Rural Highway (After Hopper)

+DOG+: Rural Highway (After Hopper) (Love Earth Music)

+DOG+ constructs sprawling, immersive noise landscapes across four extended pieces that juxtapose dense textural layering, dynamic distortion, and live improvisational intensity with shifting durations and visceral energy, capturing both studio-crafted depth and raw performance as the MA experimental project expands the boundaries of glitch-inflected sonic exploration and immersive audiovisual abstraction.

Philadelphia sound performer Gladys Nobriga's Street Rat project brings a raw solo noise document to Love Earth Music, with four 2025 studio pieces and a closing live recording from Calvary Center, using DIY electronics, object-based sound, physical gesture and abrasive texture to shape a stark, tactile and confrontational album of pressure, decay, rupture and aftermath.

The Garden [VINYL]
(Love Earth Music)
A new solo work from Steve Davis's long-running +DOG+ project, recorded in Sudbury, Massachusetts across 2025 and 2026, continuing the Love Earth Music founder's exploration of experimental noise, drones, abrasion and collage-like electronics in a raw sound environment where distortion, density and unstable resonance bloom into a tangled, immersive field of sonic growth and decay.

III
(Love Earth Music)
The third electronics-only collaboration from Cleveland sound artist Jim Szudy and Steve Davis' +DOG+ unfolds as ten compact-to-extended pieces of industrial drone, electroacoustic noise, distortion, scrape and low-frequency pressure, continuing +Felladog+'s harsh but carefully shaped language of rusted texture, buried signal, abrupt rupture, and immersive sonic decay.
Dysmorfic +DOG+
To The Usual Atomic Rhetoric Vol. 1
(Love Earth Music)
Italian avant-grind duo Dysmorfic pair Davide Buccedi's volatile drumming with Tom Conte's fretted and fretless bass, then fold in Steve Davis' +DOG+ electronics for five compact assaults where grindcore velocity, prog-jazz dislocation and harsh ambient noise collide, turning riffs into unstable events and brief tracks into dense, abrasive miniatures of rhythm, texture, tension, resistance, and rupture.
Unsub
Misprision

The cross-coastal duo of Los Angeles experimental artist FETUSK on guitar, drones, keys, bass, beats and screams with Massachusetts synthesist Steven Davis, recorded between The Womb and MDP Studios in 2025, creating six volatile works of industrial drone, damaged electronics, guitar abrasion, buried rhythm and dark ambient pressure for a dense, confrontational and immersive Love Earth Music release.
Autophagia
Communicate
(Love Earth Music)
The solo noise project of Noah Jerge, also associated with the power-electronics project Mindcrawler, Autophagia turns communication into overload on this Love Earth Music release, using harsh electronics, damaged signal, feedback, density, and physical pressure to create a raw California underground statement where speech collapses into rupture and amplified confrontation.
+D:A+
III
(Love Earth Music)
Dan Greenwood and Steve Davis fuse noise-driven textures and unpredictable sonic collisions into an uncompromising experimental work on III, channeling their rooted DIY and extreme aesthetics into fractured soundworlds that confront, unsettle, and expand the boundaries of underground audio exploration.

II
(Love Earth Music)
The second collaboration between Steve Davis and Jim Fellahean Szudy, recorded in 2025 and unfolding across fifteen carefully shaped tracks that move fluidly between droning loops, harsh noise, hypnotic textures, and death-ambient atmospheres, with each piece functioning as a self-contained narrative while contributing to a cohesive, emotionally charged whole of sustained intensity.
Fortrexx (Phil Zampino)
Breathless
(Love Earth Music)
Under the Fortrexx moniker, Squidco's own Phil Zampino, aka CHANGES TO blind, shapes field recordings, samples, and electronics into subliminal sonic environments that drift and mutate beneath conscious attention, forming enveloping sound tapestries that fill silence without intrusion and function fluidly at low or high volume for contemplation, altered states, or quiet immersion.

(Love Earth Music)
A two-CD immersion in live experimental noise by +DOG+'s Steve Davis and core collaborators, documented across multiple U.S. cities in 2024-25, weaving together feral improvisation, layered electronics, ambient detours, and cathartic sonic eruptions into a raw and immersive journey through texture, intensity, and collective sound exploration.

Twelve Spines Facing God
(Love Earth Music)
Operating under the Jaw Surgery moniker, Filipino noise artist Chester Masangya constructs a ritualized power-electronics work driven by distortion, breath, and deliberate restraint, where extended techniques, hostile pressure, and ceremonial pacing collide in a stark, uncompromising exploration of spiritual collapse, sonic violence, and meditative endurance at the outer limits of noise.

Deep In The Earth High In The Sky

French trumpeter and flugelhornist Aymeric Avice joins D.C./NY/Chicago artists Luke Stewart on double bass & mbira and Chad Taylor on drums & mbira for a richly conversational trio session that moves from delicately textured mbira duets to expansive improvisations rooted in the evolving language of jazz, spontaneously blending lyrical elements into a deeply interactive and forward-looking album.
