Hototogisu - Some Blood Will Stick

imprec106 - CD - $11.99

Hototogisu is Matthew Bower (Skullflower/Sunroof!) and Marcia Bassett (Double Leopards). They've been laying down billowing sheets of tetonic guitar drone-noise since 2003 with the thickest possible helpings of vocals and electronics.
Some Blood Will Stick is a collection of tracks from their ultra-limited self produced label Heavy Blossom. Songs were taken from Swoon Scream (2004) and Awful Symmetry (2005) with one additional track. What makes this disc more than a simple re-release is the extraordinary scalpel re-editing by Matthew Bower and the crushing and invigorating mastering by Scott Hull at Visceral Sound making this one of the heaviest and most beautiful Hototogisu releases.

HOTOTOGISU
Ghosts From The Sun
$20 hand made edition photo
info, reviews & mp3
...we're out of stock on the mass produced version but we've got a some copies of a hand made edition done by the group. no two are the same.

.On this double cd The Hototogisu masterfully create a dense sediment of tetonic drone with the thickest layers of guitar, vocals and electronics. Elaborately arranged, The Hototogisu are obviously season sonic travelers, featuring the legendary Matthew Bower (Skullflower, Sunroof!) and Marcia Bassett (Double Leopards).
Ghosts Of The Sun is one enormous composition, nearing 2 hours in length, unfolded and nailed together in 7 movements. Starting with a slow drone electronic crawl and climaxing with crackling bone percussion buried howls of haunted minds, Ghosts Of The Sun cries out from beneath an earthquake of guitar feedback and distorion. Ghosts Of The Sun compresses eternity, from the creation of humanity to it's own destruction, into 7 parts on one double album. This is epic and total sonic overload, by way of The Hototogisu.

Welcome Home is less of a homecoming and more of a coming out for Carlos Giffoni, a highly respected and active NYC collaborator who typically shares the stage and records with the likes of Jim O'Rourke, Nels Cline, Chris Corsano, John Duncan, Massimo, Thurson Moore and many others. Giffoni has long been the experimentalists experimentalist and now on Welcome Home, his first official full length, finds him center stage where he belongs.

KAWABATA MAKOTO
O Si Amos A Sighire A Essere Duas Umbras?
$11.99
info, reviews & mp3
AMT shirts available

O Si Amos A Essere Duas Umbras? is comprised of two epic, deeply meditative, spiritual and transcendental compositions. Track one, titled "Ses Aintro ‘e mene finzas Si Ses In S'Atter'Ala E Su Mundu" is the very first solo track Kawabata has ever recorded on an acoustic guitar. Filtered through 3 reverb units and a single delay this epic acoustic track starts off droning but quickly builds with reverb drenched and finger picked momentum light years away from any of Kawabata's solo guitar work.

"...Weaving shimmering phrases and drones, Makoto
brings to mind the soundscapes of Robert Fripp's more
recent solo releases, especially Fripp's collaboration
with Jeffrey Fayman, A Temple in the Clouds..."

FE-MAIL
Syklubb Fra Haelvete
$11.99


"'Out of Norway comes the most exciting noise LP I've heard to date. These two women romp thru stimulating noise compositions fresh and clean w/ a distinct Scandinavian frost. But there's always an undercurrent of warm embrace, sweet and masterful.' -- Thurston Moore. Already an incontestable figure of the Scandinavian music scene, Maja Ratkje follows the release of her stunning first solo album, Voice (Rune Grammaphone), with Fe-Mail.
Together with fellow Spunk-ette Hild Sofie Tafjord, Ratkje improvises with analogue electronic gear, samplers, voice, harmonica, and miscellaneous acoustic instruments to shape a more defined and delicate, if such a word can in any way define the realm in which Fe-mail evolve, series of soundscapes."

4 GUITARS
Live At Luxx
$11.99
info, reviews & mp3
Carlos Giffoni, Nels Cline, Thurston Moore & Lee Ranaldo
Infinite possibilities are explored as the signature styles of each of the group members create moments of tension, peace, violence, and run trough every possible range of emotions. psychodelic tunnels of sound echo trough endless guitar lines, minimalism and maximalism both present in one moment, there are no solos and no selfishness, as 4 combine to create an unbeliabavle 40+ minute piece. A document of pure sonic exploration of a moment in time that will never be repeated by 4 of the most respected experimentalist of our day.
