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
