OUT NOW: Swim Ignorant Fire - Last Days CD-R

Out now: Last Days by Swim Ignorant Fire. Our most ambitious release yet is a mature collection of lush soundscapes from guitar loop guru Swim Ignorant Fire. With prickly, melodic guitar alongside waves of ambient noise moving at glacier-like speed, Last Days grazes you with a cinder block then knocks you down with a feather. Last Days follows a well-received split 7"/CDEP with GK released in 2009 on God Sags His Pants Records. But whereas the split with GK began slow and ended with a wild, blurt-and-bleep sonic rocker, Last Days is more epic, monolithic, more drone-oriented, and certainly more cohesive than its predecessor. Professional production and mastering by Rob Kleiner. Packaged in jewel case with handmade cyanotype cover. Limited pressing of 75 copies including 5 deluxe versions packaged in acid-soaked cyanotype cover and featuring a bonus disc of material (two tracks from a split with Count Brent & one previously unreleased track). Promo copies serviced to college stations in the following markets: Iowa, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Texas & Louisiana.


RIYL: Bernhard Gunter, Shifts, Papa M, Daniel Lanois, Mogwai, Brothomstates, Thrones, Roy Montgomery, Trembling Blue Stars, Earth, Nadja, Pan Sonic, Explosions in the Sky, Aube, Our Glassie Azoth, Funki Porcini, etc...

ARTIST: Mee-Krah

TITLE: Drunk on the Scent of Metallic Strings

CATALOG NUMBER: ds013

DESCRIPTION: The third release from experimental act Mee-Krah features an art brut-style sonic assault of harsh noise and heavy psychedelia; a slow, pummeling drone but somehow at 100 miles an hour, like a cascading Concorde heading into a field of idling Doloreans.
