LF005 - Duncan Bruce New Glass Tapu (cdr)
Thought you had a grip on the whole New Zealand free noise/drone/freak scene? You best think again. Duncan Bruce (aka Rahmane) has been a shadowy figure on this edge-of-the-world noise steppe for the past decade. He’s hit downtime with the likes of Armpit, skronked heavy with Crude and layed down solo sax dervish rotations that have split skulls and flayed the skin offa legions of hornless infidels. Recordings are tough to track (Bruce has previous releases on Veglia and Freedom From), but New Glass Tapu is a fresh divination from the depths – 9 tracks of free jizz and radiation burn in the form of reed scouring feedback, decomposed electronics, piano blindness and astral drone. Sounds like some deep long lost 60’s freakout document recorded in the Rif and buried in a stale veil of opium/djinn haze. As with the best produce from these antipodes, this sounds a trillion miles out-there.
The cdr features team-ups between Bruce and talents of Clayton ‘CJA’ Noone (Armpit, The Futurians), Tim Cornelius (Sandoz Lab Technicians) and Lee Noyes (Wolfskull/Behemothaur) I’m ultra-excited to be releasing this cut of love from the man, it’s an ecstatic joy and hopefully fills in some more gaps in the labyrinthine story of the modern NZ sound thing.
100 copies, clamshell pack with shattered Glass Tapu art on cdr face.

LF/Phantomhead No Number - dsic / Ian Watson Phantom Dsic / Phantom Scum (2 x cdr)
Co-released with Phantomhead Recordings.
Western thunder blast! This is a very special wintertime mail collaboration between Cardiff’s Ian Watson (Sound of Aircraft Attacking Britain) and Bristol based dsic. Watson provided oddball mixer feedback outings and the results were churned/regurgitated back in Bristol nether-regions. The resulting dirge was split into two short sessions, the first easy/sleazy, the second as eyeball surgery. Phantom Dsic strays into some killer feedbacker territories and skuzz computing/electronics. The Phantom Scum cdr treads heavy water with cyclonic blasts of noise mayhem. Blackened vibes of doom ambient and digital gash bang heads in the best possible way. This should thoroughly dispel the vibes of West Country/Welsh mellow good-times.
Disc one comes in black as ash card-packaging with weirdo digital-realist gloss art. Disc two in an obsidian-mirror clamshell, just like John Dee intended. Limited to 50 copies.

LF004 - dsic Bush Psychedelia (3" cdr)
New Year cheers and all that, this is a soundtrack for the upcoming recession. Just under 20 minutes of electronics, heavier metals than quicksilver, and strange radio diabolism. Strictly limited to 17 copies, all that will ever be pressed into service – comes with feral inkjet cover and strangeart mini-cd goodness. dsic plays computer/effects.
£2 includes postage in UK (or £3 PP World) and access to 3rd track hidden online that wasn’t psych enough for the cut.
LF003 - dsic love city (cdr)
Shit man, this is Love City. L-O-V-E. Wretched drones formed from nebula slaughter in the form of tonal clipping and hazy electronics. A strange mixture of composed overtones and freedom power-processing. This one has been a long time coming, full length and full of smoke and mirrors. Sits halfway between punk noise and soporific badtime ambient. Features some M.O.R. rock too… hand dyed/stamped cdr and baby-blue card cover. over 50 minutes of sound.
£3 inc. postage in UK, £4 includes postage for World.
LF002 - dsic miniDsic (3" cdr)
limited edition 3" cdr. Static jumps and sound spikes, wallpaper peeling blasts of computer music. Bad news desktop music, frozen streaming media and furious shit. really.
£2 includes postage in UK, £3 includes postage for World.
