PENSKE 006LP

The Jimmy Cake formed as a ten-piece group in Dublin, Ireland in 2000 from the fresh remains of local experimental rock noise-niks Das Madman. In that time they have collaborated live with the likes of Damo Suzuki, Iva Bittova, and Charles Hayward while slowly drifting over the course of six albums from a pastoral psychedelia to full-on kosmische psych, fully realised on Master, their 2015 aural colossus. Drawing from the same sonic palette, Tough Love is another serpentine and ecstatic creation from one of Ireland's most consistently adventurous bands. Tough Love is the sixth studio album from experimental rock group The Jimmy Cake. Written in 2015 as a continuous piece for a one-off performance in The Joinery, a much-loved and badly-missed arts space in Dublin City, Tough Love is part kosmische post-punk dystopia, part time-lapsed motorik stoner rock. Both sides menace and swell, playing with time and space before building to two distinct strains of glorious sonic pay-off. "Thank God for The Jimmy Cake" --The Journal Of Music In Ireland (Review of Master). "In short, Master confirms The Jimmy Cake are this country's finest experimental rock band, hands down" --The Sunday Business Post (Review of Master). "Every city has one, a band that for some strange reason never really made it beyond its borders yet deserves to take over the world. Instead of being known for U2 or Westlife, Dublin should be known for The Jimmy Cake" --Brainwashed.com (Spectre & Crown Review)

Dublin-based Percolator are Ian, Spud, and Ellie, who together play rock and roll music that is noisy, but always melodic, occasionally abrasive, but rarely harsh. Taking some cues from bands such as Neu! and Stereolab and the Creation Records, Cheree Records, Slumberland Records, and Sarah Records stables, their music comprises propulsive rhythms and gauzy synthetic textures, along with guitar work that is both muscular and delicate. Its subtle, detail-oriented production along with the use of much of their own custom-built equipment faithfully captures the gnarled beauty of their idiosyncratic vision.

The music of Fixity is composed and/or produced by Dan Walsh. The project's first self-titled album was released on the KantCope cassette label in July 2016, and it presented multi-tracked versions by Walsh of seven new compositions. The Things In The Room is the fourth release by Fixity. The album was recorded in Malmö on the February 13th, 2016 with a band made of up Dan Walsh on drum kit, joined by Swedish improvisers, tenor saxophonist Emil Nerstrand (Brigaden, Heavy Water, The Nod), guitarist Nils Andersson (Ljom, Ava), and bassist Fredrik Persson (Sista Bossen, The Good Morning Spider, Leo Kall, Cassus). The Things In The Room comprises four pieces composed by Walsh, explored in collective improvisation. Each performance was captured in one take with everyone in the same space. "...incredible abstract psychedelia... " --Tristan Bath, The Quietus. "...defined by its disregard for parameters. Few Irish artists push the invisible parameters of sonic exploration quite like Walsh - a fact mercurially confirmed across these four tracks." --Brian Coney, The Thin Air. RIYL: Ultralyd, Fire!, James Plotkin, Paal Nilssen-Love, Supersilent.

Volcano Of The Bleeding Skies is the debut LP from Ruadhan O'Meara (No Spill Blood). A collection of cosmic synth compositions, its seven tracks feature swirling psychedelics, pulsing sequences, and stark minimalism, all the while incorporating harmony and melodic leads. Drawing heavily from the sounds of bygone eras, it also sits aside the current wave of electronic reinvention. RIYL: Tangerine Dream, Ashra, John Carpenter, Goblin, Klaus Schulze, Oneohtrix Point Never, Emeralds.

Woven Skull began playing together in 2008 in the empty sparse Irish countryside, in a house owned by two of the members and located at the foot of Sheemore. These atmospheric surroundings helped to forge their music, which has been described as "minimal, repetitive, distorted, ugly and beautiful in one." The trio spent several years experimenting with combinations of instrumentation, household objects, kitchen utensils, seashells, footsteps, chimes, recordings of cats purring and frogs mating, while developing a sound that, after a recent set, was described as "a Turkish Velvet Underground." Within the group, song writing is split equally between Aonghus on densely propulsive guitar and Natalia on distorted mandola. These are glued together by the endless cyclical rhythms created by Willie and inspired by the sounds of the bogs and woods that surround his home: from syncopated cattle calls, to the beating wings of bats in the night, to the creaking of trees as they push against each other in the wind. Woven Skull have recorded in dark haunted woods, beside bottom-less lakes, and in the attics of abandoned houses. Lair Of The Glowing Bantling, is their first studio album and captures a sound that's more in line with their live performance than past releases, which have been a mix of lo-fi practice tapes, outdoor recordings and segments from collaborative sets. Giving the album an 8/10, Norman Records said this about the record: "the band recall the ramshackle anthems of Exuma and the spirited improv of Six Organs Of Admittance, suggesting that without furious discipline they can make very beautiful sounds. It's within them to make pretty music, but for the most part Lair Of The Glowing Bantling sounds like it's shaking itself from nightmare to existence." RIYL: Six Organs Of Admittance, Natural Snow Buildings, Ilyas Ahmed.
