uuuuuu/robe. split
 

Yes, two of your favorite board butt buddies has decided to combine their best droniest drone to unleash one side of pure darkness and hell drone, and one side of pure brightness and harmonicized, time stretched, decaying light from the prism of the sun. A treat for you all...

This will tentatively be on DREAM ROOT. No cover art yet -- someone feel free to do something.

what? did you not just decide to do this yesterday or something?

or are you both just really fast?

[interesting tidbits for n'ik deleted]

DEREK RULZ

cool.

nice one derek.

i listened to the latest robe album you posted the other day and it was exactly what i needed to hear in the sweltering heat to drown out the noise of healthy happy children playing outside my window. great stuff.

Our next releases will be Forsaken on the noise not music label, a FLESH remaster on dystopiaq (remastered by the guy who masters kate bush and peter gabriel albums!), heavy rebirth on knife in the toaster (old album re-recorded, featuring sounds from kyle's daughter's BIRTH and life), and we're going in the studio this week to do a heavier album... for a secret label :)

Next year going to try to do a 2 or 3 week tour, also going to try to record with Albini.

Thanks for the support nik!

Hope you all like it.

just had a listen to your stuff, it's good. have you ever listened to Windy & Carl?

here's the tentative cover



will look better printed out on shadow black and white paper as a casette insert.

Are you set with that cover? If you want, you could use this.

Haha, that's a really cool cover, actually, we'll use it on the inside...

I figured, Derek, you can fuck with that cover if you want. Kyle scanned his daughter's flower dress and made it black and white. That's the cover so far.

I'm really really proud of this release, I think it turned out beautifully. Great side, Derek! It's like pygmalion era slowdive, as covered by mark mcguire, being played over basinskis of the lid. Kyle and me both think this our best split. I love the part on your side, in the first song, when everything drops out 4:33 in and it just leaves all the harmonic guitar stuff, it almost reminds me of Derek Bailey, how he'd always stop and just hit all these harmonics. Then when the drone comes back in, oh man... Just the idea of an all-harmonics song is really mindblowing. The next track is the most robotrip song ever made! Topnotch guitar playing, Derek -- what are you tuned to?

As for the Robe. side, track 2 has tape recorded sounds of the ocean ran through a pitchshifter.. I also sample the ocean on my sk-1 and play it through some effects in parts.... track 3 is my first and only saxophone playing attempt on a Robe. song. It sounds like a trombone, but notice there's no sliding. It's just a sax pitchshifted, I think I might have time stretched it a bit.

Hope everyone here likes. Slavo, Pauly, Batreleaser, Glice, Dead-Air, al, etc... I know y'all want it!

thanks guys, getting this now.....

I have not, but I'll check em out.Ah! I liked the cover because it was black and white... cause it would make sense to emphasise our "light/dark" theme :)I usually play in standard but first track is drop D and second track is uhhh ACCGG#C I think.

I'm gonna need to put my cumming shorts on for this one.

this is very good!

Oh man I could do you guys fucking something awesome for an album cover.

where is the art installation??
*looks around*

Were you talking to me, Hevusa? If so, here:



I love the the cover art that the label Type have for their releases. Amazing music and amazing covers.
