JIM HAYNES "Turbulence" LP [mitteilung 40]
Turbulence is a prequel of sorts, with two twenty minute studies in smoldering noise and concretized electricity, as evinced through shortwave radio, corroded metal-on-metal, and glass being vibrating just shy of the point for shattering.
Thick, fluttering, heated rays of sound building a slow tension of rhythmic, oppressive structures. Piercing, crackling tones increase and decrease, layered with icy cold precision. Muffled segments of basspressure enters and are abruptly cut short, leaving just enough room to breathe inside the mechanical stasis.
Edition of 250 copies in printed color sleeves with hand-drilled holes of varying amounts, size and placing.

OCHU "Lähmung Des Wartens" 12" [mitteilung 26]
Continuing the themes surrounding "Unproduktiw", this time set in a maritime context. A tedious reality of qualm and levitation, lodged in the borderlands between the infinite and the conclusion. A partly accidental sound diary with ties to deep water, daydreaming and the futile attempts to create contentment with life under the omen of declining years. The clutching at straws and the stillness that enters when there is no remedy.
Though occationally chaotic, this new EP is rather restrained throughout, less layered and treading a line between peculiar exploration and restful boredom. Sifting through the debris of the beach, the tactile screech of derelict bunkers and incessant waves that makes the hull creak. The distance to the abyss.
Thanks are due to "Blasphemous Rumours" by the Nocturnal Emissions.
Edition of 239 copies in printed and hand stamped color sleeves with manilla tag and two inserts.
Copies of both releases available right now from Millstone Vinyl in Sweden and soon hopefully also from a lot of distributors. Please get in touch.
