Discontinued Releases

	NP069 Yves/Son/Ace - "Cold Showers" C28 Yves/Son/Ace is a weird loner vibe (mem. of Factums, Love Tan etc), this cassette rips alot different then the upcomming LP on Night-People which is focused way more around the deconstruction of punked out drum machine pop, and drugged out psych electronics. Cold Showers is a return to a premordial place, dark caverns of synth muck, cold feelings, and drugged hulicinations. One of the strangest releases Night-People has released, which has us siked for sure. Deep and lost. Art by SDReed and Yves. LISTEN
	NP066 The Savage Young Taterbug - "Boys of the Feather" C20 Couldn't be more excited about this one, first offering from the smoked out styles of Iowa City's very own Savage Young Taterbug.  Teenage road warrior, dead head punk, perma triped wanderer, Taterbug lays down his tape collaged world of free flowing Americana psych bliss. Little bells, dustbowl ballad guitars, stand by me youth cult dreams, and Manson family mind fucks, its all here, even hope for a better tomorrow and a positive spirit for today which can say alot in these droned out wasted times. Let the light inside yr skull. Artwork by SDREED. LISTEN
	NP065 XRay Eyeballs - "s/t" C25 XRay Eyeballs is OJ and Carly (from NYC rockers Golden Triangle) new drum machine driven dark punk project. Bathed in reverb, low fi sheen, and weirdo grit, XRay Eyeballs sounds like two drifter kids covered in makeup and glitter trying to escape a dead city skyline proclaiming there love for each other as the world just passes them by. Creeped out and charming all at once. If the world died but the songs kept playing. Artwork by SDREED. LISTEN
	NP063 Trash Dog - "Namaste" C15 Another blast of scummy low fi thrash/hardcore sludge from Iowa City�s Trash Dog, definitely there best release to date.  The quality on this one is an all around step up, short and brutal, with some drifting riff driven annihilation feedback purge finding its way onto the B side. Rolling with a deep lineup of Gretchen, Witscher, Garbes, and Miller, this ultra limited release from fall of 08 needed to find its way around again. Lost mind, fucked life, void gang, shit and failure anthems. Artwork by RGarbes.
	NP062 Jeans Wilder - "Antiques" C34 Jeans Wilder is new loner fuzz under the rug bedroom pop from San Diego that sits both on the sunny side and under the night time. Nostalgic, hazy, real pretty and low key, this one shines when it needs to for sure.  Hushed melodies abound and peak through the weird fog for a little bit of glory in the sun when the feeling is suited. Play at night on your headphones, thinking about lost love, abandoned dreams, and what�s next. Artwork by SDREED. LISTEN
	NP061 Blessure Grave - "Unknown Blessure" C26 Blessure Grave is new blood San Diego folk, goth, post punk, drawing resonance to alot that has come before but they keep it fresh and interesting. A lot of good repetitive hooks on this one with some bleak winter hell, frozen world, dead heart vibes makes for a dark listen.  Blessure Grave must have spent some time in the colder northern wastes of the American vastness before ending up in Southern Cal. Tons of output from this prolific group on the horizon, keep yr ears open. Artwork by SDREED. LISTEN
	NP045 Russian Tsarlag - Community Death Tube LP Night-People is excited to present the first full length LP by Russian Tsaralg, long running solo performance and recording outlet of Tampa born Providence based creep crooner Carlos Gonzalez. Russian Tsaralag infuses sci-fi and horror movie aesthetics with strange loner punk minimalism. Tsarlags sparse, savage, downer, aesthetics, and strange audio skits, are the perfect soundtrack to the declining age. LISTEN
	NP068 Peaking Lights - "Two for Ceremony" C15 Another killer release by Night-People's favorite group, Madison WI's Peaking Lights. Aaron Coyes and Indra Dunis cut this session for a late 08 west coast tour with Wet Hair, and it rips on in that beautifully dreamy, sparkling synth layered style of haunted electronics, dubed out organ beats, and cascading washes of psych blown guitar fuzz that is only Peaking Lights. Art by SDReed. LISTEN
	NP067 Nautilus - "Big Shadow" C25 Nautilus is NYC based muscian and artist Heidi Diehl's (Time-Life, WWVV etc) solo musical outlet. Airy landscapes of droning, vibranting, glacial subtlety, and atmopsheric instuermantls blend with decaying walls of sounds, none harsh or overpowering, all flowing in and out of each other in harmony. Voiced over the land, a symetry and wide vision of an endless horizon, drifting, falling and climbing, finding the way and loosing it again. Art by SDReed. LISTEN
	NP056 Wet Hair - "the Beach" C32 Tape from most recent west coast tour, features different versions of songs that will be released on a forthcoming lp and cd, plus some songs that will not.
