What a hell of way to ring in the new year – even if this wasn’t a Field Hymns release it still would be one of our favorite albums of the past year – just waiting to put it out has been agony… so without further ado – check out EYES, the fucking harbinger of awesome.

Just a quick note before the holidays - the field hymns shop will be closed from 12/15 - 12/27 whilst we chase some real winter for the holidays, far away from stamps and padded envelopes. Super stoked for a new year full of music to lay on all y'all though! Talk very soon...

The Streets Were Paved With Circuit Boards is the sound of John Carpenter making hip-hop instrumentals for long, sweaty nights - a sound from the era when a man had a better chance of getting knifed in Times Square than finding Gelato....drum machines and old synths barrel down alleys thick with grime and groove, where police and disco lights beat in tandem and the dirty beats sluggishly refuse to die... come and get it!

We are pleased as punch to release Boron's Aria Statica, which you can get right here. What is Aria Statica? Ahem: "Corroded channels, dull firefly blankets of energy, the birthing of subterranean mountains…this is the beat and pulse of the guts of the earth." Sound awesome? IT IS.
Also in the shop we finally have cassettes of Adderall Canyonly's The Ascension of St. Diamond - both of these fine albums are available each at the low, low price of $8 shipped - happy June!

Coming next month (I swear) the cassette drought ceases - first will be Boron's Aria Statica, then the self-titled White Glove, followed by Oxykitten's The Streets Were Paved with Circuit Boards.

Hello all! A manufacturing glitch has interrupted our "release a month" schedule - the plant has run out of clear cases for the cassettes. I don't know about you, but we don't particularily care for black plastic occluding our art! So we are in a holding pattern until sweet, clear plastic from the cosomos decends. But that does not mean we have not been busy - coming up are two releases by Adderall Canyonly (one is a physical release of the popular St. Diamond and the Battles of Oxtest, the other a new album titled It Was A Dark and Stoney Night. Also coming is a new release by Boron titled Aria Statica and the new one by Oxykitten called The Streets Were Paved With Circuit Boards. Thanks for your support!

The soundtrack from a 1983 action movie that never got made (think Bronson in a remake of THEY LIVE) is now dusted off and spit-shined, ready for purchase via download only.

EYES - A Candle in the Crown of the Dawn An astute observer will recognize within the first seconds of the crackling drums that open A Candle in the Crown of the Dawn that this record is supercharged, blown out and stripped down. With the intensity of Black Mountain soaring over a splashing, hypnotic rhythm section, EYES bypass to the center, to a place beyond knowledge, beyond rock, where human batteries are charged by a Dionysus crystal, where the shimmering organs read your mind, and the sun and shadow voices dwell.

Zac Nelson - Towards Your Own Worlds Maybe it's a bad idea to start a description of a piece of music by admitting you don't know how to describe it. But we'll be honest with you: this album synthesizes so much of our taste that it's like trying to describe the taste of water to a fish. Part crooning electro-pop, part drone, half found-sound and all unique, "Towards Your Own Worlds" from this deliciously prolific artist is a remarkable achievement in both the abstract and the tangible.

Garth Steel Klippert's - Korgoleum is intended to function for the listener as literally as a building material (plywood, steel, or tile) functions for the builder. The name suggests a product akin to flooring, made of Korg. It is not organic, it is not analog, it is not natural. It is the bespoke product of a musical artisan whose personal choices determine its one-of-a-kind sonic texture. It can be fabricated by any qualified artisan with the proper equipment. It is intended to be used by the listener as-is, for whatever purpose the listener decides. It can be cut into pieces, manipulated into other forms, bought, sold, distributed, and re-sold, just like any other building material. It can also be looked at and listened to, all by itself. With Korgoleum, you do whatever you want with it.

Mattress - Lonely Souls The Machine is ragged and greasy as it plunges through a hellish night thick with angst and sin. The Cadillac roars towards the dawn, gritty and loose, pushing the moist, dense air aside like a dirty curtain yet the sun never rises and we keep circling, circling, somewhere, in wide long ellipses through the night - the speakers shudder as the bass throbs and oily synths stab and all we can hear after hours and hours of this music - like a cross between Suicide and Cotton Mather - is that your salvation is nonexistent and that you will be alone, like everyone else.

