Long time supporter of the label (our 1st review ever was a size matters mention in the wire magazine for the Junior Makhno single) Byron Coley has been talking about the Al Karpenter Lp here
rec of the day: AL KARPENTER "musik from a private hell" (bruit direct LP) less '79 UK DIY this time and more early '80s experimental drug pop, by another facet of the artist known as mattis. not quite a whipped as billy bao, but still swamped.https://t.co/O7hP1inlf2
rec of the day: TERRINE "les problemes urbains" (bruit direct LP) the new solo album by france's claire gapenne is berserk — electronics, collages, free jazz and oleo, all used as sparks to set what's left of dennis tyfus's head on fire. just marvelous. https://t.co/gLWBhmiXPr
Our records are now available in Antwerp at Wally’s Groove World (in a small and long street behind a bigger long street) and Brussels too at Veals and Geeks (small street perpendicular to two bigger streets), I mean the most recent ones and I believe at Balades Sonores (no idea where this is)
they stock older releases too and some can be found at 72 records (cause I saw them) of course we have a great supporter at Knotwilg (by the sea but mostly online) and here’s a video

yeah
Je ne sais pas pourquoi
Ah oui je sais
J’étais entrain d’écouter les holy modal rounders (que j’adore) et je me suis dit qu’ils avaient sûrement inspiré, en France, es endimanchés (que j’adore)
Je ne supporte pas tous ces trucs de reprises de musiques traditionnelles, revisitées comme une religieuse dans top chef et finalement c’est de la merde
Disons qu’il y a un rapport au travail
Dans ce qui m’intéresse
L’exploitation je veux dire , pas le travail
vous m’avez compris
Il y a peut-être des groupes de musiciens ouvriers agricoles

bien propres
essayent de remplacer les vieux
bourgeois
avec leur culture bien
à eux
bien mise, jolie
ils y arriveront
bien sur
par la force des choses
et auront
eux aussi
des enfants

some of you write to me
sometimes
I answer
also, in good clean
fun
sometimes
most of the time
I like to write here in this newsletter and make a point of
liking what I write
if you see what I mean
but today, no
there is a new record by mamitri yulith empress yonagunisan it is a double album, our third release of the year after the still available Thigh Master / Dag split 7″ and the (also double but in a very different way) Tori Kudo album ガラ刑GALAKEI. I hear it’s reviewed in the new issue of Wire along with the Yuzo Iwata album on Siltbreeze.
That is where I stop
to write
it just happens that a superior writer has been kind enough to write about the mamitri yulith empress yonagunisan record and it just happens that this writer is Tom Lax of said Siltbreeze label
that’s where I stop
and after an image
I quote:
The world of Mamitori is as beguiling as it is unchartered. Their, just previous to this, live album ‘Mamitori Ulithi Empress Yonaguni San-25/12/20/13’ (also on Bruit Direct Disques) fizzled the ears of pine-tops with its staggeringly great execution of Outsider ramble gnashing with No Wave rumble, creating a sound so unique, scribes stuttered on hiccups of comparison. Trying to “get it right”. If copies still exist, plonk down some cabbage & see what I mean. So when the check writers at Bruit said they were issuing forth a 2xlp of new material, all one could do was wait & wonder. It’s the line in the sand many dare not cross. The double lp format, in it’s purest distillation, exists as the medium to convey realizations of the most sprawling & unconventional design. And by God, if Mamitri Yulith Empress Yonagunisan latest deuce, ‘Yulith Lilith’, doesn’t ding all the right dongs, then ladies & gentlemen, I will cook your goose. The heart of their sound is beyond words, it’s more chaos theory, transmuting inside the eye of a hurricane. Imagine 10,000 blackbirds, perched in the trees above Tompkins Square Park, their shrill natter suffocating the air, while below Arto Lindsay spanges in tap shoes, his voice wavering fugue-like over the birds, while the clicking of his gait keeps a rhythm out of sync-yet completely on point-with the overall scheme. Or if 70’s era Faust had become outlaws, exiled themselves deep inside the Hokkaido landscape & for the rest of eternity tooled around Akkeshi Bay on speedboats, lustily consuming wild ales, sustaining themselves solely on plankton & oysters. Mamitri Yulith Empress Yonagunisan are Bushido code Circuit Rider & ‘Yulith Lilith’ is an unimpeachable masterpiece extolling the marauding valor of a band incapable of succumbing to convention. Housed inside transparent screen printed sleeves-resembling alien x-rays. It’s like the future just opened up. And guess what? It’s full of stars. One of my top picks of 2018 by a mile. Not to be missed.
– Tom Lax
this record is available right now only from us (and the band in japan) for a modest price, I mean a SPECIAL LAUNCH PRICE, I mean an UNBEATABLE price, but still AT A PRICE. and this price will be limited to the first 100 copies.
this, for several reasons, let’s list just two, the 1st one being that I have put together only 100 of those crazy sleeves (logistics!) and also that it is that we need to finance the other releases of the year the next one will be a delightful and serene and rather quiet (in an accident du travail kind of way) album by Leighton Craig (of Primitive Motion, Deadnotes, etc. himself too) and, yes, other records. they will all come
to you
and
thanks to you
too
you know
you know it
you know that if I write it is because there are some new releases
and you know it
is to sell those to you
you who know
and as this newsletter is rather infrequent maybe you already saw
that there is a split 7″ that we made for the split european tour of Thigh Master and Dag
they came and went, it was extra cool I can tell you
now all there is left is this 7″ record with 4 songs (and a video)
and you might have seen that the wire magazine advertised a video by our hero
tori kudo
this video is set to a track from ガラ刑GALAKEI
which is a 55 track double LP playing at 45rpm with a 56th track on a CD
tori kudo and maher shalal hash baz will be playing some european dates in march
too
did I forget to tell you about the femme lp named chroma ?
Femme is the duo of Arno Bruil (Descendeur / France Sauvage) and Jo Tanzprocesz (Fusiller / Opera Mort). Lush, foreboding & fantastical, ‘Chroma’s’ pocket universe of seductive dread could spook the sheen right off’ve Moebius’ Airtight Garage & there ain’t a damn thing Major Grubert or Jerry Cornelius gonna do about it.
also we have the latest sacred product, trendees and 2 copies left of the bent lp
You call this news ?!
