6.9.13: HOOKER VISION LAUNCHES OFFSHOOT LABEL; VAALD
Connoisseurs of bleakness, depression, that commercial with the injured dogs & cats but on a black and white tv with static over that Sarah McLachlan song, etc take note: Hooker Vision Records, who have been releasing drone and synth relaxers since 2008, have announced the conception of an offshoot label called VAALD. VAALD (which doesn’t need to be in ALL CAPS, but it is on their site and looks cool that way. soooooo) will be an outlet for darker offerings. Grant Evans, who runs Hooker Vision along with his wife Rachel, will be at the helm and is planning to serve up “Harsh noise, black metal, that kind of stuff. Stuff that doesn’t really fit into the HV aesthetic” with the first batch (three tapes, listed below) slated for June 17th.

Interference “Down Chanson” C30
Torn Birch “Effigy” C30
Spur + Phial C30

You can keep up with VAALD activities here, and follow them on Facebook here.

 

 

6.8.13: SAMPLE TABS OUT #2 – JUMP ROPE “HEMP BREAKER” C38
The second Tabs Out release will be a C38 collaboration between Roped Off (Mike & Dave of Tabs Out) and Josh Millrod & Jesse DeRosa of Grasshopper under the moniker of JUMP ROPE. The material was recorded during a snowed-in weekend in NYC at the Temple Of Pei last February.

This tape, like all other Tabs Out releases, will be limited to the number of people who make Chrome Donations, will have some sort of special packaging, and will be personalized for the person it’s going to.

If you have already donated then just sit back and wait for the tape to show up in your mailbox. Donate now and it will be the first cassette you get from us out of four total. You can check all the info on the ADVERTISE/DONATE page. To see/hear Tabs Out#1 go to TABS OUT RELEASES.