	NP043 Neon Tempal - Midnight Moods C44 Neon Tempal is Pascal Nicholas solo project, currently centered in Lyon France, this central England transplant spent times in groups like Stuckometer, Cars etc. Midnight Moods is centered around Pascal�s intimate, intense, and immediate drumming, and improvised percussion generated soundscapes. Occasional vocals and an assortment of other instruments come into the mix, but the feeling of live immediate playing is always at the forefront. Front cover by Pascal. LISTEN
	NP054 Knitted Abyss - Winter Barn C32 Knitted Abyss is Lucy Phelan (1/2 of Naked on the Vague) and Anna John two Sydney AU. Residents and staple down under weirdo makers. Winter Barn is like a dark reverberation of down tuned psychedelic guitar murmur and gothy drum machine rhythm, backed by ghostly vocals and doomy echoes. This is a real hazy, foggy, nocturnal set of sounds for a new mutant world. Art by SDreed. LISTEN
	NP055 Raccoo-oo-oon - Mythos Folkways 5 "Future Fusion" C46 Final installment in the Mythos Fokways series, recorded late summer 07 by Mike Dixon in Chicago, mastered by Pete Swanson, the companion piece to the epic final double LP on NNF/RTB. Dark drifting psych rock, circular and uplifting, guitars weave around atmospheric electronics and R. Garbes signature propulsive drumming. Late dead encrusted shrine rock for the end times. Art by Garbes/Reed.
	NP053 Eternal Tapestry - The Declining Star C25 A real beast of a psych rock band, Eternal Tapestry (members of Heavy Winged, JOMF, Tunnels etc) kick it in the red with their melodic instrumental blasts of post PSF atmospheric epics and power trio freak outs. Ultra tight driving propulsive rhythm section work out provide the backdrop for layers of intricate guitar fuzz. Just the right amount of letting it rip and holding it back. Art by SDReed. LISTEN
	NP044 Caethua - The Pleasures of Manhood C23 Caethua is Clare Hubbard, traveling songstress, multi-instrumentalist, and general exceptional artist and person. On the Pleasures of Manhood Clare gives tribute to her stepfather poet Robley Conant Wilson on this elegant tape of reverb soaked folk gems. One of Night-Peoples highest fidelity and most considered releases yet, The Pleasures of Manhood, has an uplifting but somber side that allows the feeling of Clare�s excellent vocals and playing to shine through. LISTEN
	NP056 Driphouse - 3 C12 third installment in the driphouse series. features ultra rare digital violin, and less rare digital synthesizer, by Daren Ho, limited edition and limited quantity
	NP047 Ryan Garbes - Freedom Now FREE DOWNLOAD Whats Garbes getting into these days, with his blown out over saturated tape production style, broken guitar, jazz fusion drum styles? Freedom Now Suite? downloadable album? just keeps getting weirder. Right from the start this is a great release, things get started with an ultra melodic guitar driven burner, then things start to break down, strange broken down beats, rythms and rough guitar styles, blown apart but still riding on some kind of wave of upbeat melody. Hidden in there somewhere is even some church organ jams. Another killer what the fuck new age punk blast from Raccoo-oo-oon drummer, visual artist, generally siked dude, Ryan Garbes..
	NP037 SHV - s/t C40 Ali formerly of the excellent Boston act Dreamhouse is SHV (Superior Human Vomit). I first got turned onto SHV via Ali playing in the basement here at Night People HQ. After that night Ali gave me a copy of her killer first SHV tape - Endless Love, on the Rare Youth label. SHV is never the same thing twice, always performative, always sitting on the edge of failure and greatness, always pushing the boundary. I've seen SHV jump through a ceiling to start a set, tie up a whole audience, stick a dude in an oven, and generally just rock the fuck out always. This tape doesn't disappoint either, blown out synth and drum machine burners, catchy post punk hypnosis, cultist weirdo gestures , something new on every listen of this especially hard to pin down puke punk project. Art by SHV, Printing by SDREED, with fold out double sided covers.
