BLACKHOODS – ‘SUNK’ CS
awesome dub-sludge processional headbang magic by this hooded UK duo.
dread riffs, bodies hidden in the moors, the whole vibe. hand-stamped
and numbered.
RUSSIAN TSARLAG – ‘LIVING IN THE PAST’ CS
we’ve tsang the Tsarlag’s praises a hundred times, and each time feels
more merited than the last. stunning 6-song collection on Gonzales’s
new Wasp Video Roadhouse imprint. if we’d heard this earlier it woulda
topped our Best Of 2013 list over all the riff-raff out there.
BOBBY DRAINO – ‘BRAIN DRAIN’ 12″
one of the best SILK’s of this long weird year slides in under the
buzzer. dynamic blasted acid encrusted over fried analog rhythms – a
lot of people do this shit but few do it this well. one day people
will realize how sick this is; hopefully we’ll be alive.
ROBEDOOR – ‘CITY OF SCUM’ CS
a stray parcel of six copies salvaged from the October European tour
of this Tokyo-dubbed industrial cave ritual assemblage. when these are
gone they’re gone.
