Kurt Vile on Skulltones!

Saw this listed the other day on Volcanic Tongue:

Kurt Vile
Fall Demons
Skulltones SKT-010
7"
£6.99

Hand-numbered edition of 375 copies five-track EP from Vile, who channels the ghost forms of Roky Erickson, Skip Spence, Alan Vega and David Johansen across the space of a buncha minimal bedroom nuggets. A mix of home recordings and studio work with a final track recorded by Sore Eros in 2002.

I mention it because dull knife had it for a few hours, and haven't seen it anywhere else yet, they might be the only place to get it, which means that single is traveling some serious distance. I'm going to probably miss this one, and God dam I get mad just thinking about it. I'm surely listening to constant hitmaker right now and crying.

Trippin' the riffs between some catchy freedom rock and Fripptronics, Kurt is back with brand new songs on this single. Last year's CD on Gulcher was a year end favorite and his recent west coast tour showed that the riffbag runs deep. New record out later this year on Matador... looks like he's growing up fast.

Available from Volcanic Tongue, Revolver, Fusetron, Dull Knife, Armageddon Shop, and others soon.

400 copies, including 25 test presses for West Coast tour.

Shit and Shine - Cigarette sequence

SHIT & SHINE "Cigarette Sequence" (Skulltone) 7" 5.50

This is interesting, this kind of pschye-noise coming from England, this is a case of the youtube videos handheld crappy dv microphone probably adding another invaluable layer of hiss and fuzz to this multiple drummer band, it's kind of helping the murky mess of static. The mics are too close to the kick drums and end up really clipped and kind of weird crackly sounding.
All the live footage has them playing with at least 5 drummers, it seems a little gimmicky, they all play the same droning 4/4 stomp beat, I wonder if they could be used better for something really insane and complex. But then I guess that's not the point of this it's more like an overwhelming army of beating and droning guitar wall of sound, that comes through even in a bad 10 second video.
Directly from skulltone.

From Aquarius:
We thought UK noiseniks Shit & Shine couldn’t get any more brutal or abrasive or, well, noisy, but of course we were dead wrong… This two track monstrosity lets us hear us two very different sides of the multi headed S+S beast. The A side finds the band kicking up an absolutely ear shredding din, so noisy and blown out that it’s almost impossible to hear the actual band. There are multiple drummers, and multiple bass players, but here it sounds like they’re all armed with white noise machines and sine wave generators. Layers of in-the-red buzz and high end hiss, super distorted vocals and a murky rhythmic throb. It almost sounds like what we wished Merzbow sounded like, a fierce super dynamic heavy as fuck white noise juggernaut. But then there’s the unexpected B side, which is downright tranquil, a carnivalesque loop warbling beneath children’s voices, tons of delay and reverb, a dizzying blur of funhouse ambience. Weird as fuck, but somehow a good balance for the chaotic skree on the flipside. LIMITED TO 300 COPIES. Each one hand numbered.