	NP051 Wet Hair - 08 Tour Tape C30 $5 First document of Wet Hair as a  2 piece band, shows this quickly evolving project at its best thus far. Cult electric gospel burning, flowing over layers of analog synth atmosphere and industrial trance punk. More focused around distinctive vocal, organ and synth arrangements, with touches of live drumming giving way to drum machine pulse and electronic spew. Melodic, upbeat, focused, dark, warm, cold, catchy, and confusing,  Wet Hair is just beginning to grow into its own possibilities. Art by SDREED. MYSPACE
	NP041 Peaking Lights - Clearvoiant C30 $5 Peaking Lights is Aaron and Indra (also of Numbers) from Rah Dunes new duo project recently relocated to rural Wisconsin from the Bay Area. Floating electronic pulses, controlled feedback, tape loops, organ, snyth, guitar, and vocal harmonies layered into  waves of four track noise pop goodness. The perfect soundtrack to walking in mysterious places, haunted neighborhoods, lost river banks, and bike rides at night. This release really glows and grows. Silkscreened artwork by SDREED. MYSPACE
	NP030 Wet Hair - s/t 1 Sided 12" (silkscreened picture disc.) $10 This is the first solo work of Shawn Reed as Wet Hair, recorded during late fall of 07. On this LP we find Wet Hair discovering its attitude, its approach, its dark underworld aesthetic, of cult zone dub, blasted vocal purge, trance snyth uneasiness.  More direct, focused, and eclectic then the Irifi cass. this one burns blown out and electric, amplified to the point of breaking and then subtle and brooding once more. Play it loud. Ultra deluxe silkscreened artwork by SDREED. As much of a visual artifact as a medium of sound. Click image to see full artwork.
	NP049 Earth Crown - Say Fuck You to the Beast C25 $5 Earth Crown is Door, and Door is Earth Crown, Door moved down to  Baltimore's annihilated warehouse district a few months ago from his legendary former address Castle Puppy in New Brunswick NJ and the change seems to make sense, the sound collected on this tape relates to the deserted post apocalyptic feel of the cities most lost inhabitants and streets.  Sci Fi sythy feedback fuckers, crust nihilism, industrial pulse wars, termination soundtracks, ultra control feeding into chaotic electronic spew, dystopian rules. Door is dialed into a dark cold future. Ragging and minimal, music for replicant dreams. Art by Door.
	NP040 Talk Normal - S/T C20 $5 Talk Normal is a new 2 piece from Brooklyn NY consisting of members Andrya Ambro and Sarah Register. Disjointed angular structures contrast dense waves of percussion, found sounds, and melodic vocals, totally minimal and maximal all at once. Ridding out post punk creep jams and collage numbers reminiscent of This Heat,Talk Normal is a fresh one, lacking any kind of easy pigeon holing bullshit. This is really considered stuff. Very recommended. Art by SDREED. MYSPACE
	NP050 Teeth Mountain - S/T C41 $5 Teeth Mountain are a heavy hitting drone and percussion unit from Baltimore. On this tape of hard hitting jams dense walls of cello, guitar, electronics and feedback glide along with an upbeat wave of percussion and drum pummel, a sound that would seem to fill the loftiest of churches, temples or gymnasiums. Featuring a revolving cast of Baltimore's finest, Teeth Mountain collage together some of there best live spills on this cassette of epic endless burners. Art by SDREED. MYSPACE
	NP0 Ryan Garbes - quarter size book New 24 page book with text and images, silkscreend covers, click cover image for a spread from book
	NP044 Driphouse - 2 C12 Second installment in the Driphouse cassette series, more Krauty, droney, sonic-goo from Drip Daren Ho, even heavier then before, ultra limited and gone before it even touched the Night-People website. Possible collective reissue on the horizon after more of these come out?
	NP042 Driphouse - 1 C12 Daren Ho, Raccoo-oo-oon member, general shredder, presents his first solo release Driphouse 1. Textural ambient drone scape, with pulsing backdrops, synth layers, deep vocal swells, this one recalls so many great moments of Kraut Electronic Cyborg Bliss but does it all in its own way, trance vibrations for the digital age. Artwork by Drip. (This is an ultra limited tour tape, so limited to mail order only in very sparse quantity so act fast.)