White Glove is hazy sunsets over scraped and sunburned knees, the freedom of tortured, ugly youth and the anger of the perpetually misunderstood. It is the heat of the day caught in empty swimming pools as bodies soar and plunge on bearings baked dry by the SoCal sun. It is the loneliness of the unpopular stretched like a skin over wet asphalt and tight with warm gin. It is the breath of a neighborhood thick with both kin & enemies from a hollow place that still feels like home. Like early JFA, Sebadoh & Gangrene played by the most sensitive motherfucker in California, White Glove is the sound from your basement, circa Summer 1987.

Aria Statica is corroded channels, dull firefly blankets of energy, the birthing of subterranean mountains…this is the beat and pulse of the guts of the earth. Through the din of a thousand different machinations we hear brief snatches of calm as the pins align and then slide slowly back, drifting into cacophony. We walk through the swarm, the ebb and flow makes the shape of our bodies as we trail sparks; pinpricks of amber that twinkle and fade in the dark behind us.

Asuuna is another voyage from exile; shimmering highs and foxlight guide the celestial tides towards a calm pitched with fractures, as if seen through a dirty lens - the force is beckoning and irresistible and we walk and walk and walk towards the inevitable dawn - though the day lengthens without any appreciable movement we are bold in our quickening steps which ring like dropped glass, shattering like rain...

It Was A Dark And Stoney Night is taken from two years of musical meanderings of analog synth jams and 80's action movie filled nightmares.

Vroom-Psycho is an album by Hammer of Hathor - a group comprising two-thirds of an organism family. What shapes does our music create? How do the soundwaves change as they age? What would they sound like 75 light years away? We like to play old instruments, things well designed by humans to make interesting sounds. These instruments are often quite beautiful to look at and touch. We make recordings onto magnetic tape wrapped around spinning reels, which add their own music to our music. These things are also well designed and are pleasing to the eye and to the hand. We wish there was a word in English to describe the pleasure of doing work with a well-made tool.

Recorded mostly on a modular Moog III-P that’s the size of a room - and one of only 4 operating in the world - Boron’s sonic glacier passes through one ear and out the other, wiping clean all impure thoughts.

Music For Taxicabs was recorded over the course of three years by a cab driver living in a San Francisco office building. Rife with audio collage, dirty saxophone, cheap organ and a dash of lunacy, Music For Taxicabs is truly a lost legend. Now living in Portland, Oregon, Klippert now plays in the bands Old Light and Old Heat. Ten years after its completion, Field Hymns is proud to release Music for Taxicabs.

Toucht is the brainchild of Bob Coctostin, middlewest mob-dance legend (and of Adderall Canyonly). Retro and ridiculous, this music rocks analog synth, drum machine & vocoder just like the way it used to be.

Fists of Dayton! is the soundtrack from a 1983 action movie that never got made (think Bronson in a remake of THEY LIVE). Recorded with vintage synths and old broken drum machines via reel to reel, this music is a throwback to a much different and sadly brief cinematic world. Created with hints of Harold Faltermeyer and glued together with a hesher senibility, this is an odd soundtrack indeed. This also is the inagural release of a seminal Field Hymns player, Adderall Canyonly, and a shape of moments to come.

The Unbearable Being of Likeness is Mike Coykendall's second album. If you have heard of him you probably know him from his association with M.Ward, She & Him, Richmond Fontaine & Blitzen Trapper, the bands he has engineered, produced and performed with over recent years. It gets overlooked that he has a songwriting, performing, record-making history dating back to the mid 80's. Midwesterners might remember Kansas prairie-psych legends Klyde Konnor (available only here); americana fans might remember the seminal San Francisco group The Old Joe Clarks; and a lucky few will have copies of the 2005 underground classic Hello, Hello, Hello.

