digitalis olympic tape jams
hey everyone,
couple of new tapes to tide ya over while we get the last of the spring pre-orders ready to ship:
 ltd#11: the polyps "isla & emma" c23 $7 domestic/$9 intl
when i first heard the polyps i was immediately drawn in. this solo/sideproject from raf spielman of the golden hours is perfect, disjointed bedroom pop. over the course of more than a dozen songs spielman weaves a basket of hooks that you will find yourself humming until dawn. mostly written on guitar, the accompaniment of melodica, ramshackle percussion, and of course spielman's distinct voice bring these songs to life.
"isla & emma" is a short and deliciously sweet journey. while many of us anxiously await the next installment of the golden hours, this is just the sugarfix needed to get you through. so simple, so good. limited to 95 copies in handpainted sleeves and handpainted wraparound covers, each one different. pics & audio: http://www.digitalisindustries.com/ltd11.html
 ltd#28: sarah's charity "fear of sound" c29 $7 domestic/$9 intl
denmark's sarah's charity has been cranking out some serious walls of sound over the past few years. churning black guitars that get sucked into the bottomless depths of ice-cold oceans. each track builds on the previous, leaving your ears white hot and begging for more. there's so much distortion that it feels like the tape can't even hold it all in.
the best way to experience "fear of sound" is head-on. crank the volume up as loud as you can, pour it in and make your ears bleed. eventually you'll be absorbed and drift away on a cloud of burnt dust. good fucken times. limited to 87 copies with full-color sleeves designed by peter friel. pics & audio: http://www.digitalisindustries.com/ltd28.html
 ltd#29: eternal tapestry "seas of silk" c30 $7 domestic/$9 intl
the boys are back in town, oh yes. back down to a threesome on "seas of silk," the bindeman bros. and dewey mahood have everything turned up to 11. thick slabs of dual psychedelic guitars crush the bones laid down by the bindeman #1, tearing off hunks of flesh at a time. heavy burners with a heavy dose of sprawl.
just like jed bindeman's alter-ego group, heavy winged, once these concussion bombs hit you, there's only so much you can do to keep it all in check. but unlike the winged, instead of blowing your skull to bits, you'll just want to shake that ass. limited to 100 copies. pics & audio: http://www.digitalisindustries.com/ltd29.html
