AUSTRALIA - Industrial / noise

[Peterson]

Jesus, that's a huge compliment. Thanks. I strongly vouch for everything Index Clean has put out, especially Mark's projects. I'd go as far as to say those unfamiliar are straight up missing out. Goes way beyond music, genres, etc into audio art and storytelling territory.

Oh, and you might see something from yours truly in the future, but still tentative. ;)

Short plug - I've just listed a small amount of noise and industrial related tapes on Discogs. Check the classifieds post for a complete list

Might be an opportunity to mention my label Index Clean, though as a lurker around here I'm increasingly aware it may be of only peripheral interest. Not really three-hole balaclava territory, you know? I'm based in Melbourne, though I've started releasing material from O/S folk also. Did a recent batch of 3LPs and a compact disc. Samples and other information can be found here. I've learned through this process that attempting to sell vinyl to people overseas from Australia is a fraught proposition at best in 2019 - regardless I'll be continuing to release material (albeit on more postage-friendly formats) in the future.

Came to Index Clean through the Von Einem collection, which is one of my favorite things I've heard as far as contemporary P.E. goes. Always keen to see what the label / you are up to. Got the Of Habit LP recently and really enjoyed it.

Try Arum Lilies, Von Einem's side-project:

Saw this earlier in the thread and checked it out, really good - will be gripping the CD.

I've got Index Clean 01 & 02 CDs still available. Anyone interested just shoot me DM or e-mail.

If anyone is interested in the live side of things, I've been doing a bit to record many of the demonstrations, gigs, whatever you want to call them in the Brisbane area as of late. The sound is pretty quiet so maybe turn up the volume.

Pretty sure Totenrune will be dropping some really good stuff in near future.

I think so, yeah. Karl's stuff has been great so far, and I'm happy to see someone pulling it back down into the gutter.

I've had a few people ask about activity lately, there's a split 7" and 4 compilation tracks out before/around year's end on various labels and formats.

Essential Minerals, anyone? I've been jamming some of the youtube stuff all morning. Picks of the bunch I've found so far are CC, The Year of the Sex Olympics, Troth and and Faecal Flower.

My favourite Essential Minerals release remains the LG self titled cassette from 2015:

It's a shame the 2019 release Dysfunctional Aesthetics contains none of the damaged tape gunk of that glorious 2015 work. The Stasis Duo release from 2015 is really great too, and from the 2019 batch I like the Raum duo recording - especially the ultra spare B-side piece. Definitely one of the more interesting Australian labels currently - maybe a little indebted to Breakdance The Dawn?

It's come out of the same climate, and I believe there is a crossover between the persons responsible for releases on both labels. Saw LG live last year and thought the set dragged on a bit, but that may just be me. The Dysfunctional Aesthetics tape and this set were both a fair bit clearer, pushing into the ethereal realm.

Raum I think are also one of those groups that translate better to a solo listening experience. Wasn't a fan of the couple of live sets I've seen, but the recorded material was a pleasure to hear.

A friend's project just got a nice pro tape reissue

Thanks for the heads up, brought this and it's prime aussie noise.
It's got depth and grit.
They have another release up on Bandcamp.
Recommend.
