Putting forth sound with intermittent interjections. A heap of broken images.</i></div><br />
These seven pieces are composed primarily for piano and percussion, accompanied by musical saw, theremin, synthesizers, and voice, and layered with distortion and live electronic manipulations.<br /><br />
Bricolage, in essence, layers of references to high Modernist poetry, masterful works of contemporary solo piano, and esoteric philosophies, shift within expansive juxtapositions of harsh discordance, delicate contrapuntal melody, structured rhythmic pattern, and open, wild improvisation, to form tactile, textural whorls of episodic flux.<br /><br />
From deconstructing Russian composer Galina Ustvolskaya’s <i>6th Piano Sonata</i>, to mangling doctrines that prize verifiable statements and ego-motivated pleasure, <i>The Waste Land</i> articulates ideas of struggle with saturation, order, and clarity.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: right;"><i>...long after time had ceased to be noticed… we shared what we had found and then lost</i></div><br /><br />
The Waste Land is released as a Limited Edition of 50 hand-numbered, professionally dubbed, white shell cassettes, with full colour artwork by Andrew Wild, housed in a white-backed clear case, and digital download. <br /><br />

<p></p>Crow Versus Crow is delighted to present for your aural-spiritual consumption ‘Elvis Died and Everyone Is…’, from high-priest of vox-mung dicta-jaxx, Posset.
Two threads of ‘vocals’ and ‘tape’ seem to run through much Posset’s work, each often abstracted to pure texture, to pure concrete, each overlapping and blurring the others’ boundaries. Elvis Died and Everyone Is… further pushes these threads, weaving absurdist skit, deep croak throat drone, sludged free verse, layers of clipped skittering utterances, and writhing whorls of golden dicta scree into a fevered patchwork of dreamy hiss and fluttering treble.<br />
<br /><i>
“For fans of losing your train of thought in an important conversation, de-tuned longwave radio stations, fake Electronic Voice Phenomena, half-formed words dissolving on the tongue, lethargy, being too hot and itchy in an unfamiliar building, the intimate electric breath of damaged heater, overheard conversations on the bus, that faint tinkle, a relaxed confusion, nostalgic plimsoll squeak, getting lost in Leicester town centre, the wet crinkle of someone else’s leather jacket, watching the shopping channel with the sound off, cumin scented smoke, letting the wind take your breath away, not realising how long you’ve been staring into space, finding an old letter from an old friend, shopping list poems, dreams of drowning, DJ Screw mixtapes left out in the sun.<br />
<br />
Thanks for listening.”</i><br /><div><br /></div><div>Tape / £6</div><div>Digital Download / Name Your Price</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://crowversuscrow.bandcamp.com/album/elvis-died-and-everyone-is" target="_blank">Available now via the Crow Versus Crow Bandcamp</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc_MffQEg1Yd3wRtMr17s8sVp_iAgtdudU_T9JcPlQSiBoDY3z1EAv4PD_gNDbXk4mOoU-6D_0SnAzDPR8UoaR-xfOMag_T-aSozntDsaLnEYC3caFh73DHynvfHltGNKjtHhZsVPB6vM/s2048/3_2_F_WEB.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc_MffQEg1Yd3wRtMr17s8sVp_iAgtdudU_T9JcPlQSiBoDY3z1EAv4PD_gNDbXk4mOoU-6D_0SnAzDPR8UoaR-xfOMag_T-aSozntDsaLnEYC3caFh73DHynvfHltGNKjtHhZsVPB6vM/w400-h266/3_2_F_WEB.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Crow Versus Crowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06218482157630974022noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5928080704957385934.post-3427484747650884532021-10-29T07:41:00.003+01:002021-10-29T07:56:40.579+01:00New Release: yol - viral dogs and cats (CVC022) Limited Edition Cassette & Digital Download<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4hiHHP29BRDI91krVsmsn5F8xnn6aM6lrbA0HGEHh3jE3am6ANSW8N8kCYMbuqCOnIZRdyufkcQ104AcS4goEDtFM8HUOATGBshimvJA6LQvSlg77YjC0X4PW4dhoWriMZqEBTzM3mA0/s2048/1-WEB.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4hiHHP29BRDI91krVsmsn5F8xnn6aM6lrbA0HGEHh3jE3am6ANSW8N8kCYMbuqCOnIZRdyufkcQ104AcS4goEDtFM8HUOATGBshimvJA6LQvSlg77YjC0X4PW4dhoWriMZqEBTzM3mA0/w400-h266/1-WEB.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>yol</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>viral dogs and cats</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">(CVC022)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Limited Edition of 50 cassettes & digital download</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://crowversuscrow.bandcamp.com/album/viral-dogs-and-cats" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: medium;">Available now via the Crow Versus Crow Bandcamp</span></a></div><br /><p></p><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe seamless="" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=1411005334/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=e99708/artwork=small/transparent=true/" style="border: 0; height: 307px; width: 400px;"><a href="https://crowversuscrow.bandcamp.com/album/viral-dogs-and-cats">viral dogs and cats by Yol</a></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><br />Found objects / mouth noise / mangled language.<div><br />

