SISSY SPACEK
BRATH CD
OXEN (oxen013)
Shipping April 15, 2015

A new full length from Sissy Spacek—a blizzard of bass and electronic noise, fusillades of vocals, and drums like razors. Continuing their trajectory of recent noisecore while achieving new elevations of extremity, mixing elements of grindcore and extreme noise into relentless noise-gore. Fans will be rewarded with the velocity of putrefaction, bleakly unable to lay anchor amid relentlessly immersive chaotic fluctuation.

Sissy Spacek
Dash/Anti-Clockwise CD
Helicopter, H 69
Shipping April 15, 2015

58 tracks of unrelentingly destroyed music, cautiously partitioned into short bursts of truly obliterated hardcore, redefining “raw punk”, and an even more destructive force than the already damaged tone of recent output. “The same vein” in a sense, but ruptured and bleeding out, heavily.

After the original CD edition on Gilgongo sold out almost immediately, this album is finally available again from Helicopter as a digipack CD.

<a href="http://johnwiese.bandcamp.com/album/deviate-from-balance">Deviate From Balance by John Wiese</a>

John Wiese “Deviate From Balance” 2xLP (Gilgongo Records)

John Wiese’s long awaited Deviate From Balance is the artist’s first album since 2011’s Seven Of Wands (PAN). Recorded throughout Europe/UK, Australia, and the US, the album includes scored ensemble pieces including over 20 musicians on each, recorded in Melbourne and Portland, as well as audio documentation of installation pieces Wind Changed Direction, a four-channel sound piece presented in the garden of the Getty Center (curated by Liars), and Battery Instruments, an eight-channel piece presented at HSP in New Zealand, now heard for the first time. Also included are various collaborations and recordings from live performances. At over 80 minutes, Deviate From Balance has been packaged as a 2×LP with tip-on gatefold jackets. The material is extremely diverse and serves as a detailed document of this prolific individuals work over the past several years.