	NP040 Trash Dog - Wasted Gift C32 $5 The name says it all, annihilated, fucked up, hardcore damage from Witcher, Drip, and Garbage, Iowa City underground punk filth. Manic deranged vocals over primitive punk trash. Includes special bonus addition of the ultra limited and out of print Garbage Eater cass. Killer Double sided fold out cover and mini zine artwork by Ryan Garbes.
	NP039 Social Junk - Champs 08 C41 $5 Met this group of West Virginians down in Miami at INC back in Feb. I was instantly siked on there sound and live show. Total wreckage, throwing drums around the room, yelling into broken mics, four track warble, guitar feedback, totally unhinged damage but focused and intense. Comparisons to Sword Heaven, Savage Republic, The Dead C, etc. might be accurate but overall Social Junk is really hard to pin down. Haunted electronics, floating on an endless barrage of pissed vocals and repetitive drum jams. Silkscreened Artwork by SDREED. Social Junk full length LP coming soon on Not Not Fun. MYSPACE
	NP038 Ryan Garbes - Shit Education C32 $5 Garbes is back at it, blown over saturated tape punk psychosis, harsh head psych fusion rippers, another slab of destroyed rock greatness. This one even more catchy then the last. Like listening to your guts fall out on the floor while some rockers annihilate a house party in the background. Totally a sound of its own, influenced by all the greats with deluxe double sided silkscreened fold out covers by the man himself. MYSPACE
	NP036 Wet Hair - Irifi C20 $5 Wet Hair is the new solo outing of Raccoo-oo-oon member Shawn Reed. Cult vibe organ drone, slowed down tape hiss percussion warble, and chanted vocal bathed in echo, provide the basics for Irifi, a lone march across a desert, these are droney reverberations tinted with pop influence cloaked in the dark , music for  vampires. Recorded by Ryan Garbes for maximal blow out. Expect more from this quickly evolving project soon. Artwork by SDReed.
	NP035 Ryan Garbes - Book $4 Ryan Garbes' first DIY book on Night People. Detailed description coming soon. Samples images: 1 and 2.
	NP034 Evan Miller - S/T C16 $5 Miller is back at it with a new tape for Night-People. This one cuts real deep, Miller at his most epic.  The A side starts things up with deep echo's swimming around cut up tape manipulations, leading into chambers of drone with Miller's characteristic tonal vocals transitioning into a kind of finger picked sentimental raga. The B side offers up a real burner, perhaps Millers best straight acoustic number, a real beautiful complex side that plays between minimalistic somber portions and upbeat workouts. Artwork by SDReed.
	NP033 Raccoo-oo-oon - Mythos Folkways Vol. IV, Future Vision C40 New live Raccoo-oo-oon document, recorded one early Jan. winter afternoon at the Cave of Spirits in Iowa City by Ryan Garbes to stereo cassette deck. A side is groovy future fusion scramble, melodic vocal chants rolling over tight percussion flows that ride like kenetic energy blasting into the atmosphere. B side is blown out guitar burners giving way to dark night ride vibes. In general think about starring out of your sunglasses at the end of the world and thinking this is alright. Artwork by SDReed and RGarbes.
	NP032 Koi Pond - Volcano C61 Koi Pond is a three piece from NYC made up of some generally awesome dudes. Erik Roper plays bass and is a legendary artist/illustrator who does work for numerous bands, labels and publications such as Arthur, Southern Lord etc. while also playing in other bands such as Under Satans Sun and Mattalama. Pete Vogal plays synth while also jamming in Bow Ribbons, and designs arwork for clothes, David Aron plays drums, is the perpetrator for Little Cakes Gallery, used to skateboard alot, makes rad visual artwork, and jams in USUN with Mark Borthwick and Hisham Bharoocha.  Despite these dudes epic resumes, Koi Pond is epic all on its own. Volcano is all about cosmic grooves, deep often minimal, endless repetitions that slowly evolve into more psyched out blissed out trances. Roper and Arons tight rhythmic foundations create the perfect backdrop for Vogal's synth improvisations. This is a meditative listen that never gets old, it just keeps grooving on and on forever. Like Neu covering Dark Magus in a Tibetan Monastery. Artwork by Dave Aron, printing by SDReed. See http://www.myspace.com/koipond3.