Primark bags and dog shit; they were the prima materia of yond alchemists, right?<br /><br />
viral dogs and cats was recorded in a vacant retail premises on Brook Street, Hull, made available as a project space through the facilitation of Red Contemporary, Hull – an artist-led organisation, and former gallery space, displaced in the wake of Hull’s ‘City Of Culture’ redevelopments. It was recorded during a period of lockdown, with all the practical and technical restrictions that lockdown precipitates, but it’s not a ‘Lockdown Album’, per se.<div><br />
Yol’s approach seems to be to absorb that which is around him, the fragmentary, the minutiae, and regurgitate it through distending, absurdist ritualistic cantillations. Yol invokes sonic transmutations from gathered detritus, from the grimy scrapings from between the cushions of society’s (fly-tipped, piss-stained) settee. Gold!

Crow Versus Crow is honoured to present <i>the ends (also end) of (the) earth and variants</i>, a new body of work from polymath artist and educator Dr Amy Cutler, available as a limited-edition of fifty cassettes and near-infinite digital download from Friday 14th May 2021.<br />
<br />
These recordings spring from a strange medieval English riddle, the Harley lyric, <i>Erthe toc of erthe</i>:<br />
<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><i> Erthe toc of erthe erthe wyth woh; Erthe other erthe to the erthe droh; Erthe leyde erthe in erthene throh; Tho hevede erthe of erthe erthe ynoh.</i></div>
<br /><div style="text-align: right;">(Ms. Harley 2553).</div>
<br />
The tiny lament or puzzle is impossible to translate, since in its four short lines the word earth appears twelve times. Like ‘ashes to ashes, dust to dust’, these identical words have different meanings – transitioning between soil, world, burial, cultivation, decay, earthly possessions, and our own bodies. The device of repeating earth so many times in such a short space creates an unsolvable lyric which, riddle-like, ‘only makes sense when we are prepared to hold several meanings of the word in our minds simultaneously’. How does one sing this tiny piece, or give it a tune?<br />
<br />
This is an album of sonic variants, settings, and radio covers of <i>Erthe toc of erthe</i>, including those by invited guest artists and friends, Ecka Mordecai, Layla Legard (Hawthonn), Ceylan Hey (Bell Lungs, Mark S. Williamson (Spaceship) and Drew Mulholland. The modified field recordings, chants, twilight hums, nonsense riddles and layered repetitions are each inspired by the variant meanings of ‘earth’, in the ultimate group sonic field trip.<br />
<br />
Cutler’s recordings were made in Luds Church, a naturally resonant mossy chasm in Staffordshire where Lollard ceremonies were held, including their alternative death chants. Combining guitar, voice, processed electronics, record hiss, and field recordings, these tracks (and the album as a whole) are each titled with phrases from the dictionary definitions of ‘earth’. Some of these meanings are undigestible by each other, whether scientific, metaphorical, or allegorical: e.g., the ground as a surface on which humans and animals move; the inhabitants of the world collectively; ‘earthing’ a conductive electrical circuit or terminal; to ‘go to earth’ meaning to take refuge as in an animal’s lair or burrow. Combining this mix of opposites – doom and refuge, sin and innocence – and playing on the end of the world-ness of elegy, this camper-van tape release becomes a sort of muted lullaby for earth itself.<br />
<br /><i>
the ends (also end) of (the) earth and variants</i> is released as a limited-edition of 50 hand-numbered, professionally dubbed C70 cassettes (made from recycled materials) and digital download via the Crow Versus Crow Bandcamp. The cassette features full-colour artwork by Crow Versus Crow and Dr Amy Cutler.<br />

