Artist:	AUN/HABSYLL
Title:	Split
Label:	PUBLIC GUILT
Format:	LP
Price:	$24.00
Catalog #:	PG 019LP

"AUN (Montreal, Canada) has a back catalog rich with harmonic drone, sepulchral ambience and thick detuned guitar vistas. For this split, AUN ventures into new territory. 'Druids' plays like '70s space rock on bad acid, where dissonant tones and hallucinogenic melodies slam headfirst into slow, pounding beats. Texture and rhythm collide to create a dark unworldly psychedelia. 'Fall Out' continues the spacey vibe, blending rhythm, bass, guitar and acidic noise shards, seemingly taking some cues from the late '60s New York underground and mid '70s Germany. Habsyll (Toulouse, France) accentuate angular drone and delicate improvisation with blasts of raw noise and sludgy doom. Leaving structure and melody behind (or perhaps stretching them out so far, they are imperceptible), Habsyll's output is slow, raw and dynamic as hell. Composition has never felt so strange." On ash cloud-colored vinyl.

Label:	PUBLIC GUILT
Format:	LP

Catalog #:	PG 020LP

"Zu, the Roman metal/math/no-wave/free noise/punk/jazz trio, is perhaps best known in the US as a band who have had an unbelievable line-up of recording partners which includes The Stooges' Steve Mackay, Fugazi's Joe Lally and Guy Picciotto, Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore, Can's Damo Suzuki, jazz masters Ken Vandermark and Mats Gustafsson, percussionists Han Bennink and Hamid Drake, improvisationalist Eugene Chadbourne and the like-minded Nobukazu Takemura. The Italian trio of Jacopo Battaglia (drums), Massimo Pupillo (bass) and Luca T. Mai (saxophone) formed in 1999 after having worked together in local theater. Driven by a punk rock work ethic, Zu have played an astounding number of over 1,000 gigs worldwide including Europe, North America, Asia, Russia, and even Africa. They have released fourteen albums to date." 180 gram white/black mixed colored vinyl housed in a gatefold sleeve.

Artist:	ALUK TODOLO
Title:	Finstrenis
Label:	PUBLIC GUILT
Format:	LP
Price:	$24.00
Catalog #:	PG 021LP

"Aluk Todolo are a recondite creature. Part okkult black metal fiend and part snide kraut menace. Somehow the doppelganger works and Finsternis proves for a second time there is brilliance in the absence of light. Dry, spare percussion grievously mines the scrapes, shrieks and shimmer of mutated guitar and bass. Finsternis is the German word for eclipse, mimetic of cyclic elements, phases and un-phases, endless re-beginnings, broken circles and perfect circles. A dangerous, noxious coil of all things black."
