Bestial Mouths – ‘Hissing Veil’ LP $16
Hissing Veil, Bestial Mouth’s debut, is 40 minutes of intense gloom. A meditation on the relationship between transgressor and victim conceived in a flurry of automatic writing, Hissing Veil is an urgent declaration revealed in a barrage of primitive rhythms and feral calls. Uncompromising, beautiful synth and beat driven compositions haunted by deep and brooding female vocals. Los Angeles’s finest. Limited to 500 hand numbered copies on clear vinyl.

Lord Foul – ‘Killing Raping Burning/The Devil’s Advocate’ LP $16

The record is limited to 100 on red, 400 on black, and comes in a thick cardstock matte finish sleeve with new foil embossed artwork.  Edition of 500. single sided, etched vinyl.

GNOD – ‘Chaudelande Volume I’ LP
Formed in 2006, mancunians GNOD started their last european tour to date by spending a couple of days in the Studio Chaudelande, a small house made of bricks and passion, somewhere in the Normandy countryside (France). They recorded new songs that are now released as a two volumes LP serie on Tamed Records. “Chaudelande Volume I” contains three songs which demonstrated the multi-faceted universe of GNOD. From the heaviest spacerock parts they ever recorded to meditative neo-folk mantra influenced moments of calmness and introspection, this new recording marks a new step in GNOD cosmic procession. Double bass guitar, percussive heavy drum, that met sound of bell.Some quite part were recorded outdoor between birds and trees, that give a timeless mood to the record. Result shine like a versatile light, eyes burn by the moonlight and the twilight. “Chaudelande Volume I” is the first release on Tamed Records schedulded for october the 20th and we’re happy to start the adventure with such a great record ! Front cover photo by Chris Haslam, rear cover painting by Alice Dourlen. Recorded by Bertand Duchemin at Studio Chaudelande in april 2011. Mixed by Neil Smith and Gnod at Rhytmyc. Mastered by Paul O’Brien at Pobaudio.  500 copies on white vinyl.

CHICALOYOH – ‘Les fantômes sortent des racines’ 7″
First vinyl release for local solo artist Alice Dourlen, “les fantômes sortent des racines” presents two new tracks which always combine multi-instruments and haunted vocals. Chicaloyoh has already released several tapes on Brave Mysteries, Digitalis and Bumtapes. This time Chicaloyoh changed its creative process : no loops were used but only live recordings creating a dynamic result, with richer arrangements and a more complex and evolutive writing. Chicaloyoh integrated more drums than before, and for the first time, rythmic bass parts. On “les fantômes sortent des racines” Chicaloyoh well develops its nice sense of spread melody, like a contemplation chant sung by wraith. If you’ve being charmed by Inca Ore or Pocahaunted, don’t be afraid to follow this new priestess. When the sun goes down it’s not easy to know if the forest will help or annihilate you, pursued by ghosts, surrounded by living roots. Recorded at her home in the Normandy countryside : studio chaudelande.  Artwork by Alexandra Waliszewska. Recorded by Bertand Duchemin at Studio Chaudelande in july 2011. Mastered by Antoine Quoniam in september 2011. 300 copies on red vinyl.

GARY WILSON – ‘Forgotten Lovers’ LP
Edition of 1000 – Jackets printed by VG Kids.  First vinyl issue of this collection of rare and unreleased material by one of the most iconoclastic musicians produced by the 1970s. Wilson’s 1977 LP, “You Think You Really Know Me”, is a classic of alternate-universe lounge-wave, and has been cited as choice by everyone from the Residents to Beck Hansen. “Forgotten Lovers” includes unreleased studio tracks from the same period, subsequent single tracks, as well as samples of Wilson’s pre-“You Think You Really Know Me” records (a single and an album) which were more in a porn-soundtrack-jazz-funk vein. Gary has reanimated his career in the last decade, and we raise our hats to him for doing so, but his early stuff is really the donkey’s eyelids. A classic bizzaro world blend of various “real people” elements and explosive new wave dynamics. As rich as butter, you’ll want to spread this music on your torso to promote tanning.

THE HAPPY JAWBONE FAMILY BAND – ‘Okay Midnight, You Win’ LP/CD
Edition of 1000. The second LP (fifth album) by this Vermont / Colorado quintet finds them traipsing ever deeper into the kind of mythic American territory we usually associate with bands who view our landscape from far outside it’s windows. Think of Australia’s Triffids or New Zealand’s Renderers and cross their brilliant Southern Hemisphere inventions with truths only wrenchable from the heart of the beast. There’s a genuine ruralist hoot factor here so smooth that it hits like a ton of silk, but there’s enough killbilly undertow to keep everyone standing nervously around that jug of magic moonshine.  This is available as separate LP and CD editions with identical artwork.

Gianni Giublena Rosacroce – ‘La piramide di sangue’
That is the new solo project by Stefano Isaia, the singer and frontman from our beloved Movie Star Junkies. Accompanied by his mate Dedalo666, Stefano – here as Gianni Giublena Rosacroce – explores new sounds closer this time to the Middle-Eastern shores of the Mediterranean. Armed with clarinet, cans, drums and percussions, piano and acoustic guitars, the duo has just plotted the debut album “La piramide di sangue” (“The blood pyramid”).  Thirteen tracks like one texture of thin arabesques, woven with casbah flavours and North African sounds.  One record with a strong esoteric and cabalistic mood, musically influenced by Muhal Richard Abrams, Maurice McIntyre and Moondog foremost. Our second Yerevan Tape comes in a press of 100 with a free download code!
