Three new releases are now available from Joe Beres' excellent label out of Minneapolis, Small Doses. Joe puts a ton of thought and care into his releases, so these are guaranteed to look slick and sound killer.
From the label:
meditiations: eternal absence
dosethirtythree 3" cdr
this is the third release from this trio - franklin teagle, matt yacoub, and ryan mcgill (bones of seabirds). schizophrenic noise -PE-like one moment dark ambience in others - of the highest order - drenched in feedback with a heart of stone. cover art by matt yacoub. edition of 115.
peasant graves/fences: split collaborationdoseseven 3" cdr
more than a year in the works, it's a pleasure to have this one see a release. four tracks: peasant graves starts the disc with dark, brooding drone. it has an almost sinister, ritualistic feel. fences ends the disc with a tense, feedback-driven drone that rises to a slow, steady beating. the two tracks between represent a mail-collaboration. each artist started one track and finished the other. The covers are hand screened in pearescent black ink on black paper. Numbered edition of 130.
a vibrant struggle: whispering bones
dosethirtyone cdr
"a vibrant struggle" is a collaboration between norwegians sindre bjerga and jan m. iversen and dutchman steffan de turck (aka staplerfahrer). in the fall of 2007, the trio spent a weekend putting music to tape. this is the third volume from their sessions -following fast on the heels of a release on 905 tapes. a single 31+ minute jam comprised of meditative drones, percussive acoustics, and cacaphonous bliss. edition of 83.
