Bukkake Earlobe - Wide Asleep in a Den of Bees
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.

Guitar Bastard - In the View of the Mind's Eye
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.

Bukkake Earlobe - Green Light, Motherfuckers
As proof of the adage “we only hurt the ones we love,” Bukkake Earlobe takes his friend Vito out to lunch but shoves him into traffic after they exit the restaurant. Where there once was a young man full of sound and musical ideas, joie de vivre, and beef lo mein, naught remains but a hideous smear of gore, twisted car parts, and partially digested soba. And yet, the modern artform that now decorates the nameless streets of this metaphorical city still resembles that which came before it, in a pseudo-neo-post-Surrealist kind of way.
In short: Vito brings the storms, the ‘Lobe brings the lightning rods. The masses scream for pause, but weathermen such as these see no red, like Bruce Willis in Color of Night. “Your traffic lights have no effect on us!” they shout in reply, careening through their craft heedless of the splattering of bodies and food, knowing full well that smearing themselves on the ground is all part of the process. Grab some headphones or crank those speakers and put your ear to the road. Hear the smear.

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)

Bukkake Earlobe - Ixixix
Wavering wisps of warbling wash (I’m far too fond of alliteration), presented in honour of a calendrical anomaly the likes of which the vast majority of us shall not see again in our lifetimes. Primarily because we’re all going to die at the end of 2012 anyway, AMIRITE??? For the time being, however, enjoy your nine tracks totaling nine minutes and nine seconds of drone noise constructed of the word nine and named in roman numerals nine three times which equals twenty-seven and the sum of two and seven is in fact nine and today’s date is the ninth day of the ninth month of the supposed ninth year of the second millenium in the common era HOLY FUCK WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!~

Grimbeard - Garbage And
Inspired by Gwilym Wogan’s Daily Refrain, here we have an impromptu EP of grimy surrealist folk. Five songs produced in five days, resulting in just over eleven minutes of sloppy guitar, swirling background hiss, hastily programmed drums, and occasionally rhyming nonsense from the aptly-named Grimbeard. Throw your razors away and folk out with your yolk out.
Tracklisting:
- Beware the Ides of March of Dimes (1:44)
- 21st Century Laundry Man (2:47)
- Bigfoot Don’t You Lose My Number (2:08)
- Bitchcraft (2:29)
- Mouth Full of Pearls (2:07)

Thaumaturgist - Placenta Dinner
Skrow! is excited (and by that we mean aroused) to provide this attractively titled EP, being the debut (Skrow! or otherwise) of mysterious experimental witch doctor, Thaumaturgist (I’m using too many parentheticals). The collection opens with the way “Riders of Doom” should have sounded all along, and never looks back; barraging you artfully with a chiptune glitch fugue of epic proportions, a deconstructed piece of minimalist piano beauty, a raucous ode to corpulent cats, a blasting expression of dissent against grain-based foods, and an advertisement for cybernetic fuckmachines. So, basically, it covers all the bases. We suggest giving your home theatre speakers a workout and cranking this shit to 11. The neighbours love it. Don’t forget to pull out!
Tracklisting:
- DOOOOOOM (2:07)
- 8Variations (2:56)
- Dia de las Galletas (7:46)
- Chasm of Circular Felines (2:46)
- Bread Fucks with My Shit Cycle (2:37)
- Fuck Me Please kthx (2:56)
