Parasite – Dreams That Cast the Deep Web
Recommendation: ☹ Dreams That Cast the Deep Web comes from Parasite, an anonymous artist who – according to the RKM Records blurb – submitted this album with no further information.

Samasukuru has had a productive last few weeks. Coming only recently off of a split on Evaporated Sounds, the artist now has お友達! available on RKM Records.

According to the press release, the cassette was “salvaged from a VHS tape found at a bus stop in Kings Norton, Birmingham at 3:00 on the 15th of September.” The […]

It’s not very often anymore that I see a set of alt-codes or other keys that I’ve never seen before, but wow, this one certainly hits the mark. ཧ༐࿏༽ by Apk ♀ ᴎᴇᴛ ☯ Ltd℻ is a single twenty-one minute track of vapornoise and some of the most messed-up ECCOJAMS put to the airwaves. The track begins on a heavy […]
