FAXMASKIN/FERLA
Hånstaur/Entre Ondas Imóveis C58

Oslo, Norway-based Faxmaskin's three-track, half-hour debut exhibits a genuine affection for vintage analogue sounds, shifting from swirling synths to more subdued drone-y kraut pop before ultimately climaxing on the all-out Basic Channel-esque 17+ minute title track.

Brazilian wunderkind Felipe Ferla da Costa calms things down considerably on the second side with a set of tranquil ambient drones that transports the listener from vast oceans depths to outer space and back. Originally self-released digitally earlier this year these five pieces are finally given an official hard copy release.

Pro-dubbed high quality normal bias cassettes limited to 50 hand-numbered copies.

NAVEL
Ambient 4: Luneburg Heath C42

On their first release in over two years (and first ever on cassette) Stuttgart, Germany's Navel pick up where they left off on 2009's excellent Ambient 1: Music For Spaceports, using a fairly basic rock band setup as the basis but adding a wealth of other instruments in order to create three lengthy and impressively diverse, texture-rich ambient drone pieces.

Pro-dubbed high quality normal bias cassettes limited to 50 hand-numbered copies.

TATZELWURM
Erstwhile C82

On their first proper tape release Tatzelwurm fully explore their affection for improvised drone jamming with three massive pieces that alternate between soothing, rich drones, atonal static and feedback noise, all while retaining the punk aesthetics that defined their earlier self-released bootleg tapes.

Pro-dubbed high quality normal bias cassettes limited to 50 hand-numbered copies.

LONG POND
Pageants C38

On his second physical release, Tampa, Florida's Anthony Record lays down a set of four incredibly rich, shimmering synth-based drone pieces. Shorter in scope and brighter in tone, albeit most certainly recognisable to those familiar with the excellent A Fog Of Unrest released earlier this year.

Pro-dubbed high quality normal bias cassettes limited to 50 hand-numbered copies.