Public Hammock - Blending heart-on-sleeve honesty, pissed-off political rhetoric, and occasionally heady language, Chores's first full-length album, the subtle politics of the Public Hammock, rocks hard and weird, infusing a uniquely arty sprawl with ramshackle energy that careens between genres while retaining the basic elements of rock, pop, and noise. The album hurtles like a pinball through 45 minutes of anger, whimsy, regret, and joy.

Hello Hello Hello - Mike Coykendall has put out over 15 albums of all original music since 1986. Starting with Kansas psych-trio Klyde Konnor through San Francisco's Old Joe Clarks and their haunting Americana chamber music. Coykendall continues to mix and evolve into new territory and now presents perhaps his most adventurous record to date "hello hello hello." Playing the majority of the instruments himself and recording it in his home studio on the off days between working with other artists such as M. Ward, Tin Hat Trio, Beth Orton, etc., this is is the work of an obsessed, hap-hazard, perfectionist at the end of his rope. Care to dangle?

MATTRESS
"As slowly as Lonely Souls will sneak up on your senses, it will quickly rattle you around and leave you spent at the end. Just thank whatever God you pray to that it is only 25 minutes long. Any more, and you might not make it out alive." - ROBERT HAM, WILLAMETTE WEEK
"The album in general plays out like this, with Marshall swirling in repetitive pastiches of tripped out effects and non-linear songwriting. At times the album is tensely brooding, at other times hypnotic and hallucinatory; the strained synths and sonorous vocals occasionally mixing together with an oil/water effect, ensuring Lonely Souls is a record as surreal as it is striking." - CHARLIE SWANSON, PORTLAND MERCURY
MIKE COYKENDALL
"It’s a weird, wonderful and (not surprisingly) inventively engineered disc that will hopefully find its way into the hands of a few daring music fans based solely on the company Coykendall keeps." - BOB HAM, PAMPLEMOOSE
"Regardless where you file him, The Unbearable Being of Likeness, Coykendall's latest, is a solid collection of exceptionally assembled songs from a singer/songwriter who takes great pride in his craft." - EZRA ACE CARAEFF, PORTLAND MERCURY
"On his new album, Coykendall's lo-fi pop sound covers territory ranging from psychedelia to folk to bluesy Americana in a brief but efficient 33 minutes that's consistently surprising and often fantastic. With highlights like the trippy haze of "Spacebaker Blues" and the alt-country balladry of "First Shot, Best Shot," he offers a generous amount of subtle yet impressive pop hooks and quirky, introspective songwriting that makes this record an enjoyably and genuinely unique experience." - CHEWING GUM FOR THE EARS
"Mike Coykendall is an accomplished musician, player, engineer and producer. Very creative, and he keeps surprising you, with his unique songwriting, arrangements and instrumentation. It was impossible for me to listen to his record while doing something else. It required my attention constantly, and even now, after quite few times I have listened to the whole record, I still find it awesome." - LOFILES.ORG
"The Unbearable Being of Likeness offers a diversity of sounds, from mellow ditties to melodic rockers. Coykendall’s compositions share something with Jay Farrar’s campfire comfortability, but his work in the studio mastering the songs adds layers to the album, making it a much spacier, more nuanced affair." - LEFTOVER CHEESE
"...this weird, trippy record shows a talented musician stepping out into the spotlight to give us a (slight) glimpse of what makes him tick." - DAGGERZINE

