The Goodwillies (ARM022) - "Phantom Hearts" this document is guaranteed to burst your brain and turn your blood to wine. Enfer Boreal (ARM023) - "Continents Perdus" - thick meaty slabs of silence and wintery hiss, mixed with hefty doses of splintering distortion. A thing of pure beauty. and "Our Chaos" - the split collaboration series (featuring collabs between such artists as Stone Baby, Richard Skelton (of Sustain/Release fame), Magicicada, (VxPxC), Rob Funkhouser, and Pulgh) with the House of Alchemy Eventually - Releases from Magicicada/Attics, Cahier, Slow Listener, Astronovaz, Thousands, (VxPxC), Fantastic Sleep and more |
| ARM 007 - Rob Funkhouser - "Allegory of the Cave" cd-r "Allegory of the Cave" is the first release of this young lad from the Midwest and it is pretty stunning in its minimalist appeal.. Layering piano and organ in long icy runs, Rob adds in bells and light percussion to create a shimmering ambient piece over 35 minutes long. For fans of Eno, Tim Hecker, and, of course, other fine Phantom Limb recordings. 7 dollars postpaid US 9 dollars postpaid outside US |
| ARM 009 - Cahier (Orchestra) - "Ciudad" cd-r Marko of FInland has been making music for a long time (with releases on Foxglove, Cut Hand and Sloow Tapes) But he has never made a collection of sounds as brutal and intense at this yet. Phantom Limb is honored to release this truly epic set of sonic mayhem, blasted rhythms and blurred soundscapes. Glitched out bliss from across the sea! 7 dollars postpaid US 9 dollars postpaid outside US |
| ARM 011 - Bjerga/Iversen - "Drawn to the light, like moths to a flame" cd-r First group that I wanted to release a cd-r for that wasn't friends of mine... and now I have the chance... And "Drawn to the light" is a doozy. One monumental track of hiss and spark and growing tension, a vector dance through the eye of a needle or an eye of the hurricane. If you know these two mens' work, then you will realize this is essential... If you don't, this is a damn fine place to start. 7 dollars postpaid US 9 dollars postpaid outside US |
| LEG 001 - Fantastic Sleep - "New Master" c54 cassette Recorded on the two most harrowing days of the year (Halloween and Tax Day), this cassette documents the on-going assault on boring drone music. Created by Ged Gengras (Fantastic Ego, Antique Brothers, and Thousands) and Grant Capes (Sleepwalkers Local 242, (VxPxC), and Thousands), this sounds like none of that... OR this sounds like all of that mixed together and shot through broken subwoofers, chewed on by an electric dog and then shat out onto a landmine! For fans of Sunroof!, Birchville Cat Motel, and Neil Diamond (ok, maybe not Neil Diamond, but something just as evil!) 5 dollars postpaid US 7 dollars postpaid outside US |

| ARM 008 - Stone Baby - "Broken Wings and Bandages" cd-r A massive follow-up to an already stunning House of Alchemy cd-r, upstate New York's finest chamber noise ensemble returns with a harrowing audio document. Cutting their teeth on live shows and changing up their instrumentation for each track, this is the most diverse Stone Baby release to date, bringing to mind their peers; Grouper, Loren Chasse, and Birchville Cat Motel. 7 dollars postpaid US 9 dollars postpaid outside US |
| ARM 012 - Century Plants - "Fingers" cd-r Another upstate New York free-form group (must be something in the water?), Century Plants' two members hail from Albany and lay down some heavily crazed guitar action on this release (their second one). Featuring members of Burnt Hills, Century Plants have crafted a diverse world out of just three tracks, showing a complexity only outweighed by the passion that created it. For fans of Loren Mazzacane Conners or Lee Ranaldo... guitars that don't always sound like guitars. Hallelujah! 7 dollars postpaid US 9 dollars postpaid outside US |
| ARM 014 - 6Majik9 - "Rubber God Head" cd-r From the musical collective broadcasting Terracid, Brothers of the Occult Sisterhood, and other celestial craziness comes the majikal sounds of 6Majik9. Channelling Coltrane through a cracked mirror image of the No-Neck Blues Band, the music of "Rubber God Head' is a new form of world music, a world of not just distance and space, but of time and past and future. Take the lysergic rollercoaster ride on this monumental track and keep a look out for their work on many other labels this summer and beyond. 7 dollars postpaid US 9 dollars postpaid outside US |
