.

hells hills - little matter of death - obsolete units - cass - 5$
An aural hallucination of multi-manned brash and foggy ambiance, three pieces drift forever-penetrable with clouded vapors, dank electronics met with possible codes and all manner of using instruments both standard and near-imaginary for the greater good of providing ominous comfort. A much-needed documentation of a musical force with already infamous happenings in-the-flesh, Little Matter Of Death is the debut recording from the Brooklyn-based quintet Hells Hills. An echoing guitar dream eventually gives way to a piece of guttural vocal shouts punctuated by lost beats and the utmost pile of astral sounds. Ending on the flip with a staggering quarter-hour session of their harshest and most surreal strengths manifested live to some lucky attendees, Hells Hills punctuate with a drone-infused mission, yet always finds strange diversions and other bits of sonic paraphernalia to coat these songs with an unequivocally luminous stamina.
