New recordings, first in an age, from the duo of Seymour Glass (Bananafish et al) and Barbara Manning (28^th Day etc), here joined on one track by Tom Lax of Siltbreeze. Glands Of External Secretion come out of the whole BUFMS school of homemade avant crank using guitars, vocals, keyboards, cut-up tapes and kitchen utensils to assemble disorientating sound works that have something in common with the whole Graham Lambkin/Tart/IFCO cultus while punking that particular brand of boo with a less austere/art praxis vibe and more of a doofy Scientific American/garage band feel. There are classical strings, water sounds and passages of pugilistic analog violence disrupted by distorted electric guitars played with boxing gloves or sudden scrabbles of phlegmy vocals before jump cutting back into a Space Invaders universe soundtracked by an idiot Stockhausen on keyboard. Pretty wild. Edition of 300 copies with Tyfus artwork in sleeves silkscreened by Jelle Crama.

“About 15 years too late! Finally out. This is the first 7" in a yearlong monthly series of limited 7"s that will really be all over the place. Anything goes: from the acid of Pierre Elitair to the mincecore of Agathocles or a prank by Frieder Butzmann! This first one could actually be an LP! As usual with noisecore, grind or mince, this one has more tracks on it than 5 LPs together! 10 songs by each band, Agathocles drills holes in your skull and pours in a cocktail of ass-grinding diarrhea recorded on a rehearsal right before their Mexican tour! This is no fancy pants studio recordings but the raw tapedeck deal, muffled grunts and painful fastness. On the flip side Sissy Spacek (aka John Wiese) takes it away with some Gerogerigegege styled noisecore shaving off your nose and eyelashes, feels like the recording is actually sitting in a giant amp!!!!! A brutal slap of preparé right there! Comes in a fold open cover design by Debby Tyfus with lyrics etc. Limited to 300 copies.” – DT.

Excellent collection of recent work from Antwerp’s Daniel Renders aka Cassis Cornuta, a European thinker who took a similar aesthetic stance to early Nurse With Wound and The New Blockaders way back at the dawn of the 70s, making anti-music, noise and art-prank statements using broken turntables, Korg synths, vacuum cleaners, fucked-up pianos, microphone feedback, primitively executed sound poetry and industrial debris purloined from Smegma. Cornuta’s story makes for a fascinating secret history that sheds further light on the culturally decimating power of avant garde theory in the hands of punk primitive kids, documenting a dramatic cultural engagement played out across countless long-lost cassettes and private performances. This new Ultra Eczema collection gathers material recorded between 2005 and 2009 and it’s dominated by lonely/minimal analogue keyboard work that comes out of the same solitary universe as Edmond De Deyster (indeed one doughball has already suggested they are one and the same person) while combining cracked drum machines, gurgling melodies and that classic fried middle-European avant punk appeal. A fantastic collection, edition of 300 copies with inserts and with multiple holes punched in the centre, should you want to skew the sonics even further. Highly recommended.

“The first time I've met Jeff Hartford aka moose jaw aka NOISE NOMADS was around 4 years ago in providence, a tense looking bear putting a mic in front of a amp, leaving the audience alone with a whale of feedback, pretty pretty pretty confused!! He walks out after kranking open the amp, a minute later a giant REAL Christmas tree walks thru the audience trying to find the way back to the amp, kicking people over, I guess this show was right after Christmas time and Jeff found it somewhere or he stared at a young kid that was about to decorate it. I was very impressed by his show, both sound and performance wise, there was a seriously intense vibe there, felt like he could snap at any given moment and squeeze you to death with a Christmas tree.. Noise Nomads' live sets are always strange, confusing and amazing, an amp iiiiiiiiiiiiiii-ing while the man goes running around the block, a mountain of amps that start talking after he picked a fight with them, a sludgier drummer does not exist. It was definitely not the last time the man amazed me, his duo set with PAUL FLAHERTY (which is released on American Tapes), the loner car rides I shared with him to his area in the valleys of Northampton, his amazing monthly zines and tapes, his drumming with grey skull, his drawings etc.. It's a total psycho package; everything is there; visuals, sounds and a great dude! The first side of this record was recorded a bunch of years ago and is just voice and tascam! An amazing swollen beast of sound poetry, gargling waanzin, and muffled barking! The b side is the same dude a few years later on his knees in my living room screaming thru a bass drum and a contact mic attached to a bunch of pedals, harsher than a prison full of parrots to be released! There should be more paintings like Kim Gordon's NOISE NOMADS!!!  Limited to 300 copies” – DT.

Fantastic collection of outlaw visual art and goofy photography from Dennis Tyfus, still the most cracked graphic artist to come out of post-Noise Europe. “A 60 pages zine made as a contribution to the "changez, een belgenshow" exhibtion at 21 rozendaal in een schede/holland. This zine collects the short period right before this exhibition. All work is made or found between November 4th, when Tyfus joined the subhumans of Hair Police on a tour through Europe and December 31st. Besides a lot of drawing in the tour van, this period included a residency at Codalunga in Vittorio Veneto (which also resulted in a exhibtion), a sinterklaas performance with Benjamin Verdonck, great second hand store found imagery, a ceiling fan party, a Jacques Beloeil show, a Ludo Nich show, and the first ever baking cookies attempt.. well collected in a 60 pages black and white zine (with a full color cover). Limited to 600 copies.” – DT.
