Miserylab is the main music project of Porl King, formed in the late nineties after the disbanding of Rosetta Stone in 1998. From Leeds, Liverpool. (Post-Punk, Cold Wave)
 
In 2005 King created a profile on MySpace, reworking and uploading some of his early miserylab material. In 2007 four of these tracks were made available as a free download, complete with downloadable artwork, known as the Vaporware EP.

It has taken over four very active years for the people behind the Finders Keepers label family to finally return to what we still consider to be one of our favourite vinyl projects. The ongoing Disposable Music library subscription series is a series which pools some of the best emotive, comprehensive, previously unavailable instrumental music from the unmarked archives of experimental artists within the expanding Finders Keepers family and presents it as a series of limited uniformed archival vinyl discs. Like all the most influential library music labels on the 60s, 70s and 80s the music from DiM is sourced, compiled and produced catering to the requirements of the film, television and radio industries but as the interest in thematic instrumental 'picture music' seep deeper into the record collector psyche these limited multi-purpose discs are naturally recommended for whichever creative application you see fit. Each disc combines two full musical programmes sourced from both vintage archives and new exclusive recordings by contemporary artists specially paired to compliment the individual musical sensibilities and mutual affection.

This time Disposable Music are proud to bring you metronomic jazz made for the Swiss cheese information board; wind synth music designed for planetariums; possessed pastoral mechanical folklore sounds; primitive electric organ sci-fi music; Spaghetti Western themes for Scandinavian fashion shows; drum machine music for household appliances; unused Polish detective theme tunes; Gallic dreamscapes for graveyard dates; mouthorgan music for mutants; Eastern street music field studies, and a selection of commercially unreleased tracks that have been recycled from French and American horror soundtracks, short-run TV ads, one-off radio programmes and educational science programmes. Having learned, enjoyed and expanded since the first run of DiM we are very excited to unleash this custom collection to your ever expanding music tastes.

It’s clear that each recording of the latest volume of Disposable Music stands up on its own merit as well as complimenting the previously released volume. Like any library series there is no ideal place to start but at www.finderskeepersrecords.com we'd like to offer a limited number of subscription places to secure the next five records before they are distributed via our usual networks. With unlimited entry to the archives belonging to names like Ciani, Spoerri, Rollin, Epple, Korzynski and Massey, Disposable Music have taken the best in unadulterated, underexposed and unattached mood music and given these homeless compositions a place, purpose and time to thrive.

Following one of the most requested titles on the first Disposable Music collection Sam Mcloughlin and Alison Cooper’s Supernatural Lancashire 2 brings a wide selection of self-made acoustic and electronic instruments to their Northern rehearsal room to blend semi-improvised melody and syncopated mechanical folk - evoking sonic images of bygone rural industry, religious corruption, hallucinogenic medicines, scenes from classic pastoral UK horror films and cautionary European fakelore. Composing the type of instrumental music that simply does not exist outside of a theatrical or cinematic brief the self-initiated and tightly twisted music of Supernatural Lancashire comes from a genuine creative place which is rarely explored with such beguiling results within the oft blinkered parameters of modern handmade music.

The FKOF review:
"The organic elements that evolve around the introduction are of evil magnitude, slowly metamorphosising into a somewhat devilish stepper. After a short silence, teeth-grinding mid-ranges look to crush the listener's organs at the drop, while the pitched low-frequency-oscillators get a chance of rumbling some ear drums. 

"Understated resonance adds texture to the insanity projected through almost ghoul-like life forms that pass through the sound field. An arsenal of samples follow, while cowbells and other interesting percussion emerge. The elements give this track a nicely placed dancehall-like vibe for a short moment, just before the 'Vultures' take to the sky to search for more corpses to feast on. Clerk's tune is an evil celebration of our 666th upload and we hope it'll be remembered."

 “Glowering electronica that takes a purposeful steer to the dark side. Essence of Berliner Bowie and sombre Siouxsie. The sound and the vision are powerfully conjoined." (BBC - Across The Line - Track of the Day)

VIDEO EXCLUSIVE

SIAMESE is a ceremonial magic audio-visual created in response to a visually powerful mutual lucid and reoccurring dream still happening amongst two very close friends. A mutual vision where two female friends would lure each other or be led by an unexplained force into a burning forest which would then engulf them into flames.

A dark premonition. The communication of two minds via a shared reoccurring dream. A visual representation of female solidarity and empowerment. The power of occultist ceremonial magic.

SIAMESE

A new dark wave trill jam. Experiments in monster style.

-Info-

In Death It Ends appearing from nowhere via their YouTube channel “▲TV” on new years eve 2011. The facebook page INDΣΔ†HI†ΣNDϟ appeared to suggest this was some kind of ‘comeback’: A number of albums and cassette releases that appeared to date back as far as 1969. This of course is probably untrue, but many love to play along.

For In Death It Ends is a black mass of contradictions. Combining post-punk guitar and bass with ‘witch house’ iconography. Drum machine beat and loop repetition with drone and euphoric energy. Inappropriately large reverbs with analog echoes, satanic chants and monosynths before casting it all aside and descending into lo-fi oceanic distant murmurings. First creating the micro-genre “Progressive Occult Hipstercore” before discarding it for “Progressive Occult Ghost-Wave” for these things are short lived and there are surely new places to explore.

Six months into their existence, in June 2012 the Berlin based label specialising in cassette tapes Aufnahme und Wiedergabe release In Death It Ends first album, “Forgotten Knowledge“, a limited edition of 100 copies that sell out within two hours of the pre-order announcement. (The album ”Forgotten Knowledge” is due for a reissue on October 12th with pre-orders starting on the 1st October). Some two months later, in August 2012 a self-released CDr “Restorative Art EP” is completed. A slightly more indulgent and downbeat release, limited to just 50 copies. (It sells out within ten minutes of the product release going live). Following on from this, Aufnahme und Wiedergabe announce their first vinyl release [a+w lp001] it will be In Death It Ends 2nd album “Occvlt Machine” scheduled for release in January 2013. In October Aufname und Wiedergabe will re-release the first “Velvet Condom” EP on cassette. It will include a remix of the classic track “Kalter Lippenstift” that has been produced by In Death It Ends. For more details, please click here.

And so to now, TSM are set to release “Manifestations”, a six-track 12″ EP limited edition containing tracks picked by the team at TSM: five of the best from “Forgotten Knowledge” and one track from the “Restorative Art EP“. The launch is scheduled for November 2012. Stay tuned!

“The trio have burned a lot of the haze off their sound (and some of the
ear-bleeding volume), in favor of more melody and danceability, albeit in a
gothy '80s kind of way.” - Brooklyn Vegan

“Weekend kiss the curb with their new single, “Mirror”. It’s a promising
jig for Jinx.” - Consequence of Sound

“Note those bells and whistles, folks...not to say the deeper into Jinx we
travel the noise won't greet us with a screeching wail we've come to
expect, keeping those plugs at arm's length, but Weekend is not hiding in
the feedback.” - Impose Magazine

"All the subtlety of a high-pressure firehose...a dour, post-punk
atmosphere that goes for immersion rather than force." - Pitchfork

“Ominous razor-sharp textures enrapture, "Mirror" foretells the future of
Weekend, where gloom and pandemonium is a joyous return.” - Prefix

“It's steamy post-punk with a circular bass attack leading the way over
galloping drums...[Weekend’s] trademark guitar-pile assault.” - Rcrd Lbl

“Craftsmanlike post-punk” - Stereogum
