http://fabricarecords.comNew Releases:VINYL:THE TOBACCONISTS A Secret Place LP
The Tobacconists are Scott Foust (Idea Fire Company) and Frans de Waard (Kapotte Muziek/Beequeen). "A Secret Place" is a sound collage of fractured synths, industrial thumps, sampled distant voices and eerie atmospherics. Foust and De Waard are self-proclaimed Dome enthusiasts and "A Secret Place" feels like a reverential yet wholly original nod to Bruce Gilbert and Graham Lewis's post-Wire works. Printed in an edition of 300 on translucent green vinyl as a split release with A Giant Fern (Portugal). Only 150 copies for the U.S.
UNICORN Playing With Light LP
Issued a decade ago as a CD on Housepig, Unicorn's beautiful and sinister album "Playing With Light" is re-introduced to listeners as a rearranged and remastered LP. Unicorn is WT Nelson, known previously as party to 90s avant-hardcore outfit Man is the Bastard and its spawn, the prolific Bastard Noise. "Playing With Light" features three tracks originally prepared to accompany short films by Stephanie Miller, and, interspersed with standalone compositions, works cohesively to limn a world where the alien oscilloscapes of Bastard Noise merge with earthy synths and electric mandocello. The album opens with a transfixing music box motif that wouldn't be out of place ushering in the opening credits of a vintage thriller. In "Spots," the 10-minute centerpiece track, a mostly unaccompanied synth melody uses syncopation to create the impression of stumbling through darkness. "Clay & Fire" threatens to burst into full-bore power electronics territory but doesn't; the narration we hear is not a transgressive confession but instead a factory worker's discovery of pottery as a respite from his labor. From there the record offers an electronic crescendo before resolving in the almost-comforting "Far Away; Close To You," which trails off in Morse code blips clearly transmitted but only possibly received. "Playing With Light" is unique in Nelson's discography and is entirely deserving of this vinyl reincarnation. "Rhodes, Electric Mandocello, Various Trogotronic Electronic / Electro Acoustics Prototypes & Field Recordings."
Mastered by Timothy Stollenwerk and presented in an edition of 250 copies with download code.

KILT She's Got The Evil In Her Ear C-60
KILT are Bob Bellerue, Raven Chacon and Sandor Finta exploring and excavating sounds that could only rise from within the darkest crevices of the human spirit.

PARASHI Tovarich C-30
Albany, NY's Parashi is Mike Griffin, of Skell Records, long-running solo noise project."Tovarich" is a fine addition to his ever growing catalog of noise activism geared towards the creation of a "new human" by hammering away at the shackles of petit-bourgeois values and capitalism.Electronic bleeps and blasts, industrial loops, warped synths, ravaged tape loops, are all part of this brainwashing soundtrack made to tell the dried up corpse of Ronald Reagan to f*ck off because "that WALL is going back up motherf*cker!" Mike also regularly collaborates with his fellow comrades in Burnt Hills, Urkas, and Mensheviks. Pro-dubbed edition of 50 audio cassettes.
