Gulskul - Gulskul

Gulskul is the self-titled debut album of this three-piece project, who create a warped, electro-buzzing,  noise-edged mix of lo-fi wave & shouty/baying female-led experimental post-punk. 


King Futile - Casual Misery

King Futile is the new project from Scotland-based Lea  Cummings( Kylie Minoise, Official Music Team, etc), and it’s a big departure from his normal noise or retro sample & electronica sound. Casual Misery is the project's debut, taking in eight tracks of lo-fi acoustic music, with an outsider feel, and often quite tongue-in-cheek/ sharply sarcastic tone to the lyrics.


House of Psychotic Women: Rarities Colle - House of Psychotic Women( Blu Ray boxset)

Here’s a follow-up to Severin’s 2022 box set House Of Psychotic Women Rarities Collection. It’s once again curated by Kier-La Janisse, who penned the 2012 book House of Psychotic Women, which looked at female neurosis in horror and exploitation films. This recent Blu-ray collection brings together four more films from around the world, focusing on unhinged/unbalanced women. The set also takes in ten plus hours of extras- taking in new commentaries, introductions, interviews, short films & more.


Ninja Terminator - Ninja Terminator(Blu Ray)

Ninja Terminator is a cheapo Ninja action movie from 1986 directed by Godfrey Ho (The Ninja Squad, Ninja Destroyer and Thunder Ninja Kids: The Hunt for the Devil Boxer) and starring Richard Harrison (Ninja Dragon, Secret Agent Fireball and Terror Force Commando),  Jeong-Lee Hwang (Drunken Master, Game of Death II and Snake in the Eagles Shadow),  Jack Lam (The Leopard Fist Ninja, The Spring and Chains of Gold), and Maria Francesca (Operation Las Vegas, Diamond Ninja Force and Day of Violence).


Brian House - Everyday Infrasound in an Uncertain World

Brian House has put together something of an album, the contents of which really pass over anything resembling the possibility of a critical appraisal (more on this in a sec). The concept of Infrasound –– the auditory information that exists below the threshold of human perception – is a topic closely wed to larger concerns of situatedenss, environmental awareness, and the like. So when Brian House, a professor of such things, set out to construct microphones capable of capturing such phenomena, the die was essentially cast. In other words, House, fully cognizant of this fact, had no real control over what it is said microphones would relay. In order to render these findings perceptible, House used an old chestnut of tape recording: speed things up, which will de facto pitch things up to a frequency range that our little lugs can hold onto.


Lambwool - Ashes

Human emotion is often difficult to convey through words, so art becomes the perfect channel for those needing to express themselves on a deeper, more intuitive level than glossology alone. War has unfortunately been driving humans to the brink of their emotions since prehistory, but thankfully art has been there even longer to serve as an outlet for those needing to get their fears and frustrations out into the world. French artist Lambwool created Ashes as a necessary response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine and its profound (and warranted) effect on his mental state, the emotions stirring from current times, as well as the post-war trauma burned deeply into European psyches. This work of dark ambient conveys the cold, brutal essence of this war, but by not getting too mired in the darkness, it presents a hopeful air that can help us all get through dark, terrifying times.