HAMMER OF HATHOR
"If Vroom-Psycho only consisted of opener "Mt. Tabor" and the equally stunning "Invincible Armour" it would still stand as one of the best recordings of 2010." - Ryan H., Tome to the Weather Machine
"...it's krautrock down to a science, utilizing its influences in the best way possible. Hammer of Hathor have the ability to keep a listener wide-eyed, regardless of the duration or chasteness. From its sparse ventures to its cascading explorations, Vroom-Psycho possesses a mesmerizing nature within its spacious arrangements." - Olive Music
"Overall, listening to “Vroom-Psycho” is like quitting smoking: you get that edgy, nervous feel of despair, anger and frustration, all focused here into instrumental chaos. Sometimes there’s pleasure in this kind of pain, like chewing on the inside of your cheek or stretching your back in hopes of getting that one final crack – a sigh, a moment of release that may never come. Hammer of Hathor finds a horrifying beauty in impatience" - Crawford Philleo, Foxy Digitalis
GARTH STEEL KLIPPERT
"Who knew that I’d end up with the best episode of Taxicab Confessions ever put on a little box." - Michael Mannheimer, WWEEK
"There’s an awareness throughout this experience that cannot be ignored. It makes sense of a blurred landscape, slowed down just enough to make the details come through. But it never commits totally to the listener, as it seems very much an introverted album. Though it is never closed off too much for the listener to feel close, if only for a moment. Not to beat a dead horse, but let’s just say you’re definitely a passenger for this cab ride, and it’s well worth the fare." - THIS HEART WILL BURN RIGHT OUT
"...even without knowing Klippert as a person or musically, Music For Taxicabs functions as a window into the mind of a cab driver that is as telling as it is relatively timeless; with its old synthesizers, horns and disorienting percussion, it could have been produced in Travis Bickle's tenure just as easily as it was made in Klippert's. Unlike Eno's Airports, this isn't a third-person contribution to society. It comes off as a frank and often freaky self-portrait that, rather than being labeled experimental or progressive, could be filed under psychological." - SPECTRUM CULTURE
CHORES
"The band's first EP, "Life Is Hard," is a bruising, bluesy affair reminiscent of the bar-band intrigues of the Hold Steady and the sunburned punk of X. The interplay of Pierce's fuzzy rhythm guitar lines with Thomas' ringing lead work is wonderful enough on its own, but it is augmented in often surprising ways by the snakey work of bassist Eric Mellor." -the Oregonian
"Chores’ debut EP, Life is Hard, sounds kind of like a debut EP. For every promising harmony and inventive guitar twist, there’s a first-draft lyric or clichéd Rolling Stones-style lick. In some towns, Chores’ finer points—the instrumentation sounds great and Chores’ complete lack of pretension is downright charming—would be enough to make them the best pop outfit going, but here in Portland the band’s pop blends all to easily into the background. If Chores can perfect the balancing act between keeping its music fun and throwing a bit of lyrical-emotional substance into the mix, you’ll find me front and center." -the Willamette Week
OXYKITTEN
"Definite contender for party jam tape of the year, odds are a bunch of these songs will end up on summer fun mix tapes, or get blasted at full volume from car stereos, or at the very least, get pumped through those headphones, rollerskates, parachute pants and satin jackets optional. Bright red cassette, full color eye popping covers, and a download code for those of you who no longer sport that walkman clipped to your belt..." - Aquarius Records review of TOUCHT
ADDERALL CANYONLY
"
Dark and Stoney jumps all over the place like a game a twister; a right arm on green, a left leg on yellow, and a forehead on red. It’s every nerd wet dream wrapped in a rolling paper and smoked with a group of likeminded dweebs. As hip-hop continues to shed some of its chains for quips about Sega Genesis, skateboarding, and comics, so goes the DIY community that dared to only allude to particular facets of nerd culture. Adderall Canyonly stuffs ‘em all into his beaten up backpack, judiciously unpacking one at a time as mood dictates."- Jspicer TMT
"Canyonly does something here that is antiquated yet unique in the now, as well as interesting in a melancholy sense, capturing the quirky roar of the analog, the tick-tock leftover rhythms from the disco era, and the paranoia that was felt a lifetime ago. So what if the placement lies in Dayton, these sounds can be a result of any schlocky situation or input into your daily routine to make up your own ‘80s movie masterpiece. Fists Of Dayton! is all about letting the imagination go." - ZAPTOWN

CHORES
ALBUMS
Public Hammock - Blending heart-on-sleeve honesty, pissed-off political rhetoric, and occasionally heady language, Chores's first full-length album, the subtle politics of the Public Hammock, rocks hard and weird, infusing a uniquely arty sprawl with ramshackle energy that careens between genres while retaining the basic elements of rock, pop, and noise. The album hurtles like a pinball through 45 minutes of anger, whimsy, regret, and joy.

