The Trendees - We Are Sonic Art 12"
What's good in Oamaru? Not much but the Trendees. It's a tiny town (pop. 20,000) about halfway between Christchurch and Dunedin in the South Island of NZ, which makes it all the more staggering to hear such a violent mess come outta these loons. They all be older than this millenial who writes this; my guess is anywhere between 40 and 60 being the average age. But how the hell am I to know.
Anyway, we split-released this thing with Melbourne label Albert's Basement, and enthusiastically so. We feel this represents the underside of modern New Zealand; the sticky part of the boot-sole that nobody gets to see. It roars. Buy the damn thing to celebrate the recent end of the National Government in NZ -- a dark, 10-year chapter in everybody's lives in the music scene has finally come to an end so we all have reason to get loose.

New Releases For Sale/Distro Updates / Re: The latest goods from NZ label Melted Ice Cream
« on: November 02, 2016, 05:53:47 PM »
Blurk, been too long since I updated this. Here's what we got for sale.
NEWEST RELEASE
OPPOSITE SEX - HAMLET LP
This one's a bit special as it's our first co-release with a US label, NY's Dull Tools -- you guys might know it as the label of Andrew from Parquet Courts and Chris from Futurepunx. They put out really good post-punk, which is conveniently the exact thing that Opposite Sex are. This LP careens all over the place until it blows brains. Expect varying stylification, particularly that which clings to the meaty Xpressway girth. At this point I'm just smashing words into linguistic oblivion, so just read the damn quotes.
"Dark, beautiful and discomforting . . . The flow seems appropriate, and it creates a truly original record. Weird music for weird people. Fantastic." -MRR
"Over five minutes, Opposite Sex go from sad regret to literally screaming and pulling their hair out in a futile effort to appease the person they love." -Pitchf**k
"Man . . . vicious in the most subtle way. Listen." -Stereogum
HOO BOY: LATEST REISSUES OF OUR STUFF
CENTRE NEGATIVE - EMOTION IS CRINGEY LP [ever/never (US)]
My (collage of) songs, frantically-assembled in a pre-flight blitz. Sounds about as transitory as you could expect, which means the correct alley for anti-fans of evangelical christianity, cancer, and etc. My usual go-to's are X__X / Good Throb / Wire / C. Knox / Martin Rev / Culturcide, even though this sounds nothing like any of those. In summary: SO GOOD!!!!!!!
"...his songs are articulate and have a surprising sense of pop melody." - Tim Scott, No(i)sey
"Packed with post-ironic self-hatred and snarkily choreopraphed misery, and it suits their tunes nicely. They sway from semi-crusty acoustic jangle-rock to lightweight programmed beats, often led by a chorus of voices both affected and inebriated. Imagine some sort of style clash between The Frogs and Afflicted Man . . . They're a strange group for sure, pushing the limits of good taste without feeling like a tossed off waste of time." -Yellow Green Red
THE DANCE ASTHMATICS - LIFETIME OF SECRETION EP [ever/never (US)]
Thank VALIS for @erickeleric, whose great pink beam of light struck the idea of reissuing this great Christchurch post-punk EP into the forehead of whoever runs ever/never records. If you found THAT sentence delirium-inducing, try this record!
"It perverts time, place and circumstance - it truly is a wonderdrug of music. A filthy documentation of something none of us really experience outside of stills and stories." -Tiny Mix Tapes
"The Dance Asthmatics manage to stir it all confidently and smoothly, as if their leisurely pacing was the only way a band could ever choose to perform misanthropic alternative rock." -Yellow Green Red
"...careening PiL damage with Bailter overtones.." - Byron Coley
T54 - DRONE ATTACKS DELUXE CS [MIC / Forward Fast (US)]
Mighty Joe Sampson of Salad Boys / Dance Asthmatics fame has his band #3 here finally reissued on cassette format for the first time and includes a half hour of bonus matter. BUT: Limited to 75 copies worldwide.
AND FINALLY: MORE
T-shirts that we made and can be bought, etc.
Finally, someone cares! Here's MRR interviewing us in a feature for the latest issue. Grab it!
All the above and more (and more yet) at meltedicecream.bandcamp.com. Or, hey, just hit me up.
