CLOAMA - 'In The State Of Unbelief' 7" (Cipher Productions)
Two new pieces from Cloama at its most vehement. A savage exposition of raw power electronics, which has never been quite so overt in Cloama’s sound until this project. Notwithstanding the clear ‘80s PE influences, the production and composition are distinct, discreet layers, with the usual attention to detail giving this work flair. Regular edition, limited to just 130 copies. Presented in a foldout, screen-printed sleeve with inner flap. Australian import. ACT FAST!
FACIALMESS & HANA KODAMA - 'Split' 12" (Cipher Productions)
Facialmess is Kenny Sanderson and Hana Kodama is a Yukiko (Yamaakago) & Fumio Kosakai (Incapacitants / C.C.C.C.) collaboration. Contrasting 12" showcasing the brutal and extreme harsh noise from Facialmess, and the subtle ambience from Hana Kodama. Limited to just 200 copies with insert- act fast! Australian import.
GELSOMINA - 'Nostalghia' CD (Cipher Productions / Musically Incorrect Records)
Finnish act Gelsomina will be instantly recognisable to those with a Freak Animal fetish. This is a re-issue of the Australian legendary cassette from 2004 (Smell The Stench) with a bonus collaborative track from Gelsomina & Grunt. The delicacy of the exterior betrays the horrors within. "Nostalghia" is an hour-long, painful, seething, multi-edged ambient / harsh fucking noise assault! Ltd x 500 copies in a stunning multi-layered and textured A5 booklet.

THE RITA & WILT - 'Werewolf In The Black Space' CD (Cipher Productions)
Reissue of a limited cassette (Ltd x 10 copies, The Institute For Organic Conversations), with a bonus previously unreleased track and new artwork. This tantalising meeting of the minds maintains the roughly-sawn quality of the original. With such disparate takes on their craft, it's no surprise this CD finds both Wilt and The Rita dragging each other's imposing form into new areas; approached either as a re-imagining and re-contextualising of The Rita, or a brutish noise immersion for Wilt, 'Werewolf In The Black Space' surpasses any obvious confrontation for six moody, bloody, invasive and violent tracks of inspired texturising and midnight stalk which will appeal to those interested in either project's output. Ltd x 500 copies.