Life is Hard - Chore's first EP is all-inclusive with gang-style vocals via both testosterone and estrogen-laden chords, lyrics honed for your intellect, lots of guitars, and maybe just a little moxie. Perfect listening after a hard day at work.

A Candle in the Crown of the Dawn An astute observer will recognize within the first seconds of the crackling drums that open A Candle in the Crown of the Dawn that this record is supercharged, blown out and stripped down. With the intensity of Black Mountain soaring over a splashing, hypnotic rhythm section, EYES bypass to the center, to a place beyond knowledge, beyond rock, where human batteries are charged by a Dionysus crystal, where the shimmering organs read your mind, and the sun and shadow voices dwell.

GARTH STEEL KIPPERT
ALBUMS
Korgoleum is a 33:33 improvisational drone in C by Garth Steel Klippert
Equipment: Korg Microkorg digital synthesizer
- The construction job site is a meditative space. The creative process of building can be stimulated by "music" that is still "under construction."
In 1917, Erik Satie coined the term Musique D'ameublement, or "Furniture Music." The term describes music as a component in a physical environment rather than as an object of attention. John Cage championed this view, and faithfully performed many of Satie's compositions. In the 1970s, the departure from thinking of music as strictly "art for its own sake" (or for the sake of the artist's ego) begat Brian Eno's Ambient music. It also, with the help of technology, begat Muzak--the safe, beige backdrop for shopping environments and elevators. Muzak, incidentally, employs its own force of skilled contractors to install their equipment--it is literally "installed music". With the advent of subsequent technological advances, human beings have been able to experience a perpetual soundtrack to their own lives (if they so desire). Over the last four or five decades, sound installation has emerged as a viable and important form of public sculpture--viz. The Audium, San Francisco (1967), Brian Eno's Music For Airports, LaGuardia Marine terminal, New York City (1980), and La Monte Young's Dreamhouse, New York City (1992), to name just a few.
It is my intention to take this concept of "music as environment" one degree further into the abstract, and to make music that is not only a component in an environment, but is in fact a raw material to be used in the construction of an environment. "Korgoleum" is intended to function for the listener as literally as a building material (plywood, steel, or tile) functions for the builder. The name suggests a product akin to flooring, made of Korg. It is not organic, it is not analog, it is not natural. It is the bespoke product of a musical artisan whose personal choices determine its one-of-a-kind sonic texture. It can be fabricated by any qualified artisan with the proper equipment. It is intended to be used by the listener as-is, for whatever purpose the listener decides. It can be cut into pieces, manipulated into other forms, bought, sold, distributed, and re-sold, just like any other building material. It can also be looked at and listened to, all by itself. With Korgoleum, you do whatever you want with it.
To me, it's music for drywall.

Between 1997 and 2000, Garth Steel Klippert lived in a 10' x 10' office at 1005 Market St., Ste. 309, San Francisco, upstairs from the world-famous grease-firetrap Vietnamese restaurant Tu Lan. During that time, Klippert worked nights as a cab driver, spending his days making art and recording music with two flea-market microphones on a Tascam 424 and a Macintosh Quadra. Inspired by Brian Eno's watershed album, "Music For Airports," Klippert experimented with unusual recording techniques to produce layered assemblages of sound. In direct opposition to Eno's objective, public art approach, however, Klippert instead drew upon recordings he made surreptitiously while driving the cab; creating a subjective, narrative portrait of his state of mind.
Over a period of three months, he auditioned his rough mixes on the unsuspecting, playing them on the taxi's cassette player. Only once did a passenger confront Klippert, accusing him of forcing the world to listen to his music.
Some of the instruments used on the album are: Yamaha CP-30 electronic piano, Kay archtop guitar, Casio MT-68, Klippert's grandfather's baritone saxophone, circular saw blades, pot lids, leather shoes, plastic toy pump-action shotgun, and samples from over 60 hours of recordings of night-shift cab rides.
"The Murko" is the only selection recorded separately from the rest. It was recorded in New Orleans in 1996, at 3034 N. Rampart St., 9th Ward. Klippert shared the house with Stefan Jecusco (of Portland bands The Dickel Brothers, Ging Gang, and Nitebrite).
Klippert plays a homemade "trumpophone" (trumpet modified with alto saxophone mouthpiece), and Jecusco plays bass. Andy Hervey played bass clarinet, and John Finkbeiner played double-reed drinking straw. Jecusco engineered the session using an SM-58 microphone, a Tapco 6 channel mixer built in reverb into a hi-speed Tascam 424 and a Yamaha rack-mount analog delay unit, both of which he dismantled and completely rebuilt, following their total submersion in a flood that had occurred two months prior to the recording. The session was recorded to dmx type cassette that was dumpstered in Austin, TX by John Henry Kelly of Static Static and was recorded over previous Robitussin-fueled sessions."
Currently, Klippert plays in Old Light . Old Light's full length album, The Dirty Future, is out on Portland label Arena Rock Records.

