SOUND HOLES #037 | NO GOD RITUAL - S/T | C35
"First release from this introspective project. Tones float and dissolve into each other while a chiming pulls further into the unknown. Unraveling the beauty of things you may never find again. A desperate longing for peace."
Edition of 59
SOUND HOLES #036 | BBBLOOD - LAZAR HOUSE | C30
"Harsh sound synthesis. Perfectly deconstructed metallic/junk sounds collide with shards of texture meticulously drawn through the feedback heat. After the onslaught come the respite. Keep an eye on those fingers."
Edition of 70
SOUND HOLES #035 | ENDLESS TIME - PATIENCE | C20
"Kevin McEleney (Heavy Psych, Picasso Trigger) presents some material that lies in the after burn of his Droughter project. Grungy electronic work over the perceived serene calm of ambient drift."
Edition of 62
SOUND HOLES #034 | RELENTLESS CORPSE - AIN'T IT DEAD YET | C21
"Scum industrial from the troupe of Kirschner, Troxell, Howland and Russell. 4 tracks of blasted electronics and vexed vocals. All sounds left to rot in a barrel of stagnant filth before being committed to tape."
Edition of 57
SOUND HOLES #033 | RALE/3 HEADED MONSTER | C24
Bill Hutson's Rale project is moving from strength to strength, this side displays a momentous use of beauty and float turning it into something terrific. 3 Headed Monster is the new guise of William VanGorder (ex Other People's Children and Weak Sisters). 4 tracks of feedback and fast cut action react as a ferocious release to the culmination of the first side.
Edition of 102
SOUND HOLES #032 | PASCAL NICHOLS - ONE STONE TAKEN FROM EVERY MONUMENT TO FORM A WALL OF SILENCE | C20
Drum rituals, exploration into acoustic minimalism highlighting restraint with often uneasy moments of silence.
Edition of 53
SOUND HOLES #029 | HERE HARE HERE/HOBO SONN | C36
Split tape from these UK maniacs. HHH use counterpoint male/female vocals and turn them into great drooling dollops of derranged free sound. HS uses a single sound source and dissolves it into the finest hiss and crackle.
Edition of 61
SOUND HOLES #026 | BUDWEISER SPRITE - DANDRUFF MASSAGE | C20
"New release from the mind behind Together Tapes. A blast of loops all competing but never resulting in total clarity. Each individual strand demands your attention as they build to an intense creschendo of cacpohony! Daniel Rizer seems to utilise an array of sound sources and directs them all everywhere. "
Edition of 63
SOUND HOLES #024 | GHETTO FINGER - JULY 2008 | C21
"Private sounds from this duo based in Kansas. Been at it for 8 years, all they got was a ring. This cassette was recorded whilst living in Michigan and is another amazing example of the Michigan Underground Basement Sound. Broken instruments collide with analogue waves of tones. Probably something in the water..."
Edition of 36
SOUND HOLES #023 | SKY LIMOUSINE - HIGHER ENERGY | C21
"Fourth in the out(er) of space series. Slow drift from the ever prolific Sky Limo. Awesome drones fill the emptying space as a massive black hole chills everything. The sounds begin to have a life of their own turning into a creeping mass. A warning never listened to."
Edition of 55
SOUND HOLES #022 | WINDSOR DAMON BEAST/DEAD LABOUR PROCESS | C20
"2 members of the skrill/skronk group MUSCLETUSK lay waste to a side of cassette each. Nuff said."
Edition of 53
SOUND HOLES #021 | UUHUU - ORGANFIGURES FOR FLYNT | C20
"An amazing release from Marcel Türkowsky. The 2 sides of this tape could describe the remnants of an ancient race. Slowly decaying leaving behind only memories and the delicate ruins of their time. The sound of bells carresses your memories as the undertones begin to pull you back into a time drenched in the past. The bells will ring forever..."
