about

Welp, this isn't NEW new, but it's NEW to you. We had a few things set aside for a few things after we broke up in 2008.. there was maybe a one sided LP that we did some versions of, and there were two "benefit" things we had cobbled together for a few buddies around that time. If I remember correctly Nick demolished his knee skating and didn't have insurance.. and Joe got all of his sick gear stolen out of his car while he was on tour. NOT COOL. but those problems got solved a few different ways so the comps never had to come out, and the files got lost in the sauce of each of our own manifestation of post-YS chaos. We forgot they existed. So we started digging in to things while we were working on our archival project in 2019-2020, and these files, along with a few others, were dug up and we were faced with a bit of a conundrum... the idea to release these tracks got a few wrenches tossed in since we didn't catch for a few months that one of the tracks was basically a third version of a track from Being There and Going Places. That version's not on here.

So yeah, we've been batting around ideas for this stuff for a bit, tossed around some edits.. MULLED a whole lot.. and here we go. a nice little c30 recorded in our practice space in the basement of Rotture in 2007-8. There's a whole lot of huff and puff going on here that didn't really fit into Drowner or those other guys we recorded around the same time. Vibe is heavy, at times almost metal or completely garbagey anemic beats. IDK. Some good stuff in here. So, not NEW new, but hopefully some NEW NEW tapes soon...

Hey UK/EU fans, you can pick this thing up via Boomkat either now or very, very soon

about

Yellow Swans Portland, Oregon

From their 2001 founding to the duo’s final shows (and subsequent hiatus) in 2008, Gabriel Mindel Saloman and Pete Swanson aka Yellow Swans carved an influential path through America’s experimental music underground, at the axis of noise, psychedelia, industrial, drone, and hardcore. Their music is restless, ragged, and forever in flux, untethered and unresolved. ... more

An excellent collaboration yielding melancholic and unsettling looping noise with ethereal vocals, tinged with a bit of 80s horror synth. Highly recommend! cedarshims
