Duane Pitre – Origin – LP & Download Coupon – $14
The entirety of origin’s musical material is comprised of the vibrating strings of pitre’s ensemble of bowed “harmonic-guitars,” which are unconventionally strung electric guitars (utilizing multiunisons) tuned to intervals corresponding with the harmonic series, a.k.a. just intonation. no effects processing (pre or post) was used in this recording. all effect-like qualities result from the multi-unison strings (phasing), sympathetic vibrations, combination/ difference tones (of the chosen just tuning), and natural acoustic phenomena as such. Edition of 300 LP’s.

Commen Eider, King Eider – Worn – LP & Download Coupon – $14
Now expanded to a four piece, Common Eider, King Eider have crafted yet another blast of high end wind chill that whips around the empty spaces in your skull.. More stories of flora & fauna that hang beautifully in dynamic rooms of piano, strings, voices and stargazing guitar explosions born of layer after layer of feedback. This ghost world is all gray and black, with a high condensation of loss penetrating throughout. Moonlight occasionally lights the path, but for the most part prepare to be lost in the woods. Liz Harris (Grouper) and Tom Carter (Charalambides) on the tracks ‘Ennui’ and ‘Earth Liver’ add to the overall sense of dread. Edition of 300 records with silkscreen covers done by the band.

Liz Harris – Divide – Book & DVDr – pre-order – $35 US /  $45 ROW
After months of work we are very happy to finally announce ‘Divide’, a book of drawings and an accompanying video by Liz Harris. Harris’ visual work runs in parallel to her music as Grouper, and often times overlaps into the same vision. ‘Divide’ maps out dense organic patterns, passages filled to the edges with overgrowth and  fractured geometry. Minimal strokes are taken to maximal repetitions to form complex mazes in high contrast. Other images float in space like hex symbols from prehistory, portals to some other place & time. The accomopany video (with soundtrack) of black & white Rorschach voids should be familiar to any one who has seen a recent Grouper show. Book is 7″ by 7″, 60 pages, soft cover with a color cover & black and white images. DVDR is all regions. Edition of 500. This is a pre-order. Books will ship in August.

Operative – “Ramp” b/w “Pulse” – LP $12 US /  $20 ROW
Born of soldering kits and home-made synth modules, Scott Goodwin’s Operative is an exercise in almost mathematical melody. Blurring the lines between psychoacoustics and the base structures of techno, Operative’s debut release is like having permanent sonic impressions burned into the tender fabric of your eardrums, or sunspots on your retinas from staring at the sun too long. This is music for the mind and body. Two tracks that bloom in the late night.

The Miracles Club – Light Of Love – LP $12 US /  $20 ROW
Debut booty shaker from Portland based group featuring Honey Owens on vocals. “‘Light of Love’ is like a love letter to 1989. It’s as blissed-out and buoyant as a Balearic hot-air balloon, with chiming pianos and ethereal vocals soaring up, up, and away, while raw 909 sequences keep everything tethered firmly to the ground” – Philip Sherburne
