hey everyone,

 couple new limited releases for you today, including two new tapes and a cd-r that has been a longtime coming.  down to the biz:

ltd13: evening fires "figures of earth" cd-r $8
evening fires is a quartet of pennsylvanians, featuring members of clear spots and nessmuk, as well as the brains behind the deep water acres website & label. they're busy guys, but still found the time last summer and fall to crank out a set of backporch jams and slipstream electric boogaloos. they get help on banjo and mandolin on a few tracks, too, beefing up the downhome goodness.

what really makes "figures of earth" such a stunning album is the diversity that doesn't take away from the overall flow. kraut-infused songs fit seemlessly next to something reminiscent of the black twigs. they don't fight it out, they just keep it mellow and roll on down the way. using an array of instrumentation from guitars, synths, and drums to saxophone, bodhran, and tabla, you get a lot of mileage out of these 47 minutes. the perfect soundtrack to your summer roadtrip. limited to 73 handnumbered copies.  pics & audio: http://www.digitalisindustries.com/ltd13.html 

ltd24: tricorn & queue "hidden entrances" c30 $7 domestic/$9 world
tricorn & queue is one of the centerpieces of the mighty housecraft label. they make drones that are so dreamlike and zoned-out that it's nearly impossible to get anything done. it feels like something from decades ago. "hidden entrances" leads to a world of ghostly remnants, washed in tape hiss and dressed-up in sunkissed colors. everytime i listen to this, i just drift away, making it impossible for me to focus long enough to write something intelligible. god i love this band. limited to 70 handnumbered copies. blue tapes, flourescent pink labels. pics: http://www.digitalisindustries.com/ltd24.html 

ltd26: muura "black & gold butterflies" c45 $7 domestic/$9 world
matt earle is one hell of a magic man. from new south wales in the land of oz, earle has unleashed his own country on his fabulous breakdance the dawn label. there's an endless stream of releases from his various projects (xnobbqx, sun of the seventh sister, muura, the minerals, et al). it never gets old and it never, ever ends.

so, as my obsession with earle's output grew and grew, i had to bring him over an ocean to the land of digitalis. with that i offer the first of numerous bdtd-related releases, this from his main solo guise, muura. "black & gold butterflies" is the bones of the blues. deconstructed and reassembled with spackle and duct tape. each fractured note hangs on by a thread, clinging to a mirage of junkyard dreams. limited to 50 handnumbered copies on yellow tapes. pics & audio: http://www.digitalisindustries.com/ltd26.html
