island’s eyelids – eyelands I – roll over rover

$6 Add to cart

We are proud to present Rover’s first dip into the East coast, mailed in from an old high school friend. Island’s Eyelids, formerly known as Realax or J Wolf, somehow managed to capture the sounds of New York sewers and Central Park joggers and blast them both into the stars. First time I heard this tape I was walking, by the end of it I was running. As always, comes with a high quality download of the album.
Produbbed ocean blue shells, color artwork, numbered insert, limited to 100 copies.

iibiis rooge – life In a bloodcell – winged sun

$8 Add to cart

Iibiis Rooge (High Wolf + Astral Social Club) has been on and off for the past two years. A new lp has been recorded last year and will be released soon on Weird Forest. This tape is a good transition between old Iibiis style and the new direction. It’s slowly going from a Iibiis first period jam opening the tape to a brand new what-to-expect-kind- of-in-your-face style closing title. Blame Neil Campbell.

invisible path – hermetic dreamscapes – astral creek

$7 Add to cart

Invisible Path is a lurker’s vessel constructed/helmed by Michael Bailey, former member of San Francisco’s Barn Owl. On his cassette debut, ‘Hermetic Dreamscapes On the Roots of Our Nature’, lantern glow guides our transport through swaths of foggy dream-tone hustled by musty gusts of white noise. High-synth is the collected voice of unseen flora/fauna speaking as melismatic weather systems. Within a cavern, doom drone excavations stir a vestigial swarm of debris to reveal specters of the ancestral or hunger-spun hallucinations thereof. Synth, guitar, lap steel, double bass.

xiphiidae – material mind – maggot valley

$7 Add to cart

its hard to sum up the actions and experimentations of a brilliant mind. Jeffry Astin in general is a pioneer of his creations and has created several new genres/styles of music all of his own hands, and counting
all of us who collect his recordings know this, if you are new to his music, and you love the music that is out on other labels similar to this one, i recommend you find as much as you can for the experience in general…dabble into the man, he will show you new faces of music
the beauty of xiphiidae is that you never know what you’re getting yourself into. a weaving tapestry of layered collauge of sounds from so many sources, it could be composed and conducted with instruments, or it could be all random/found/selected/lost and found ressurected, or the hidden brought into our light….all sprouted from the rich magnetic soil that is the mind of Housecraft Jeff. for his fans: the man IS a state of mind, and his past and present will continue in our personal history books in music ALWAYS. have a listen to the sample of “frangrence in color” and let yourself get swept into getting this tape. creep art menace by maggot jeremiah, the 1 and only. this is a produb edition
