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
(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.
Money
4 [2 CDs]

The mysterious Massachusetts project Money returns with a two-disc set of dark electronic glitch and oppressive texture, its four long tracks moving through distorted pulses, damaged surfaces, brutal eruptions and long stretches of seismic stasis, creating a difficult but focused sound world of innuendo, tension, disruption and slow-moving electronic pressure.
Mephitick Ooze
The Path of Congealment
(Love Earth Music)
The Montague, Massachusetts noise project Mephitick Ooze delivers a forty-four-minute barrage of distorted, tortured sound in a harsh and challenging long-form work that moves glacially through ripped textures, overloaded frequencies and brief pockets of relief, shaping its abrasive force into a slow, deliberate arc of sonic pressure.
+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.
+D:A+
III
(Love Earth Music)

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.
+DOG+
Our Beloved.....
(Love Earth Music)
A fierce and immersive set of three extended noise pieces from the six-member experimental collective of Steve Davis, Bobby Almon, Chuck Foster, Edward Giles, LOB, and Mackenzie Kourie, recorded in multiple locations, blending dense textures, static-laced improvisation, and electroacoustic intensity into a raw and unapologetically visceral listening experience.