Crow Versus Crow is honoured to present Miraculous Seepage, a new body of collaborative tape loop bunraku from Brandstifter (Flux on Demand, Psych.KG, Chocolate Monk...) and Diurnal Burdens (Falt, Matching Head, More Mars, Invisible City Records...).<br />
<br />
Across two sides of tape, the duo present seven surrealist dioramas, part Herman Hesse fairy tale, part Lynchian hypnagogia. With whirring spool clicks and visible strings, slewed transmissions break through the ferric void; miasmic zoetropes in varispeed.<br />
<br />
Miraculous Seepage is released as a limited-edition of 50 hand-numbered, professionally dubbed cassettes (made from recycled materials) and digital download via the Crow Versus Crow Bandcamp on Friday 26th February 2021.

Facing ignition issues? Looking to identify the symptoms to understand where the problem lies?</i><br />
<br />
Our handy Trouble Tracer® guide offers clear audio examples that will help you diagnose the problem. Whether it be Corona Discharge Stains, Cold/Carbon Fouling, Pad Contamination, Flash Over, Ash Deposits or Detonation we are here to help!<br />
<br />
At Trouble Tracer® we know one thing: quality is in the details. And what is true for technological developments is true for adequately identifying issues and matching them with the appropriate solution.<br />
<br />
At Trouble Tracer® we also believe that accuracy is best attained by working together. That's why we openly share solutions and lay out in a to-the-point and concise manner a reliable way to diagnose contamination, wear, damage and other potential issues, and how to best return to the ideal standards of performance and efficiency we work with dedication to maintain.<br />
<br />
The Trouble Tracer® guide doesn't always give you enough information for you to know exactly what's wrong, but it does mean that you can eliminate everything from the input to the point where the signal changes. It is important to understand that when fault finding, any anomalous voltage is a symptom of the fault, and is not the fault itself.<br />
<br />
With its unique patented technology, Trouble Tracer® produces audio and visual signals that technicians easily catch when they tap the target. But nevertheless, it does not require bending, cutting, freezing or any other actions that can damage cables.<br />
<br /><i>
Autofahrt</i> is ideal for individuals that have difficulty in differentiating between static and leak noise on an electronic listening stick!<br />
<br /><i>
“…there are other noises that can spell trouble, are just irritating, or that can be expensive. How can we tell the difference? It’s certainly not easy. It obviously helps if you can identify the sound and where it’s coming from.”</i><br />
Sarah H. Sanders<br />
<br /><i>
“All of these noises you heard were recorded in the Meagre Resource Workshop and have since been cured. Regular listeners will find out how all these jobs and repairs can be tackled in a way that’s easily understood. Everybody should know these sounds.”</i><br />
Big Jack Hay<br />
<br />
Thanks for listening! And remember: <i>Cause – Remedy – Solution!</i><br />

