New on Abandon Ship

shit. i meant to post this a week ago and then the drama happened. but anyway, nate rulli's got a bunch of new gems that dropped up in the apple last week, and you'd be best moving quick to check these babies out:
ASR024 Starving Weirdos - Absolute Freedom 7"

"Here it is, our first 7" and we're PSYCHED!!! These two sides represent some of the earliest of SW material; culled from old 4 track tapes recorded in long lost living rooms, with friends and on the fly. Two kernels given the royal treatment, thanks to our friends at Abandon Ship! One an ontological cry into the abyss, the other a march in dedication to those forgotten souls who call it home." - Starving Weirdos

with pro-printed cover art and insert

edition of 500


ASR029 Strange Girls - Skull 3" cdr

Another mind-blowing recording from the vaults of Clayton Noone (The Futurians, CJA) and Kaaterama Morehucan (Smokehouse). This one is older than the CJA/Smokehouse tape we released last year, but you would think it's a natural progression from it. Teamed up with Sugar Jon, the three of them jaunt through some rocking numbers, wailing away on their guitars, drums, and vocal chords. It's a short, but epic follow up for sure. This ultra limited release will whet your collective pallets for the upcoming Sundowner LP, which again, features CJA and Smokehouse. Keep an eye out for that late this year/early next. In the meantime, crank the volume on this one while you're sipping some lemonade under the hot summer sun. It's that chill.

Smokehouse : guitar, vocals, drums
CJA : guitar, vocals, drums
Sugar Jon : guitar, vocals, drums

edition of 50

ASR037 Blue Sabbath Black Fiji-Lazer Saber cdr

Here's a 2007 JK Tapes repress of this Parisian duo doing what they do best...making loud, raucous, guitar-driven noise. Skull-crushing, gut-wrenching, and face-melting will all take place while listening to this. And then, after some reconstructive surgery, you'll come crawling back for more. Get it while it's hot.

edition of 50

ASR042 Eskimo King - Weird Flag CDR

As Brian Sullivan still flies high from his performance at No Fun Fest this year, we've prepared a gem of a release from this half of the now legendary Mouthus. While feeding off of similar meditative vibes of the aforementioned Brooklyn duo, he manages to put together a cohesive collection of distinct tracks he can call his own. Infinite layers of blown out fuzz dominate some tracks, and deep, trance-inducing rhythms prevail in others. Another primer for an up-and-coming ASR LP, due later this year. Keep your eyes peeled. And as with most Mouthus-related material, this one will not be around for very long.

edition of 100
as always, nate can be found lurking at the abandon ship website.
