Nario - Most of Me
As promised, the debut of VGMix alumnus and Elizabethtown, Kentucky native Nick Hagman, known internet-wide as Nario. Most of Me explores industrial electronica, chiptune, atmosphere, live piano, comic relief and more (not necessarily in that order), with an infectious catchiness, a strong sense of melody, and an engaging cinematic quality that combine to ensure a consistently fun listen and a very cohesive album through all the stylistic variation. Pump the bass and turn those speakers up! It could be the best 35 minutes you’ll spend all day.

Bukkake Earlobe - Earless
An impromptu noise EP appears! Constructed with blinded ears: the entirety of this EP was recorded, programmed, and manipulated completely without listening. Minor tweaks were made to the end result, and a few hours later, we released the damn thing. An experiment in soundless noisemaking, chronicled only on Skrow!. Despite the title of the EP, we encourage the use of auditory receptor appendages for the enjoyment of this record. Should you lack them, we suggest biting your stereo. Yum.
Tracklisting:
- The Lidless Sleep of Spring Dreams Millions (8:08)
- The Summer of Our Discontent is Marauding Leaves Into the Effortless Mother Helix (6:24)
