Skrow! dutifully and happily welcomes another newcomer to the fold, French improvisational guitar researcher Dongle Doc. Ça gratte is a 35 minute psychedelic journey into a uniquely organic atmospheric experimental cybermetropolis, in which lurks twisted jazz-blues alleycats, vaguely rock-scented ruffians, seedy semi-sapient drone-noise night clubs, and other sonic creatures too wonderfully terrible to describe.
Enjoy carefully in your favorite aural apparatus today for the low low price of nothing! Happy trails.

This day brings us the mighty Skrow! debut of a giant of the progressive chiptune scene, Zan-Zan-Zawa-Veia (hereinafter abbreviated as ZZZV or Zanzan out of my own sheer incorrigible laziness). With 26 tracks at just under half an hour, this album functions as a sort of cross between an imaginary retro game soundtrack and a collection of 8bit library music. For example, #082 brings you the Neo Kobe weather report, #075 is the commercial jingle for Mr. Saturn-Os breakfast cereal, #087 is the theme song to the short-lived sitcom I Was a Teenage Robo, #074 takes you to your Mute City Nightly News traffic report… I’ll just leave off there, yeah? Point being: this is a rapidfire collection of at times catchy, at times elusive, highly image-invoking, always interesting, all around good shit, capped off by an almost-8-minute epic slice of proggy, mathy Zanzan supremeness. You have nothing to lose but your pants.
Download for free and rock out to your heart’s content, and/or buy the CD using the paypal button above/below to support the artist and all that happy stuff. Yay.

With this our 42nd release (insert obligatory Douglas Adams reference here), The Lobe sells the fuck out, and in doing so, creates a new genre. The entire world soils its collective pants in joy/terror/neutral acknowledgement. Bring your own toilet paper.

We’re mad excited up in here, because right now we are officially welcoming our good friend Quinn Fox to the Skrow! family by dropping Extended Mission, the long-awaited followup to his 2008 effort, Resonant Yaw. Y’all better recognize. RESPECK!
Lavish space-age synth grooves that consistently tread that precarious line between rock and pop with an effortless smooth-but-edgy dichotomy, atop which rest the sensuous croons and occasional passionate shouts generated by Quinn’s distinct baritone. The result is an engaging atmosphere, encompassing easily accessible songs which reveal hidden layers of sound and meaning on requisite repeat listens.
Headphones, car, day, night, whatever. This shit is good anywhere, anywhen. Please enjoy with us.

Believe it or not, the perpetually delayed first installment of the Skrow! label compilation is officially coming out within a matter of days. Yeah, I don’t believe it either. It’s true though. Srsly. Meanwhile, feast your ears on the latest from our good friend Guitar Bastard…
One continuous 45-minute aural sphere of influence within which one may find themselves drawn, willing or not, into higher dominions of reasoning. An incessant expanse of subtly fluctuating drones enveloping a limitless void of mystique and otherness.
Yeah. Headphones, bro.

With great pride do we present the debut of experimental, free-genre duo earthbreather. A collaboration between Saffron Slumber and Ellipse, this non-geographically proximal pairing came to be, as these things are, via the internet. In late 2008, Saffron Slumber began “remixing” by way of manipulation and de/reconstruction some brief guitar clips sent to him by Ellipse. The latter, as well, began to perform similar mutations upon pieces created by the former. As this process continued, the songs would evolve into something entirely new, and the process itself became progressively more collaborative. An unwritten manifesto took form between the two artists to ignore the perceived boundaries of genre conventions and to simply create.
On Forget the Sky, earthbreather experiment with various aural textures and explore atmospheres dark and light, concrete and ethereal, consonant and dissonant, all in flowing and relatively structurally free compositional forms. The result is an album that is both cohesive and varied throughout its approximate 50 minute duration.
Headphones are suggested and encouraged. Please join us.

- Talk in Blue (10:34)

- Ice Throne of Ullr (8:34)

Reclining at length upon a microfiber couch with stitches in one’s mildly malaised testicles and a head full of oxycodone warmth has a way of putting one into an insomniac haze fit to inspire the spontaneous midnocturnal creation of a certain pandemonious, sonorous whorl.
At least so we’re told.
