Altered States Tapes.
If you're not already aware, Canada's
Fossils have carved out a unique groove for themselves over the last half-decade on labels including Kye, Fag Tapes, Chocolate Monk and their own imprint, Middle James Co. On "Drooling Hercules", core-Fossil David Payne is joined by Daniel Farr and Josh St. Denis on the A and B side respectively. These stripped down manifestations of Fossils provide some of the most interesting sounds I've heard from them thus far. More fried minimalism than total harshness, both sides present a blend of tape loops, synth, guitar, electronics and, most importantly,
room sound, creating a sonorous headrush fit for a king. I'm not sure how many I've made so far, the run will be somewhere between 40 and 60 I guess.
Coming in the next few weeks is a harsh secretion from Detroit native,
Andrew Coltrane and split between Melbournian musique concreters
Oranj Punjabi and
Reunion Sacred Ibis. Many more releases, including a cassette of
Black Leather Jesus are coming out sometime...
