Misprision
(Love Earth Music)
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.
Sheer Anxiety
If You Want Blood You've Got It
(Love Earth Music)
The Boston duo of Chris Strunk on snare drum and percussion and Andrea Pensado on electronics and voice unleash six live performances from 2018-2025, forging a raw and volatile language of harsh electronics, extreme vocal force, rattling percussion, snare-driven impact and free improvisational tension rooted in noise, physicality and underground experimental performance.
Takeshita
The Lethal Lottery
(Love Earth Music)
Compact yet unpredictable electronic sound worlds that unfold through shifting textures, rhythmic abstraction, and dynamic synthesis, inviting listeners to embrace chance by playing the album on shuffle and discovering new interplay between evolving motifs, tactile synthesis, and subtle sonic gestures that balance thoughtful design with an open, exploratory spirit.
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.
Unsub
Suffer Apathy
(Love Earth Music)
A collaborative ambient work from sound artists, LA-based guitarist Fetusk and Massachusetts-based synthesizer Steven Davis, blending subtly layered guitars, drones, and synth textures in a spacious, contemplative environment that unfolds slowly and delicately, drawing the listener into a refined and immersive electroacoustic soundscape.
Abrasion Addict / Animal Machine
Split
(Love Earth Music)
A raw and punishing split release from UK noise artists Abrasion Addict (Joe Fowler) and Animal Machine (Bohr Ernst), presenting studio and live recordings — including a 2017 Brighton performance — of unrelenting sonic extremity, where dense textures, abrasive dynamics, and fractured structures embody the visceral force of the harsh noise underground.
Magical
The Gift Of Today
(Love Earth Music)
A visceral plunge into the depths of experimental noise from Massachusetts sound artist Magical, this release juxtaposes brief, deceptively titled tracks with relentless sonic assaults and divisive vocal moments, creating a disorienting yet compelling experience that shifts between the brutal and the mysterious.
Money
Money 2 [2 CDs]
(Love Earth Music)
An enigmatic 2-CD release of glacial dark ambient and pulsing glitch from the elusive project Money, where each track-titled simply "money" — unfolds like a slow-moving tectonic shift, sculpting ominous, hollow textures with unsettling momentum; a minimalist package and a deeply immersive sonic enigma of brooding presence and uneasy stillness.
Woods, Peter J.
Sucking Stones
(Love Earth Music)
Exploring the intersection of harsh noise, spoken word, and conceptual composition, Peter J. Woods constructs a sonic meditation on Samuel Beckett's Molloy, weaving fragmented text, tense ambience, and intense sonic ruptures into a dynamic and gripping experience, where shifting textures and calculated silences evoke both philosophical depth and visceral tension.
subservientdominance
Publicdominance
(Love Earth Music)
Live recordings from four Northeast U.S. performances by subservientdominance, the solo project of Doug DeWalt, blending power electronics, harsh noise, and deep vocal-driven textures into a visceral exploration of sonic dominance, with each set presenting a uniquely aggressive and immersive approach to raw electroacoustic intensity.
Zilmrah
Hallucinatory X-Ray Visions
(Love Earth Music)
The debut full-length from Lawry Romani's noise/drone project Zilmrah blends manipulated samples, modular synths, and handcrafted electroacoustic instruments into intriguingly distorted yet spacious soundscapes, balancing hypnotic rhythms with dadaist absurdity and dense sonic experimentation in a captivating journey of cut-up electronics and immersive drones.
God Pussy
Rudimentar Desejo De Liberdade
(Love Earth Music)
Brazilian noise artist Jhones Silva, aka God Pussy, delivers a brutal, uncompromising conglomerate of harsh electronic textures, abstract noise, and aggressive sonic distortion, employing pedals, synths, radios & noise generators in an intense DIY exploration of social chaos, urban corruption, and humanity's unfulfilled desire for freedom through confrontational electroacoustic compositions.
Midnight Only (RJ Myato / Jabe Ledoux)
Midnight Only
(Love Earth Music)
An album of dense electronics, drums and gongs from Vermont drummer and experimenter Jabe Ledoux, aka Jo Bled, and Pittsburgh noise artist RJ Myato, co-founder of NNN Coalition and curator of Enforced Existence label, in three works from assertive jumbles of sound, to buzzy drones with muted percussion and ending with an ocean of blurred and swooping harmonics.
Chefkirk
Giant Size
(Love Earth Music)
Eight distinctive works for electronics and sound from the alter ego of Roger H. Smith, using noise, percussive elements and unusual synthetics, layered around static and arpeggiated rhythms and punctuated with strange asides, the works run from 3:14 to 18:37 and were developed over a year and half; an excellent introduction to the sonic diversity Chefkirk revels in.
Elka Bong
Elektro Locution [VINYL]
(Love Earth Music)
Elka Bong is the experimental sound art duo of Al Margolis and Walter Wright, here joined by guests Andrea Pensado on voice and electronics and Steve Davis on electronics, Margolis performing on synth, electric guitar & objects, and Weiss on Board Weevil and drum kit, in a mix of improvisation, extended technique, cacophony and indeterminacy.
Juice Machine
Broken And Dilapidated
(Love Earth Music)
An apt description for the layers of sonic decay and deteriorated sounds, loops and errata that underpin each of the five tracks on this elusively restrained noise album, Juice Machine, aka Roger H. Smith (Chefkirk) and Heather Chessman, use mangled field recordings and concrete elements of blurred looping structures and aberrant interjection, each unique work a fascinating curiosity.
Extra
Spiral/Athletics
(Love Earth Music)
The third album from the collaboration of sound artists Howard Seltzer, who typically works with consumer grade tape players, and Brian Grainger, head of the Milieu Music mailorder label, in an extended work of textural cassette sound, field recordings, drone music and modular synthesis, a journey through rich and well-controlled sound.

III

To The Usual Atomic Rhetoric Vol. 1
(Love Earth Music)