Klyde Konnor was a Midwestern three piece prarie-psych band based out of Wichita, KS circa 1985 – 1991. The name was a re-spelling of a neighbor’s name who always came over to ask them to stop playing. An agreement was arrived at where they could play on Saturday afternoons from 1 until 4PM. This was when the wife had her hair done. So, it was on those afternoons that Klyde tracked the louder parts of the initial band recordings. In 1986 some of these recordings were receiving airplay on college radio and Klyde was asked to perform at a fundraiser from the local college/community radio station “KMUW” and in particular for that stations “After Midnight” program which played “underground” music (pre the term “alternative”). This required putting a band together. Original members Mike Coykendall (main songwriter, singer, guitaris) and Tim Heuback (songwriter / bassist) joined with Cameron Gourley (drummer / singer). This was the first live version of Klyde Konnor. This line-up recorded a single “What’s She Doin’ with Him” in 1985 and a full length cassette release titled “The Weaker the Stronger.” These early recordings owe a lot to the sound of early REM, the Byrds, the Rain Parade, and the Psychedelic Furs.
In 1986 or so… Heuback left the group to be a good father and husband. Coykendall and Gourley found a new member in Ron Smith. Coykendall and Smith hit it off as they’d each never met another musician that could jam on Syd Barrett songs. There was much interest in Klyde during this time and in mid-1987 they went into a professional recording studio and did a record on good pro equipment titled “I Always Forget.” This record is spotty and a little too pro / safe / pop. It’s long been Coykendall’s least favorite. Soon after, with the further incorporation of the more rocking and experimental Smith the band took a turn towards more outlandish and noisy freak-outs. Sometimes these excursions were welcomed sometimes they were at the crowd’s dismay. Klyde went from being written up as the “best band in Kansas” by the Wichita Eagle and Beacon in1986 to being voted “worst live band” in 1988 by the Gopher Purge music magazine. The band decided to release these more challenging experiments under the alter-ego of “The Tanglebrains.” Same band with differing levels of discipline applied. By 1989 they were finding their own original voice and had jelled as a band into something unpredictable but still enjoyable. The band released the highly acclaimed “Wallpaper” in 1989. In 1990 they upped the anti with the release of the ambitious double cassette release “Hypnopatamus.” To date, this is the only Klyde record that has been made available digitally.
In late 1991 the day after playing their last official show the group quickly (in one day) recorded “When Worlds Klyde.” Coykendall then re-located to San Francisco where he stared anew and formed the folk / Americana group The Old Joe Clarks.
Klyde’s members stay in contact and have had several reunion concerts over the years. Just for the fun of it…always for the fun of it.

Toucht is the brainchild of Bob Coctostin, middlewest mob-dance legend (and of Adderall Canyonly). Retro and ridiculous, this music rocks analog synth, drum machine & vocoder just like the way it used to be.

