John Wiese
Tumbler
No Fun No Cat
LP
£12.99
"Total Head Crush Destruction from Mr Wiese (also of Sissy Spacek and LHD, works with Sunn 0)), etc,etc), if your head was made out of a boulder the sounds here enclosed are still designed to leave behind nothing but blood stain dust. Side A is the eternal acid rain that we all fear slowly melting your skin away and reminding of your insignificant humanity, Side B is a metallic behemoth continously punching you from all directions leaving you with just enough unbroken bones so that you can breath. Another No Fun Classic. Limited to 300 no re-press ever." - No Fun.

Pain Jerk & John Wiese
Terrazzo
Harbinger Sound Harbinger-055
CD
£8.99
Classic ultra-fucked electrified noise barrage that seems to reflect more on the early-90s pornographic Merzbow sound et al than anything currently beating its head against a rock. Just chaos blurts of white noise catharsis cut up with quizzical gloops down the plughole where you feel like a cartoon roadrunner, still peddling in mid-air while rainbows explode into shards of glass and crystal. A fantastic blast of old school noise from these old school boize: John Wiese and Kohei Gomi aka Pain Jerk. Recorded by mail October 2005.

John Wiese/C. Spencer Yeh
Live In Nottingham
LP
£12.99
New limited edition LP on Spencer Yeh of Burning Star Core’s ‘bootleg’ label, What The…? Records that documents a live set from the duo of Yeh and John Wiese recorded live in Nottingham in 2007. Wiese’s surgical approach to extreme electronics is in full effect here, but there’s something in the way he sculpts Yeh’s extreme vocal poetics and scuttering violin that makes the whole piece seem conceived as a single composition, moving from punk primitive DIY violence into more sublimely irradiated noise vectors. Edition of 330.

Young And Ruthless
Blossoming Noise BN003
CD
£6.99
CDEP that rescues the debut album from Phil Blankenship (The Cherry Point) and John Wiese (Sissy Spacek/Bastard Noise/Dead Machines et al) from virtual oblivion. Intense machine noise coated in a blear of fog, tongue-slicing application of machine feedback and dynamic headbutts of glorious skull-blasting grudge. Edition of 1000 copies.

Metalux & John Wiese
s/t
Load 082
CD
£10.99
Great hook-up between US noise wunderkind John Wiese and viciously devolved electro duo Metalux. Churning, petrol-swilling rhythms, splats of hand-crafted analog splooch and eerie somnambulant doll vocals that are as spooked as any EVP transmission. Great one-legged sucker punch rhythms ala Wolf Eyes and a scrunchy neon atmosphere throughout.

Sissy Spacek
Devils Cone And Palm
Helicopter H-57
one-sided LP
£19.99
Edition of 100 copies self-released LP from prolific US noise artist John Wiese’s Sissy Spacek persona. A single 22 minute track, Devils Cone features Jesse Jackson on guitar, Corydon Ronnau on vocals and Wiese on everything else and the trio blast their way though vicious stop/start corridors of noise, crowd song, feedback and beautifully crunchy electronics with a dynamic that is truly re-arranging. Wiese is still one of the genuine auteurs of noise. Won’t be around for long.
