Witch Cults of the Radio Age

Loving this at present.

Willie Isz

A while ago we worked with our old friends at Lex records to design the record packaging for the Georgiavania LP by experimental hip hoppers, Willie Isz.

Jneiro is a fan of JJ and asked specifically for him to provide an illustration for the record. Tom from Lex contacted us, we listened to the LP, liked it a lot, and agreed to work on something. JJ provided a drawing and with the help of Dave Thomas at Fat Cat, we developed a simple concept for how we wanted the finished item to look.

Although the LP has been available for a few months now, we were waiting for the vinyl version to be released before listing some for sale through the online store. Unfortunately the vinyl has been delayed so we will have a handful of CDs available from this weekend.

Kosmische Echoes

Following last week's airing of BBC4's excellent "Krautrock: The Rebirth of Germany" documentary, I've spent the week listening to all things Kosmische, new and old. I stumbled across this promotional video for Von Spar's excellent HyBolt 12". I am compelled to share.

Norman Painting R.I.P.

Voice of Phil Archer dies aged 85

Very sad news.

Holmes Story

I've been gradually building up a Flickr portfolio, and I found these images this morning. They're from a feature Asayan magazine in Japan did on Holmes, the label that Russell and Sofia made before Silas. Everyone looks so young!

Will Sweeney in Japan

Our wonderful travelling companion, Mr William Sweeney, will be exhibiting various examples of his drawings and prints at a new show in Harajuku, Tokyo, opening on Friday 16th October.

Apparently, from 8pm on the opening evening, he will be drawing "Psychic Portraits" of volunteers, aided by artists Matt Furie and Hiroshi Iguchi.

So if you're in town this coming Friday...
