MACHIAVELLIAN ART ‘INDOCTRINATION SOUNDS’ LP OUT FEBRUARY 24TH Check out the new via the Echoes And Dust website here
PRE ORDER VIA THE LABEL WEBSHOP OR BANDCAMP SITE At last! After almost 20 years of Riot Season, I finally get to put out a release by a 'local' band. Coming out on a limited black vinyl LP, with a very limited mail order only edition which comes with a bonus CDR featuring the album tracks and the tracks from the bands self titled debut (previously only available on a very limited cassette) West Midlands five piece MACHIAVELLIAN ART follow up their self released and self titled cassette only album with their first release proper, 'Indoctrination Sounds' released February 24th via Riot Season Records. A Maximalist blowout of Sax-honking Noise Rock, Doom Metal, Hardcore Punk, and Shoegaze, with Industrial Noise, Howls, Paranoid Rambles, and pure Disdain for oneself and the rest of you layered on top. Indoctrination Sounds was conceived in various practice spaces in Digbeth throughout 2020 and 2021 and recorded at Ian Boult's Stuck On A Name Studios in Nottingham in the Summer of 2021, despite the best efforts of a global pandemic. Will Killingsworth mastered the record at Dead Air Studios. WATCH THE (AMAZING!) 'WATCH THEM CRAWL' VIDEO BELOW. DIRECTED BY ANDREW NORTHROP
BRUXA MARIA 'BUILD YOURSELF A SHRINE AND PRAY' LP OUT FEBRUARY 3RD
ORDER VIA THE LABEL WEBSHOP OR BANDCAMP SITE Delighted to be releasing the third BRUXA MARIA album 'Build Yourself A Shrine And Pray' album this month. January 27th to be precise. Limited to 300 copies ALL pressed on 'dread' black vinyl and with three double sided A4 inserts. 'Bruxa Maria are back on their third full length; be grateful. "Build Yourself A Shrine And Pray" is 45 minutes of pummelling, punishing fury as unrelenting and all-consuming as your anger at coming up short for the rent. The new record finds the band just as enraged as their 2016 debut, while continuing to evolve artistically. Bruxa Maria's huge bass and guitar, frantic drums, and banshee shrieking vocals build tension with few moments of release, the frenzy sometimes dissolving into feedback, static, and synth drones. Often the riffs have a swagger that makes you want to dance, and in a few places there are flashes of some genuinely pretty melodies and hooks. Those moments all shine through for just an instant before being shredded by the noise and wrath, torn apart flower petals under a line of razor wire. This is dark music about and against a darkening world, where anger and art are crucial to how we keep on keeping on. You can call it now, this is going to be the best record of 2023.'

FALLING FLOORS 'FALLING FLOORS' DEBUT LP OUT NOW
ORDER VIA THE LABEL WEBSHOP OR BANDCAMP SITE Delighted to announce the self titled debut album from UK trio FALLING FLOORS
Falling Floors is a psych-rock three piece, formed in the pandemic out of a desire for distraction from dark times and an unending stream of shit news (seriously, what the fuck is going on?) There's no master plan, no grand ambition, no product-market fit, just a shared love of 60s psych, 70s rock, and the fearless, genre-less experimentation of Krautrock and early prog to get us through. Riding the trans-Pennine underground (up the hill and out of the crags, down there, you know?), you can hear magical sounds coming out of the Valley. On a cold and wet Calderdale winter, the band recorded their self-titled first album, DIY, live, in two days in Hebden Bridge. Rawness not perfection and feel over finesse were the aims. This album, a trans-Atlantic joint release by Riot Season (UK) and Echodelick (US), lives by slips, fuck-ups, and simple, joyous expression. Falling Floors is Rob Herian (ex-feral stoner rockers Early Mammal) on guitar and vocals, Harry Wheeler (no ravers The Family Elan) on bass and keys, and Colin Greenwood (ex-shoegaze folk rockers No Sorrows) on drums. It's no one's project, and no one's in charge. But there's enough in common to keep it honest. The album, will be co released with US label Echodelick Records once again (as with the recent Mienakunaru LP) so folks over that side of the pond can grab it from Jeff when the pre sale begins (Nov 4th) should you wish to save yourself some postage/shipping costs
I hope you'll take a listen and fingers crossed you'll like what you hear. WATCH THE VIDEO FOR ALBUM TRACK RIDICULOUS MAN BELOW

