The long awaited new album by the ongoing duo of Stephen O'Malley (Sunn O))), Gravetemple) and Peter Rehberg (Pita) is the first full length KTL release that is not commissioned work for theatre or film. Whereas the ‘Kindertotenlieder' trilogy of 1, 2 and 3 were blurred washes of fog and noise polished in by ambient shine, "IV" is a more direct and demanding beast, referencing such diverse projects as; volume era Swans, Mecca period Cabaret Voltaire, phase one Wire, Fushitsusha and This Heat... "IV" is a stunning new direction and great addition to both artists' already impressive canon, with blowtorch riffs... sub bass rumbles... driving bass pulse interwoven with razor sharp guitar... arhythmic and punishing drumming (courtesy of Atsuo, from Japanese top-rockers Boris)... black frozen resonant harmonics. Produced by Jim O'Rourke. Highly recommended!

SHIT & SHINE - '229-2299 Girls Against Shit!' CD (Riot Season)
Shit And Shine return with their fourth Riot Season album. The epic, drawn-out single-riff jams that make up S+S's legendary live shows are replaced by their trademark off-the-wall lunacy, making for a fun-packed adventure akin to biking trips with friends, and the local mental as a child. '229 2299 Girls Against Shit' could be the soundtrack to that summer, the beating of rats with sticks, the shooting of girls with gat guns, swimming in a mang ridden cut and the discovering of dead dogs and maggots. Ah, those were the days my friend. Ltd x 1000 copies in a beautiful fluorescent pink adorned card gatefold sleeve.
