Marijuana Deathsquads is Ryan Olson, Isaac Gale, Stefon Alexander (P.O.S.), and Ben Ivascu. The first official release from this Minneapolis-based noise collective turns experimental improvisation on its ear and contemplates a whole new level of auditory collaboration. Crazy Master brings together lunatic knob tweaks and a cacophony of drums with vocalist Isaac Gale's haunted, bestial howls merged between four long-form tracks.

The album comes packaged in a gate-fold jacket screenprinted by Burlesque of North America, and comes with a download, full-color sleeve, and a bonus print. Featuring: Freddy Votel (Skoal Kodiak, COWS), Mark McGee (To Kill A Petty Bourgeoisie), Jason Power (Slapping Purses), Albert Elmore, Jeremy Nutzman (Spyder Baybie Raw Dawg) and Chris Rose (Vampire Hands)


 

The Cloak Ox
Prisen EP

1. AllahYouAkbar
2. Prison
3. My Papa
4. Vacuum Cleaner
5. Artist At The Door
6. Wax Museum



 

 

Prisen is the debut release from The Cloak Ox. It is smartly written rock and roll, purposeful and sinister. A six song mini-album of epic proportions- it's songs spiked with dark humor and vivid imagery, played with bar-band vigor. Rarely does a band debut with such a strong effort as their first release, if ever at all.

With nine tracks that run just over one-half hour in total, the album is an engaging adventure that grips the listener from start to finish. A great journey of an album.

Grimeworld is the first official release from this drugged-out, party-hungry, pair of booty clappers. Self-describes addicts of drugs and loose pelvis, SBRD & 2% Muck make their muses clear from track to track. While this approach to rap music can sometimes limit an artist’s creative scope, Grimeworld is an explicit jouney of progressive, dub-steppy beats, covered in fantastic raps and catchy-as-hell vocal leads. Album includes a coupon for a free download of the entire album in digital form.


Jm Airis

2. First Of Many

7. Slow Scene
8. Grave Days
9. Blood Song
10. Escape Patterns
11. Love Is All Around

 

Indian Summer is a collection of solo recordings written and performed by 28-year old Jon Airis. The record unearths a journeyman songwriter, every bit as much an artist as an engineer. Airis’s recordings are largely anti-virtuoso, tastefully exploring song layers in a variety of sound rooms, giving an unusual honesty to his work and highlighting location as more player than muse. Full-color LP jacket, with printed record sleeve and download code included for high-quality digital formats.


Leisure Birds
Copper Scroll

2. Copper Scroll
3. Straight Line For The Sun
4. Polynesian Triangle
5. Ruby Soul
6. Demon Haze
7. Say So
8. Down The Drain
9. Tetragrammaton

 

This is the debut release from the Minneapolis-based band Leisure Birds. It's nine solid songs, rich with guitar flourish and tamborine textures that flow from start to finish with grace and ease. This record's eerie vibe will captivate you whether you are alone in your car, or in the late night hours out living life with your friends. A simple genre tag would lean towards psych-rock, but it's more lush than that. It does draw you to a different time, but it's unclear whether it's the past, or the future. The record comes packaged in a full-color 12" LP jacket, with a download code included for high-quality digital formats. Artwork throughout was designed by Lisa Luck, with typographic work by Loren Smith.


Voyager

3. Abyssal Spectre
4. Noise
5. Satan's Antithesis
6. Archetype Of Beauty
7. Merit Of Effort
8. Chevron
9. Inert Symmetry
10. Serotonin Or Death

 

Voyager’s genesis dates back to the early aughts in which vocalist, keyboardist and principle songwriter Jon Kuder began composing the labyrinthian keyboard foundation for what wouldn’t come to fruition until years later. In 2006, guitarist Seth Rosetter and drummer Jon Coe jumped aboard and the trio set to work arranging Kuder’s Bach-like compositions to a live-band project that would obliterate the pomp and pretension of classical influenced progressive rock for something dirtier, heavier and a touch more surreal. This is their first official release, brought to you as a co-release with the Soothing Almonds Collective.
