New Releases For Sale/Distro Updates / Frightening Lights / Wonderfuls

« on: October 20, 2014, 07:12:14 AM »

New australian release on bruit direct disques now ready, the frightening lights 1st lp after their stunning participation to the Albert's Basement compilation "A warm cupboard".

"Soft, caressing and subtly disturbing, Frightening Lights? songs move like menace through fog. Singer Elizabeth Downey says she first envisioned the songs as a kind of deathbed confession, their violence is carefully suppressed, modulated perhaps through long penitence. Shreds of instrumental sound ? a funeral organ, an offkilter accordion, discordant bowing on a borrowed danbo ? flit in and out of the peripheries, creating eerie, flickery landscapes around Downey?s sleepy murmurs."

The Frightening Lights will be available soon at Easter Bilby!

New Releases For Sale/Distro Updates / Re: SKY NEEDLE "Debased Shapes" out NOW

The moment Sky Needle?s second album Debased Shapes starts, it immediately becomes your new favourite album ever (FUCK The Garbage & The Flowers! No disrespect intended). Woozy and disorientating and groovesome (that?s some groove!) and friendly like that nicotine-reeking grandma plonked down next to you on the 385, array of plastic bags and all. Most of their instruments don?t have names, because most of their instruments didn?t exist until yesterday: percussion clatters like possums being stoned off a tin roof by eight-year-olds, strange little farting and squelching noises tap out crescendos like a battery farm of Spacemen 3 fans blowing up water balloons, a female vocal whispers and quacks and promises strange magic indeed ... all this is to the GOOD, you understand.

Music Shit / Re: have you seen the sex pistols?

« on: September 11, 2013, 09:59:14 AM »

I did not see them but I was invited (by the owner of the Music Action shop)
here's the "carton" that I have kept until now

alas on that night I was on a flight to NY where I spent a week basically at CBGBs
so it was not too bad missing the sex pistols I think,
otherwise I would claim that I'd seen them: I've read all the stories

Limited to 500. Debased Shapes is the 2nd long player from the Australian ensemble. Sky Needle play only hand-made instruments of their own concoction, manufacturing satisfying song chunks from at-times tonally alien stone. Drifting into territories only hinted previously by the links of Harry Partch or alternative American collectives like Sunburned Hand Of The Man, the most innovative thing about each frayed gem on this LP is how coherent and rewarding the mass is. Some structures hint at pop perversions - the presence of a discernible vocal certainly helps - but nothing ever settles for too long to bore.

New Releases For Sale/Distro Updates / SKY NEEDLE "Debased Shapes" out NOW

« on: September 10, 2013, 04:23:18 AM »

Bruit direct disques is back with australian band Sky Needle's second LP "Debased shapes" releaed just in time for their European tour (with Mad Nanna) starting tomorrow in London.
Review up at Volcanic Tongue, who are selling it:

Second full-length album from this amazing Australian homemade instruments orchestra, now upgraded to a seven piece big band: Debased Shapes is a revelation, with the group moving on from the weirdo Sun Ra/Moondog hands-on DIY improvisations of their first album into a liminal zone of left field pop synthesis and ?debased? songcraft. Parts of this beautiful album almost sound like a Scratch Orchestra re-imagining of the early Rough Trade sound, stuff like the Raincoats or even The Swell Maps re-crafted for clunky hands-on sound sculptures, with female vocals somehow directing every squawk and dunt towards a vision of psychedelic pop that comes out of invention more than technique. There?s still a dazzling afro-primitive free jazz feel to the choruses of honking geese and thrifty percussion but they feel more like hallucinatory song forms here, true DIY imaginings of heavenly pop hits. A stunning amalgam of sound sculpture, improvised percussive freak out and super personal pop vision. Still no one like them, highly recommended!

also available from little Big chief, tedium house, infinite limits
and us, at our completely revamped shop and site
http://bruit-direct.org/shop/
along with all our other releases, including the scorpion violente repress, etc.

combine and save!

thank you.

Non-Music Shit / Re: What comic books are you reading?

« on: April 24, 2013, 11:36:06 PM »

Saga's quite good, dunno about the hype (I don't know any other comic readers in france), I look forward to each upcoming issue of that.
titles I've enjoyed recently
story by Alan Moore and Malcolm McLaren (?!), I'm an Alan Moore fan though sometimes I'm disappointed, not on that one

only picked up this one issue, when I put it down I had to tell someone that is was "so great!", twas my girlfriend and she grinned back
the story is by bendis and I like what he's doing with the black kid spiderman (a bit disappointed by his daredevil end of days)

speaking of which
I love chris samnee since his thor stint, here he's at his best (I like rocketeer cargo of doom too though it looked to me more derivative of french ligne claire stuff)

yes, I do
except the issue that was not by aja and was a cash in on some catastrophe that I've now forgotten about

and now I present

best book I read last year, all categories!

Also sellers who list bootlegs and reissues for sale on the original releases page. "Oh but I'll get more hits! This will get more views and sell quicker!"

Report them.  Discogs takes these seriously.

they do. my listings for the reissue of the scorpion violente 12" were removed because of that, I created a new entry to be able to relist them
I still think it was a good idea to reach the people who wanted it
but, hey, I understand and appreciate the logic
