(verdu-35) Particle Separator: Cheap Digital CD (verdu-34)
Debut album by these
noise rockers from Tampere. Features members of Frivolvol, Candy Cane,
Tuvalu and Plain Fade. Throat: Licked Inch Fur 12" (verdu-33)
Back to the
90’s! Throat is a four-piece band from Turku playing
noiserock with an AmRep sound - and they are seriously good at what
they do. Check out “Piggie” video on Youtube.
Four song 45 rpm 12″. Co-released with At War With False
Noise (UK), Kaos Kontrol (FIN) and Made In Kansas (USA). Hebosagil: Ura CD (verdu-32)
Sludge/noiserock/hardcore/metal
hybrid from Oulu, Finland. Their second full-lenght. Check out
“Over Auki” on their homepage.
Candy Cane / Oranssi Pazuzu split CD (verdu-31)
Candy Cane continues in
the path of their previous full-length Jaula, digging deeper into
black/death metal realms. Oranssi Pazuzu blends a whole range of
influences (70's prog, psychedelia, black metal) to create a sound
pretty much their own.
Co-released with Firebox Records Plain Fade with WiOL: Anthropogonia CD (verdu-30)
Plain Fade (Tampere,
Finland) joins forces with Wiipurilaisen Osakunnan Laulajat (a 50-head
choir from Helsinki) to perform a piece exclusively composed for this
collaboration by Plain Fade, and sung in ancient Greek, Latin, Italian
and English. Musically it’s somewhere between over-the-top
prog-rock, modern classical, highly innovative choir music and
whatelse. Nothing short of breathtaking, we tell you. Hebosagil / Two Beats Off split 7" (verdu-29)
Seriously, this one is a
monster. Super intense ass-kicking by both bands. Hebosagil has a
gigantic sludge/metal/hardcore sound with loads of potential for
headbanging and fist-shaking. Nothing I scrible here can do justice to
how totally blown away we were by their show in Helsinki last Spring.
And what about Two Beats Off then? Well, overwhelmingly energetic noisy
hardcore punk that has a charming messy edge into it. Adorable and
exactly our cup of tea. Co-released with Psychedelica and
TBO’s own label Posion Idea. Kirlian Crossing: These Days Are Still Our Friends CD (enhanced) (verdu-28)
Third full-length from
this lovely avant-pop group. The band hasn’t changed much -
and that’s only a good thing! They still deliver melancholic
pop tunes with a good ear for imaginative arrangements and a sound
pretty much their own. Enhanced CD with additional mp3 files - 104
minutes of music in total! Gunpowder Power & Gold: Wolf Under The Floor LP (verdu-27)
This calls for a quote
from the good’ol Blues Brothers: “What kind of
music do you have here?”, “Both! Country AND
western!” Debut album and what an
absolutely remarkable piece of work it is. They’ve got the
songs and they’ve got the sound, it’s dramatic and
it’s mighty. The album comes with stylish full-color gatefold
covers and -for those of you who like things digital- an mp3 download
coupon! Aortaorta – Chaos Rhymes LP (verdu-26)
Debut full-lenght by
these hardcore noiserockers from Tampere. Fantastic stuff. Co-released
with Tuska & Ahdistus and Sonitus Insulto.. Heroin And Your Veins: Nausea CD (verdu-25) April 15th 2009
Instrumental, pitch-black
and bittersweet 'film noir' music. A
soundtrack for a movie that has never been made. This is the band's
second album and a
strong follower to the debut Dead People's Trails that came out in 2007
on Solina
Records.
Melancholic
and lovely music for a very rainy day. Some tunes and videos available
on their website. Candy Cane: Jaula CD (verdu-24) April 22nd 2009
A kick-ass avant
rock/hardcore/black & death metal genre
blender from Tampere. Their previous album Fay-ra-Doowra (on Jukeboss)
was
jaw-dropping in all of its variety but this takes things even further.