Crow Versus Crow is delighted to present, <i>Accelerate</i>, a new body of work from Cahn Ingold Prelog, alias of North Wales-based interdisciplinary artist Simon Proffitt (The Master Musicians of Dyffryn Moor, Carnedd Aur, The Incidental Crack).<br />
<br />
Adjusting to the restrictions a national lockdown imposed upon the means and opportunity for creative practice, Proffitt consciously embraced the potentially destructive limitations and harnessed them as a positive framework for sonic exploration. Using only a piezoelectric accelerometer, a highly sensitive vibration measurement tool used extensively through various industries to measure small vibrations with frequencies as low as 0.1Hz up to almost 4kHz, and custom amplifier to extract sounds from within the domestic confines.<br /><br />
The act of rummaging around in a drawer for a council tax bill, or searching for a clean fork, once recorded through the piezoelectric accelerometer, are given an almost ceremonial air. Excavated and abstracted, familiar sounds of domestic life are transformed, transmuted, and filled with a deeper, almost spiritual, significance – zen-like, monkish rituals in banality give sonic flickers of gong ritual.<br /><br />
Across ten tracks, <i>Accelerate</i>, presents a combination of unprocessed field recordings and multitracked compositions that harness the objects of domesticity, of the household, revealing the house itself as raw materials from which intricate, complex, delicate compositions emerge, transcending the limitations of their seeming confines. Harnessing mundanity as material, blunt titles such as <i>Fridge</i> and <i>Freezer (Ice Tray)</i> poetically skirt the absurd with a dry humour that offsets the serious intent of such methods of exploration
<br /><br /><div style="text-align: right;">...‘<i>Transcend</i>’, ‘<i>…Seeking…</i>’, ‘<i>…Search…</i>’, ‘<i>Satellite</i>’ ...</div><div><br /></div>
The duality of Meaning and Meaninglessness is a constant through <i>Accelerate</i> and seems to be at the core of the essential questioning that frames its production.<br />
<br /><i>
Accelerate</i> is released as a limited edition of 50 hand-numbered, professionally dubbed cassettes and digital download via the Crow Versus Crow Bandcamp on Friday 30^th October 2020.<br /><br />
Cassette £6<br /><br />

Crow Versus Crow is honoured to present <i>Delirium, Or Sonata</i>, a new body of recordings from Rovellasca, alias of Gateshead (UK) - based interdisciplinary artist Craig Stewart Johnson.<br />
<br />
Following releases on such excellent labels as Matching Head, Kirigirisu Recordings, and Aetheric Records, along with his own peerless Invisible City label, Delirium, Or Sonata expands upon Johnson’s sculptural use of sound to explore emotional resonance within delicately constructed monolithic palimpsests.<br />
<br />
Uncanny evocations swell from crumbling tape loops. Light and dust. Part and whole. Peripheral hums of industrialia. Entropy. Flux.<br />
<br />
I'm keeping the word waxin' deliberately brief on this one in order to not condition a listeners experience - such is my belief in the potential of this record to affect. Slip on your headphones. Sit. Listen long. Sink.<br />
<br /><i>
Delirium, Or Sonata</i> is released as a limited edition of 50 hand-numbered, professionally dubbed cassettes and digital download. The physical version is professionally-dubbed on an ice white translucent shell cassette, with on-body printed artwork, in an edition of 50 copies. Full-colour printed heavyweight j-card, housed in a standard white-backed cassette case. Each copy is individually hand-numbered. Artwork by Crow Versus Crow and Craig Stewart Johnson.<br />
<br />
Cassette £6<br />
The digital download is available on a 'Name Your Price' basis. If you would like the record but can't afford to pay for it, then please help yourself to it without charge. Otherwise, please pay what you can, or what you think is appropriate, and know that all proceeds go directly in to producing future Crow Versus Crow releases.<br />

