LABEL UPDATE JUNE 2017

We are now in the quiet zone. The time of year when nothing much happens for some reason. From a busy start to the year to deathly quiet in  the blink of an eye, happens every year for some reason. But that doesn't mean things aren't happening behind the scenes.

There are currently two new albums in production, another one due to follow next week and a repress also being sorted. I expect June/July to be completely dead label wise truth be told (except any Swap Meat tape releases of course) but from AUgust onwards we should be back on full throttle.

As always, please sign up for the mailing list if you can, that way you'll be first to know of any news/pre-orders that are coming up etc. There's a link in the header above, only takes a few seconds and once it's done it's down for good.

Thanks Andy/RS

PSYCH IS DEAD LP/CD (REPOSELP420/REPOSECD420)

The new Cosmic Dead album is coming out on April 28th and i’m putting it out. F*** YEAH!

I’m so chuffed with this that i’ve barely been able to keep it under wraps for the last few months. As a big fan of the band it just makes me so happy!

The album will be coming out on CD (Digipack 500 copies) and two vinyl editions. The main vinyl release will be a white vinyl edition limited to 700 copies for the world. Along with that will be a mail order only edition of 300 copies pressed on swanky silver vinyl (SOLD OUT)

I described the album the other week as making me feel like i’m half mashed trying to get out of a bath full of molasses. And i meant that in a good way honest ... Ha ... it’s different!

VINYL SNAPS

Release Blurb :

Formed in 2010, The Cosmic Dead are a quartet from Glasgow, Scotland who share their music through good vibes and better vibrations. Known for their improv, chaos strewn, Buckfast smashed against the wall take on space music, they have roamed from Roadburn to Las Vegas, Dundee to Bangalore with each album offering a meditative window into a certain time and space.
 
'Psych Is Dead' is the sixth full length album from the band, the glowing embers of a a few days spent recording in a sweaty Sardinian kitchen overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Soon to be available on LP and CD via Riot Season Records, 'Psych Is Dead' is an aural exploration of their tumultuous universe.
 
"Like a careening, uncontainable torrent of Buckfast-powered kosmische chaos, whatever your feelings towards the Scottish quartet's synth-washed space-jams on record, their performance is something like having Ken Kesey and Spacemen 3 pour Irn-Bru directly into your third eye." - The Quietus
 
"The Cosmic Dead may hail from Glasgow but their music sounds as if it were created in another universe altogether" - Drowned in Sound
 
"A swirling, thudding vortex of sound" - Echoes and Dust

March 3rd sees the release of the debut album by soon to be new Japanese underground heroes HIBUSHIBIRE. The album will be released on vinyl (magenta coloured / 500 copies) and on cassette via sister label Swap Meat (75 copies). HIBUSHIBIRE are an Osaka based Japanese hard psychedelic freak out rock band. The band was formed by guitarist Chang Chang and bassist 821 as a improvisation jam rock band in 2012, the present line-up has been in place since 2015
 
The present members are
 
Chang Chang (freak out Guitar/Vocal) who makes shred guitar his strong point and is given the nickname Psychedelic young nobleman
821 (freak out Bass/Chorus) who is playing an active part by various bands
Ryu Matsumoto (freak out Drums) who play with a large number of domestic and foreign musicians as improvisation drummer.
 
The band which consists of a member with many carriers, and their musical style changed to hard psychedelic rock accompanied by several times of members change. The large portion of the HIBUSHIBIRE's musicality is influenced by 60's hard rock, 70's progressive rock and additionally various psychedelic music, and they are pursuing original music committed to be ROCK and PSYCHEDELIC.
 
HIBUSHIBIRE were recently dubbed the “Advance party of a next generation psychedelic rock band” by Japanese freak out guitar guru Kawabata Makoto of Acid Mothers Temple, Mainliner etc
 
Freak Out Orgasm! is first studio album by HIBUSHIBIRE in their 4th year.
 
They had chance to record studio album during 4 years, several times, but they could not because of member change etc
 
The ‘Freak Out Orgasm!’ album was recorded in just one day at Helluva Lounge (their home ground venue), and it was overdubbed with folk     instruments such as Zurna, Santur, and an electronic sound of synthesizer in order to make more psychedelic.
 
It was mixed by producer Kawabata Makoto of Acid Mothers Temple at his mountain top studio temple in Osaka. It became more psychedelic and exciting by making him a producer. When the show, they play songs with interplay, so it is often played long length. Tracks that are included in the album are the shortest version. ‘Deep Throat River Holy Mountain High’ is representative song of HIBUSHIBIRE, and the band often play that various versions. ‘Freak Out Orgasm!’ is the album just like a business card for the rock scene around the world to HIBUSHIBIRE. However, it might be not limited to that.
 
The band have many musical influences, amongst them being Acid Mothers Temple / High Rise / Mainliner / Blue Cheer / Cactus / Captain Beefheart / Comets On Fire / Frank Zappa / Funkadelic / Gong / Grand Funk Railroad / Hawkwind / King Crimson / Mountain / Sun City Girls / Sir Load Baltimore / Trad Gras Och Stenar / Ash Ra Tempel / CAN / Black Sabbath etc

 
HIBUSHIBIRE plan to tour the UK for the first time during 2017. Feel free to get in touch if you want to come to a show.