Happy to say a new version of the 'lumbering mammoth' t-shirt from some years ago is now back in print. The front features a tidied up version of the mammoth logo with the 'moving at 33rpm since fuck knows when' phrase and the back features the classic tanks logo and 'forged in the Black Country, England' below it. The Black Country being the region of the Midlands that I come from. The shirt comes in two colour variants, a fancy chocolate brown shirt with cream front and back prints, and a classic black shirt with white front and back prints. Both are pro screen printed here in the UK, it's no cheap transfer tat! ORDER VIA THE LABEL WEBSHOP OR BANDCAMP SITE

SHIT AND SHINE 'LADYBIRD' 2022 REMASTERED DIRTY WHITE VINYL LP OUT NOW
ORDER VIA THE LABEL WEBSHOP OR BANDCAMP SITE 17th anniversary remaster. New sleeve artwork with photos by Steve Gullick and pressed on dirty white vinyl. Ladybird ... one perfect heavy as fuck hypnotic riff played over and over and over and over across 2 sides of an LP. Back when Shit And Shine formed, the idea was basically to sound like their heroes DRUNKS WITH GUNS and STRANGULATED BEATOFFS, using that same basic formula. A big dumb ass catchy riff played over and over until the joke gets old ... then keep going. Recorded live at Southern Studios, London (fun fact: the same room where BAUHAUS recorded 'Bela Lugosi's Dead'!) in 2004 with just two basses, a snare drum, a huge cardboard box and a tiny toy Casio sa-1 keyboard (using the "airplane" sound hitting the same key over and over for 41 minutes) Some still say it's the best thing shit and shine has ever done. I'm not arguing. Originally released on CD, and super limited vinyl waaay back in 2005. This was Shit And Shine's second release and it sold out REAL quick. Remastered and beefed the hell up by Craig Clouse at Shit And Shine Ranch 2022.
ACID MOTHERS TEMPLE & THE MELTING PARAISO UFO 'MYTH OF THE LOVE ELECTRIQUE' DOUBLE VINYL (2LP SET) OUT NOW!
ORDER VIA THE LABEL WEBSHOP OR BANDCAMP SITE Here's we go again! the second in a trilogy of 'first time on vinyl' releases from the AMT vaults. This time we have the 2006 classic 'Myth Of The Love Electrique', finally pressed on beautiful double vinyl and housed in a gatefold sleeve. They are two variants once again (as with the recently released Pink Lady Lemonade ~ You're From Outer Space 2LP). An independent record shop exclusive 'sun yellow' edition, and a mail order only transparent curacao blue version, with an exclusive wrap around (the spine) numbered OBI strip (while stocks last)
The third and last release in this trilogy will be announced next month (August) The plan then is to issue that one with an optional 'box' which will then house all three releases in this series. The box (if it happens, still working out the costs) will ONLY be available as a pre order and direct from me with the third release. The box will NOT be available on it's own or via any other shop/distro. It'll be a strictly made to order one off limited edition ACID MOTHERS TEMPLE & THE COSMIC INFERNO 'PINK LADY LEMONADE ~ YOU'RE FROM OUTER SPACE' DOUBLE VINYL (2LP SET) OUT NOW
Up for pre order this coming Friday 6th May via the label webshop and bandcamp site Thrilled to finally be getting this one out as it's long been one of my favourite AMT albums, and it sounds absolutely stellar on vinyl. I first put this out way back in 2008, as CD only album and it's been out of print ever since. So here we are, many years later with it pressed on double vinyl exactly as it was intended. There are two variants … A clear lemonade coloured 2xLP set, which is an independent record shop exclusive edition, and a pink lady coloured 2xLP set which is (almost) a direct from label exclusive. I say almost, because the pink lady mail order copies all come with a foldover style OBI strip, whereas the few pink vinyl copies going to a select few shops/distros I deal with direct wont.
Both variants come housed in the same full colour gatefold sleeve with re-imagined artwork from the original CD issue and with extended music not on the CD version. It'll be followed up by two more AMT double vinyl releases (on vinyl for the first time) both of which are in various stages of manufacturing already ORDER VIA THE LABEL WEBSHOP OR BANDCAMP SITE SHIT AND SHINE 'PHASE CORRECTED' PITCH BLACK VINYL LP OUT NOW
ORDER VIA THE LABEL WEBSHOP OR BANDCAMP SITE Shit And Shine is back on home turf with Riot Season for another festering collection of filth and ooze.

The Riot Season edition is pressed on high quality (as always) pitch black vinyl, and comes with alternative cover artwork to the US version. The Riot version also comes with a double sided colour card insert, with a black polylined inner bag and download code.
In Craig's own words ... Raw Brutal Live sludge Recorded in Austin, Texas bedrooms and kitchens during shitty lockdown. It's fucking heavy!
