koenich - early morning sailing cassette

franz kindermann has been a long time friend and contributor to many releases on this label and my personal musicianship. he has provided his thorough ear and poducing skills to improve the sound of many duct hearts recordings, even played bass on a few songs and live shows, released the LP of his former band plans for nobody on time as a color and also co-produced and mixed a new musical encounter of mine coming out this summer.

he’s been writing songs for a bunch of years now and finally tracked them down last year. what he came up with was a massive load of songs which he now released as two projects, one a more alternative, corporate rock thing entitled ‘temple’, musically pretty much picking up where he ended with plans for nobody, although with a lot more influences spread across many genres of modern electric guitar rock.

the other being a modern acoustic project entitled ‘koenich’, predominantly instrumental, spanning from almost classic guitar playing to typical moody inward turned singer/songwriter music with obvious influences from many genres including country and pop, some sad and dark, some uplifting, some both at the same time.
it even has a train song, if that isn’t going full circle on an emo label’s page I don’t know what is…

i’m happy to offer both these cassettes in the shop, also happy to trade these or offer to shops/distros at wholesale rates. of course all copies include a download code, but you can also purchase a digital download only from the artist directly

the work in artwork: wishes on a plane – unreleased LP out now and video streaming on youtube

wishes on a plane - unreleased

If you’d like to learn about the process of handicraft and assembly of the LP artwork, please check out this video I added to youtube. The record is out now and can be streamed in full.

clocking in at a little over 30 minutes playing time these unearthed 5 songs, intitally recorded in 2005 show the band’s musical origins, before screamish and post influences kicked in and formed records like ‘this faint line’ (released in 2008). mostly influenced by classic mid 90s emo bands and recordings such as jimmy eat world’s ‘clarity’, texas is the reason’s ‘do you know who you are?’ or the get up kids’ and christie front drive’s entire discography, some 00’s pop punk like the ataris and a more mature take on emo like elliott on ‘false cathedrals’ we get a suprisingly poppy at times, yet fragile and imperfect record, unconventionally arranged, rough and rocking that deserved to rise from the old harddisk it hibernated on for almost 15 years.

also today (and today, may 1st, only) we are offering the record for name your price on bandcamp

sirens of crisis – abyssos cassette out now

sirens of crisis - abyssos cassette
sirens of crisis - abyssos cassette
great mix of atmospheric doomy parts and garage style punk inspired blastbeats. printed red cassettes in beautiful screenprinted cardboard box. limited to 100 copies

SIRENS OF CRISIS hail from Leverkusen in Germany. In their songs they combine their musical preferences for D-Beat, Crust, Doom, Hardcore, Sludge and Punk. The band exists since 2013 and has been playing live since then. In the end of 2014 the self-titled debut with seven pieces was released and in 2015 the accompanying video for the song “Erde Kaputt”.

The new 2020 release “Abyssos” continues on the course and combines fast D-Beat passages, wide, mostly melodic guitar walls, sluggish and gloomy parts and the distinctive, crust typical vocals. The album was recorded by Tobias Schmelzer in Wermelskirchen and mixed and mastered by Mario Dahmen at the Liquid Aether Studio in Schleiden.

super limited duct hearts / trembling hands 7″ available now

trembling hands / duct hearts split 7"

very limited 7″ celebrating the 10 year existence of duct hearts. this is basically half of the divided by water compilation.

when we had the divided by water 2×7″ pressed a few copies of the c/d side records were missing/faulty, so we ended up having 7 spares of the a/b side. so now, 10 years after the split 7″ with mio came out (actually this would’ve been in late 2019 but whatever!) we thought it would be nice to use these as a little anniversary release. they are handnumbered out of 8, but only 7 exist. so there is no 7/8. sorry, my mistake! this comes in a handstamped and handwritten inner sleeve with a spare copy of the cover cut down into a vertical stripe. also includes the full inlay of the 2×7″ version
