FUNGUS BRAINS

Ron Pistos Real World

(Load) Used LP $10.00

2011 reissue of the 1983 classic by these Melbourne, Australia legends. While it does feature a horn and unbridled guitar heaviosity from a very young Mick Turner (Dirty Three, Venom P. Stinger, Sick Things, Cat Power), it also sounds current with other rock and hallucinatory free range gack from the era, e.g., Birthday Party.

Royal Paint With The Metallic Gardener From The United States Of America Helped Into An Open Field By Women And Children

(Load) Used CD $3.00

Powerful live band with an experimental bent, a multi-headed sound, and a clear fondness for ugliness and grit. This 2004 album boasts noisy distorted guitar heroics, high-pitched whines, squiggles of dog-whistle frequencies, sustained fire alarm bleeps, token Indian and exotic, caterwauling vocals, splintered instruments, layers of droning noise, visceral sensations of heavy objects being moved and things being violently broken, ear-clenching debris.

Sightings

(Load) Used LP $12.00

Eleven songs from 2002 “to the left not only of obvious touchstones like early Sonic Youth and Yoko Ono’s primal scream period, but also of the comparatively normal DNA and Mars.

A bracing blast of a debut. Packaged in a screen-printed fold-over cover. Black vinyl
