Cousins Of Reggae / Mouthus
(Olde English Spelling Bee) Used Split LP $5.00
“A side each of fertile noise-rot from 2005. Cousins’ five-track suite about the Hudson Bay sets sail with hyperactive stompers and narcoleptic stumblers intent on capsizing all vessels in their path before coming under attack by a squadron of pissed off jet-skiers. On the flip, two massive Mouthus jams capture a day spent peaking on mescaline at the Daytona 500.” Edition of 500 with handpainted covers and full-color inserts.
Quartz
(Spanish Magic - SM013) LP $24.00
Blake Hargraves and Liam Thurston’s dirty rock overdrives everything from under a sickening haze -- guitar, drums, turntable, homemade feedback devices and homemade drum triggering systems. Volcanic Tongue admire “this Canada-based riot squad” for their “riffs that sound like ‘I Wanna Be Your Dog’ tied to streamrollers and dragged on their face through industrial warehouse [combined] with the deforming use of clotted effects [and] endless vistas of crunch.” All covers are handmade (screenprints, stencils, hand carved stamps). Australian import.
