CUT HANDS: new releases
Now new at CUT HANDS HQ
Jason Rohm | Suicide (incl. Robedoor, Sick Llama, Ex-Cocaine and more) CH040
Artbook+ compilation cd-r
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CUT HANDS. HAH...
Originally intended to celebrate the first anniversary of Cut Hands waaay
back in Januscary but since it is never too late to celebrate in the oh 8
here it is and goddamn if it wasnt worth the goddamning wait. In this book
Jason Rohm paints a grim picture thats both realistically nerving yet
bizarrely funny. The tale of a desperate soul in a world that is tied by
rules and akward questions, almost comic like in subtle detail. Suicide has
32 pages of black and white drawings, with text in English and awkward
Dutch. The compilation provides a harrowing soundtrack with tunes by Andrew
Coltrane, Sick Llama, Warmth, Droughter, Bottom Feeder, Raperies (Like
Draperies), Ex-Cocaine, Robedoor and Josh Lay.
125 copies made, limited availibility, so act fassssssst.

Teeth Collection | Ojo CH043
3" cd-r
Matt Reis is one of the few guys able to create a piece thats both dynamic
and dense while being haunting and flat out nightmarish at the same time.
Just think of the soundtrack to your teenage years, this is the one that
will haunt you when you're gone. Negatives of cruel nightmares raging
through long forgotten parts of wasted brain. Minimal blurts of metal
clatter, reverb, echo chambers, face down in junkyards, cheeks rubbing metal
while your ears fill up with rust. The definite final countdown.
40 copies, black and white artwerk and insert.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cadena Muerto | Paranoia is Total Awareness CH044
cd-r
Cadena Muerto is a new demon brought to life by Slow Listener's Robin
Dickinson. Dickinson's harsher alter ego if you will, the rage inside in the
shape of wretched guitarnoise, deformed pieces of snare fuck, mangled metal
and visions of Derek Baily recording inside metal shredders. 40 copies,
black and white artwerk and insert.

period.tapes: we will spill blood
Passing some info along from my good friends at period.tapes (and yes I do have a very vested interest in this cause, though I don't run the label).
period.tapes is a new label run out of Brooklyn specializing in hand silk screened cassette editions of 46 copies each. These are really sites to behold; every detail of these cassettes are extremely well thought out, and the craftsmanship is impeccable . So if you're a sucker for fine packaging and odd sounds head over to the period.tapes website and pick up their first two releases:
These Feathers Have Plumes
"These Feather Have Plumes have created one of the most memorable and intoxicating drone-based recordings that I have experienced in quite some time. Employing primarily double bass coupled with subtly manipulate and looped field recordings, the compositions drift languidly across the aural spectrum like ghostly tendrils of fog and smoke over a moonlit harbor. Limited Edition of 46 with silk screened sleeve artwork by Louis Caldarola" - Cory E. Card, age 29 (Stone Baby, age 2).
stone baby - nobody loves me... still
"Haunting experimental soundscapes from the creepiest infant ever. Limited Edition of 46 with silk screened sleeve artwork by Louis Caldarola." - Period Tapes.
Forthcoming releases from: Fishdream, Breyer P-Orridge, Whip and the Body, Noveller, Aaron Dilloway, The North Sea and much more!!!
Labels: label
BH003 Eyeballs - ‘Seal-Skin Satellite’
Another CD-R label by a Foxy Digitalis writer - HELL NO!
Hell yes.
"Seal-Skin Satellite" is Eyeballs second only release, following in the moon current of “Sea of William Henry Smyth” on the superb Blackest Rainbow label. Undercurrents of both progression and calm, this is drone reminiscent of a skin temperature malleable metal sheen. Seal-Skin Satellite is the slow folding-together fingers of breeze buoyed feathers and the audio of pre-Charles Babbage systems check programmes LEDing in the distancing sun. Organic sounds born of bells deceive as electronic droplets fill out, evolving unconsciously unaware into oblivious approaches to melody." Limited to 45 copies in debut label release “Red Letter” edition.

digitalis tapes for autumn
hey everyone,
three new tapes ready for devouring, just in time to celebrate the beginning of autumn. woo:
 ltd#27: uneven universe "cave speech" c31 $ 7 domestic / $9 intl
i friggin love this duo. horns and electronics spewing their finest concoctions into the michigan sky. what a world. "cave speech" is as primitive sounding as its title suggests. saxophone squelches are bent and burned into unrecognizable heaps of murk while hazy electronics wind their way through the sonic valley. these dense recordings are endless amalgamation of caustic layers and bent circuits that are burning down all the houses in ferndale. michigan, it's in the fucken water.
there's nothing disjointed about "cave speech," though. they push the limits, but all these battling tones and bones remain a beautifully cohesive mess. there really needs to be more horn/electronics duos in the world. nobody will do it this well, but hot damn am i addicted to this stuff. uneven universe for life. yessss. limited to 75 copies with 2-colored silkscreened labels. pics + audio: http://www.digitalisindustries.com/ltd27.html
 ltd#31: fossils "gone with the sun" c30 $7 domestic/$9 world
the spit and shine of the great white north are being thrown into the woodchipper and spewed out as a steaming, glorious mess by hamilton's own mad scientist, david payne aka fossils. these bones are damaged. "gone with the sun" is another chapter in a neverending string of limited tapes, cdrs, and lps that seem to be building toward world domination. with hints of guitar skronk and teases of sax bombs creeping up behind the demolished drones, "gone with the sun" is as much gone as it was never there in the first place.
payne scrapes below the bottom of the barrell to find the best sludge for your ears. dig it out, box it up, and splurge until you're gorged. fossils is forever. limited to 44 copies. pics: http://www.digitalisindustries.com/ltd31.html
  ltd#33: pete fosco "dust, american dust" c60 $7 domestic/$9 world
on the backs of giants comes the stunning debut from this ohio native who seems destined to join the ranks of the true masters. these solo guitar compositions stand mythically on their own while still peering down and giving nods to the likes of mazzacane and steven r. smith. the tools used on "dust, american dust" are simple, but the results are epic. fosco picks the flesh from the carcass and serenades us into believing there's something beyond the blackest dawn.
hints of smoky distortion heighten the casual embrace of fosco's playing. his guitar gently nudges you into feeling what each spiralling note intends. these songs are weightless as the flit across the floor. "dust, american dust" is covered in just that. limited to 60 copies. pics + audio: http://www.digitalisindustries.com/ltd33.html
as always: http://www.digitalisindustries.com/catalog_ltd.html
bit of news...
the last arroyos have been shipped, and if you haven't got yours yet, they should be there soon. thanks again for being so patient. hope to have a more concrete ship date on the natural snow buildings 2cd soon as well. next up on the limited editions front: solo cd-rs from yek koo (helga from metal rouge) and elm (jon from barn owl) plus a mega 4way split double cassette (c30+c35) between ajilvsga (w/ eden on vocals), mass ornament, alms, & the north sea. soon after should hopefully see tapes from andrew coltrane, evan miller, celer, & gryn brvs/siblings of plasma. yowwww..
much love,
-brad
New Small Doses
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.
