Vacation/Forget Me
Label:
FUSETRON
Format:
12"
Price:
$12.00
Catalog #:
FUSE 033LP
"For the second time in a row now, one of Brooklyn's grandest experimental entourages have presented us with a sonic totem whose jaunty and bright packaging belie an almost certain palpable sense of unease. Here Excepter have perhaps crafted a treatise on nothing less than the uncomfortable aspects of having to leave ones home. Or they may well have been channeling the soundtrack to a particularly bizarre road trip I once went on involving an Indian burial ground, a cross eyed woman Xeroxing chain letters at a supermarket, and an extremely sadistic alligator farm outside of Hot Springs, Arkansas where I witnessed a stuffed Fiji Merman. Unease indeed. But of course, like on any worthy and good vacation, once you've become used to new unsettling sensations like foot blisters and sunburn you realize how sublime the landscape is. And sublimity is what Excepter trades in spades."

Catalog #:
FUSE 038CD
CD compiling the previous 2 Fusetron vinyl-only releases. "Excepter is the new group spearheaded by J F Ryan, former electric tree-branch swinger for the No-Neck Blues Band. Using a mutating system of synchronized electronics engineered to ensure live sequencing, Excepter seeks to carry freestyle composition from the tip of the tongue on down to the ones and zeros. All tracks on this LP were performed and mixed live to stereo. Digital editing was only used to arrange the phantasmagoric second side, a tribute to HP Lovecraft's novella
Dreamquest of Unknown Kadath
. Excepter also marks the singing debut of dancer/choreographer Caitlin Cook. Guaranteed to make you dream in color." Also includes the

Price:

Catalog #:
FUSE 041CD
"
Self Destruction
was recorded in the winter of 2004 and mixed, edited and reprocessed mostly in the winter of 2005.
Self Destruction
is the first Excepter record to be feature multi-track recording and overdubbing. Outside of Dan Houglands drum programming and a few vision directives from producer John Fell Ryan, the playing is entirely improvised by the group.
Self Destruction
is also the first Excepter record to prominently feature the polyphonic synthesizer playing of Nathan Corbin. The husband-wife duo of Caitlin Cook and Calder Martin make the final statement on the album as they take sole vocal duties on the last track, 'Your House.' This recording has been edited short for maximum sonic impact on vinyl."

Alternation
Label:
FUSETRON
Format:
2LP
Price:
$21.00
Catalog #:
FUSE 045LP
Double LP in heavy duty, full color gatefold jacket. "Half-recorded in one blizzard, and completed by the next,
Alternation
is a years-in-the-making, tossed-off-in-a-moment exploration of the difference between Excepter live on stage and Excepter alone at home and the goal to eradicate the distinction between the two. Double the length and twice the depth of past Excepter releases,
Alternation
is Excepter looking both ways, a geometric expansion around all the territories marked so far in their brief discography: the primal death trips of Ka, the noise pop tropics of Vacation, the long drone goodnight of Throne, the cool electro doom of Self Destruction and the blasted steam cycle of Sunbomber."

Catalog #:
LOAD 068CD
"Like a group-groped Helen Keller all too smacked out to protest, the New York City based Excepter weaves a dangerous course through the orange cones of cortex- caressing sound. Drawing from boom-box emitters as disparate as Chrome, Comus and that weird-ass Indian techno music you heard eating that samosa. Frequently lumped in with bands in their zip code like Gang Gang Dance, Sightings, and Animal Collective and the No Neck Blues Band, they are actually much more of a confrontational question mark. Lots of floor crawling stage exclamations make the band more slippery than a greased watermelon. With a lineup jamming out unclear instrumentation but perhaps including detritus of Casios, battery needin' samplers, six string part catalogs and occasional percussion, they manage to craft a deeply and creepily eerie sound that includes sounds from all over the radio dial. One could easily relax to this record and have one's heart forget to stop beating."