Nothing short of
an avant garde metal masterpiece. Check their myspace
for some
tracks from the
album. Kompleksi: Sister Longlegs Dances in the Disco LP (verdu-24)
The future of electronic
music in a way it will never happen.
This two-piece from Tampere (pHinn & Mike Not) create some of
the
catchiest oddball “eclectro” ever produced in this
country
of ours. Haunting, taunting, outstandingly peculiar and most
importantly - totally convincing. Classic stuff. Sister Longlegs is
Kompleksi’s debut full-length, recorded between 2002-2006 and
released previously only as mp3 downloads on Beatport.
We are
proud and overtly excited to put it finally out on vinyl. Mother Goose: Anna Lumena CD (verdu-23) April/May 2009 Happy birthday Mother Goose 20 years! And what a grand way to celebrate - Anna Lumena is another ambitious album filled with the most passionate indie pop rock you could possibly dream of. We'd actually go as far as claiming this to be their most stunning and solid whole so far. Judge for yourself! The tunes on their myspace tend to change quite often but go on and check what's currently available.
Siniaalto: Kuolema CD (verdu-22) Psychedelic ambient moods, monotonic arpeggio rhythms and synth action of various sorts. Siniaalto is a Helsinki based instrumental trio with a strong fixation for vintage gear and two wonderful albums and one 7" out previously on If Society. Even though they're obviously very much influenced by some mid 70's kosmische krautrock groups like Tangerine Dream, Cluster and Klaus Schulze the band is by no means a mere retro act - they've got a distinguishable, very profilic sound of their own. The title of the records (which means 'Death' in English) actually gives a good hint of the content as the band's output is this time noticeably darker and more oppressive. Video for the song Matka vyöhykkeelle can be seen on their homepage Pymathon / Gentle Evil split LP (verdu-20) The most ambitious and so far best heavy/jazz split LP of 2007! No shit. Pymathon = improvised thrash metal, Gentle Evil = harsh noise free jazz. Both kick ass, crush skulls and are loud enough to demolish buildings.Vene - Pimeä Puoli miniCD (verdu-19 / IF-37 / ZR-26 / SUPO-005 / released October 6th 2006) Ok, now these blokes are not even in their twenties yet but they play like all hell's gonna break loose. TIGHT noisepunkrock in the vein of early Radiopuhelimet/Hero Dishonest/Jesus Lizard/etc, with a sackful of something completely their own (Finns should pay special attention to their clever lyrics). 15 tunes in 18 minutes, no bullshit. Joint release with some of the finest in Finland: If Society, Zerga and Supo Records. Kirlian Crossing - Margin CD (verdu-18 / released October 6th 2006) Did you purchase the debut a year and a half ago? If you did - you'll know what to expect. Not that they're doing the same record all over again, just that you know how GOOD the follower can be. And in case you didn't - well, I guess getting these both now at the same time should make nearly anyone a happy fellow. Genuine indie rock that will make your ears sigh of sheer pleasure. We're talking about originality here. Magyar Posse - Random Avenger CD (verdu-17) Another brilliant record from Magyar Posse. Their third full lenght album is again without a doubt a contemporary classic. Stands strongly on its own, no comparisons needed. Check out their music video for the song Whirlpool of Terror and Tension made by Las Palmas Films Itäväylä - Itävalta CD (verdu-16) Hottest
of all hotshit. This seven-headed monster -with no less than four
guitarists- has returned with a strong follower to their excellent
debut album (released by Rikos & Monsp). And you better hold on
tight buddy 'cos they have developed their modern psychedelic
electroboogie further into every possible direction you can imagine.

KUUSI PIENTÄ KUSTANTAJAA We were also part of a distribution alliance called Kuusi Pientä Kustantajaa with five other likeminded labels: Autotehtaat, Boing Being, Lal Lal Lal, Trash Can and Zerga. The thing has been rather passive lately but who knows - maybe it'll be activated some day. Idea was that every now and then one of us released a 7" record which was then distributed together.
