Skrow031
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.

Ellipse / Saffron Slumber - Translucence
Awash in a ceaseless cloud of lost memories, reaching for light. We find ourselves in a sea of our own reckoning, clutching driftwood to our bared breasts, a subtle heat radiating from within that warms the cool mists around us. The atmosphere thickens, becomes as a gelatin which slows our existence and reflects us from within until, finally, we are encased in an unfrozen ice of our deepest fears and desires; static, yet internally vivified. We shatter into numberless shards, waltzing silently in scintillating bliss as we dissipate into the air. The cycle begins anew.
So it is that we present the first (and certainly not the last) split release from Skrow! fellows Ellipse and Saffron Slumber. It showcases arguably some of the greatest work of two fine artists of complimentary mentality and style while exploring a vast musical space of mystique and airy melancholia. Assume an appropriately fetal position and adorn your ears with a suitable binaural apparatus. Surround yourself in translucence, close your eyes and peer through.
Tracklisting:
- Ellipse - Drifting Endless Ethereal (11:33)
- Saffron Slumber - Viscosity (4:01)
- Saffron Slumber - Glass Variation (Silicon Dioxide) (5:46)

Saffron Slumber - Cascades
It is with great excitement on this cool December eventide that we present the long-awaited Skrow! followup from Salem, Oregon’s Saffron Slumber. Cascades is a gently tumbling avalanche of harmonic sound, resulting in four pieces with all the majesty, mystique, and enormity of the prodigious landforms which inspired them. Orography in aural form. Orogeny, even. Music to create mountains by.
Tracklisting:
- Cascade I (5:19)
- Cascade II (3:48)
- Cascade III (4:32)
- Cascade IV (7:27)

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)

Saffron Slumber - Meditations on Autumn
Skrow! is overjoyed to present this, Saffron Slumber’s first official release (and hopefully not his last with us).
Two stunning pieces of ambient beauty dedicated to that most melancholy of seasons. Delayed piano creates a droning wash to lay beneath soft vocalisations, carried away as falling leaves on the September wind.
Headphones encouraged.
Tracklisting:
- Her Hair Was Leaves on the Wind (5:32)
- Endings (4:42)
