Noumenal Loom’s Winter Solstice Jams
12.22.13 by Mike Haley
Noumenal Loom, who was recently voted Best New Cassette Label by the Cassette Label Society of North America (CLSNA), which is just me and a cardboard cutout of Henry Rollins I found in a dumpster, just released their second batch. It’s a handsome looking and sounding set of four with artwork by Aiden Koch. Each is an edition of 100 home dubbed tapes, full of haunting melodies and clouds of painkiller hazes. Here’s how she breaks down…
G Sweems “Treasure Island” C34
International Parallives Institute “Memoirs of Anomie Gray” C31
Calico Field Recordings s/t C17
Tuluum Shimmering “Festival at the Shallow River” C40
Cardboard Henry could go on all day about how tight these tapes are (even that version doesn’t shut the fuck up) but why don’t you be your own judge and check em out. Then buy the shit out of them for $8.50 each, or $28.00 for all four. Those prices include postage in the United States. Email noumenalloom@gmail.com about international prices.
