Heavy Seals
Jazz Bust

Troniks TRO-198

CD
£6.99


Trashed electronic improvisations that are as squelchy as your average jazz journalist’s egg-soft brain from the duo of John Wiese (Sissy Spacek) and Brace Paine (Die Monitr Bats/The Gossip). Harsh fusillades of metal-on-metal give way to more evocatively charged deep-field hallucinations and some pun-as-fuck industrial pile-ups. 11 tracks in seven minutes, six panel colour artwork in jewel case.

Damion Romero
Patch

Troniks 183

CD-R
£6.99


Part of a new collectable limited CD-R series of free noise blats all in uniform cheesecake/pin-up art sleeves, Patch is a recording from March 2005 by Damion Romero using David Scott Stone’s MOTM/Blacet modular synthesizer during one of the sessions that ultimately produced John Wiese’s Legs. Plenty of classically gurgling, almost vocal-articulate cumbersome synth tones alla early Russian broadcasts cut up with gulfs of framing silence.

The Cherry Point & NVH
Salt Killers

Troniks TRO-221

7"
£5.99


Psych/noise hook-up between The Cherry Point - currently hitting some kind of hyper-creative hotspot - and NVH aka Noel Von Harmonson of Comets On Fire.

Sixes
Cursed Beast

Troniks TRO-248

CD
£5.99


"The CD re-issue of the Highly-Acclaimed Sixes LP we released a few months back that sold out super-quickly. This is by far the baddest-ass of all Sixes material yet - yeah yeah yeah, every label thinks their Sixes release is the best, but here we're not lying: Originally to be called "The Beast", 2 years in the making, an 8-track reel-to-reel and a computer ruined twice, two teeth pulled and a resulting throat abscess requiring hospitalization in the interim. The frustrations and anger, the pain and set-backs all became hate:fuel for what was to become the "The Cursed Beast". Heavy rhythms, harsh swirling sounds, buried vocals seething in ugly, ruined and destroyed guitar wreckage and synth gnarl, structured and formed into arguably one of the best releases of 2006. Ever wonder what would've happened if Crash Worship ADRV had been influenced solely by Chrome, look no further. When we first received the material, intended for a cassette release, we knew it had to be to on vinyl. After releasing the vinyl we realized that this material was just too good to be limited to a mere 200x copies, Troniks was down for co-releasing it to CD and here we are. Packaged as a miniature version of the LP, ever so beautifully by the kind folks of Thingmakers: 3 color cover (black on gun-metal silver on gold on black) with mini-insert, each cover is slightly different in alignment (mimicking the screen-printed original). Edition of 1000 copies." - Enterruption.