| ARM 013 / CR150 - Entente Cordiale - "the recognition of common interests" CD A split release with Carbon Records, who describe this pro-manufactured CD release succinctly as "nearly 48 minutes of sometimes sparce, sometimes dense, guitar work by this trio consisting of Will Veeder (Hinkley, Torpedoes, formerly of Muler), Chris Reeg (Blood and Bone Orchestra, Crush the Junta, Ian Downey is Famous, DvsC, Ada le O, The Years) and Joe Tunis (Joe+N, Crush the Junta, Tuurd, SQ, DvsC, Ada le O, formerly of Hilkka and Pengo). other instrumentation includes heavy synth, droney melodica and homemade pipe chimes. co-released by Phantom Limb Recordings. [packaged in a heavy vinyl sleeve with pro-printed card-stock cover] 7 dollars postpaid US 9 dollars postpaid outside US |
| ARM 019 - Ghost Brames / Przewalski's Horse- "mædømptile malaxaste / "Ronny, This is for you"" cd-r The most amazing part about releasing music is the chance to meet musicians and creators from around the world. Here we have a release of material by France's Ghost Brames of the Cerf and Belgium's Przewalski's Horse. Two heavy sets, almost better suited for a vinyl release, but in this case, one doesn't need to choose a side. Both of these woozy cataclysmic jams are SIDE A! These slabs of plastic are going to fly out quick, as we attempt to flood the EU with their insane sounds. Pro printed covers in a thick vinyl sleeve. 7 dollars postpaid US 9 dollars postpaid outside US |
| ARM 016 - Fantastic Ego - "The River is Down" 3" cd-r His second release for Phantom Limb, Ged Gengras' Fantastic Ego worked with our inventory of available blank cd-rs and thankfully gave us a treasure chest of amazing material, shrunk into a thimble of digital data. What this little monster lacks in diameter, it makes up for in sheer psych experimentalism and a potent addition of haunting nostalgia. Expect the things you liked about Fantastic Ego (either solo or with Antique Brothers or Fantastic Sleep), but add to that some things you never knew you missed before (like exotic strings and tribal drums). Bound to disappear during the Autumn Antique Brothers Northeast tour, get yours quick. 4 dollars postpaid US 6 dollars postpaid outside US |
| ARM 017 - Grandma Larkey - "The Grand Malarkey" cd-r These guys rule! Take the forces of Nanopop and Insect Mind Burial Ground and mash them into a fine lysergic broth. Add tectonic chunks of deep drone and hectic fuzz. Mix liberally with indignant rage at the raping of nature by man's industry, and top it all off with a healthy dose of cynical humor. What you have is a recipe for the Grand Malarkey, a reckless and inventive slab of noise art, a testament to skull-flowering everywhere. 7 dollars postpaid US 9 dollars postpaid outside US |
| ARM 018 - Warm Climate - "Circle Dub / Regrettable Form" cd-r Never judge a book by its cover. A simple adage, but very appropriate in this case. Warm Climate's Seth Kasselman might not seem like the most forceful and intense guy, but this orchestrator of chaos has created one of the most brutal works of music to date. "Circle Dub / Regrettable Form" is a concerto in 3 parts for the noise set, taking clarinets and shimmering guitars and laying them alongside found sound and heavy doses of raging deep static. A profound and mind-altering experience, to be sure. A massive release for us, our first cardboard gatefold with artqwork wrapped around. 7 dollars postpaid US 9 dollars postpaid outside US |
| ARM 021- Metal Rouge - "Eulogy for Keeler" cd-r Sometimes the roses grow close to home, right outside your window. We in Los Angeles are proud to have this phenomenal duo making their triumphant and terrifying tones in our backyard. Andrew Scott and Helga Fassonaki are true creators of sonic thickness, merging razor strings with buzzing overdriven fuzz, but also laying back to a deep silence and imaginary pulses. "Eulogy for Keeler" is a document of their trip to the American desert and the ghost towns within. It is a photograph taken with these phantoms, an interview with the forgotten and voiceless dead. Stamped image on a folded arrigato pack. 7 dollars postpaid US 9 dollars postpaid outside US |
