905.118: WETHER + UNICRON SPLIT C62
half hour shots from wether and the delaware duo unicron. the wether track is a weird burst of phased out, smooth-to-the-touch layers mixed with overblown contact mic crumblings. the unicron boys blaze the freek-encies, teetering mean green blips and radio signals like carrots on sticks. you might even think you just heard the dog barking for a bite. |

905.117: DARK HAIR "BIRTH RUG" C50
cold beats and awkward pyledrivers. new project from john pyle, who delivered a track on the brains on backwash II compilation. dark hair gets shit a bit more focused with sonorous guitar/keyboard spirals and mucus thick distortion. |

905.116: BLACK ROLLER CROP ROTATION "MUSIC FOR CUTTERS" C62
ben fleury-steiner (light of shipwreck, et al) teams up with jeffrey bumiller for just over an hour's worth of extremely dark and overly menacing filth under the moniker black roller crop rotation. eight tracks in total mixing elements of blackened, industrial noise with swedish black metal. black! black! black! black on gold covers. |

905.115: TOTEM MOLD GROWTH "MOUNTAIN DEWDS" C20
first time as a duo, providing the possibility to deliver twice as much bloopage. side a features some insane panning saturation while the b side gets meditated and medicated on rare bird calls. |

905.114: JOE BREITENBACH "FINISHES" C23
two more gems from the joe b treasure chest. minimal, sequenced pulses shake and quake, creating a mist of sound that is pretty fucking trance-inducing. i would call the dude prolific, but he just bought an iphone. |

905.113: CAVE "II" C25
not to be confused with led zeppelin II, II is the second offering from local dude max gambill who goes by the name cave. not to be confused with the band cave who just released an lp on important records. okay, now that all that is out of the way... two murmur droners flicker and flood their way through both sides of this c25. dense and black, not unlike the gulf coast. |

905.112: WRETCHED WORST "THE DEADNESS" C62
live material from kentucky's scummiest troupe (and that is saying a lot) wretched worst. doom and gloom sludge, labored noisepunknoise racket that will bash your brain/skull to bits. heavy, distorted, fucked up, messed up. ugly groans and shitty pounded drum oblivion beauty! the first thing i heard from this group was a cassette on husk and it delivered the goods in a heavy way. so excited to lay this one out. |

905.111: RED ELECTRIC RAINBOW "LSD SUNSHINE" C35
insanely glossy keys and mesmerizing stereo flutters from the neon knight red electric rainbow. this guy lays out some of the most detailed and delicate sounds that bounce back and forth, up and down. all over the fucking place. it's like the audio version of one of those magic eye posters. MP3: side b (clip)

905.110: ROPED OFF + PICASSO TRIGGER SPLIT C30
a paralyzing cosmos ride from opposite coasters roped off and picasso trigger. roped off is the duo of mike haley (wether) and dave doyen (vales), delaware natives that, when added up, make the average height of two normal humans. picasso trigger is the latest from california's kevin mceleney, no stranger to the 905 roster (droughter, endless time, bruant des marais). both drip the icebox synth/electronic ooze, slowest motion style.

905.109: TOTEM MOLD GROWTH "VERL SPLURT" C92
substitute soundtrack to the 1993 classic freaked, starting alex winter (the other guy from bill and ted's excellent adventure) who also directed, wrote, and produced the flic. the dude had a vision, man. keanu reeves makes a cameo, which was pretty nice of him when you think about it. mr. t was in it, too. who the fuck is his agent, verl splurt or something!? this shit is weird.

905.108: ROMAN WOLFE "YLEM" C62

905.107: DOGBOX S/T C62
i got a package in the mail about a month ago that looked as if it was sent by a four year old. barely legible scribble on the envelope and a letter inside (click here to check it out) which read "dear 905 tapes, we saw your review and liked it. here is a tape. put it out on your music label. thank you. dogbox". the review they were talking about is one that i wrote on tabs out last year for a tape of theirs on scumbag relations. it was a total fuck-up, garbled mess and i loved it. this jam is just as exquisite. confused, bong ripper sounds from two 7-11 employees. the return address on the package is actually a 7-11. did i mention that? how perfect is that?! this must be a joke. these dudes can't exist. |

905.106: MICK BARR "BRAVE GRAVE #2: GUITAR" C92
the second of the brave grave series finds mick barr (crom-tech, octis, quix*o*tic, ...), known for one step past insane shredding, going irrational on guitar (sans any effects) for an hour and a half. sometimes it comes across as an absurd spinal tap solo that wont end, then turns into barr's patented (patent pending) frenzied, blurred-finger freak outs. it's brilliant, but at the same time the audio version of water boarding. |

905.105: TOTEM MOLD GROWTH "STRAIGHT-INTERNET-COPY" 2xC32
several fidgety itchers laid out onto two 32 minute cassettes, packaged in painted purple vinyl cases with full color jackets. tons of spray paint and spray adhesive... man, do they stink up the room. the jams are equally mephitic. quick buzzers and phased bloopage weaving in and out of each others breaking points for an hours worth of tmg-style bile. limited to five, given out to solid folk. |

905.104: FAMILY TREASURES + HUNTED CREATURES SPLIT C20
d. moore appropriates the outer limits synth/electronic mind wipe on the family treasures end. serious layers of sharp bites and wavering tones build and build and build. r. emmett brings the soothing, glacial chill-out moments blending mega deluxe drones with market place percussion and ultra slim, glitchy rhythms. it's like your brain is stuck in a rainbow. taste the rainbow. |

905.103: ANDREW COLTRANE + WETHER SPLIT C20
two cold train crunchers recorded onto an analog tape deck that i can almost guarantee busted back in the mid-80's and is missing the pause button. well, not missing, but i bet it broke off and fell inside the deck causing a rattle ever time you give it a good shake. anyway, the ac racket is turned up to 13 with these two basement brawlers. dude sounds pissed. the wether one was laid to tape while testing the limits of the pain killers i got for a broken hand. the limit was met by the way, and i don't remember recording any of this. sounds pretty damn good though. some screeching electronics and numbing pulses from something or other. MP3: wether: cast and pills (clip) |

905.102: 2673 "WHEN THE SINEW IS CUT, THE LIMBS SOON RELAX" C30
i asked kevin to do a tape, at the time on no horse shit, after playing a show with him in new jersey in february of 2007. well, three years later (almost to the fucking day!), the dude comes through with three solid tracks for a 905'r. better late than never, right? the a side features two slow-moving, porcelain drone scapes. synth work that is cold and eerie, using stretched out tones to forge superstitious vibes. side b focuses more on static charged walls of drenched electronics and bitter feedback. so worth the wait! 905 + 2673 = yes!

905.101: TEETH COLLECTION "905.101" C62
i crashed at matt reis' place this past october. it was one of those warehouses with ceilings so high the building practically begs for you to jam in it. "please play inside me! my natural reverb will make your heart feel like jello!" which is what we did, and you know what, that talking building was fucking right, man. matt knows the deal, and shows it on these five tracks. honing in on mainly acoustic elements like bells, metal on metal clatter, creepazoid scratching, and the like resulting in some next level teeth collection spookings. fun fact: teeth collection has appeared on three 905 tapes, but this is his solo debut. took long enough. |
