CARD11 FOSSILS ...death

Cardinal Records is proud to present

CARD11 FOSSILS ‘preliminary sketches of death’ 7-INCH LATHE + CDR

Recorded July 11 2013 at MJC HQ in Hamilton, Ontario, this is another weird addition to the Farr/Payne duo catalogue.  These hand-cut lathes bring Fossils even lower into the depths of lo-fi. Deconstruct all notions of fidelity in this cracked static landscape. Tho birthed during summer sizzle these sounds are ice cold... almost dead.

The two sides of the lathe were cut from a 10-minute improvisation included in it's entirety on a bonus cdr.  The disc contains 30 minutes of sounds from the sameday session.

Lathes cut by Graham Baldwin at 2208

CARD10 FOSSILS major tenth 10 inch lathe




Cardinal Records is proud to present
CARD10 FOSSILS ‘major tenth’ 10-inch lathe + zine
We are very happy to bring you this one-of-a-kind release.
Fossils began in 2005 under the leadership of David Payne.  A revolving team of improvisers comprised the goof troop during the earliest stages.  In 2008, Daniel Farr entered the equation and quickly become a key player. By the end of 2010, Farr and Payne were the two central characters of the band, creating a powerful duo of dark weird experimental sound forever forging into the beyond.
‘major tenth’ is an aquatic adventure that bubbles burns to the surface and churns without purpose.  Hiss and piss springs acrobat strings. Summoned dust devils come swirling on slow cardboard horses chasing UFO tones.
GET IT AND GET WET!
Each copy has an original black ink-work by Payne pasted to the cover.
Each copy also includes a multi-paged folded/stapled black and white zine that features reproductions of all 10 cover images used for the release.
Lathes cut by Graham Baldwin at 2208
Limited to 10 copies
[CARD10 IS NOW SOLD OUT]

DOOMED FOSSILS




Cardinal Records is proud to present
co-release with Snapped in Half

CARD9/SIHT33 DOOMED FOSSILS 7-inch lathe + cdr

Fossils were Daniel Farr, David Payne and Alex Pearson.
Farr/Payne duo are pleased to be working with Pearson –
an Eastern Canadian noise monster who has been blasting faces as D/A A/D
and curator of the excellent Snapped in Half label since 1997.
 
Pearson’s analogue modular synthesizers paired with dismantled guitars and mishandled records
births a creep creation that is DOOMED FOSSILS. Awkward and ecstatic.

The release includes a cdr which present both sides of the lathe as well as two additional lengthy pieces.

review and news


Continuing to blast 2013 there have been some nice words written by Frans de Waard about CARD7

FOSSILS - PATIENCE (7" lathe cut + CDR by Cardinal Records)
Even when the esthetic side of Fossils is perhaps a bit too lo-fi for me, after all their recent releases its easy (easier) to spot a trend among them. Their music is also something that slowly dawns upon me as something quite nice. With each new release I seem to be enjoying it more and more. Here we have two items in one package, and perhaps also released as one thing? The lathe cut vinyl comes in an edition of just twenty-five copies and contains a live recording of Fossils as a trio (opposed to the usual duo material) in Albany, New York and features guitar, percussion and saxophone. All of these are examined and inspected for their various sonorous qualities of scraping and hitting, dragging them over the floors, and the saxophone blowing a mild free jazz tune. Extreme stuff, but not so much for the noise side of these things, or the somewhat very direct recording, up close to the instruments, but the controlled nature of the playing is what makes this quite good. There is no sudden outburst of violence or aggression, but a carefully interaction between three free spirited musicians. Excellent stuff.
 http://www.vitalweekly.net/869.html

We now only have 1 copy in stock.

CARD8 should also see light very soon. It's a collaborative effort between Fossils duo Farr/Payne & Graham Lambkin.
To be released as 7" lathe in an edition of 50 copies featuring artwork by Lambkin (image above).

CARD7 FOSSILS "patience"



CARDINAL RECORDS PRESENTS

CARD7 FOSSILS “PATIENCE” 7-inch lathe

Fossils were Nathaniel Brennan, Daniel Farr and David Payne.
“Patience” contains cuts (no overdubs) from a live performance recorded November 3 2012 at Upstate Artists Guild in Albany, New York.
We realize some men are thoroughly bad-intentioned, that no amount of patience will make any difference.
This is not a broken record but a tribute to AA & GNR.

live clips of the performance can be viewed here:

lathes cut by Graham at 2208

covers hand-screened and numbered on cardstock
w/pasted color photos on cover
cover photo by Mike Griffin

***this release comes with a bonus CDR that includes the entire unedited performance.

25 numbered copies
$15 + shipping
