Jasper TX 3 inch disc OUT NOW

BRAND NEW 3INCH DISC FROM JASPER TX. COMPANION TO HIS RECENT FULL LENGTH ALBUM “SINGING STONES”. LIMITED TO 110 COPIES WORLDWIDE!

Dag Rosenqvist aka Jasper TX (one half of the post rock duo De La Mancha) has been producing his own brand of unique ambience for some time now, having had releases with Lampse, Miasmah, most recently Fang Bomb and self releasing various 3inch CDrs inbetween. It is with much honor that I welcome Dag into the “Dead Pilot ranks” (as it were).

With this 3 inch disc, Dag has really honed in on the drone sound he has only vaguely touched upon before. Building from subtle organ tones to dense low end drones and peaking with fizzing glory and triumph, this perfectly crafted 20 minute piece shows Dags ear for minimalism and subtle shifts in melody and texture. It’s slow burning development makes the peak much more euphoric and intense. Like Stars of the Lid remixed by Machinefabriek.

Limited to 110 copies worldwide packaged in miniature DVD style case with photography artwork by Peter Broderick (yes THAT Peter Broderick) and textured paper insert.

Also, new Stefan Kushima CDr and A Death CInematics 2xCDr album added to distro!

Stefan Kushima & Joey Chainsaw – Mouthful of Ghosts Review

Joey’s disc is three tracks of Dr Phibes in a hall of broken mirrors… keyboard warbles shivering out on their shattered reflections, Gnostic groans following along the over saturated trails, everything tipping out over the edges of reason, digging beyond words…the organ’s teeth gnawing at the edges of the sound, trying to escape its confines. The last track is definitely the best; most haunted number… alien vox, pin cushioned by the dread of church organ manoeuvres. A funeral for the soul, shimmering through on a lo-fi half-life… surreal noise moments that throw a chill over your bones… Kushima’s disc is one epic number… a one cord death wish funnel of vibrating hell… and growing beat. The texture’s here really excite, shavings of something almost ethnic replaced with shrill clashes and grinding surfaces… mutant vocals that rise ablaze, phoenix-like, over police siren nose dives and whistling pulses… everything sounds fucked, but manages to forge something deliciously avant-Scottish out of the mixture… an asthmatic bag-pipe chorus that’s pure celebration… (Rotten Meat)

Hot on the heels of the new album “Singing Stones”, Dag Rosenqvist brings us 20 minutes of drone bliss. The perfect companion to the album, the piece builds from subtle organ tones to layered electronic fuzz, peaking with fizzing glory and triumph.

Available next month!

we have no future

“Serious, strong stuff on 1877’s debut release. Antagonist begins with electronic percussion and keyboards before the guitars come in backing submerged Curtis inflected vocals. Cold and powerfully arranged the instruments mesh and splinter menacingly. B side Narcolepsy is, if possible, even more intense. Guitar and Bass drive relentlessly reminding the reviewer of Sumner and Hook on Interzone. True to its title, the track carries a bleak Burroughsian menace which has gone unheard in music for far too long. Chris Stanley in The-Mag wrote, “They carry a genuine menace and intensity”. I can only, totally, wholeheartedly agree. Excellent!” http://www.thenewroxette.com/reviews.asp “Like a Joy Division-Kraftwerk test tube baby, 1877 rebirths eighties melancholy in a clean, disruptive package. Released through dead pilot records, the namesake single, ‘I am an Antagonist’ fuses hollow vocals drilling lyrics “no future…we have” with brilliant crisp electronics and fading guitar. Yet ironically, B-side “Narcolepsy” wakes 1877 into their own, away from the shadow of their musical ancestors. 1877 paces the prolonging bass and rapid percussion with synthetic grace; their gloomy mediation of waking up “every day” rekindles our tangs for irresponsible adolescence. – Gemma Dempster ” http://www.supersweet.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=981&Itemid=27&PHPSESSID=e8d380b6aa47ba362745feebf8e19819 The single is out next month, limited to 100 copies!
