sean mccann - "sincere world"
"Listening to new work from Sean McCann is always an exciting prospect. Go far back into this young pioneer's catalog and you'll without a doubt uncover a collection of music as diverse as it is long. What you may also notice is the consistency with which Sean portrays himself.
His music is always fearless, frank and personal. Sincere World is another turn toward Sean's signature earnestness. Open Resolve and The Capital, both cleverly laced with swirling filter manipulation and confounding superimposition of manic and sloth-like compositions, exposed us to a more playful side of McCann's persona.
These works are on the surface a bit zany, but deeper down they still maintain a charming character—something that draws the listener in magically. Sincere World is the somber younger brother to these two. Sincere World is adrift on Badalamenti-like lethargy, skeptical of the world around and unsure of what to do about it.
But despite his bashfulness, he is every bit as charming and perhaps even more so, for there are no rough edges on him. In six movements, Sean takes us from under the bed to behind the bleachers and finally, to the bottom of the sea. Recorded mostly in 2009,
Sincere World has after two years in hiding, finally mustered the audacity to come out into the open. This is the world Sean McCann lives in, and I want to do everything I can to live there too." - Michael Jantzvinyl version is limited to 380 copies.

bit more active. An extremely beautiful album entirely of sounds created by synthesizer and voice, this is an essential piece of the
Imaginary Softwoods discography that you are sure to love. Pressed in an edition of 535. 150 on a clear / white mix and the remaining
385 on clear .
"the path of spectrolite" has been repressed. an additional 200 on clear and 100 clear / white mix copies.

Ranky Tanky and is now ready to shine on vinyl. This record collects all the songs from the original cassette release and includes one
previously unreleased instrumental.

Providien - "Followed By A Wraith"
“the midwest is a real shangri-la for bohemia basement bleakness so it’s not real surprising that loner tape grime duo providien hail from the
snow-blasted state of ohio,and have a grim grassroots aura that just feels right. led by sword heaven electrician mark van fleet and
partner-in-crime/childhood friend nathan reynolds (also of weirdo goths american jobs), providien’s debut, “followed by a wraith”, sprawls
from disembodied horror atmospherics to no-fi sludge death marches to pure weirdo home-taper acoustic guitar meltdowns,
each new zone more unsettling and brainwashed than the last. has elements of mammal (especially the recent drone-suicide ballads),
the shadow ring (just replace all the british stuff with raw american sloth), and various other esoteric cassette miserablists,
but that’s just a roundabout way of saying this shit rules.” - britt brown
the lp is limited to 200 copies on black vinyl with a paste on artwork.
all copies come with an insert included with album info and tracklist printed on cardstock or transparency.
