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!~

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)

- Bukkake Earlobe - Milk Me
In which we release an EP of noise.
The supplier had this to say about the assortment of audio files that accompanied the lazy art-bullshit (bullshit-art? I can’t decide) excuse for cover art I just said art like five times in one sentence and no I swear I’m not “on something” right now unless maybe sleep deprivation counts as an abusable substance, which it probably should:
“The last Bukkake Earlobe release was some time ago, and I made this one mostly because I’m sick of music. Random samplesets were loaded into my tracker of choice and then I just mashed my hands across the keyboard for a few seconds. I bounced the results to Cubase and mangled them as is my wont to do. You know, I was just thinking about how much paisley patterns look like paramecia. My almost-step-brother’s fiancee was wearing a skirt prominently featuring single-celled organisms today!”
…And we’re back. Please enjoy some lovely noise at our expense. My kitchen is on fire.

Hemostat - I
Skrow! is proud to present our momentous tenth release (double digits, dammit!), and what makes it even better is that it’s another nifty nugget of noisome noise from our friendly neighbourhood Hemostat.
What makes this honour all the more honourable is that this collection is a reissue of Hemostat’s first forays into digital noise. Originally released 8 years ago on long out of print CD-R, this digital reissue is remastered, rehashed and reactuated, with additional material not appearing on the original release. 40 tracks of schizophrenic stereo subversion for your terror and bemusement. As always, we suggest playing this in your automobile at excessive volumes while gesturing obscenely at fellow motorists. Enjoy!

Cigarettes & Clip-Art - Tanks for the Mammaries (Cigarettes & Clip-Art remix) / Doin' Dishes (For Sure)
A remix of a remix, and a hot slab of experimental dance comprise this, the first release from the crudely drawn floating head which calls itself Cigarettes & Clip-Art, and also the first “single” release here on Skrow!.
The artist sent me an email with the following in description of the two-part, one-track medley:
“Slopped (literally slopped) together remix of Bukkake Earlobe’s “Tanks for the Mammaries”. It is full of bells and whistles (not literally), and a snare drum that had no business sneaking up behind me.”
I’m not entirely certain how a floating head goes about sending an email, though I would imagine there’s telekinesis involved. Watch out for that! Meanwhile, enjoy this.
