“Hose Nose” – vibey electronic hypno-noise-pop & “Drewgi Siffilitig” – welsh language noise mayhem.

Totally sweet packaging (the collage art on ‘Hose Nose’ came out especially well).

Support the artist and buy

There’s a free download release by The Failed NASA Experiment (the Crispin Glover of psychedelic noise) on our favourite tiny little net-label ‘Foetal Orange‘.

It’s a 35 minute improv/jam called ‘Alegria en Directo’.

The live recording (straight from the desk, no shitty bootleg here) is now available as either a limited to 100 copies c-45 cassette with handmade booklet packaging or super high quality mp3 download (you get a download copy for free if you buy the cassette).

As a special bonus, the mp3 version is only 1 english pence for the next 2 weeks (until April 10th) so get on it.

Video and pictures after the jump.

The Lows and the Highs is open for business. Starting with the (plexus) collective back catalogue of improvised, free music, assemblages; folk/noise/drone conjurings from The Failed NASA Experiment; an early shot of dj_spleenbaby electronics and Rod Warner’s solo divinations in to gospel fueled Warner-tronics (Roderick A Warner) and ‘free step’ (think dub step only free like free jazz) from whitedog.

You can listen to almost everything before digging into your pockets and sourcing some super high quality mp3s or handmade limited run cd-r/cassettes.

Enjoy.