Crow Versus Crow is delighted to present for public absorption a new body of supra-spectral, barely-contained-by-the-medium-of-sound works from Shit Creek, titled, <i>The Land Of The Remember</i>.<br />
<br />
It can be difficult to make music about anything other than clinical depression when you're clinically depressed. Similarly, it can be difficult to imagine a reality beyond our own when the one we find ourselves in is so thoroughly depressing. Recorded between October and December 2019, in the midst of the General Election and the dismal sham masquerading as political discourse, The Land of the Remember could be seen as an attempt to forge an alternative - free from the restrictions of stifling oppression and dehumanising, debilitating structures of the contemporary UK.<br />
<br />
Jamming the emotive tranquillity of the raga against a glittering technicolour that glitch-flips between atomising anxiety and absolute joy, The Land Of The Remember is an attempt to create the sound of a world beyond, or perhaps reconfigured from, the current socio-political context.<br />
<br />
With no beat to anchor, the layers of granular fizz, squelching tropicalia glimmers and discordant plucked whatevers form shifting, expansive plains of multifarious sound, in a psychedelic bricolage of transcendental reconstitutions of the everyday.<br />
<br />
<i>The Land Of The Remember</i> is released as a limited edition of 50 hand-numbered CD-Rs and digital download via the Crow Versus Crow Bandcamp on Friday 27th March 2020. The physical version is presented as a full-colour thermal printed CD-R, housed in a folded recycled card sleeve, with full colour artwork by Crow Versus Crow <br />

<i>SUN FLOW ER</i> is a collection of lo-fi reproductions of works on paper by Andrew Wild, produced during 2018 and 2019.<br />
<br />
The process of making these works was essentially that of sketching - of intellectually forming and physically manifesting ideas through direct manipulation of materials - and were made parallel to larger works on canvas. Many of the main ideas and themes within these works on canvas (a more deliberate, conscious self-reflection; personal histories; ideas of Place; class-consciousness and socioeconomic context, and their intertwining with a sense of Self...) first found their physical form through these works on paper.
<br />
<br />
Some works contain elements of drawings and texts by Robert Ridley-Shackleton. These were made with the intention of being used as part of the artwork for RRS’ Stone Cold Crazy cassette, released via the Crow Versus Crow label in October 2018. <i>All hail the Cardboard Prince!</i>
<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>SUN FLOW ER</i> is published in an edition of 50 copies by Crow Versus Crow.
<br />
<br />
All original versions of the works reproduced within <i>SUN FLOW ER</i> are available for purchase. For prices and further enquiries, please email crow_versus_crow@hotmail.co.uk.<br />

<br />
Crow Versus Crow is pleased to announce a new release in, <i>Mammon</i>, the latest work from Carnivorous Plants AKA Owen Chambers, a key member of Bristol’s Liquid Library, and fervent contributor to the No-Audience Underground scene.<br />
<br />
Having previously self-released works via his own Carnivorous Plants Bandcamp, through the Liquid Library, the Wormhole World label, and Robert Ridley-Shackleton’s Cardboard Club label, it is an honour to be able to help spread the good word of Carnivorous Plants through Crow Versus Crow.<br />
<br />
This release is developed from a bespoke cassette made as part of <i>The Carnivorous Plants Automated Album Delivery Service</i>, in which Owen recorded a pair of unique recordings for 10 people, based on a theme of the individual’s request. I requested a pair of recordings based upon Van Gogh’s <i>Sunflowers</i> series, which, after an email or two of gushing thank-filled praise, became the foundation for the recordings which were expanded upon to become what is now Mammon.<br />
<br />
Spanning thirty-three minutes, <i>Mammon</i> is formed of three tracks of heavily textured, delicately layered, glacial-shift guitar drone and feather-light ferric hiss-coated field recordings and lulling piano. Subverting an oft-assumed machismo within the Noise/Drone field, <i>Mammon</i> eschews such negative confrontationality to explore themes of light and colour, producing complex works that reflect a heady mix of existential weight, joyful serenity and a personal transcendence felt during the process of their creation.<br />
<br />
If it weren’t a crass, reductionist approach, for ease of reference one could say these recordings sat somewhere between Earth and Eno. <i>*Yeurgh!*</i><br />
<br />
<i>Mammon</i> is released as a limited edition of 50 hand-numbered CD-Rs and digital download via the Crow Versus Crow Bandcamp on Friday 29th November 2019. The physical version is presented as a white-faced, hand-stamped CD-R mounted onto an A5 postcard, featuring artwork by Crow Versus Crow, housed in a recycled plastic sleeve. <br />

