work/death - "to the hills of altadena" cs (jugular forest) $7.00
dense layers of conflicting harsh and ambience from scott reber (three songs of lenin).
bells and piano discovering a serene setting while harsh textures remind the temporary
nature of that very moment. the end of the rainbow, still downhill.
++
mirror to mirror - "the door with a lock" cs (jugular forest) $7.00
hazy synth recordings from alex twomey.
washed out upbeat melodies and slow chosen loops.
accepting what to let in/out of your life and moving on.
++
harpoon pole vault - "outside this area" cs (jugular forest) $7.00
solo project from jason e. anderson (gift tapes; half of brother raven).
spacey and melodic synth pieces. floating with nausea.
++
red electric rainbow - "ascending the divine" cs (jugular forest) $7.00
digital synth from daniel smith (neon blossom cassettes).
slow tones escalated by arpeggios increasing in tempo.
contrasting sides of playful energy against steady pacing.
++
human hands - "palus nectaris" cs (jugular forest) $7.00
"sci-fi synth/keyboard from cole miller (real life predator label). a mellow introduction descends into dark, rhythmic melodies further creeped out by obscure, delayed vocals. sustained keys juxtaposed against unsettling collages. edition of 75 cassettes."
yellow crystal star - "rainbow bridge to dream mirror orb" (jugular forest) $7.00
"unrestrained walls of guitar from mark billings. field recordings and guitar with more collage and straight *douche* than his previous tape on jugular forest. hidden mardi-gras energy. this is a different version of mark's upcoming LP on oms-b. edition of 75 cassettes."
++
pale blue sky - "souvenir" cs (jugular forest) $7.00
"pristine ambient synthesizer from mike pollard (arbor label). slow, beautiful tones contained in a quiet space while layers subtly form underneath. relationships between frequencies and cyclic repetition. far away music for memories. edition of 75 cassettes."
++
caged soprano - "the newspaper" cs (jugular forest) $7.00
"digital synthesis in a failed opera. fluorescent spotlight on an empty stage. coming of age musical lust. edition of 25 cassettes."
++
sttillbirth / persimmons pomegranate - "split" c15 (jugular forest) $6.00
two sides of pacing towards beauty from luke moldof (stillbirth; razors and medicine)
and alex twomey (persimmons pomegranate; jugular forest). stillbirth side is gentle guitar,
swelling memories during desolate times. persimmons pomegranate side is pulses blurring with
harmonics. the ugly truth.
edition of 75 chrome tapes, color covers, black and white labels.
++
mirror to mirror - "rerest" cs (jugular forest) $6.00
new project from alex twomey (persimmons pomegranate, jugular forest).
