light of shipwreck - the night sky burns a hole in us all - peasant magik - cdr - 7$
Every time you think you know everything Delaware has to offer, it throws something like Ben Fleury-Steiner at you. Think AMREP. But instead of being founded in the States mid 80s, Hazelmyer was from New Zealand and maybe a decade younger. Make sense? Pro-pressed CDRs. Vellum covers and obi, designed by James Livingston of Black Horizons.

helm - to an end - peasant magik - lp -19$
LP Edition of 300
Co-released with Alter. "'To An End' is the debut solo album from London, UK's Luke Younger (also known as 1/2 of Birds of Delay). The album is comprised of an extremely complex network of intricate layers and mixed sounds. A haunting composition of field recordings, tape loops, percussion, and electronics (among other things) create an extremely tense and daunting audio tapestry which leaves the listener pondering the intense meaning of the sounds chosen. Repeated themes arrive suddenly and then shift into new passages seamlessly creating a surreal environment of confusion and alienation. All of the carefully mixed and slow morphing passages are balanced by surgical editing technique (while leaving the tired "cut-up" techniques behind.) While the albums first piece has many properties of concrete and sound poetry reminiscent of the work of Charles Amirkhanian or Bengt Hambraeus, it does not confine itself to these genre of these works. On the albums flipside, field recordings and mysterious tape audio swell in and out of the mix, gone before you can fully realize it was ever there. Soft washes of white noise float delicately on the surface of an infinite curious hum. A sense of unease simultaneously locks in with an aura of beauty, both worlds comprimising to share a space with each other in an extended phantom tone. The long excursion into a wash of calm tone could float away forever, its as profound as the discovery of pure silence or the sound of a massive skyscraper collapsing to the ground. It's not about it's size, it's about the overbearing weight, which this album carries loads of."

LP Edition of 300
expo 70 - psychosis - peasant magik - lp -16$

Every time I listen to this I am left with an overwhelmingly

korperschwache - fear the hex - peasant magik - 3xcass - 10$
Black Canyon Drone starts things off right away with a blast of hyper distorted guitar and doesn't stop for the remainder if the cassette. Hidden melodies float in and out, with the occasional riff and drum beat surfacing. Death Disco slows things down with stumbling drums over layers of murk and blackened filth. Dissonance and Submission finishes everything off with walls of buzz and shards of feedback. Not for the open-minded.-pm

sarah's charity - mirror of abundance - peasant magik - cass - 6$
Squealing feedback and tortured guitar movements spread overtop thickblack, droney buzz. Think Hendrix, but he accidentally set himself on
fire. Or maybe Wall without the Wall? Simultaneously overwhelming and
lulling.

diaphragm + migrations in rust - framed of remission- peasant magik - cdr- 7$
The first time I saw these two play I was sitting, totally sober, in the back of a warehouse in Purchase, NY. Maybe it was the hours of Simpson's arcade game I had just finished, but it was one of the most focused and engaging shows I had seen in ages. Later that night I approached MIR about working together, and 9 month later this finally sees the light of day. Both Diaphragm and Migrations In Rust contribute one slow burner each, with a collaborative track to finish things off. Somewhere between the space of Andrew Chalk, layers of Birchville Cat Motel, and the sinister atmosphere of Abruptum.

century plants – bloodrise - peasant magik - 3" cdr -5$
Howling monolithic massive live set from this explosive duo. Nightmarish fog cutter sonics ebb and throb with a dark sinister undertow... unlike anything else you’ve heard from them. This one documents them opening for Dead Machines in summer 07. Molten lava inspiration was flowing down into the basement that night, and the proof is right here. Total power focus. Echoes of Robedoor, Throbbing Gristle, Birchville Cat Motel, and countless other sonic terrorists can be heard, but Century Plants stir things up into their own unique brand of madness. The 3" cdr is painted black and wrapped in a foldout sleeve held. 3" CDR Edition of 100