</center>
<i>House Sparrow Settle Back</i> is a document of two successive nights of collaborative improvisation between Natalia Beylis and Embla Quickbeam, recorded live at The Magic City, Todmorden on Saturday 4th May 2019; and Beylis and Neil Campbell, recorded the previous evening at CHUNK project space in Leeds.<br />
<br />
Utilising and processing various found tapes, field recordings and synth, the collaborative pairings weave two glistening threads of kitchen sink psychedelia, all shimmering silver evening light, warbled bird song, tape loop stretch, green moss scent, static hiss, morning hum, ritual, reflection, refraction, ferric slip, whirling wind, skittering clatter, metallic scrape, essential throb, golden flux…
<br />
<br />
Such monumental themes as existential concern, environmental stability, ecological cohabitation, the role of the Individual and the Collective, and spiritual transcendence are spun from the complex layering and deft manipulation of the humblest of sound sources.
<br />
<br />
<i>House Sparrow Settle Back</i> is released as a limited edition of 100 hand-numbered professionally dubbed cassettes and digital download via the Crow Versus Crow Bandcamp on Friday 12th July 2019. The cassette version is dubbed onto a white shell cassette with gold and pink A/B identifying stickers, housed in a recycled plastic sleeve with A6 postcard featuring artwork by Crow Versus Crow. Each copy is individually hand numbered. Each copy comes with a limited edition 25mm metallic badge.

<br /><div style="text-align: left;">
Crow Versus Crow is honored to be able to present to you <i>Gallooner</i>, by Chlorine – alias of thee mighty Gateshead-based artist and multi-instrumentalist, Graeme Hopper. Following last year’s Loser Herd, released on the Panarus Productions label, <i>Gallooner</i>, digs deeper into the artist’s psyche to construct heavily layered and complex sonic evocations and excavations of the artist’s Self. It is by far the most personal collection of recordings Chlorine has produced to date.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<i><div style="text-align: left;">
<i>Anxiety. Loneliness. Self-Loathing. Depression.</i></div>
</i><div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
All hewn crude in catharsis.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
That is not to say that <i>Gallooner</i> is a violent, nihilistic, ugly record. As with many creative expressions of melancholy, there is a deep, complicated beauty within the intricate soundscapes. It’s probably a hopeful record. But its seeds are sown deep in frustration and doubt.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<i><div style="text-align: left;">
<i>Gall.</i></div>
</i><div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Bitterness. Bile. Audacity.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
A skin sore caused by chronic irritation.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Brazen boldness coupled with impudent assurance and insolence.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Flaw.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And doubt.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
With <i>Gallooner</i>, Chlorine has produced six varied yet cohesive soundscapes that range from throbbing, percussive, post-Dub, post-Industrial, post-Techno, sunk ravers, to heavily textured string-scraping, tape-hissing evocations of nocturnal wanderings, both dreamlike and concrete. Found sounds and field recordings coalesce with keys, strings and percussion to form intricate compositions rich in a symbiotic sense of geographic and psychological place.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<i><div style="text-align: left;">
<i>Gallooner </i>is released as a limited edition of 50 hand-numbered professionally dubbed cassettes and digital download via the Crow Versus Crow Bandcamp on Friday 12th July 2019, featuring artwork by Hopper. </div>