	NP031 Pocahaunted - Beast That You Are C30 This Los Angeles based duo needs no introduction, emails have been flowing in about this tape before Night People even had them assembled. Psychedelic sisters of an ancient Californian apocalypse, Pocahuanted call out some hazy echoes over the valley on this tape of blown out guitar jamming, pre-american vocal serenity, and saxophone wash and skronk (provided by Andy Spore). Another killer outing  from this prolific left coast institution. Artwork by SDReed.
	NP029 Subterranean League C15 This one is total damage, psychic vampires spinning around on their heads slathering a bunch of gross cut up pedal wreckage out of maxed out PA's. SL comes straight out of Iowa City's most moist basement corners, anonymous, cult vibe, Asian twins, ready for wreckage. Dynamic, fast, psychedelic harshness, for underground lurking and poisonous raptures of the heart. Re-release of ultra limited Eager Mother cass. Silkscreened artwork by SDReed.
	NP028 Changeling - Beyond the Edge of Dreams C32 Changeling is Roy Tatum, LA based multi-instrumentalist and Buried Valley Cass. Label head, who has spent time in such groups as Black Monk and Quintana Roo, while periodically providing drum duties for other LA bands. Changeling is focused around lush ambient guitar drones that provide a lot of layered feeling in their presence.  "Beyond the Edge of Dreams" has a lot of duality and contrasts in its sounds. Moving from beautiful cascades that evoke ecstatic ponderance and a life spent looking to distant peaks or shores breaks way into persistent smothering washes of synth like uneasiness leaving this listener feeling quite isolated. Either way, this is a rich listen, cinematic and airy, like early Popul Vuh at its most sorrowful. Silkscreened artwork by SDReed.
	NP027 Cooper Jones/Cars - Split C61 This split cassette captures just a little slice of the Manchester/Nottingham/Sheffield area young improv scene.  Got the pleasure of meeting and performing on the same bill with some of these folks back in March and recognized right away that something interesting was brewing there. Total duo action going on with this release, Sophie and Kelly kick out some epic intricate folky guitar action as Cooper Jones, and on the flip side Patrick and Pascal break on some sprawling percussion and drum storms as Cars. Lots of movement here, this is a long document, capturing the flow of what these two groups do. Silkscreened artwork by Ryan Garbage.
	NP026 Nimby - S/T C22 Nimby is Brenden O'Keefe, Iowa City long time resident, local train hopping ripper, and general super enthusiastic supporter of the local weirdo scene.  Nimby as a project is  focused around a home made Tupperware trash bin synth drum kit with some pedals to back it up. This is Nimby's fist release, and features big damaged beats, blasted vocals, and a whole slew of destroyed loops and distortion, totally killer. silkscreened artwork by SDReed.
	NP024 Binges - Flame of the Millenium CD-R Finally a release on Night-People from Raccoo-oo-oon tour mates and Chicago's best basement improv unit Binges. Killer drums, percussion, electronics, saxophone, guitar, and bass from these two dudes Chris and Anthony. Binges are ultra focused and tight, Chris glides around on his kit with supreme precision with Anythony juggles a bunch of loops, noises, and instruments all at once. One of the most solid and exciting underground bands around right now. Artwork by the band printing by SDRreed.
	NP021 The Holy Weave of the Cosmic Dream Vol. II - Drawings by Shawn Reed $4 New drawings by Shawn released this summer just in time for Raccoo-oo-oon's U.S. touring action. Back in print now, with new covers and a few extra pages added. Expect a full color book by Shawn not to far off in the future provided by the fine folks over at Not Not Fun.
	NP014 Heart of Bees $1 HEART OF BEES #6 & #7 New serialized publication featuring xerox image work by Andy Spore. All issues released as NP014 on a quasi-monthly basis.
	NP025 Youth of the Beast - Son Sigil C10 Description coming soon.
	NP023 Pukers - Dead Dog C23 $NO LONGER AVAILABLE New Iowa City hardrock duo Pukers resurrect Yoko Ono and John Bonham only to literally kill them once more. Distorted drums and fucking distorted vocals battle to occupy the same oversaturated space on 1/4 inch tape. The result: catchy tunes, pumping beats, wounded crooning, and a little guest guitar and harmonica to boot. Produced by the golden child: Ryan Garbage. Real deal shit.
