DAN BURKE / THOMAS DIMUZIO

Upcoming Events

(No Fun) Used CD $3.00

An unending spur of equal parts gorgeous and uncomfortably perplexing sound spread across fifteen tracks from 2008. Crackles of electronic fire, tremolo-infused waves of sustained guitar, broken music boxes and found sounds among all other sorts of unfounded wails of gargantuan melancholy drone, Burke and Dimuzio’s collaboration is a forceful, early industrial sound ruination combined with classic krautrock ambiance of the Tangerine Dream / Cluster ilk.

CONSUMER ELECTRONICS

Nobody’s Ugly

(No Fun) Used LP $8.00 (Out-of-stock)

Two tracks from 2007 by Philip Best, produced by William Bennett. “A symphonic tirade of distortion and industrial noise signals…. On ‘Black Cotton Wool’ there's some rampaging, squealing menace lurking beneath the surface, whereas ‘Grubbing’ relies upon a low frequency throb that seems to have undergone some sort of time-stretching and EQing to maximize the stomach-upsetting potential.

DINO FELIPE

No Fun Demo

(No Fun - NFP31) CD $5.00

On this 2008 CD, "there are melodic, structured songs," says Pitchfork, but Felipe's "approach is still hazy, off-kilter, and weird. Most of his tunes sport skewed hooks and off-key riffs which get dipped in fuzz and echo, half-hidden by distortion, pitch shifting, and ghostly distance. "

CARLOS GIFFONI

Adult Life

(No Fun) Used CD $5.00

Venturing closer to austere, experimental electronics, Giffoni’s thick band of oscillations from 2008 is underscored by a rhythmic pulse. Rising and falling sweeps, dusty switches, and a block-by-block composition style that mesmerizes the listener before catching him or her off-guard with a sudden change. Sealed

JOHN WIESE

Circle Snare

(No Fun) Used CD $4.00

Composed and realized during a European tour in 2008, Wiese scrutinizes his native tongue and vocabulary, and seeks new forms of grammar and cadence, as only extensive dives in unfamiliar waters can inspire. His given electronic anatomy of drum machine, microphones, tapes, and MSP break formation in this finely detailed album.
