CRB020
A Split EP between Leeds-based noise/post-punk artist Feral and Zurich-based Drone Pop artist Debutante, containing three noisy tracks about gender dysphoria. Blending glitch, slowcore and post-punk elements with moaned and damaged vocals,
the EP goes from feelings of uncertain melancholy to raw anger and back and has been compared to Coil, Giles Corey or Ben Frost.
“It will turn a healthy person into one with black bagged eyes and a pale unhealthy skin;
perfect for if that is the look and feel that you wanted to go for!” – Yeah I Know it Sucks

CRB017 – preorder ready
Coming 25.08.2017
Woeful Silence and Euphrasia, soloprojects by members of Forlet Sires and Rue des Cascades, team up for a split release.
After a long time of planning and adjusting, it will finally be released on August 25th, 2017, available as a very limited tape edition (50 pieces), as well as digital download. The artwork and layout was arranged by D. Brumana, man behind Woeful Silence. The front cover shows a beautiful old screen print of a mine in the Swiss alps.
Both projects continue their musical paths from earlier releases: while Woeful Silence clearly pursues a more traditional approach to the atmospheric kind of black metal, the songs of Euphrasia dig even deeper into nearby subgenres, such as Drone and Doom. Despite the differences in songwriting, the music of both projects often complements each other and results in a thoroughly coherent split EP.

CRB016 – preorder up now
The releases just keep coming this Summer, we announce another limited cassette:
Aleph/Twin by THOMAS GRENZEBACH features the composer’s two EPs, that have been released both this year. It is a 60-minute, transparent cassette limited to 30 copies.
Release date: 06 August 2017
THOMAS GRENZEBACH has made his online debut just the beginning of this year.
The artist, living near Zurich, has uploaded his first EP “Aleph” on Bandcamp quietly, without hesitation. His unpersonal approach, leaving lots of information about himself unclear, and the solid compositions, that have added another brick to the very small wall of existing Swiss experimental music, are the things that left us curious.
April saw the sequel of his work, with the EP “Twin”. The musical development brings forth the adding of subtle beats and an overall intensivied focus on experimental composition, rather then pure drone/ambient soundscapes.
Tracklist:
Side A – Aleph
1. Flux 08:43
2. ghost8 02:24
3. Otu 05:53
4. Desert Empire 10:19
Side B – Twin

2. Alternative Fact 04:11
3. ghost12 05:32
4. Sphere/Dissappointer 17:37
