It’s been a while. Things were slow there for a bit but, we’re back with a new website and a new release. The Brainworlds / Plosive split 12″ is available now! We experienced a few hurdles getting this website up and that delayed things with the split. But let’s put all those bad vibes behind us and, concentrate on the good things. We’re excited for this release, which features the righteous pairing of Georgia’s Brainworlds and Connecticut’s Plosive. A mix of drone, kosmiche and experimental influences can be heard throughout this record. Both of these guys make some brilliant and routinely transcendent music. Check it out:

This website has been sitting around since 2009 and we finally got around to making it a reality. We’re hoping this blog gets some more action than the last one. The plan is to post semi-regularly about label happenings, band happenings, things we like, etc. Anything we want really. It’s a little fuzzy around the edges, we’re still working it out. Talk soon.

A master of the epic, celestial journey via processed guitar. For his side of the split, and his first foray onto vinyl, Brown contributes a track called “Heliopause.” “Heliopause,” is a 15-minute blissed out ride through the amniotic fluid. Warm, hazy swells of sound coming through from the other side. Undulating towards the vast beyond. A champagne sunrise on the escalator ride to heaven. If you believe in that kind of shit of course. For any nerds familiar with Valis or Radio Free Albemuth, this is the stuff I want to be listening to when that pink laser hits my brain. Plosive is Chris Bracco. Although mostly known for his remix work, this marks the second release of Bracco’s solo compositions under the Plosive moniker. Bracco’s pieces reflect a wide range of experimental influences and sensibilities. From ambient-drone calisthenics to the influence of minimalist composers like Arvo Part and Rhys Chatham. “Between 8:00 and 8:30″ builds on a persistent vibrating bass-hum over which sparse piano melodies and synth washes rise and fall in a slow call and response. “The Bubble Machine” combines shimmering guitar slices with some fuzzy synth gurgles punctuated by fast rising walls of treated backwards piano. All eventually intertwining like branches in a dense forest ceiling. Prepare to float away with two sides of extreme healing. 250 hand-numbered copies in jackets.

A1 / Heliopause
B1 / Between 8:00 & 8:30
B2 / The Bubble Machine

Vactionland’s nine songs reveal a myriad of influences, often within the confines of a single track. The chugging guitars of “Hinterlands,” with it’s reggae influenced bridge, sit comfortably next to the synth driven groove of “Talk About Yourself” and the escalating psych grandeur of “Islands,” the album’s centerpiece. This is a collection of dense and melodic songs that rewards multiple listens with it’s trove of sonic treats. As of this writing, our LP will be the only physical version of this album. 300 copies on “ultra” clear vinyl with screen-printed foldover sleeves, full digital download AND a set of 1 inch buttons.

A1 / Death And Dying
A2 / Hinterlands
A3 / Move A Muscle
A4 / Verbal
A5 / Islands
B6 / Creature Comforts
B7 / Talk About Yourself
B8 / High School
B9 / Vacation
