Triskaidekaphobics beware: this fine Friday the 13th brings us an epic journey of vintage soundscapes from Skrow! newcomer Jorge Marredo, aka Satisfacción Lab. Aido-Hwedo attempts to give loose sonic form to the mythical rainbow serpent of the same name, and displays a fine palette of aural influence, with obvious nods to early ambient, psychedelia and krautrock, with sprinklings of classic sci-fi sounds and tribal flourishes, as filtered through an amalgamation of analogue and digital manipulations. (Think Doctor Who and Can visit the beginnings of earth civilization.)
The result is a highly organic flowing trip that evokes a variety of sonic imagery throughout its engaging ~51 minute continuous duration. Strap yourself in and enjoy the ride.

This was due out on the more appropriate darkly connotative Ides of March, but things happen that are beyond our control, as Macbeth himself would attest, were his head still attached to his neck and whatnot.
In any event, this would technically be the Skrow! debut of one Jason Cox under his most infamous internet pseudonym, though he’s graced our catalogue several times before as the most excellent clinical noisician Hemostat.
Seibabretsen: Alptraum Kinderleider consists of three epic chunks of psychedelic outsider barbershop fuckery which manage to be engagingly creepy and hilarious at the same time. These tracks are actually medleys of the original recording sessions for Xoc’s Nesterbabies project, which is described quite aptly by the following process: 1. Nintendo song slowed and backward; 2. Nesterbabies sing along; 3. Nesterbabies’ vocals sped up and flipped turned upside down.
Minutes of entertainment!
This release, in the absence of step 3 as mentioned above, has the added bonus of revealing to the perceptive listener the secret lyrics found within the finished Nesterbabies versions. Which, frankly, make this release all the better to blast in one’s car in order to confuse, frighten or otherwise disturb one’s fellow motorists. We get into that kinda thing here. And so should we all. Now go forth and enjoy. And stuff.

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.

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.

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.

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.

You may be wondering what became of Skrow030. Well, we tied that bastard up and locked him in our freezer. We’ll let him out when the time is right. Meanwhile, chew on this:
Thaumaturgist - Trash of the Titans
All the fires of hell. Cosmic ultimatums made to screaming wenches. The delicious piss of the gods. Laurence Olivier in a spandex zebra-print leotard. Horrible roaring distortion and decimated looping bits of scratchy genital herpes infested ear rot.
