The world is an ugly place. Baltimore noise-gaze industrial punk trio UGLY TWIN  formed during the pandemic around a high volume love of damaged punk, shoegaze and industrial music. In their contaminated practice space they birthed a chemical mutant on the crystal skeleton of an industrial drum machine where Rob Savillo's contorted repetitive riffs and searing melodies act as a parasitic muscle group alongside with the hammering assault of Jenny Andrzejewski's bass nervous system and topped with Matt Buie's muffled paranoid vocals that sound like the skin of this creature they can't control. This creature opens its maw as a hybrid chameleon of Brainbombs, My Bloody Valentine, (early) Uniform, Big Black, Bodychoke, and Negative Approach that haunts the train tracks looking into stagnant pools of oil for a glimmer of its pure self. 

Featuring members of The Holy Circle, Silk Leash and ex-members of Xetas and (Birth)Defects.

Composed by all three members of LOCRIAN; END TERRAIN ADDENDUM VOLUME 3:"Silence in the Sediment" is a collaborative mutation of field recordings from the time after extinction. Over the years each band member individually collected sounds from nature, machines, radio transmissions, derelict locations, nature preserves, vacant sites and electromagnetic fields on various analog and digital devices. After examination each track was shared and edited to generate "Silence in the Sediment". This limited release further expands the sound world of their album END TERRAIN.

>>Non-Site_Audio_Documentation<< collects field recordings from each LOCRIAN member to construct a soundscape of the world of END TERRAIN. Corresponding to each of the album's nine tracks and run times, simultaneous play is encouraged for  the opening of further potentiality.

SIDE A: LOCRIAN "Solar Lodge" 04:29
SIDE B: JONATHAN SNIPES "Solar Lodge (Remix)" 03:57

The EP consists of Locrian’s re-imagination of Coil’s “Solar Lodge” along with a remix of Locrian’s version of the track by Jonathan Snipes (.clipping)

André Foisy of Locrian commented: “In 2022, we started looking back to the roots of our project, specifically our mutual interest in experimental, avant-garde, and ambient music. This examination of our foundation as a group led us back to our shared respect for Coil in how they expanded sonic boundaries and explored unconventional themes. From 2014 through the last time we played live in 2016, we closed our live sets with a cover version of “Solar Lodge.” Last year, we recorded our take on that track, a song that alludes to the Coil’s interest in exploring hidden dimensions of consciousness.”

Jonathan Snipes is a composer and sound designer for film and theater living in Los Angeles. He occasionally teaches sound design in the theater department at UCLA, and is a member of the rap group Clipping.

SENSORY OVERLORD is the solo synth project created by Logan Terkelsen from Curse. Formed in Baltimore in 2024, Sensory Overlord is dark, evocative and meant for deep listening. It is adjacent to many dungeons but as ascendant as the synthwave of Zombi or soft vibrations of classic kosmiche. It remains difficult to classify while still having moments of aural familiarity. The project is inspired by soundtracks, classic and contemporary synth music, extreme metal interludes and dungeon synth alike.

RIYL: Kitaro, Vangelis (or Blade Runner OST), Ulver, Summoning and John Carpenter

With an essay by Oliver Ackerman (A Place to Bury Strangers / Death By Audio)

"Alcian Blue was one of the most incredible live bands that you probably never saw but if you had would have changed your life." - Oliver Ackerman (A Place to Bury Strangers / Death By Audio)

ALCIAN BLUE never received the attention they deserved. Starting in 1998, a few years too late for the original wave of shoegaze and ending in 2006, a few years too early for the newer wave. I first witnessed them playing shows together with my band Unlucky Atlas and was immediately smitten with their intensity; loud, psychedelic, punishing pop owing as much to the Cure as Jesus and Mary Chain - but heavier. Live they flooded the stage with projections and the room with high decibels. Of course that they weren't alone and along with their friends Skywave, (which formed Ceremony and A Place to Bury Strangers) they ushered in a period of intense noisy shoegaze. However, it was ALCIAN BLUE that made me think this kind of music still held vitality at that crucial point in time and could be simultaneously caustic and beautiful. (Terence)

Compiles five EPs: Fall Behind, Silvers Sleep Walk, Angelica Take Me Down, Translucent and Years Too Late
