REUNION SACRED IBIS – Antikythera
The prince of Bloop Noise is back! Armed with little more than a Nintendo DS and a distortion pedal, Reunion Sacred Ibis sticks it to the old guard of chin strokers with simple and compelling stabs of no bullshit noise.

3'' CDR $6
CRAB SMASHER – Thick Mosquito Sky
A diverse selection of improvised tracks culled from two separate live recording sessions in 2009.

Hand screened inserts by artist Sarah Mould. Limited to 60 copies.
Cassette $7
MICHAEL CRAFTER – D.Y Or Die
Screaming through 12 tracks of posi party-violence and nonsensical grindcore, this dynamic duo of Matheson Vaughn and Dave Bate pay tribute to their reality TV namesake with good times, novelty humour, and somewhat fill the gaping hole in the musical cosmos left by Vaughn’s previous outfit Anal Discharge. As an additional bonus, the cassette version features an exclusive remix by electro funster Simo Soo. Limited to 50 copies.
CASSETTE $7
That Crab Smasher cassette is DA BOMB.
