MIKE
STORER & JARROD RONE 'The Colour Out of Space' C23CDR018
Multi-instrumentalist Storer blows sweeping and lyrical
sax lines over JR's electronics & objects in this
2002 collaboration. Lovely.
DACHISE
- SMELL & QUIM 'Deep Greek' C23CDR009
A collaborative work from these two. Dark electronics
and noisy clanking and scraping add up to a sinister soundscape,
and titles like 'Fanny Batter Spillage' and 'Skid Marks
on Poles' continue the S&Q 'aesthetic'. Highly recommended
outing from these legends.
DOGLIVEROIL
'Swedish Ikea Orgy' C23CDR007 Limited 90 Copies
The Stoke on Trent reprobates make a welcome return with
this album length outing of intense noise blister, earache
inducing feedback, and vocal dexterity. Go Scandinavian
with the DOGS ! How can you possibly resist ?
NEON
DEATH / PBR STREETGANG 'Neon PBR' C23_025
Split
release on netlabel Catch23 between John Marra's NEON
DEATH and Jarrod Rone's PBR STREETGANG. Extra special
thanks from JR to Mike Storer (soprano saxophone) and
M Johnson (VST synth) for their invaluable contributions
to 'untitled 4'.
FULLY
DILATED / SCHADENFREUDE 'Baby, I Love You Like an Unwanted
Child' SPLIT C23_032
A
union that should never have happened? The salutary tale
of a hapless Schadenfreude's impregnatory entrapment by
a ruthless Fully Dilated's desire for Catch 23 council
housing. Expecting harshness? Good Call. Eight tracks
of variegated noise squabble for the Jerry Springer fans
among you. Enjoy!
THE
FREE NOISE FOUNDATION 'Walking the Atlas of Time' C23_035
Brilliantly
diverse sounds from Production Unit Xero's Ramon Mills.
Glitched-up soundscapes and superb ambience from this
great project.
TAYSIDE MENTAL HEALTH / FULLY DILATED 'Mental Dilation' EP C23_037
Scotland's finest, Tayside Mental Health, team up with c23 fave Fully Dilated to bring you this wonderful split EP. By turns bizarre and incredibly harsh, this is one not to be missed!
SYNESTHETIC BURST 'Next Heaven' C23_039
Sublime harsh noise blasts from Brokecore John's, err, side-side project. What a relief to have some of John's great noise to release! Very nice stuff, if you have a penchant for computer-based harsh noise, this is a must. We hope to bring you a new ERT ep very soon!
VARIOUS ARTIST ‘C23_023 Compilation’ C23_023’
A celebration of 10 years of our humble label, the music here ranges from ambience through glitch/techno to harsh noise and more. Huge thanks to all who participated from JR and MJ.
WHITE MOUNTAINS / GIMP NIPPLES untitled split C23_045
A pretty bizarre split release, which is good because we like it bizarre! Mr. Gimp Nipples weighs in with a hefty chunk of circuit-bent harsh noise, whilst White Mountains somehow manages to move from ambience to harsh noise to 'rock' over the course of one 16 minute track. Rather delightful.
EXTRINSIC 'The Importance of Drink When Making Noise' C23_052
Quite possibly the most unrelentingly unpleasant record we've ever released on C23, and without any doubt the most drunken one. Extrinsic is a mysterious collaborative noise project, kind of like a harsh noise version of the Freemasons without the silly handshake... you don't call them, they call you. Two long tracks of barely-able-to-see pedal and VST abuse. Enjoy, or not!
THE WAY THE DEAD LOVE ep C23_055
A collaborative effort from Timothy Tree (White Mountains, Skeleton Makes Good etc.) and Jarrod Rone (Schadenfreude, English Peasants Ensemble etc.). Over 25 minutes, the audio here moves from what could possibly be described as 'harsh ambience', to the inclusion of some apocalyptic beats, to a severe full-on harsh noise attack. Recorded on 4/5 March 08, then heavily edited and processed by Mr. Tree, the result is rather pleasing to say the least. Get downloading!
URSUS 'Turns' C23_058
C23 debut for Ursus. In the tradition of fellow Stoke-on-Trent noisers Dogliveroil, this is an intense seven track release of blistering analogue noise and pedal high jinks, guaranteed to leave you with ringing ears. Lovely stuff!
HERSELF & WHITE MOUNTAINS 'Her Mountains' C23_060
A stunner of a collaborative record from Herself (Italy) and White Mountains (UK). The audio is very difficult to try and categorise, so I listened again, and again, and again... In fact it's easier to tell you that the instrumentation here includes electric and acoustic guitars, piano, drums, electronics, field recordings and voice. A gem of a 30 minute sonic journey, this comes very highly recommended.
