New Night People Cassettes

3 brand new most-probably amazing casettes and a zine from the Raccoo-oo-oon guys' Night People label! Sure to all sell-out quite quickly so hop on this before you miss out.


NP018 Ryan Garbes - 'Endless Bummer' C17 $5
"New garbage from the young musical genius Ryan Garbes (perhaps best known for his drum and percussion contributions to Raccoo-oo-oon). Side A revels in redlined blown out drumming, finding eventual accompaniment from a drunken slide guitar fury, resulting in what can be properly described as the fucked blues. Side B brings together the holy trinity of drums, guitar and more guitar into a kind of distorted raga with each element taking turns, trading fours, evoking an eternity of summer fun in the mouth of inevitable oblivion. Sleeve and label screenprinted by Ryan."

NP017 Hell & Bunny w/ Mike Khoury - 'Restitution' C26 $5
"The percussion and cello masters who make up 2/3 of Graveyards infamy collaborate with violinist Mike Khoury to bring about a sparse and intriguing listen. Droning strings offset by bursting rolls and plucks set the framework for two improvisations perfectly evoking a mood of sinister desolation. Each side rolls on with an uncomfortable unpredictability until climaxing in the death of the composition, leaving the listener unsettled yet oddly pleased."

NP016 Blue Shift C20 $5
"Providence's own Cybele Collins brings a maelstrom of solo improvisations shredding the strings of her violin furiously, building dense walls that crest only to reveal quiet beautiful melodies underneath. Filled out with loose poignant drumming, and housed in dense drawings by the artist, the tape is made up of many short songs, always changing, never dwelling too long on any given theme. The result: a catchy and complex release, that over time one comes to realize has been created with the utmost love and care."

NP014 Heart of Bees $1
"HEART OF BEES #2 AVAILABLE New serialized publication featuring xerox image work by Andy Spore. All issues released as NP014 on a quasi-monthly basis."
