Dark Wave, Industrial, Experimental, Electronic, Post-punk, Melbourne, Self Released; Limited Edition Cassette w/- Download code - As new
One of Australia’s most intriguing darkwave electronic acts, the tandem of Mohini Hillyer and Emma Hart as electro-tinged post-punk outfit Mollusc, has played a crucial role in defining and galvanising the growing darkwave scene in Australia, which has flourished in the latter half of the 2010s. Hypnotic and near-impenetrable in nature, the band’s 2015 debut EP is a sterling example of the power of the genre, blending a mixture of haunted industrial leanings, formidable throb-n-punch, a foreboding weight and simmering aggression. In six songs, Mollusc managed to take all the good bits of the genre and serve them up on a platter, setting a standard for the scene here in Australia. This is the original 2015 cassette release, later reissued on vinyl through 'IT Records'.

Soundtrack, Experimental, Dark Ambient, Noise, Musique Concrete; Limited Edition Cassette with badge pin (2016) - New
Disturbing and damaged collaborative score to FREE AS DEAD, an original experimental short horror film from the twisted minds of Romain Perrot and Andy Bolus. Our story concerns a man bound to death and a young girl, following a path of ritualistic transfiguration to ultimately become free as dead. A voyage into the darkest and most psychedelic nether regions of the subconscious. Ominous church organ creaks through choking sulfur, severely mangled. The film itself is a collaborative work, a shadowy 21 minute nightmare of evil excess, demented sorcery and lurid ritual. The soundtrack as presented here offers an extended view into the secret chamber, presenting nearly a full hour of grim atmosphere for the most demented of dungeon dwellers.

TINY MIX TAPES
USA, Noise, Harsh, Experimental, Power Electronics, Power Violence; (Darker Days Ahead Label) Limited Edition (25 copies) Cassette - New sealed
Here’s a split tape with a side project of Andrew Quitter from Regosphere and Cory Shumacher. Schumacher is up first with heavy noise walls. The distortion is piled on thick as molasses here with a ton of delay in the mix. Not the spastic cut-up style delay but the heavy booming delay which envelopes the whole mix. Fade sticks out a little with some really interesting sound elements like being battered by an electric wind storm. An unrelenting wall of harsh noise spews forth. A swirling miasma of aggressive frequencies, uncontrolled screams, junk noise and plenty of distortion to bring it all to the next level. A heavy slab of uncompromising noise, almost bordering on wall noise yet more detailed and large shifts in sound over time. A very enjoyable split from start to finish with two artists who compliment each other well. They were able to get on the same page for this and the result is quite effective. Recommended dosage of 1 listen every other night for three weeks straight and that whole “being able to hear things” issue will be cleared up for any listener.
USA Experimental, Electronic, Noise, Improv, Musique Concrete; Limited Edition (50 copies) '905 Tapes' Cassette (2010) - New
Here’s a great split with two very well paired artists. Hunted Creatures appears here as a 4 piece and Blown Doors a duo. Both projects play a kind of experimental/musique concrete style of composition that has an improvisational feel to it, but also with elements that are well though-out and expanded on. Blown Doors presents Unseen Glaze a highly layered and detailed track that features a heavy dose of bass, with shuffling textures that converge and elements that sync up rhythmically only to break down again and fall apart. The track makes use of a range of dynamics ranging from sparse and repetitive to bold and noisy but always slowly morphing and keeping a layer of bass – guitar maybe? – at it’s core. Hunted Creatures has a lighter touch here with an untitled track. Being a four piece it is quite varied with acoustic instruments – piano, violin perhaps – being used to create these experimental layers. The track has more common with side A then it contrasts, mainly in regards to structure, accents, and gestures rather than the actual textured sounds. It takes the listener on a similar journey though complimenting Blown Door’s sound well and expanding on the split. Great production, neat design and a well though-out and put together release. 905 Tapes shows consistent quality and is not to be ignored – doing tape releases right. A great split for fans of the more academic style experimental noise and free improv. Great work.