<br />
Crow Versus Crow is honoured to be able to present, <i>A Jar Full</i>, the first set of collaborative recordings from improvising cell0-wranger, Charlie Ulyatt and Dictaphonic tape-jaxxer, Joe Posset.<br />
<br />
Charlie and Joe became aware of each other’s work via mentions in the excellent TQ fanzine. When Joe was offered a show in Charlie’s hometown of Nottingham, he asked Charlie along to play a one-off collaboration.<br />
<br />
(Improvising cello versus improvising Dictaphone; what could possibly go wrong?!)<br />
<br />
Meeting for the first time a few hours before the show, with no previous rehearsal, practice or jam, things seemed to go rather well (<i>CVC ed. - read: ‘blisteringly excellently’</i>). It is this first ever show in Nottingham’s Angel pub that graces Side Two. <br />
<br />
With a side of live dicta/cello wonk in the bag, Charlie and Joe spent a few weeks sending sound files back and forth to improvise over. What you hear on Side One is first-take improvisations over each other’s recordings. To keep things fresh, they agreed to not listen in advance but simply set up the recorder, hit play and record the outcome. <br />
<br />
(But what will you hear?)<br />
<br />
<i>The rich tone of the cello slinks out between gobby horsehair friction and thumb-wrinked ffw action, speedy-jump cuts of smeared tape noise wrestle the gristle of fat wound strings.
Sensory grenades explode letting out wafts of classy rosin and hot melting Bakelite. Thoughts and images coalesce into plump wobbling shapes until they are speared with a sharp sonic jab only to deflate with the dignity of a fainting dowager.
Cello and Dictaphone flatter each other with audio-compliments and certainly make a handsome pair. The low tones afforded by resonating wood play off the fragile tape magnetics. The scribble-scrabble of the bow lends texture to the foggy Dictaphonix. Two distinct voices singing in drunken unison!</i><br />
<br />
<i>A Jar Full </i>is released as a Limited Edition of 70 professionally-dubbed full-colour on-body printed cassettes, with artwork by Crow Versus Crow full-colour printed onto a hand-numbered j-card, housed in a white-backed cassette case. A digital download is also available.<br />

<br />
<br />
Crow Versus Crow is honoured to be able to present, <i>Solanaceae</i>, the second full-length record from Penance Stare, the Gateshead (UK)-based project of songwriter Esmé Louise Newman. Following the much-lauded <i>Scrying</i> (2018) and <i>House of Bastet</i> EP (2017) cassettes, this bleak and haunted recording captures Penance Stare at its most fully-realised thus far. <br />
<br />
Previously known for her work in Melting, Commiserations, and Etai Keshiki, among many others, Esmé has spent the last two years deep in sonic exploration, developing an incredibly rich sound that, <i>“whips together atmospheric black metal with darkwave, shoegaze, stormy ambient, and witch house… as soothing as it is intense”</i> (Kim Kelly, <i>Noisey</i>). <br />
<br />
Beautifully mastered by Stephen Bishop (Opal Tapes, Basic House, Drunk in Hell), <i>Solanaceae</i> deals lyrically with themes of trauma, illness, ageing, neglect and regret, and is rendered with a sonic palette of heavy drum machine rhythms, degraded chamber music passages, low fidelity guitar fuzz and blurred out vocals. <br />
<br />
With blatant disregard for the oft-perceived sanctity of aesthetic dogma, Penance Stare draws voraciously from a wealth of seemingly disparate musical sources, twisting the gothic ephemeral grandeur of Cocteau Twins, the blunt mass of industrial noise, the layered textural intricacy of ‘Loveless’ and the raw, razor thin brutality of contemporary Black Metal, to form distinctly articulate works of personal expression.
<br />
<br />
<i>Solanaceae</i> is released as a limited edition of 50 hand-numbered, on-body printed aged bronzed cassettes, housed in a heavyweight recycled card sleeve with full-colour artwork by Crow Versus Crow. A digital download is also available.

