MT. MOUNTAIN - 'GOLDEN RISE'

Formats

• CFUL110 - LP

Details

Cardinal Fuzz are proud to introduce the outstanding 3rd Long Player for Perth’s Mt. Mountain titled "Golden Rise". Mt Mountain formed in Mid 2012. A Year later they put out their first release, the slow brooding OMED. In 2014 they followed up with their first EP as well as the Chantry/The Villian 7” a few months later.. That same year they played In The Pines and were crowned Breakthrough artist of the year at the WAMi awards. Two More albums followed (and quickly sold out ) Cosmos Terros in 2016 and Dust in 2017. Over that time the Perth quintet have built a formidable reputation - not just for their songcraft, but as one of the most compelling live bands in Australia. A distinction that has seen them share stages with Boris, Sleep and King Glizzard. Their music is both menacing and meditative as tracks play out in harmony/discord and from minimal to maximal over the course of Golden Rise. There are times when the songs are almost gone and just a slow pulse is left, until the spell Is broken and tracks explode into an apocalyptic haze - Something that Mt. Mountain excel in as they create explosions in slow motion. Over the last few years Mt. Mountains have become laurelled and revered by those in the know. With Golden Rise that reputation is ready to explode. Golden Rise is presented in a 350gsm Card Sleeve with Metallic Pantone Printing, Full Colour Inner Sleeve and download code. Sleeve design by Penabranca and layout by Glenn Palmer. 1000 Pressing Worldwide. 450 for Europe.

• CFUL119 - LP

Details

Cardinal Fuzz are proud to introduce the debut solo LP from Alison Cotton titled “All Is Quiet At The Ancient Theatre”. Alison Cotton may be best known as one half of The Left Outsides as well as being a name to be found on many of the finest folk/drone/experimental contemporary recording artists releases via her sonorous Viola playing. So, both Cardinal Fuzz and Feeding Tube Records (U.S.A.) can bring to you via the medium of Vinyl, Alison Cotton’s debut release - “All Is Quiet At The Ancient Theatre” (after 3 sold out runs via Bloxham Tapes). Over 35 minutes Alison Cotton casts you into the most cathartic of states via viola, recorders and lilting Gregorian vocal sighs.

All is quiet in the ancient theatre of eternal music. A 500 Pressing with download code.

SUNFLARE - 'ON'

Formats

• CFUL118 - 2xLPs

  N/A

Details

Cardinal Fuzz are excited to bring to you at last the long awaited Sunflare LP - “ON”. After three previous releases of brain frying high volume pedal to the metal freak-outs Sunflare are at last back to bring some serious brain buzzing primitive punk scorch to a prevailing M.O.R. psych scene in need of some serious face melting. Hailing from Lisboa, Portugal - Sunflare are a scorchin’ power trio specialising in High Energy Psychedelic Speed Freak wipe outs. ON is here to fry minds and with a driving rhythm section that brings new meaning to the word relentless and a guitar player that is perpetually free form feedback soloing over every second committed to wax via the gnarliest of fuzz and wah-wah pedal abuse. Over two sides of vinyl there is never any let up as Sunflare deliver a blazing eruption of ear piercing sound. With ON also comes a second LP of the long out of print “C-30 Red Tape” release (only ever available as a Cassette back in 2010). As soon as you put this on you will see WHY we were so desperate to include this as part of the ON package and commit it to vinyl at long last. If you like High Rise, Comets On Fire and drinking petrol then this is the band and record for you. ON is presented in a 320gsm Wide Spine Card Sleeve and comes with a download code. 130 for Europe

DIRE WOLVES - 'PARADISIACAL MIND'

