This is a hidden gem from one of New Zealand's most revered labels Flying Nun Records. We're exclusively premiering the song "Fragments" from the reissue of this album "The EEPP", out on Dark Entries Records on the 23rd May.

Phantom Forth were the brother sister-in-law team of Paul Luker(Guitar, Bass, Vocals), Debbie Luker (Drums, Guitar, Vocals) and Lorraine Steele (Keyboards, Percussion, Vocals). They formed in 1981 in Auckland, New Zealand. Early 1980, Paul had just returned from a nationwide poetry reading tour and bought a bass guitar. He would practice as his brother’s house and Debbie suggested they form a band. Lorraine joined soon after. With a shared love of Young Marble Giants, Wire and Cabaret Voltaire they started to rehearse at LAB Studio.

‘The EEPP’ was recorded in 1983 within a few weeks at Progressive Music Studios. Slated for release in February 1984, the mini-album finally appeared in November on Flying Nun Records. It contained seven moody sketches of Auckland, driven by cold-wave guitars, drummachines, and female vocals. The core recording set up was a Casiotone MT-40, Boss DR-55 Dr. Rhythm, Roland TR-606, bass, guitars and various effects pedals. Paul would EQ each string individually with the parametric, later the combination of chorus and slight delay was added. Lyrically Lorraine and Deb tackle relationships with boys turning into men, escapism, dreams, drugs and reality. Included with this reissue are two early demos recorded at LAB in 1982, made prior to Lorraine joining the band, plus a recording from the Flying Nun live compilation ‘The Last Rumba’.

All songs have been remastered from the original master tapes for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. The vinyl comes housed in sleeve with original artwork collage designed by Paul Lurker.  Each LP includes a two-sided 8.5x11 poster with notes and photos."

Originally a solo project recorded in a wardrobe under the moniker Smooth Dad, Buffet Lunch is the brain burps of Perry O’Bray, embellished by a northerner, a Kiwi and 2 Scots. Namely Luke Moran (Bouviér), Neil Robinson (Mazes), John Muir (Jack Lee Band, DTHPDL) and David MacDonald (Jack Lee Band, DTHPDL). They all met in sunny Edinburgh when Perry moved up from London and put some adverts out for band members on gumtree. Please will you join my band (be my friend), please please please. Perry likes writing songs about slimy snails, moths and other nightly creatures, sometimes in new trousers and trainers. Angular guitars on a bed of seaweed and rhythmic percussion. ‘The Snail EP' will be available as a digital download on Permanent Slump 25/1/19 and on cassette direct from Perry whenever you fancy. Expect a video for 'We All Have Hobbies'.

The Lighthouse At Fisterra

Debut 7" from Melbourne's BANANAGUN !! 

Dim the lights monsieur! Set the table, light the candle! Because its dinner time and Bananagun are cooking up! 

The band has been jamming in the ether for semi-millennia and now the stars have aligned, the current climate calls, the people want to laugh. 

Their debut single>>> “DO-YEAH” 
In a big iron pot about yay big, throw in some spiced djembe, a dash of timbale, x 1 drum beat, plenty of chanting (for the flavour). Throw it in the river bass for 5-10 minutes until golden, sprinkle with some love flakes and your looking good! 

Now flip it over and you have “TOPCAT”. 
Same beat, slightly more bop. Walk beside an alpha male for 25 years, milk (for cat) x 3 horn section, blanch some garlic and ego puree’ serve it hot! 

Bananagun's "Do Yeah" 7" is out February 15th on Anti Fade Records.

Taken from the LP Old Thread (PP40)

Penultimate Press (UK) and Aimless Wander (Australia) present the debut album from Brisbane’s Pious Faults. With ‘Old Thread’ this young Australian group have crafted a remarkably lucid and original vinyl debut. A sonic whirlwind of wonderfully deconstructed hardcore punk - songs stripped of inheritable form; leaping from stone to leaf to puddle in a unique, abstract manner. 

Pious Faults careen through nine tracks on this 45rpm 12", balancing short, disaffected hardcore punk blasts with an experimental urgency, as referenced across tracks like the massive "Worship the Surface". The tense physical interplay between instruments feeds powerfully beneath uninhibited, wonder-full snarls that depict a landscape of the destructive external and a keyhole view into the bruised internal. Experience is exposed here by Pious Faults. Watch on and see no mind tied to its own leap. This record is born solely out of love, amusement & all the motions that follow in their wake.

UK/Australian pressing limited to 100 copies only. Housed in unique hand-made, silkscreen covers using recycled LP jackets. Includes an officeworks printed lyric booklet. 

Tracked & mixed by Luke Walsh. Mastered by Mikey Young.
