UN021 Christopher Riggs "Amazed Nova" cass £3

Prolific guitar whizz Chris Riggs specialises in coaxing and battering all sorts of wrong sounds from his 6-string. If you have heard any of his other releases on labels like Hanson or his own Holy Cheever Church, you know to expect none of the usual twang or strum. Here, he paints a dense and detailed wall of bizarre tone, from ancient sounding music-box jitters to uncomfortable amp thud.

UN022 Pyroclastic Pontoon Quintet cass

SOLD OUT - GET IT HERE

UN023 Tuluum Shimmering "River Gods Strike Tuned Bronze Flowers" CDR

SOLD OUT - GET IT HERE

UN024 D.O-NEIMAGI-N.E/I-AMBNECESSNO "A No Place" CDR £4


Spit-close overloaded musings, backwardness, broken electrical clatter. A kind of musique concrete/cut-up/sound poetry symphony that is a pure treat. This is the first lengthy taste of his grim aesthetic available for pubic consumption. Glaswegian beauty like no other.


UN025 Precious Trombley "Simple Fighting" £3

If you search for these goofs on youtube, you'll see them jammin their thang on some Detroit street, looking like doobie-tooting youths who been spending too long trying to capture the cavemen-playing-free-jazz aesthetic which is so hot right now. On this tape they throw in some fizzling electronics and moaning trombone to the mix. Art by Knox Mitchell.

UN026 Elfenbeinturm "1982 - Pizza, Beer & Smokes" cass £3


A ritualistic lament for half-remembered smoked out youth. Datashock man Pascal Hector twists backed-up chatter, tape collage, analogue synth and primitive conga taps around themselves. Welcome to this guy's private universe, you'll like it.

LEITH FESTIVAL LOWBROW NOISES

For those in Edinburgh, the Leith Festival is on from 5 - 14 June. A traiditonal community festival with a varied programme of arts, music etc etc. And this year, you get this junk too:::

Giant Tank Presents: Muscletusk/ Wounded Knee/ Scrim/ Dora Doll & Ali Robertson
Tuesday 9th June, Queen Charlotte Rooms, 56a Queen Charlotte Street, Leith
£5, doors 7.30pm sharp
Buy tickets here: www.leithfestival.com

Edinburgh experimental label Giant Tank showcases a cavalcade of Leith-based avant-noise practitioners in their own 'hood. Expect homebrewed electronics, leadweight clatter, outsider vocals, blissful drones and improv absurdia.

"...Reasons to go see Giant Tank... Edinburgh's premier promoters of aktionist noise happenings... It's not music. It's just noise. And there is nothing like it... It's not big. Or clever. But at various times it promises a stomach-churning, vomit-inducing, spiteful ugly and puerile racket. All of which are to be encouraged..." - The List
