The Smell Remains The Same

comp on Cavity Search records. (Literally, the title is

). The tracks display Smegma's pioneering style of audiophile-lo-brow folk-noise-rock, in their early-middle age when they were surviving through the birth of grunge, alternative, and indie rock."

"
33 1/3
is Smegma's tribute to their 20th century avant-garde and out-jazz influences. The title is one part reference to the happy revival of passionate vinyl listening in the 21st century and one part celebration of their long hard slog of 33 1/3 years of being one of the most free thinking and original American underground groups. Their focus, ideas and determination has brought them through more than three decades and to this day they remain unparalleled, original and highly influential.
33 1/3
is enhanced with live videos of 'Happy Holidays' live at End Times Festival (with Spencer Yeh and Twig Harper) as well as 'Grubsteak' live at the Three Million Tongues festival in Chicago. Smegma. Seriously. They've been at it for so long now that you can't really even say they sound like anyone else. You can only say that others sound like them. They're all here on
33 1/3
: Oblivia, Ju Suk Reet Meate, Burned Mind, Conroy, Dr. Id. The core group drumming up their influences and pulling off another burning album of magnificent proportions. While Smegma has never really fit in anywhere their influence on the modern avant garde and improvised noise scene is absolutely undeniable. However, it's essential to remember that Smegma has never been noise for noise's sake. While they've had two feet firmly planted in avant-garde & free jazz, one must not forget their rock roots as well. For this reason alone they're bound to not fit in anywhere. Influences aside, no matter how much everyone else sounds like Smegma, you can bet that Smegma is always going to sound like nobody else. Nobody else channels so much energy, effort, influence or sound into their work. They may just be the greatest American band. Ever."

Catalog #:
IMPREC 311CD
"With
Mirage
on Important Records, Smegma again does the impossible. 38 years after reinventing the musical wheel, they have recorded a stunning masterpiece. With four of the original members working together again for the first time in many years, together with many new collaborators, they have kept alive their unique brand of old school primitive, avant/garage music. Running the gamut from the 'music concrete' inspired subtlety, the bombastic mood of the title track, 'world of my own's' frenzied noise/funk jams, that morph past rock'n [Eno/Roxy Music era] garage band, before finally slipping into a primitive meditation involving silly voices, toys, record players and such. On the other hand 'F-85 Turbo Rocket' blasts strait to psycho rockabilly heaven and is over before it all sinks in. Also worth mentioning, with its timeless creepy beauty, the front cover drawing/collage sets the stage for this strange journey. Several of the tracks were recorded 'live' at a Smegma House Party in Portland September 2009. The CD includes a unique Smegma house party track and a bonus 1973 original Pasadena unreleased recording."

6LP BOX/DVD
Price:

Catalog #:
VOD 070LP
"This astonishing 6LP/DVD box-set compiles most of Smegma's long out or print and impossible to find vinyl-releases and contributions on labels such as their own legendary Pigface Records, LAFMS, Trap, Dom And Selekton. The box includes their first three 7" inches
Disco Diarrhea
,
Flashcards
,
Pigface Chant
, their LPs like
Pigs for Leper
or
Glamour Girl 1941
as well as a 2LP-sided extract of the Live 73-82 double tape
Spontaneous Sound
, all in one place. Smegma started collectively by Ju Suk Reet Meate, Cheese it Ritz, Chucko Fats, Dennis Duck, Amazon Bambi and Cheesebro and found many other avantgarde/freejazz/improv-musicians to participate in the next 3 1/2 decades to come. This box is taking you on a journey with the least likely folk-primitive-avant-gard band in Pasadena, California, through Portland Oregon's punk rock revitalization and first melt down, to become the serious force in weird music that continues today. Box is accompanied with a DVD version of the original amazing video
The First 10 Years
by Mike Lastra released in 1983 plus 2 bonus tracks of performances from 1978 & 80."
