s/t Attic Cassettes No Cat Cassette £6.99 New release on Marc Piley’s great new Scottish cassette label, dedicated to extreme DIY damage and loner, oddball sounds. This one is limited to 50 hand-numbered copies and documents a bunch of destroyed post-Harrry Pussy/Black Flag/Mouthus avant rock moves on guitar and drums that beautifully approximates the sound of several collapsing universe. These guys hail from the USA and take their name from a Jandek record. |

|
s/t Attic Cassettes No Cat Cassette £6.99 Another excellent new project from Marc Piley’s new Scottish cassette label in a hand-numbered edition of 50 copies. The Zees hail from Switzerland and play fractured drug-downs and de-tuned power dirges that tip the hat to the loose, declamatory style of early electric Jandek, US Saucer, early Royal Trux et al. |

Attic Trunk Attic Cassettes No Cat 4xCassette Box £24.99 Massive new box set from Marc Pilley aka Zach Kerouac on his own Attic Cassettes imprint. A hand-numbered edition of only 25 copies, Attic Trunk comes in an oversize moulded plastic case with wraparound colour art. The sonics represent the most formally-challenging fork in the eye yet from Marc, with huge pile-ups of Industrial harmonica, the klang-on-klang of post-Sonny Murray drum kit detonations and the most evocative use of realtime reel-to-reel loops and F/X, making it sound like a Masonna/Harry Pussy jam as tape-doctored by Brian Eno circa Roxy Music’s For Your Pleasure and ripped straight to cassette. Another monster. |

|

s/t Attic Cassettes No Cat Cassette £6.99 Excellent cassette from this mystery unit on Marc Pilley’s Attic imprint, with a set that starts off with some watery-sounding solo guitar that doesn’t sound like John Fahey or Loren Connors but somehow inhabits the same universe before fading into muzzy drones and psych keyboards in a way that recalls the pastoral violence of Flying Saucer Attack or These Wonderful Evils.

Candle & Fog Pts 1&2 Attic Cassettes No Cat Cassette £6.99 Hand-numbered edition of 50 copies cassette album from the trio line-up – Scott Foust, Karla Borecky, Matt Krefting – of Idea Fire Company. “IFCO have been fiddling with candle & Fog since 2007 and this is a nice version. Different instrumentation than is usual for us with Karla playing guitar, Matt Krefting manning the synth and me on bass. Very static and organic. Not a million miles away from some of the extended bits of the wonderful Gilbert & Lewis records. I originally edited this in two ten minute chunks for a C20, but I have to admit it sounds pretty nice all on one side with a side of waste.” – Scott Foust. |
