C.3.3. (TEST DEPT.) - 'Ballad of Reading Gaol - The Cacophonietta' CD (CSR256CD)

C.3.3. is a personal project from Paul Jamrozy, co-founder of original industrial agitators TEST DEPT.. 

The work is inspired by the real life experience of Her Majesty’s Prison Reading. Tracing the history of the location through to the present current political and social situation, evoking the harsh realities of Victorian and modern day Britain. 

Reminiscent of the finest mid-era TEST DEPT., such as "Gododdin" or "Pax Britannica", with heavy percussion, strings, and strident vocals. 

The title C.3.3. is drawn from the cell number where the literary figure Oscar Wilde was incarcerated in Reading Gaol under gross indecency charges. C.3.3. was the pseudonym used for the publication "The Ballad of Reading Gaol", a poem based on the execution of a fellow inmate. 

This sonic rendition draws upon the writings of Wilde’s poem and the horrors of prison life for a condemned man, as a metaphor for the universal predicament of all humankind. 

Remastered with 2 bonus tracks, featuring TEST DEPT. and presented in a 6-panel digipak.

Cosmic Strip - Heavenly

Brother, the bodies are falling again
the days drag and the sunlight is no one's friend
I write my life hour to hour, unsorted as ever
but I can't help but pick you up

Brother, so much history in your head
You've been all around but now your eyes are dim
The shrapnel, death, and the bombs and you still carried on
But you can't look me in the face

Brother, you're sailing black seas again
You're in the city where nothing is forbidden
The ghost wanders abound while the chill of secrecy clouds
but you can't bear to leave the house

Brother, we'll count and bury the dead
Like two birds on fire who can be forgiven
I'll crash my plane into yours and we'll go down together
and hope we never go back

Too far gone
are we just too far gone
how I thought we could call the shots
now we're just too far gone

she is, she is getting on so fine

kids on bikes, ones about to cry 
scraped his knee but now the blood is dry 

now she’s at the pool 
says shes far too tired to

but he can’t be jeopardized

she sees everything
he wants to feel nothing

offsprings of something more
Who tend to get ignored

come to live to life
grown to sacrifice

numb to the sight
of pain and of the fights

they are in their room
theyre feeling all in tune

blinds drown
television on 
oh man life is such a yawn

now look on the news 
there has to be a death or two

bombs gas happening fast 
dear god all on broadcast

offsprings of something more
Who tend to get ignored

come to live to life
grown to sacrifice

numb to the sight

Biography
London trio Value Void are an offbeat proposition. A sui generis bolt from nowhere, their debut album Sentimental (due out in October on Tough Love) is a collection of luxuriantly deep, shag pile-warm, analogue proto-punk. Paz Maddio and Marta Zabala grew up with each other in Azul, a small town south of Buenos Aires, where the seeds of this project were sown. They collaborate in the same way that Elton John and Bernie Taupin wrote songs, with Marta penning lyrics then taking them to Paz to spin them in to music. 

Marta first came to London on tour with the super-slanted art punks Los Cripis, where she met Luke Tristram (of Cop, Score and Owner) who released their record via his Unwork label. Paz followed to join them and scrape rent from the city's bars and cafes.  

By early 2017 the three of them were holed up in practice rooms, Luke adding Evens-esque basslines that laid concrete to their minimalist guitar-lead pop songs. Originally as WVS, they started playing shows with bands that had once orbited the tiny Power Lunches venue in Hackney and, since its death, were now to be found on bills at DIY Space, New River Studios and other dusty successors of its autonomous, cheap drink, creative-friendly spirit. In common with bands like Shopping, rudimentary surroundings and resources fed into nonetheless ambitious, hooky work. Songs such as “Teen For Him,” a self-effacing lark importing strains of Leslie Gore and the Velvets; the minimal, Guided by Voices-reminiscent chug of “Bariloche” and “Cupids Bow,” an up tempo, Breeders-esque standout, were lynch pins of a pummeling, inspired set.

In April of that year, they recorded with Euan Hinshelwood of Young Husband at the studio TVT, in an overlooked corner the other side of Blackheath, tucked under giant knots of flyover on the way to Charlton in South East London.

The intention was casual but the results, seven dazzlingly assured songs nailed in a couple of days, sucked attention from several quarters as they skipped between hard drives. They secured a tour with Frankie Cosmos and signed to London label Tough Love, who released the single “Back In The Day” in May 2018.

Upon deciding to flesh the songs out for a full length, they returned to TVT studios with Euan in April this year, tweaking the mix and laying down two new songs: “Mind,” a down tempo lullaby/lament in which the band track into the territory of early St. Vincent, Grouper or Julianna Barwick, supported by a raw dirge that blossoms in feedback, and “The Deluge,” which is also reflective but structured by a roaming curiosity and big chorus seeking road movie oblivion. 

The album is instantly affecting, with an ease and clarity that suits the elegance of the lyrics: coded love songs and cool reflections on life which are all the more vulnerable and touching sung in Paz Maddio's lilting, ultrachromatic voice - a ceramic-sharp diagonal transatlantic on a pure open tone, with subtle waves of vibrato at its top end. It's a particular heart breaker on tracks such as “Babeland” and “Dead Ladies Lament”.

Restricted to a palette of drums, bass, guitar and double tracked vocals caught on 2" tape, coloured here and there with a daub of feedback or a passage of ground-shifting tape delay, this is the sort of thing that gets called “stripped back”. It speaks to the powerful understatement at the heart of their style, but it fails to capture the crafty, delicate, taught and spaced-out ride Value Void subject you to: a species of NY proto-punk and Californian post-hardcore born miraculously from London's piss swilling street level like religious icons in toast.

Following her acclaimed debut album ‘Penelope One’ for Optimo Music in 2017 and ahead of sophomore long player ‘Penelope Two,’ London based antipodean vocalist, musician and soundscaper Penelope Trappes here makes her track ‘Carry Me' available to stream or download.

Despite its dark and dramatic funereal march, lyrically ‘Carry Me’ is positive, exploring a subliminal knowingness that love is the only guide through a chaotic and sometimes painful life.

Originally from the Northern Rivers of NSW, Australia before moving to New York and developing experimental electronic projects Locke and Priscilla Sharp, plus her best-known incarnation with partner Stephen – The Golden Filter. 

Under the latter moniker the duo released albums with Brille, Vinyl Factory and Optimo that were praised by The FADER, Pitchfork, NME, Gorilla Vs Bear and Resident Advisor. Additional endeavours included sound-tracking short films and feature films.

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.
