| E.D! CASSETTE (SW005)  |

Ponyboy/Firetower
|
Ponyboy's "Firetower", a solemn approach to indignance, cascades noises with mechanical attachment.

Mary Okie/Verily

Noon/Gift Exchange
|
"Gift Exchange" by Noon is electrical dischordia. Demented and amorphic, it's a band-aid for bruised devotions. Exhausting and blatent, each piece is a primal urge, a survival of the commited.

Limited edition of 100. |
Dichroic Mass
|
Dichroic Mass' self-titled release circumambulates the psyche. A distant voice gravitates around a dual-thick, wool-laden melodic web.

Limited edition of 100. |
