"We know what you're thinking: 1) This is the greatest band name of all time. And 2) They must have Schwarzenegger motifs throughout the album. The first assumption is undoubtedly true. The second is not." Limited to only 250 copies on cassette assembled with a lyrics scroll and laser cut slip cover.

"Visceral, dark, analogue, night pop duo from Denton, TX. Vulgar Fashion uncovers what heterosexual men think about when they see sexually provocative advertising (hint: it isn't their girlfriends)... Mmmmmagic ice cream. Maerc eci cigammmmM? and stokes the flames of public panic and profit on paranoia over global contagions, extreme weather events, and food contamination scares, while mining our digital footprints to target us with ads and offers that appeal to our psychological profiles."

"First time on CD, following the acclaimed LP pressing that sold out immediately in 2011, and made it onto countless year end lists. It's the strongest, most concise example of what they do, a dark and depressive sort of blackened post-punk that also manages to be catchy and anthemic. Eleven Fingers spins a darkly cavernous, bizarrely buoyant sound that really is akin to Ian Curtis and mates delving into the kind of black metal that came along after Lords of Chaos. It's raw but deep, and there's a lot folded into its layers: Pair it with Iceage, and it's punk; play it with Amesoeurs, and the more post-metal tendencies surface."

"Since 2005, collaborators Chet W. Scott and James Woodhead have fashioned incredibly moving and innovative music as The Elemental Chrysalis. During this time, each has made his mark exploring a deeply personal journey as solo artist -- Chet as Blood of the Black Owl, and James as At the Head of the Woods. With both projects creating incredible snapshots into their respective journies, here, on a split crafted over a long period, and arriving at the cusp of new full length material from both, the presence of these long time pioneers could not be felt in a more rich and inspiring way. This is a limited release, featuring art by James Woodhead and design by Chet W. Scott."

"As to Preterite - they are as mysterious as their sounds, a collaborative duo that on one side is found sat Genevieve Beaulieu of Menace Ruine fame whilst the other finds James Hamilton one time Column, Annihilist these days Nebris. Across the five cuts that form their debut release Pillar of Winds they weave a darkly intoxicating spell charm that one minute veers from the pre post rock discordance of the late '80s New Zealand scene a la Bruce Russell and Roy Montgomery as though re-visualised and relocated to the depths of Tibet as on 'Synagogue' to 'Triall of Strength' which to these oddly tuned ears sounds not unlike This Mortal Coil as seen through the viewfinder of Soriah with additional sonic assistance provided for by a youthful Flying Saucer Attack. All said though nothing quite touches the parting 'Viriditas' which ought by rights to have those Rise Above imprint and Current 93 admirers among you chomping soundly at the bit for through the fracturing soft psyche folk haze emerges something indelibly ingrained in a centuries old mysticism to sonically dissect succulently an aural axis upon which sits Baez, Mellow Candle and Comus. Quite perfect if you ask me." --Mark Barton

"The flagship release in the Handmade Birds White Label Series. Born from personal tragedy experienced by the band, and for that reason held close and left unprinted for years, Crooked Necks are now sharing this deeply personal set of Joy Division covers in a one time, limited pressing. These covers resonate in the true spirit of the originals, while integrating the unique style of Crooked Necks."
