Psychedelica & noise in Resistor op 28 juli 2025

11/07/2025

Back in stock! In case you missed out on a copy last time.. we decided to do a second (and last) run of the december batch. Tapes are up now in the big cartel shop.

CG05: Awenydd - To Bathe In The Bliss Of No Shape (C30)

"To Bathe in the Bliss of No Shape" is yet another statement by this Haarlem based noise outfit. After his live debut in 2023 and various homemade releases Awenydd has been on a steady road, releasing multiple tapes on various labels (Satatuhatta, Fusty, etc..) in a short period of time. With "To Bathe in the Bliss of No Shape" Awenydd presents us with 30 minutes of powerful cosmic/psychadelic noise.

no overdubs ∴ no ego ∴ no purpose

CG06: SMR.TNI - Isolation (C45)

SMR.TNI is a q***r multimedia artist from the Dortmund area with already a couple of releases under their belt on such labels as Silken Heart and Himukalt's EK Verlag imprint. Isolation continues where "Unrelieving" and "Unreasonable" left off, combining power electronics with harsh noise segments and a heavy vocal presence, featuring both lyrics and vocals by Ester (Himukalt) and Christine Kärkkäinen.

The ego dies here, powerful and transcending electronics.

Focused and densely textured harsh noise combining scrap metal, field recordings, feedback and electromagnetic interference.