MIKE COYKENDALL
ALBUMS
The Unbearable Being of Likeness is Mike Coykendall's second album. If you have heard of him you probably know him from his association with M.Ward, She & Him, Richmond Fontaine & Blitzen Trapper, the bands he has engineered, produced and performed with over recent years. It gets overlooked that he has a songwriting, performing, record-making history dating back to the mid 80's. Midwesterners might remember Kansas prairie-psych legends Klyde Konnor (available only here); americana fans might remember the seminal San Francisco group The Old Joe Clarks; and a lucky few will have copies of the 2005 underground classic Hello, Hello, Hello.$11
..........................................................................................................................
Hello Hello Hello Mike Coykendall has put out over 15 albums of all original music since 1986. Starting with Kansas psych-trio Klyde Konnor through San Francisco's Old Joe Clarks and their haunting Americana chamber music. Coykendall continues to mix and evolve into new territory and now presents perhaps his most adventurous record to date "hello hello hello." Playing the majority of the instruments himself and recording it in his home studio on the off days between working with other artists such as M. Ward, Tin Hat Trio, Beth Orton, etc., this is is the work of an obsessed, hap-hazard, perfectionist at the end of his rope. Care to dangle?

It Was A Dark And Stoney Night is taken from two years of musical meanderings of analog synth jams and 80's action movie filled nightmares. We don't know what to think of it but we absolutely love it.

Fists of Dayton! is the soundtrack from a 1983 action movie that never got made (think Bronson in a remake of THEY LIVE). Recorded with vintage synths and old broken drum machines via reel to reel, this music is a throwback to a much different and sadly brief cinematic world. Created with hints of Harold Faltermeyer and glued together with a hesher senibility, this is an odd soundtrack indeed. This also is the inagural release of a seminal Field Hymns player, Adderall Canyonly, and a shape of moments to come.

HAMMER OF HATHOR
ALBUMS
Vroom-Psycho is an album by Hammer of Hathor - a group comprising two-thirds of an organism family. What shapes does our music create? How do the soundwaves change as they age? What would they sound like 75 light years away? We like to play old instruments, things well designed by humans to make interesting sounds. These instruments are often quite beautiful to look at and touch. We make recordings onto magnetic tape wrapped around spinning reels, which add their own music to our music. These things are also well designed and are pleasing to the eye and to the hand. We wish there was a word in English to describe the pleasure of doing work with a well-made tool.Limited edition of 100 pro-dubbed & imprinted cassettes w/ download

Towards Your Own Worlds - Maybe it's a bad idea to start a description of a piece of music by admitting you don't know how to describe it. But we'll be honest with you: this album synthesizes so much of our taste that it's like trying to describe the taste of water to a fish. Part crooning electro-pop, part drone, half found-sound and all unique, "Towards Your Own Worlds" from this deliciously prolific artist is a remarkable achievement in both the abstract and the tangible.

WHITE GLOVE
ALBUMS
White Glove is a tape that is fueled by a man with a few days off a week, a new acoustic guitar built by a friend, a bunch of ideas, some beer and a four track cassette recorder. That man is Tim Wenzel. He likes to write music that is poppy, light-hearted and "fun" to listen to. Recording a song immediately after it's been written captures a real, unpolished sound that cannot be duplicated ever again. With songs like "Skate Heaven", "Trust Fund Kids" and "Pink Eye Blues" you're sure to bob your head and get a chuckle. The songs are quick, the recordings are dirty, the lyrics are audible and everything is tight.Tim has been involved in playing music in Portland, OR for ten years, most notably with Shicky Gnarowitz and Yes, Father. White Glove is an offshoot of both those bands. Tim is very pleased to be able to put this tape out on Field Hymns and assures you personally that even if you don't like it you probably won't dislike it.

The Machine is ragged and greasy as it plunges through a hellish night thick with angst and sin. The Cadillac roars towards the dawn, gritty and loose, pushing the moist, dense air aside like a dirty curtain yet the sun never rises and we keep circling, circling, somewhere, in wide long ellipses through the night - the speakers shudder as the bass throbs and oily synths stab and all we can hear after hours and hours of this music - like a cross between Suicide and Cotton Mather - is that your salvation is nonexistent and that you will be alone, like everyone else.Limited edition of 100 pro-dubbed & imprinted cassettes w/ download
