[Weekly Recap] 30 April – 6 May
Two big points of news over the last few days, new music notwithstanding. First of all, the Dream Catalogue label recently announced a large series of pre-orders for reissues of cassettes for a variety of previous releases. Some of these include long sought-after releases like the split between Nmesh and t e l e p a t h テレパシー能力者, HK by HKE, and Fortoken by Slime Mask. They’re all available for £9 GBP, not including shipping costs.
The other point of news is that the Nirvana Port label has been revitalized. Sometime two weeks ago, Nirvana Port underwent a redesign of their Bandcamp page – which Sunbleach joked that it might mean something on the previous Weekly Recap. (I’ll try not to gloat.) This past Saturday (5 May), Nirvana Port reissued ten albums from the defunct Acid Medical label, which closed down earlier this year. Coinciding with the reissues, the Port also released a new vapordrone album exclusive to the label.
