Tapes Update!

A few updates on 'Spective Releases:

-Tomentosa Records will be selling the Cinchel tape. His site is an excellent resource for out of print and rare noise/experimental/psychedelic music. Check out the site here.

-Cinchel tapes are basically sold out at the source. As far as I know, copies are available at Reckless Records, Permanent Records, and with the artist himself, as well as Tomentosa (as mentioned above). You can see Cinchel live in Rogers Park in February, more details soon. Buy some tapes at your local stores or from your local guitar artist!

-As far as I know, the Sunny Muffdivers and The N.E.C. tapes are still available at Permanent Records. I have copies of both these tapes available through PayPal as well.

Permanent Tapes

The N.E.C. B-Sides and Sunny Muffdivers All Half Evil are both going on sale at Permanent Records.

Check out the cassettes and support your local record store while you're there!

New Release!

The Sunny Muffdivers All Half Evil C26 have arrived! Crusty sludge psych doom from Atlanta...four relentless instrumental pieces that bludgeon the psyche with exercises in repetitive fuzz lines, from Link Wray to Wooden Shjips. Rhythmic at their core, this release is psychedelic in the tradition of bending the mind through sonic attack. This is not a laid back, airy psychedelic journey. Through the four pieces, the band traces their steps, exploring familiar landscapes obscured by distant memories, through approaches that often wash over the listener.

A1 "Sunny Muff Divers Theme Song"
A2 "Total Lunar Eclipse (OTF)"

B1 "Try for the Kingdom (If you can)"
B2 "Riot Gear"

Pure sonic assault from Atlanta.Follow the thread between "Theme Song" and "Riot Gear," the drones flare in the middle of the release and are framed by bludgeoning rhythms on either end. Throughout, either rhythmic or droning, the fuzz never stops, providing a disjointed landscape in which your mind and emotions hide.
