Various Artists – Noise Forest (Cold Spring)

Posted by John Lithium on

a0211973566_10

Label Description:

A classic compilation that emanated out of Osaka, “Noise Forest” brings together a powerhouse of early 90’s Japanese noise stalwarts: MERZBOW, C.C.C.C., SOLMANIA, DISLOCATION, MONDE BRUITS, MASONNA, VIOLENT ONSEN GEISHA, and INCAPACITANTS.

The ultimate Japanoise collection, originally released in 1992 on the cult Les Disques Du Soleil label / record store on CD-only, and now impossible to find. Remastered and presented here on deluxe 2LP in matt-laminate gatefold sleeve (first time on vinyl) and new CD edition, all with new artwork.

A forest isn’t something normally associated with noise; it brings to mind silence and solitude. However, the ominous cover art here – and the artists within – bring to mind the notorious suicide forest Aokigahara. Despite all tracks falling into the Japanoise genre, the tracks are very diverse, yet every track is so distinct it could only be by that artist.

Violeer – Fairgrounds (Self-Released)

Posted by John Lithium on

a1386681433_10

Label Description:

i began recording fairgrounds in january of 2024 in an attempt to capture the intensity of our recent string of live shows throughout central ohio…as violeer had always been a project that i had shared with my husband since its inception…

however…throughout the spring and early summer of 2024 our creative and romantic partnership slowly eroded and the release evolved into something else…a dark meditation on loss, addiction, mental illness and the quiet rage that follows when everything that was once familiar is no longer…when forever becomes finite…

recorded in columbus ohio

january through may 2024

no coast

no sea
