GOODGRIEF COMMUNE
'An Eventual History of Longue Durées' (2xCD/CS/DL)

Double disc reissue of sold-out triple cassette boxset.

'An Eventual History ...' documents the commune in longfrom oversaturated glory. Tracing a series of glazed mungouts, they hit record on found cassette recorder, exude shambolics till the spool grinds to a halt. Personnelle invade and vanish as they please, some group together to play a handful shows, then dissapear without end or trace. Total brokedown freejazz hemorrhage.

CROSS BROTHERS
Live at Rat Palace (CS/DL)

New cassette from Tasmanian mainlanders, Cross Brothers (siblings Daniel and Patrick Cross). 'Live at Rat Palace' documents a recent performance at the artist run space in their former hometown of Hobart. Devolving the audience's collective ear with thirty minutes of unraveling guitar munge, punctuated by unwound anti-rhythms at every turn. 'Live at Rat Palace' follows Cross Brothers on a descent into vertical nihilism, plenty of horrors escaping their twin six stringers before settling in the void.

RUBBISH THROWERS
Tapeworms (7"/DL)

Byron Coley's Top 10 in Size Matters, WIRE

"Deep and dark sub-industrial banging and swirling. Title cuts sounds like a satanic Swell Maps. Total deadman post-punkrock clang. 'Weak Eyelids' is the antipodean answer to Lamps, but without any of Monty's good-naturedness. Out of step rhythm-n-burl. B-Side has a atmospheric droner backed with an explosive Gordons-like banger called 'Willworker'. Heavy and dark stuff from Melbourne via Tasmania, highly recommended."

–Terminal Boredom

PSYCHIC BAGGAGE
Psychic Baggage (CD/DL)

"Built around stumbling drum improvisations, indistinct, hazy waves of six-string drone, and meandering, slack-stringed guitar lines that tangle and buckle like power-lines under stress, this self-titled debut is gorgeously indistinct. At its most powerful, like the sprawling 'Drums Meet Guitar', the spray of mottled tones recalls similarly potent explorations by The Dead C, or English post-punk pioneers This Heat. It's beautifully humid, deoxygenating stuff."

–Jon Dale, Uncut

ACTUAL HOLES
High Horse Oblivion (CS/DL)

Operating in duo mode here, Actual Holes deliver two distinct sides to their approach with thissun. Side one comes over like a loose hovercraft of trodden-on key, six string wash 'n drums what work their way to the sky. The flipper sees a slow rise of breath 'n brushwork step thru weird manoeuvres till a clangin deluge of skree with blasted thunder pays-off. VU meters soar into the red. Crude jazz, a good deal of bad times but beauty there be.