Formats

• CFUL117 - LP

  BLACK

• CFUL117LE - LP

  COLORED

Details

Cardinal Fuzz are proud to introduce Dire Wolves (Just Exactly Perfect Sisters Band) - Paradisiacal Mind and their tenth (or possibly twelfth) full length since 2008. Dire Wolves put forth a sound of ecstatic improvisation, each member documenting coordinate points in the higher dimensions of cosmic free-rock. The music lies somewhere near the nebulous intersection of psych, kosmische beat and astral jazz. These are exploratory journeys, transportive trance-based experiments in vertical listening, totally collaborative and often forming spontaneous compositions. The focus is more about feeling than any specific approach to playing. Paradisiacal Mind conjures a floating stellular kraut Americano with quite a lot to pull you in to the mix and then drift you right back out again. Following two simultaneous 2017 releases - on Feeding Tube and Beyond Beyond Is Beyond - that explored out-of-body experience, this latest work turns decidedly inward. Psychic rock that guides your vision to heaven, and heaven is in your mind. When cover artist Kyla Quigley asked the band to draw from the tarot to inform her new work, the card was The Star, a renewal of hope and strength to carry on. And so it all came together - acute, right and obtuse, all at once. A portion of the record was recorded in Oakland by Zachary Watkins (Black Spirituals), who helped set the atmosphere to capture the festival consciousness vibes. The remainder was realized on Bernal Hill, celebrating the 50+ year tradition of San Francisco psychedelic

BIVOUAC - 'PEEL SESSIONS AND TUBER (REMASTERED)'

Formats

• TC001 - 2xLPs

  5060446123089

Details

Bivouac did everything a 3-piece alternative rock band from Derby, who grew up on a steady diet of Husker Du, Sonic Youth and The Pixies, could dream of doing in the nineties. They released a string of records on cool indie label Elemental, recorded sessions for John Peel, played with Fugazi and Jesus Lizard, danced onstage with Nirvana, signed to a major label and split up. They’d began in 1992 and were over by 1996, but in that brief period, Bivouac crafted some essential, skewed and fuzzy tuneage that has endured and lingered on the cult fringes of alternative rock, remember fondly by those that were there as the band got on with the rest of their lives. Then in 2016 they returned. It’s all Stewart Lee’s fault. Sometime that year the stand-up comedian, writer and director wrote a Guardian column that mentioned Bivouac. This brief mention was read by the good people who organise Gigantic, the popular nostalgia festival in Manchester who were fans of the band, who promptly asked the band to play that year. “What shall we wear?”, that’s the first thing that drummer Antony Hodkinson said in response to the question of ‘shall we do some gigs after not playing for 20 odd years?’,” explains singer and guitarist Paul Yeadon. “And that was pretty much the spirit of the few shows we played together thereafter! We made a racket (with earplugs this time), celebrated the folly of youth, grown men cried, people travelled from Scandinavia, Europe and America. It was very humbling…we planned a few more.” All of which leads us to 2018, where the band have indeed planned a few more. This year marks the 25th anniversary of ‘Tuber’, their debut album, and to celebrate such an event, this September 7th sees the release of a beautifully presented double vinyl reissue. Remastered by Paul Yeadon himself, the album is coupled with the first official release of the two sessions recorded for John Peel in ’92 and ’94 and issued through the band’s own label Thanks Capitalism in a limited run of 500 copies. “Tuber was recorded on a farm in Warwickshire, we played a lot of golf on the then cutting-edge Sega Megadrive,” remembers Paul. “At this point we had played a lot of shows and still liked one another, we were match fit and well-rehearsed. I think the combination of being confident at what we were doing but still not being really aware of why or what we were doing, (the needless pouring and scab picking would come later) made for a heartfelt and naïve record. Simplistic and uncontrived.” And of the Peel sessions Paul remembers… “We all grew up listening to Peel. It’s a cliché I know but I listened under the bedclothes on an AM radio to his show in the early 80’s. The music he played me then still defines a large percentage of my musical taste. To be part of that legacy is still really humbling, we are very proud to release the Peel sessions. I remember him playing us as I walked across the Reading show grounds, puffing my chest out! He kindly supplied us and our labelmates AC Acoustics with beer from the VIP tent cos we were skint, we did awful radio interviews with him and he had us do three sessions. It really was a dream come true.”
