For this release, the first in a proposed series, the Portland, Oregon-based producer - real name Kevin Palmer - delved deep into his archive and unearthed a cache of drum machine experiments recorded between ‘92 and ‘97.

**Pro-duped, remastered cassette with silkscreened J-card. Includes download code redeemable from the label** Forced Nostalgia's 2nd tape release is scarred with the sounds of Sermonizer's other project, Sobillator Sisters. Originating in Bologna, Italy circa 1988, the Sobillator Sisters project would appear to vent a more atonal, viscous and buckled sound than the Sermonizer output (though, to be fair, we've only heard his split with Cicciolina Holocaust). We'd have to classify it within the realms shared by the Milanese master of destructive atmosphere, Maurizio Bian… Read more

Both artists operate between the fields of drone and neo-classical to subtly contrasting effect. Gresson's piece 'The Last Tram' is the darker of the two, capturing a cold mid-winter atmosphere of mechanical drones and buckling metallic scree seemingly free of human interaction yet poignantly reflecting his studies on the relation… Read more

**Edition of 500** Von archives, where have you been all our lives?! Part of our introduction to this fine Italian boutique imprint is this awesome documentary-cum-sound experiment pairing Carlos Casas' footage and field recordings made in the classic Russian Vezdekhod tank with a deconstructed soundtrack by Dominick Fernow aka Prurient (aka Vatican Shadow). The all-terrain Vezdekhod tank is the primary mode of transport for most folk in Siberia. Carlos Casas captured a seemingly bum-bruising journey in one of these things somewhere in the tundra of Chukotka Region, Northeastern Siberi… Read more

**Edition of 500** Celebrated American sound artist John Duncan presents "a microscopical audiovisual study on pornography" on Italy's Von Archive. 'The Tailing' was premiered at 'Three Days Of Struggle' in Vittorio Veneto on 21st February, 2010. Slow, keening Hammond organ improvisation is entwined with shadowy, oily monochrome visuals in an extended, tantric, morphing scan of what we can only presume are writhing bodies, but never becomes clear.

Album number four from America's "toppermost of the poppermost", Sic Alps, and number two for their pals at Drag City. The small stars and stripes on the front cover gives good indication of what's in store; they've largely dropped the distortion and upped the country/Americana quota, becoming a much more "mature" prospect than their endearing garage exploits for Siltbreeze, Woodsist, Important et al. It's essentially American pop music with heaps of classic references regurgitated in their knowing style, a sound which apparently caused Stephen Malkmus to claim they would be "one of the most im… Read more
