Ajilvsga - Crossed Bones (Stunned no. 5)

The hot dust of a thousand atomized strip malls whips into the eyes and ears of all who pass the way of Crossed Bones. Our seasoned guides Brad Rose and Nathan Young clutch their headscarves tighter and drive their guitars even deeper into the blistering earth, if only to anchor themselves momentarily in the bent circuit tempest. Forty minutes featuring twin cabinet-shakers that had us promising the neighbors we weren't testing a new form of sonic weaponry after spinning the demo. Of all Ajilvsga's past and present explorations into heavy mental music, none have grabbed us so quite in the gutz. Serious low end woofer junkies encouraged to be among the first to check this one as the jam to mix with the sweat of a new summer. Ltd. 100 handnumbered cdrs in thick polyvinyl case with spooked art by Ted Trager.

The Doglands - The Doglands (Stunned no. 6)

At last, the promised re-issue of John Frank's former folk handle The Doglands, and one of the few releases from the last couple years that really inspired us to get Stunned Records up and running. Wide-eyed & weird tin can psych from the lo-fi backhills of the hi-fi mind who brings us Oregon's Molten Honey. Any vocals here are peaced-out Huxlian assurances of glistening outer and inner worlds, every rusty guitar strum a testament to the irrelevance of government and impotence of academia in the face of such nature and the cosmos. For those who travel the high trails close to the sun. Ltd. 40 hand numbered copies in heavy green Tibetan rice paper sleeves.