Edition of 72
SOUND HOLES #019 | SINDRE BJERGA - STRAY BULLET | C42
"Bleak and minimal (industrial) drone from Bjerga. Both sides of this release are taken from live sets recorded late in 2007 whilst in the UK. During a tour when he was meant to play the Glass House (RIP) but unfortunately did not happen. On the B-Side additional sound is provided by Elektrodiesel. Play this loud."
Edition of 65
SOUND HOLES #018 | STEFAN KUSHIMA - UNSEEN RISING | C20
"SK drops a melting pot of drones based around vocal / guitar work as well as an array of otherworldy sounds. Guitar shards pierce through the drone like glacial stabs at the ocean. Both sides deliver detailed and controlled compositions, total burners."
Edition of 47
SOUND HOLES #017 | NOMA - PALIMPSEST | C20
"Ex pat JC blew a gaping hole in the Glass House (RIP) earlier this year when he turned up. This release is a continuation of the set he played that night. Abstract drone based around an abandoned feeling of longing. Beautiful swells of controlled tone anchor these pieces and allow the slightest details to emerge."
Edition of 52
SOUND HOLES #016 | SEAN MCCANN - MIRAGE WAREHOUSE | C20
"Jilted music for every occasion. Really good vibes coming off both sides of this tape. Found sounds / synths / vocals / layers combined to produce waves of mystery. Dream like visions appear before your eyes as the mist carries you away."
Edition of 69
SOUND HOLES #015 | MANDARIN CLIT - SEVEN SISTERS| C20
"Mangled guitar + ??/?? that forces its way into something recognisable for about 2 seconds before being replaced by something that you just heard outside. Straight up weirdo recordings from the warped mind that brings you SCUMBAG tapes."
Edition of 64
SOUND HOLES #013 | ABYSS WHISPERS - THE EYE | C20
"New recordings straight from the Glass House. New direction. Synth patterns/loops interlaced with fragments of damaged keyboards. Retaining that full on drenched sound: without her the world will simply stop and time will slow down to nothing and life itself will find its conclusion in the gaze and breath of a ravaged winter sky."
Edition of 53
SOUND HOLES #012 | ACRE - 1/2 ALIVE | C24
"Deep bass drone, shaking the very core of your being. Dissolve into murky pools of viscous medium, dragging everything down with you. Dense sound seems to envelop you, only to pull you deeper as you smear your way to flip the tape."
Edition of 81
SOUND HOLES #011 | MYSTIFIED - IGNITE & HOVER | C20
"Invisibility, what a drag. No one knows you're there. Life becomes a vague reality. These recordings could sound track your solitude as you waste away. Minimal yet packed with texture: A special collection of drones and field recordings from Mystified's studio. Very dark, very atmospheric."
Edition of 61
SOUND HOLES #010 | ALISTAIR CROSBIE/BM/DIVINE COILS/FAMILY BATTLE SNAKE | C14/C20
"4 approaches to destroying time. ALISTAIR CROSBIE hits with a mammoth drone fuzz out. BM serve up a soup of slow moving industirial static. DIVINE COILS play it minimal squeezing the air out of your lungs. FAMILY BATTLE SNAKE destroy with a thug life side that pins you to the wall then leaves. No explanation."
Edition of 101
SOUND HOLES #008 | DULL KNIFE |C22
"Second in the out(er) of space series. This one is beamed straight from an alien dust bowl in the sixth dimension. Smooth drones fill the vacuum until the whole sound scape drifts around for another millennia."
Edition of 68
SOUND HOLES #007 | CROW FEATHERS/VILLE MOSKIITO | C24
"CF hits with one side long piece of electronic weirdness and blown guitar playing. Incredibly hard to pin down whats going on next. VM drops 2 pieces of beautiful tones generated and perfected in the far out reaches of Finland."
Edition of 98
SOUND HOLES #005 | E. E - CERAMICS |C32
"No creeping. Straight up in your face. Can feel the synapses sparking and breaking from the energy off this dude. Unrelenting assault."
Edition of 68
