Himukalt's
Vulgar CD
Found Remains is proud to present the rerelease of the long sold out Himukalt album, Vulgar, on pro Digipak CD. Originally released on cassette in 2017 by No Rent Records, Vulgar has been remastered by Grant Richardson (Gnawed). It includes two new songs for the format, "Not In This Body," originally released on the Through a Glass Darkly compilation cassette, and "Want You To See Me (The Voyeur Tapes #15)," an exclusive bonus song. The CD release also features new collage work by the artist accompanied by a 16 page booklet.Vulgar marked a turning point for Himukalt's Ester Kärkkäinen, the artist behind the fervent industrial noise project. Having already released a couple of stellar albums on labels such as The Helen Scarsdale Agency and Angst, within a year no less, Himukalt honed the aggression and desperation of her previous works into a brooding album of aural confessions. Reflections of Atrax Morgue and Genocide Organ can be heard throughout
Vulgar, but the sonic dynamics and the pacing of the album is what makes
Vulgar so unique. With very personal lyrics purposefully buried under all the rumble as if to still keep some distance between the artist and listener,
Vulgar only continues to grow in depth and strength with time.

Kjostad's
Environment Electronics CD
Found Remains is proud to present the rerelease of the sold out full length Kjostad album, Environment Electronics, on pro Digipak CD. Originally released on cassette in 2018, Environment Electronics has been remastered by Grant Richardson (Gnawed). It includes two new songs for the format, "Regression," originally released on the Through a Glass Darkly compilation cassette, and "Arrowhead Killer," an exclusive bonus song. The CD release also features completely new artwork.Ithaca, NY's Kjostad brings forth another panoramic display of nature woven with layers of carefully arranged static textures on
Environment Electronics. Kjostad is the moniker of Stefan Aune who is also responsible for the frantic harsh noise project Breaking The Will, in addition to running the prolific New Forces label. Where Breaking The Will ambushes the listener with guerilla noise tactics, Kjostad utilizes the same deft hand for a more organic tapestry of man-made and natural sonics. Capturing the sounds in locales such as rural Wyoming and Minnesota, Aune takes these moments and introduces layers of electronics and magnetic tape, not just blending the two but utilizing the strong qualities of both to achieve an even more impactful statement that expresses the ultimate power of pure sound. Humans will create civilizations only for them to be eventually consumed by sand and vines. (Text by Luke Tandy)
