"These two golden state crushers prove that you don’t need a lot of time to get it done. L.A. noise mainstay Jay Howard is Circuit Wound and his A-side is the aural equivalent of a sudden grab to the throat. Perfectly recorded sheets of distortion blast forth unrelentingly as destroyed electronics and mangled guitar take your skull for a wild, captivating ride. San Francisco's absurdly-named collective Al Qaeda (here in the core trio formation of Scott Miller, Eric Sanchez, and Erin Love) take a more cerebral approach. Set to the words of Stephen Hawking, the trio unleashes a steady stream of oceanic bass swells, walls of feedback, and melodic undercurrent. While it’s probably the shortest we’ll ever release, you’ll have to take my word when I say this tape is still remarkably satisfying. A perfect harsh noise quick fix. Just get ready to flip and repeat."

"After a string of releases on Small Doses, Digitalis Ltd., and Stunned, Denmark’s Mikkel Valentin Dunkerley adds another dead soldier to his arsenal of scorchers. Dunkerley considers Jungle Olympics to be his harshest work to date and he’s not kidding. Layer upon layer of heavily distorted guitar, electronics, field recordings, and effected vocals collide, compete, and ultimately envelop one another in a wild, frenzied fashion perfectly befitting the release title. Yet, through all the racket and clamor, a subtle, droning melody permeates and anchors each piece—leaving you hypnotized and begging for more."

"Headquartered in Newcastle, England, this worldly trio is the meeting of three tremendously-accomplished musical minds. Featuring Peter Nicholson on cello, Neil Davidson on guitar, and Jamie Allen (whose circuitMusic we released in 2008) on electronics, Música de ir ao o cu puts forth two masterful slabs of improvisation. Subtlety is the name of the game, with each piece constantly teetering on edge. Still, each player finds perfect moments to go shine through as hacksawed strings, motorik rhythms, and cyborg voices erupt into expertly calculated chaos. The end result is a work that’s utterly freeing, soulful, and downright exhilarating to behold."
