barabbas, du förtappade, eretia, gros enfant mort and nicota LPs

I received a wonderful box from slovakia so here’s a bunch of new items and additional stock from salto mortale music:

barabbas, du förtappade – discussions on existentialism LP
Fresh screamo straight out of Stockholm, Sweden, contaiings themes of alienation in cities of capitalism, death, political apathy and exhausting communications and relationships.

eretia – quietud LP
The band’s ability to create a powerful and atmospheric sound that is both heavy and delicate is truly impressive. The musicianship on display is exceptional, with each band member playing an integral role in the music.

janpalach – celestials LP
debut LP from this ukrainian band, dedicated to people who suffer from mental health.

gros enfant mort – la banalité du mal LP
Awesome sophomore LP from this french hardcore/screamo solo project for fans of daitro and young yountain.

nicota – III LP
intense and at times chaotic atmospheric hardcore from the czech republic

FIND THEM ALL HERE

also I got a few copies of the beautiful
cuthbarts / we are on fire split CD
this series  pays homage to the “post marked stamps” series released by Tree Records in 1999. Cuthbarts play music ephemeral and beautiful like Mineral. We Are On Fire are a bassless band. There is a fragility and melancholy that makes use of the charm of the gaps in the sound.

I’ve added a bunch of different payment options via paypal to the shop, including direct/express checkout that shouldn’t demand you entering your address or making an account on my site, and it should enable “später bezahlen” (pay later), which I think was no option earlier.

also without needing a paypal account you can now choose from a bunch of different payment options that weren’t available before, like paying via giro card, Lastschrift/Direct Debit, express wire transfer and whatnot.

I am still hesitant going down the google pay / apple pay rabbit hole, would those options be vital to people?

 

and in case you missed it, there’s a new amid the old wounds video, too!

amid the old wounds - close to home (the get up kids cover)
eretia - quietud LP
gros enfant mort - la banalité du mal LP
barabbas, du förtappade - discussions on existentialism LP

swan districts – tapeography, dignity for all LP and 石の犬 aka ishinoinu 7″

swan districts - tapeography 2xMC
swan districts - tapeography 2xMC

contemporary australia-based emo bands have always had a way of undeservedly keeping a low profile in the western world, staying unnoticed by most while being cherished a lot by few. swan districts from adelaide are a perfect example for that. being active for only 2 years, the band put out a handful of small run cassettes before disbanding in 2011. I am happy to release the full discography of this dreamy australian lo-fi instrumental twinkly postrockish emo duo, remastered by will killingsworth at dead air studios. it is available now everywhere you stream music and as a super limited double cassette box.

60 copies were made, 20 were destroyed being shipped to australia, 20 are available from the band. do the maths, if you want it, don’t wait.

featuring john of no action, nebraska etc, this release includes almost 90 minutes of music, 14 songs in total, featuring all songs from kanda, the coming into land EP, the crepuscular rays over yorke peninsula EP and the split with benjamin zubkevych, spread over 2 music cassettes, baby blue and baby pink. comes in handstamped kraft paper cardboardboxes with a die-cut window, it also includes a full color 8 page zine with small details about the original releases, some concert flyers and leaflets and credits

listen and order here

I also received a wonderful box from rufen publishings in japan so here’s a pair of releases rarely available in central europe:

dignity for all – discography LP
This is a complete collection of songs by the 90s emo band Dignity for all from Sapporo. Dignity For All was one of the breakout bands in the late 90’s, you may have heard of them from a split 7″ they did with Jejune which was release in the USA by classic label BigWheelRecreation

石の犬 (ishinoinu) – hole, water 7″
poppy emo-influenced rock with postrock bits from japan

no action / amid the old wounds split 7″ out now!

no action / amid the old wounds split 7"
no action / amid the old wounds split 7"
no action / amid the old wounds split 7"
wishes on a plane - we're still june / blanket I (digital release)

two new recordings each band in a beautiful handmade black and white paper artwork with handstamped center labels and inner sleeve and torn paper edges

according to idioteq.com new action’s song ‘III’ is “a haunting symphony from Adelaide’s emo realm, summons the ethereal specters of The Hated, Evergreen, Hüsker Dü, and Comet Gain. With a relentless, pulsating rhythm, this emotional punk rock jam accelerates through the depths of human sentiment. Veiled in a mist of slightly distorted vocals, the organic essence of its sound resonates with the raw, untamed spirit of a truly honest offering. This ephemeral, simply crafted, yet hearty and genuine, “III” unfolds its poignant narrative in a mere two minutes, leaving listeners wanting more.” of course their second song ‘monument to taste’  is just as much of a banger.

amid the old wounds contributes two songs that mark the start of a new chapter of work titled ‘half alive’. musically they don’t stray too far from what the artist presented on his predeceeding 7″ ‘rebreather’, maybe they are even a little sadder, and more intimate.

records include a download code for all 4 songs. edges are handtorn, which makes every copy unique. available in opaque dark green and black vinyl

this was coreleased with magic hour records (aus), rufen publishings (jap), softseed music (usa/can), sncl (uk), polar summer (rus) and salto mortale music (slv), so if you’re in their area please consider ordering from them

also out:
wishes on a plane – we’re still june / blanket I
‘we’re still june’ was released on the DATH+ NO3- compilation in 2007, ‘blanket I’ on the split CD-R and 7″ with bail in 2009 and 2011, and a few compilations. they weren’t available on streaming platforms, so we made this little digital release. enjoy!

amid the old wounds floppy disk and mira 7″

amid the old wounds - lend me forever floppy disk
amid the old wounds - lend me forever floppy disk
mira - s/t 7" + CD

during preparation of some wishes on a plane re/releases I unearthed this 3 track demo song presumably recorded sometime november/december 2004. I’ve given this to a compilation before but wanted it to have a physical release too, so I made some floppy disks in spraypainted guitar string envelopes which I will randomly throw in with orders or distribute to other places while supplies last. I ran out of envelopes now but will make more copies in the future. physical copies are meant to be name-your-price benefitting my friend franz @ koenichsound, who has been a constant supporter of amid the old wounds since day one, please consider supporting him by buying a download of the song or our collaborative project ‘their something borrowed, glory’ from his bandcamp

furthermore I received some copies of the beautiful
mira 7″
it’s a one-sided 7″ with music by members of manku kapak, kubiak, they sleep we live and ilill, includes a zine with lyrics and a CD-R with the same songs. hefty elaborate packaging with wood/lino-cut covers
