Artist:	SHEARING PINX
Title:	Weaponry
Label:	DIVORCE (CANADA)
Format:	LP
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	D 031LP

"Divorce was so pleased with how Shearing Pinx delivered on the Haruspex 7" that we decided to up the ante considerably and release a double LP in two parts. In return the Pinx have gone all in with the new material. Weaponry pt. 1 is a mountain that will remain visible in the sea of astounding, bizarre releases Shearing Pinx have been pouring for the last half decade. It is made clear from the first moments of the opening track; the Vancouver trio has been committed here to tape while in rare form. This LP sets up a classic, demento-tuned twin guitar battle where a nonchalant vocal delivery squares off against the drum set's muscular fake jazz-jizz-isms. William S. Burroughs used a shotgun to create paintings. Shearing Pinx use musical instruments to wound and maim. Tunes for the unglued. Artwork by Rick White of Eric's Trip / Elevator / Rick White Album. Edition of 600. RIYL: Harry Pussy, No New York, Sonny Sharrock."

Artist:	NOVELLER/AIDAN BAKER
Title:	Colorful Disturbances
Label:	DIVORCE (CANADA)
Format:	LP
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	D 032LP

"Guitars warped so hard they dissolve into pure consciousness! Seriously, this record had to happen because these two are the NOW of transcendental guitar weirdness. In families like ours where deformed music of one kind or another pours out of the speakers all day long, Toronto's Aidan Baker is a household name. He is no doubt one of the most imaginative experimental musicians of the new generation, quickly creating a universe of limitless sound with his bursting discography. He offers this record an extensive piece which mixes drone, texture, and an ever-bowing foundation -- imagine the sound of falling backwards... forever. The new blood on this split is guitarist Sarah Lipstate from Brooklyn, New York (aka Noveller). Sarah's prepared twin guitar works up a slow hypnotic force, gently pulling way out to the furthest deep end of pulses and patterns. Beautiful repetitions effortlessly skirt over a dark undercurrent. A+++ listen. Edition of 600 copies."

Artist:	DOG DAY
Title:	Elder Schoolhouse
Label:	DIVORCE (CANADA)
Format:	12"
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	D 033EP

"These odd duck popsters sound totally sizzled on this new 12 inch 45. Side A is a collection of tunes rolled-up earlier this year at Rick White's Elder Schoolhouse studio. It includes a late night number written by Mr. White especially for his Halifax guests. Flip it over, and the entire B side takes a hazy journey lead by infinite guitar, starting with an ending and answering only to that most distant call. Dig? 5 songs - 26:55 minutes. Edition of 400 copies."

Artist:	GOWN
Title:	The Old Line
Label:	DIVORCE (CANADA)
Format:	LP
Price:	$21.00
Catalog #:	D 027LP

"Andrew MacGregor is maybe most known for his otherworldly guitar collaboration with Thurston Moore in Bark Haze, but his solo work as Gown is equally cosmic. The Old Line is avant-garde guitar music for deep listening and coming undone. A weird meditation. Sprawling webs of guitar ambience and outsider mantras capture an ethereal solitude, the sparse Nova Scotian landscapes that Gown now calls home reflected in the texture of his music. This is noise that sounds like a sky of birds settling into the trees for a night away from the wind. Limited to 500 copies."
