LASER FACES / VELVET WIDOW ::: Split Tape (2009)

Edition of 30 Tapes
C-90 / 5$

LASER FACES ::: Tribal Electronic Jam Band
VELVET WIDOW ::: Psych Noise Jam Band

this tape one gets truly lost in, from the way the tape is painted black so you dont know which side you're on, to the lack of any tracklisting... luckily i was able to figure it out. laser faces has fragmentary jamming to the fullest; beats against a nice signal esque sound at one point to dissonance next to rhythmaticness, it ends with this cheesy beat, it was great and... i was pretty confused at its intricacies. the velvet widow side is similar but darker and more drony; the tape has a certain quality to it, id call it dingy; its good for driving at night in the woods with autumn leaves and screetchy crackety pickup sticks on the road with the yelllow lines

Hobo Cult has successfully melted my face with another uniquely packaged artifact from the bent minds of Velvet Chrome. Channeling the traces of a psych-dementia found in the bowels of abandoned structures and drenching it in the New Zealand acid of Wreck Small Speakers on Expensive Stereos, Velvet Chrome provides the only aural experience akin to a post-Warriors Coney Island vacation: desolation, litter, and decrepit rides breaking through the morning light; a psychedelic vision from oracles and witches brewed for your stereo. It’s bleak, beautiful, chaotic, desperate, intimate, and comes packaged in an unassuming, one-of-a-kind CDR limited to 30 copies. A singular sound that will surely resonate with anyone looking for reverberations on the fringes of musical genre. I can’t get enough, so I ask: WHAT MORE DO YOU FREAKS WANT?

WASTED WIDOW - LES DOUCHES ROMAINES (2009)

/// SOLD OUT ///

60 minutes of Bloody No-Gaze
Limited Edition of 50 CDs / 30 Tapes

Rivaling Fixture Records as best-designed multi-format boutique label in Canada, Hobo Cult really delivered with a small package of incredibly wyld and strange music; Wasted Widow being the first of many reviews to come. Caught in the imaginative triangulation of punk, noise-psych, and experimentalism, Les Douches Romaines captures a unique moment in uncategorized music. No-gaze? Adjective-wave? Who cares? Classification will certainly fail when filing away Wasted Widow’s wailing distorted guitar, granular noise, vocals delayed beyond calculation, and incongruent notions of song structure. It’s droney and psychedelic and noisey and weird and awesome! I had to have a time-out in my apartment and re-calibrate my association with commonly held notions of “genre” and “taste.” Incredible (no hyperbole). And, yes, those drums are looped in Skyscrape My Shapes. Wasted, indeed!
