NEW LABEL: HOT RELEASES
the website isn't quite ready but info and sound clips are here :
myspace.com/hotreleases

these records below are ready to go: :

JEFF REHNLUND - GANGNAM BASEMENT LP. 10$
a completely idiosynchratic and slippery album of honey religious field
recordings, noise, tape collage with sprinklings of nitrous-damaged pop
recorded during a year abroad in Korea. Highly listenable, Jeff has it going
on...Handmade art, 300 copies.

AMERICAN BAND - LOW FICTION LP. 10$.
2nd full-length collaboration between Lee Counts, Matt Franco (of Air
Conditioning, Holy Family Parish), and Jason Crumer - power tools on scrap
metal, and by the way one of the rawest light shows of any band ever (sheets
and sheets of sparks). This record is more spare and moody than their first,
lush/industrial, elegiac sanders and spareness building up to and blasted
away by the brutal second side. Real proud to be putting this one out! 500
copies.

ANDREA STROUD - KILLER WORKOUT c-30 cass. 4$. Audio from aerobics tapes
crushed into buzzing chunks, diva moments in tact. diary of a weirdo alone
in her basement- - - Includes fold out poster of cherry photography.
