Wooly Bully (NO L7)


CARDINAL RECORDS is proud to announce
two new Fossils releases in physical and digital formats
material for both recorded direct to tape december 2013-april 2014
@ mjc hq hamilton, ontario; fossils were Daniel Farr and David Payne

continuing to work with Texas poet Bill Shute and his wonderful Kendra Steiner label
co-released with Middle James Co. we have the "wooly bully" cdr in an edition of merely 40
here's what Bill writes:

So much electronic music or “noise”  is boring or academic or repetitive or stupid or pretentious—-it lacks the FEELING and EMOTION and SENSE OF PLAY WITH INFINITE POSSIBILITY that initially got me excited about feedback/white-noise/electronics/noise-improv. Thankfully, FOSSILS are around to keep it raw and real and witty and abrasive and fresh and spontaneous and ever-evolving. Remember Wile E. Coyote always trying to blow up the Road Runner with various ACME explosive products? WOOLY BULLY is the free-improv/noise/DIY electronics version of Looney Tunes Acme products….AND SO MUCH MORE.  It’s like a musical version of a Stan Brakhage film but on steroids and with banana peels on the floor of the editing room. FOSSILS are the reigning kings of sly DIY industrial noise free-improv. Therefore, we at KSE are proud to announce that we have partnered with Middle James Co. of Ontario, Canada for this VERY limited Fossils release: a stunner of a CDR album, with a total of 40 copies made, 20 copies (odd numbers) available from Middle James Co/Cardinal Records and 20 copies (even numbers) available from KSE.

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]