	NP022 Chris Cooper Bill Nace Duo - I'm Fucking in a Sitting Room (For Nmperign) C37 Bill Nace (Vampire Belt, X.O.4 etc.) and Chris Cooper (Fat Worm of Error etc.) kick it real dense and noisy on this cassette of Buddies guitar duo action. The Night-People crew got a chance to check these dudes out live in London back in March and where totally inspired and impressed by their feedback-drenched pedal fest, string shredding, approach to complex noise composition, and creation. All sorts of tools are used, all sorts of sounds are generated, but what really makes it stick is the variety and the rhythmic patterns that prevail from quiet to loud throughout. Dynamic, tense, and tenuous guitar slaying.
	NP020 Black Vatican - Zed Omega C38 Black Vatican is Andy Roche and Owen Gardner, two dudes who grew up in Iowa and live in Chicago and Baltimore respectively. Black Vatican jam out some killer tracks on Zed Omega traveling the distance between blown out psych pop, junk garage rock, spaced out synth, and weirdo falsetto harmonies. Zed Omega is a catchy, but destroyed album falling someplace between art pop appropriation and science fiction exploration feeling familiar and classic despite all its noise and weirdness.
	NP019 Evan Miller/Twelve Canons Split C38 On Evan Miller's second release for Night People, he brings out some intimate low key stunners that don't lack on the details and bring out just as much contemplation in the listener while feeling just a little sad in their tune. Iowa City's long time dark folk ramblers Twelve Canons change things up a bit by moving into some lighter territory, referencing the same kind of slightly sad, ecstatic, but light and airy tunes Evan creats on this release. Perfect late night summer time jams.
	NP018 Ryan Garbes - Endless Bummer C17 New garbage from the young musical genious 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 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 $NO LONGER AVAILABLE 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.
	NP013 Raccoo-oo-oon - Mythos Folkways Vol. 3: Divination Night C46 $NO LONGER AVAILABLE New improvisational album cassette release for Raccoo-oo-oon Euro tour. Vinyl pressing available late April from Woodsist.

	NP011 Time Life - Gripstone C22 $NO LONGER AVAILABLE Lucas Non-Horse Crane and Heidi Diehl of the Vanishing Voice have been hashing out some new sounds as the duo Time Life. Heidi�s operatic vocals creep over her guiding repetitive guitar lines, as Lucas builds and pushes to the surface his tape manipulations and altered beats. Sonically realized infinite refracting light, a new set of sounds from two of NYC�s best.
	NP010- Evan Miller- three spells for six string guitar C23 $NO LONGER AVAILABLE Evan Miller is an Iowa City 6-string slinger who grew up in dusty Oklahoma. Over the last couple years he has devoted himself to the craft of his instrument, honing his songwriting and perfecting his playing. He's studied the greats and shows it on this release, with a nod and an ode to the late great John Fahey. Evan toils in the dirt of rural Americana and blues, but keeps his sound fresh and original at the surface. This cassette is just a glimpse of what Evan has up his sleeve, and with his mesmerizing live show and flawless playing, he's just getting started.
	NP009 Mef Teef - Implied Brain-Flex C20 $NO LONGER AVAILABLE Debut transmission from this Iowa City based Free Music group. Rolling piano lines and crisp rhythmic drumming hold the backdrop for trumpet and saxophone spazz and howl. Before you know it everything breaks down into mush before instantly reforming into perfect hard-bop catchiness, swing cheesiness, or carnivalesque creepiness� but only for a measure� and then who knows what comes next.
	NP008 Tent City - Cascade Trinkets CDR $NO LONGER AVAILABLE Tent City are a band of Arizona desert punks, who create organic improvised sets and compositions. Cascade trinkets breaths out some Don Cherry like world jazz fusion, while remaining folky, focused and tight. These 3 tracks move along smooth with a meaty percussive underbelly, and melodic sax lines that bring everything present into focus, reflecting the kind of beautifully dry and sandy cactus country you would envision Tent City living in. Gilgongorecords.com/tentcity
	NP007 Flak Mask - Uncle Henry's Ecco Duplex C30 $NO LONGER AVAILABLE A half hour of new music from this New Orleans based duo featuring members of Impractical Cockpit. Combining impoverished electronics and deconstructed analog instrumentation, grating rhythms meet soothing echos in these long-burning trance-inducers that always leave you wondering, what am I actually listening to here? (For more music by Flak Mask contact: Trd Wrd; PO Box 52096; New Orleans, LA 70152)
	NP006 Dan Friel - Obsoleter C20 $NO LONGER AVAILABLE Obsoleter features the solo work of Dan Friel from Brooklyn's Parts and Labor.
