Following Shapes to the Edge of a Drift [VINYL]

Fritz Welch and Guido Hennebohl present a strange and discomforting album of electronic madness, as they "rattle them pots and pans, slap-the-cheek slurps and stick sharp elbows into a web of goof-off electronics" as they pursue the message of freedom.

"Split open your skull and squirt a spritzer into the froggy mess! Eff-to-the-ArrTee-to-the-Arr are an exciting vibration, a mind-fondle and a floating forefinger pointing to WHAT'S HOT RIGHT NOW! The muscular men here rattle them pots and pans, slap-the-cheek slurps and stick sharp elbows into a web of goof-off electronics. It's all as pungent as double-strength nag champa oil y'hear? You're not surprised to hear Fritz Welch all over this with his egg whisk and luxurious throat cavity. And you'd expect Guido Henneboehl's home-made 'special sauce' stirred into the mix marbling sonics like peanut butter versus jelly. But what keeps you awake in the wee small hours is the deeply knitted message of freedom hidden in these intense black grooves. I said freedom yeah. Freedom and liberty!"-Discombobulate

Re-Ghoster Extended
The Zebra Paradox [VINYL]
(Konnekt)

Expanding the Re-Ghoster trio of Nicolas Field on drums, Thomas Florin on piano, and Valerio Tricoli on revox and electronics with the addition of Nate Wooley on acoustic and amplified trumpet and Fritz Welch's visceral vocal work, the group explores surreal electroacoustic improvisation through dense, transdimensional soundscapes, fractured time, deranged textures, and ritualistic intensity; incredible!

Lambs Gamble
Farewell Body Bags [VINYL]
(Discombobulate)

Bizarre, disruptive, aberrant sound from twisted experts in the field Lambs Gamble, comprised of George Cremaschi on bass & electronics, Fritz Welch on drums, percussion and voice, and Eric Boros (Vialka) on electronics and voice, recording in Switzerland for a fantastic album of intelligent abnormality.

Mutual Process
Untitled [CASSETTE]
(Discombobulate)

A collaboration mixing improvisation with sound & noise from sound artist Adam Denton, working primarily with the slithery tones that live within improvisation, and Sean Cotterill, whose work straddles the ocean of skronk guitar to live programming 'ones' and 'zeros'.

Fossils
A Common Confusion
(Bug Incision Records)

Another slab of basement strangeness from this Hamilton, Ontario-based trio/duo that pivots around sound artist David Payne; a baffling work of sound and noise.

Blanketship
Teen Sounds
(Gigante Sound)

Jared Blum, aka Blanketship, in an eclectic album of strange audio collage, constructed songs with absurd twists in a Negativland or Plunderphonics mold.