<br /><br />
Now! The Crow Versus Crow label eagerly and excitedly pushes a glistening new tape your way. And boy! What a tape! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Following on from releases on such esteemed hepcat labels as Chocolate Monk, Structured Disasters, Turgid Animal and Beartown Records, and an unwavering stream of releases on his Cardboard Club and Hissing Frames labels, Robert Ridley-Shackleton, the Cardboard Prince of the No-Audience Underground, offers two sides of bubbling ferric in the form of, Stone Cold Crazy. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
These six songs veer from uncanny, dripping, plastic pop to intense stream of consciousness monologues, propelled by blunt, arrhythmic whirrings, fluttering tape hisses, skittering mechanics and warbling, skeletal melodies. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
More seriously introspective and directly confrontational than his previous releases, this collection of harrowing hits comes on like a bastard bastard of the first Suicide rehearsal tape, the immediate. archetypal pop of Daniel Johnston’s early recordings, and the glorious tirade of Mark E Smith’s self-interview tape. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
In the words of Robert Ridley-Shackleton,
<br />
<em>“For this album i wanted to do something a bit different from the funk driven gunk that i have been making and playing lately , i wanted to go back to the earlier sound of rrs in Terms of the audio but i also wanted to make something more Close to the bone less jokey and fun and more revealing, smudging the clarity of my speech with old school card sound cluttering tapeyness, im excited for andy to release something by me thats a bit different for tusk, my live sets However still remain funky xxx”</em> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
Stone Cold Crazy is released to coincide with RRS’ performance at TUSK Festival on Saturday 13th October 2018 as a very limited edition of 50 professionally dubbed cassettes and digital download. <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Perhaps appropriately, as autumn rolls in, Crow Versus Crow proudly presents, Version & Delineation, the first collaborative work from Caught In The Wake Forever and glacis.<br />
<br />
Having individually released highly acclaimed records on such esteemed labels as Hibernate, Fluid Audio, Soft Corridor and Dronarivm, Version & Delineation sees Caught In The Wake Forever and glacis, working aliases of Fraser McGowan and Euan Millar-McMeeken respectively, deconstructing and expanding upon Neo-Classical and Ambient templates to produce a body of work that revolves around improvisation (with a small ‘I’) and noise (with a small ‘N’).<br />
<br />
These six short works hinge upon glacis’ raw piano improvisations, recorded, without prior planning or subsequent revision, straight to IPhone Voice Memo software. That is not to say there is a flippancy to these recordings. Rather, they are considered, concentrated distillations of reflected emotional experience. precise and lyrical.<br />
<br />
In response, Caught In The Wake Forever produced beds of glitching, warbled, heavily textured sound that lay in dialogue with the piano works. Using the Make Noise System Cartesian & Akai S20 Sampler to incorporate culled and processed snapshots of domestic minutiae, Caught In The Wake Forever’s intricate abstract compositions mirror the fragility and transient ephemerality of glacis’ piano pieces.<br />
<br />
Porya Hatami is responsible for the beautiful mastering of this record, which perfectly realises the intricacy and textural complexity of the compositions.<br />
<br />
Version & Delineation is released as a Limited Edition of 100 professionally duplicated glitter-shell cassettes, housed in a standard plastic case with tracing paper J-card, held inside a recycled card O-card sleeve. Each cassette is hand numbered. All artwork and design by Crow Versus Crow.

Mix-less and proud, this one. From weirdo French errrm.... Krautrock from Fille Qui Mousse, to No-Wavey, skronky, gross-out, severely un-PC...or, is that faux-un-PC?... rock and roll from Teddy and the Frat Girls, via beautiful Hungarian folk-tinged violin work from Agathe Max; a sparse, ritualistic harmonica piece from Laura Steenberge; super-heavy, an incredibly beautiful, Slayer-shred raga from Annapurna Devi; and VU in C ecstatic drone jamz from Vibracathedral Orchestra; in and amongst other golden golds from across the No-Audience Underground and beyond. </div>

Following on from Episode 123, this is another show of two halves. The first half comprises of the usual wonky, No-Audience whatever I've been digging of late, from Posset to Sol Rezza, via Moor Mother, Sophie Cooper & Delphine Dora, Jandek, Lost Winter etc etc; whilst the second half is an hour-long mix from West Yorkshire-based sound artist and graphic designer, <a href="http://www.annapeaker.co.uk/" target="_blank">Anna Peaker</a>, featuring, amongst many others, some seriously excellent cuts from Frans Zwartjes, Stuart Chalmers, Bianca Scout, Ryuichi Sakomoto, Klein, Annea Lockwood, The Caretaker... all gold! </div>
