KEVIN SHIELDS
The Death of Patience . CD
US/Canada: $10.00 / WORLD: $16.00
paypal, mp3: http://deathbombarc.com/releases/dba079.htm
(co-release w/ emr & entropic tarot)
-------------------------------------------------------------
First true full-length solo effort from Eva Aguila, aka Kevin Shields. The pieces on this release focus on various combinations of function generator, omni-chord, and a homemade mechanical device. Sheer cliffs of feedback ice, throbbing and grinding gear distortions, and angelic digital bursts slowly cancel each other out... creating additives that are neither impatient nor dead. Here Eva shows how much her sound has developed through extensive touring of both the US and Europe, with recordings made all over the world (from France & Belgium to her home in Los Angeles). An epic with sounds to surprise even the most dedicated of Kevin Shields fans.
Member of Gang Wizard. Previous releases on RRR, Weird Forest, & EMR.

TIK///TIK
An Early Winter . CDr
available only on US tour w/ Kevin Shields & Realicide
mp3: http://deathbombarc.com/releases/dba080.htm
--------------------------------------------------------
This special, US tour only CDr collects all of tik///tik's releases on Deathbomb onto one disc. Why? Because tik///tik is going to be out there, exploring America and making new friends, and it would be just plain rude to expect them to buy a ton of different comps and shit just to hear everything. But that is also why this release is only available to people who come out and support! Of course, if you like in the Czech Republic it is a little unreasonable that you could make it to a show, so those living far from the tour should write about how to become a special pen-pal style friend and get a copy of this.
The disc collects everything from the unrelenting World War Zero track to the beat static of Fruit Will Rot 3 to the Sea Door tracks that gave some hippies the wrong idea! Even includes the tape club track and the Captain Ahab remix! EVERYTHING.
NOTE - If you live further than 30 miles from any show, please email us to make arrangements for purchase.

Thrash Sabbatical
THURSTON MOOORE / MEN WHO CAN'T LOVE / KEVIN SHILEDS / BARRABARRACUDA . 4-way split 12" + 2x7"
US/Canada: $16.00 / WORLD: $26.00
paypal: http://deathbombarc.com/releases/dba069.htm
---------------------------------------------------------
An elaborate box-set of vinyl, pairing Thurston Moore 3 times with a selection of amazing Los Angeles acts. Box set will include equaly amazing art designed/curated by Britt & Amanda of Not Not Fun.
Thurston Moore (you know the dude, he is in Sonic Youth) contributes music that ranges from beautiful acoustic guitar work to fierce noise and charging thud rhythms.
Men Who Can't Love is the gang of young LA noise dudes that do the tag team thing like it is the ultimate party. They share the 12" w/ Moore, and hit you over and over with the tagteam efforts of Solitary Hunter, Impregnable, Moth Drakula, Haircut Mountain Transit, Toxic Loincloth, & Privy Seals.
Barrabarracuda are the much more friendly sort, but welcome at the same party. Featuring Grace of Foot Village and Amanda of Pochahaunted on fireworks... erm drums and vocals, plus Britt of Robedoor on guitar and Nichole of Child Pornography on keyboard. Their split 7" w/ Moore is definitly the most melodic of the bunch.
Kevin Shields (here as Eva Aguila of Gang Wizard & Amy V of Yuma Nora) fuses searing walls of aluminum with angelic harmonies for a tension that evokes pure joy. Their split 7" with Moore is matched with equal amounts joy and angelicism, but in soothing rather than tense manner.
FYI - This was sent to manufacture yesterday, so prob an Aug release date. PreSales will be sent out just before released. Price will also be slightly raised once announced.
