Ladies and gentlemen ladies and gentlemen ladies and gentlemen today we bring you another raucous exposition of 21st century trash art - and we mean that in the nicest way possible.

Skrow024: 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.

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)

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!~
Tracklisting:

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)

- Mouth Full of Pearls (2:07)

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)

- Fuck Me Please kthx (2:56)

The crudely-drawn floating head returns as a vengeant stormcloud, curling forth with great malignance to swallow your pathetic unsuspecting city. Noisy synths rumble and bounce across jagged beats, the occasional slice of guitar flashing briefly in the night sky. Five chunks of unusual barometric pressure which will make you unsure whether to dance, headbang, or throw yourself on the floor and hallucinate. We suggest all three, simultaneously if possible. You may need to use gaffer’s tape to keep those headphones on. Goodnight, Mr. Moon!
Tracklisting:

- Section C (6:44)
- Section B (4:58)
- Section D (1:39)
- 23rd Orifice (Hole) (24:13)

Zounds! Sounds!
Digital deconstructions of old 2-track tape recordings of acoustic guitar by one Allen Thompson. Having been chopped, spliced, mangled, and all the other usual ‘Lobery, they become droning blasts of power noise with a melodic undercurrent. Play it loud and scare your neighbours.
