Guitar Bastard - Planeswalking
Download album & art (106 mb zip)
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.

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.

grimst
[grImst]
noun, verb, adjective, grimst’d, grimsting
–noun
1. an exceptional form of synthetic sonority both dissonant and consonant, necessarily containing basslines that fill one’s heart with WUB right down to the cockles; musical bodies which present a certain quantity of modern dance floor death sexplosion as well as exuding a vibe that implies several video game systems of varying age seeping into, and perhaps out of, its pores; dubstep’s bizarro twin.
1A. a recording by The Sticky Situation which contains all of the above factors in addition to a cover art which features a rotund and at least slightly creepy clown man thing.
–verb
2. to gyrate uncontrollably at the sound of that which is grimst; to beset another with such so as to cause gyrations. e.g., “dude, I totally grimst’d you.”
-adjective
3. containing or pervaded by grimst (see 1.)
4. a suggestion that one should employ a blastbeat in an electronic song. e.g., “holy moly, maaan, you should grimst all over that track.”

Our resident layer-on-of-hands returns, bringing incessant implacable waves of blistering digital dilation and occipital samplitude, as blithely experienced through the clarifying lens of a fungus-affused brume. We should expect no less.

It is with numberless audio-induced boners that we present this, the Skrow! debut of Temp Sound Solutions (abbreviated hereinafter as TSS). Having been originally intended for the doomed Megatwerp label back in late 2006, documentation states that work began on this album as early as ‘99. Seven years in the making and another four on a metaphorical shelf is serious business.
A dog’s age has not been in vain, however, as this schizophrenic and beautiful slice of audio abuse finally sees proper light of day in all its digital glory. Feast your ears on driving chiprock, chill beats, hardcore breaks, delicious samples, and ass. And ass. Please, we beg of you, download this and allow it to fill your brains with glorious aural semen. Do it.
Tracklisting:
- nut up or shut up (4:19)
- sleeping and famous (2:19)
- ass and ass (1:16)
- tamptamptamp (1:48)

A relatively succinct ode to our flying swarming f(r)iends, for which the adjective “spooky” insistently presents itself despite the unwanted and incorrigible Scooby Doo connotation on the word.
Nonetheless, bathe in the sweet, dark honeys of our discontent within the hive of drones hypnotic and insecure. Feed yourself to the queen.

Hypnotic buzz and swirling ghostly tones, a vortex of haunting sound for one to fall into. One extended guitar-based soundscape from the aptly named Skrow! newcomer, known in other circles as shawn phase of temp sound solutions, who had this to say about the work:
“27 minutes of prepared guitar by yours truly. steinbererish koa/graphite into behringer v-amp2, operating table, fan/duster recorded/postrecorded directly to sony tc-570 3 head reel to reel and digital hdd simultaneously. monitored and recorded in stereo using univox/lafayette 80 watt quadraphonic hifi stereo system and randall 150w amp ran to a 4×12″ speaker to simulate stereo effects.
thanks to sony, sanyo fans, the luthier that made my guitar, the skrow family for embracing my weirder side.”
Dark meditations for dark minds. Headphones required.
Tracklisting:
- In the View of the Mind’s Eye (27:00)
