HOUSE RULES *********** Distr. : NE - Clear Spot/ Style : sound art / experimental / HR 1 DRUNK ELK DRUNK ELK LP 11.2017 In 2007, the Australian trio Drunk Elk recorded a singular self-titled cassette for Sean Bailey's Inverted Crux label. Despite limited release, the album circulated through the freakier channels of the international underground via bootlegs, private downloads, and whispered praise. While Drunk Elk has since spawned a string of equally powerful releases, this first album remains exceptional. It is a snapshot of the band in embryo, exuding the kind of vulnerability only achieved when nobody else is listening. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HR 2 RUSSIAN TSARLAG GEL STATIONS PAST LP 11.2017 'Gel Stations Past' brings together tracks from three shadowy self-released cassettes by Russian Tsarlag: 'Decrepit Gas Station', 'Living In The Past' and 'Dipped In Gel'. Dubbed in minimal quantities and cloistered for private worship, much of Russian Tsarlag's recent output remains hard to find. Each of these albums dispersed instantly among friends and fanatics and receded into legend. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HR 3 GOLDEN TEACHER G.D.D.E. LP 03.2018 Golden Teacher was born in early 2012, when members Ollie, Laurie, Rich, Sam, Cassie, and Charlie gathered at Glasgow's legendary Green Door Studios and packed 7 cassettes with raw, rhythmic improvisations. These instrumental sessions, dubbed 'Green Door Disco Band' (or 'G.D.D.B.'), were a covert prologue to the band's infectious and hallucinatory dance music. Originally issued via cassette on Golden Teacher's own Akashic Records, this vinyl edition compiles G.D.D.B.'s most commanding moments for an explosive re-introduction to the band's emergent boogie. ======================================================================================= www.shinybeast.nl
