Morris Arch Nightwork – Morris Arch Nightwork (Cassette)

Posted on:

Morris Ad

New trippy electronic sounds coming your way from the W-R-MY! Today we are proud to announce the release of Morris Arch Nightwork’s self titled album “Morris Arch Nightwork“. The man behind this insane release is Izaak Schlossman (a new friend from Philly) who happened to get in touch and grace us with this top notch Techno release. Some of you may know him as Starcircleanatomy, or the man behind the Ace of Tapes cassette label, but here we see Izaak starting out on a quest for new sounds under a new name… This limited edition Cassette is packed full of hypnotic minimal Techno. Densely textural, psychedelic and extremely addictive! Since the day it arrived, it has been on constant rotation here! Super highly recommended, don’t miss it!

Some upcoming new releases announced!

Upcoming releases ad

Hello Everyone,
Just wanted to take a moment to announce that we are hard at work on some upcoming new releases here at the WR home base. Here are a few releases that will be arriving shortly…

_______________________________________________________________

Coming soon to LP:

First up, we have the debut full length album by Ozarks. This will be a limited edition LP containing 15 tracks of bedroom baroque-pop psychedelia by Robbie Augspurger. 300 black LPs housed in full color jackets with inserts featuring some of Robbie’s weird 1970s giallo-inspired photography. You won’t want to miss it!

Check out the Ozarks album trailer here!

Can’t get enough? Check out the Ozarks LP infomercial here featuring Robbie looking like Benny Andersson, playing a bunch of songs that aren’t on the album, alone at the piano (on a beach).

Also coming soon we have a 12″ edition of EOD’s Qustionmarks EP that was released digitally last year. Six uber-melodic hard hitting acid tracks by our man from Norway: Stian Gjevik (aka CN)! This release will be limited to 300 copies on black vinyl in black sleeves.

All I can say is that these tracks have been on heavy duty rotation since they first arrived at WR. Not sure how else to praise such a solid release! Absolutely essential listening!

Coming soon to Cassette:

New to WR, Morris Arch Nightwork (Izaak Schlossman, aka Starcircleanatomy) makes his debut appearance with his self titled full length album featuring six generous tracks of dense atmospheric abstract techno. These complex yet tastefully minimal tunes are perfectly suited for dance floors and headphones alike. Limited to 100 Cassettes. Highly Highly Recommended!

David Tagg makes his first appearance on WR with an insanely beautiful double album of ambient synth drones titled simply WR027 (the catalog number of the release). Formerly released as a 25 copy only double CD as EEDCD-07 at the now defunct Expanding Electronic Diversity label, this double cassette reissue is comprised of 8 long-form drone works constructed of synthesizer, field recordings and reel to reels. As if this album could have gotten any more beautiful than it already was, our man Brian Grainger did an absolutely breathtaking mastering job for this cassette reissue. Limited to 100 copies. Heavenly…

And last but certainly not least, Jonny Dillon is gracing WR with a brand new full length album as Automatic Tasty! “Speech and Silence” is a 10 track album of some of the best braindance tunes we’ve heard in forever (aside from his two new vinyl releases at Lunar Disko of course!). These tracks are loaded with bouncy acid hooks and bubbling hyper-color melodies. Can’t recommend this one enough!

Check out the Speech and Silence trailer here!

You can expect these releases to begin to surface in the next few weeks.
Thanks for reading! More information and sound samples coming soon.

Davis Hooker – Phoning It In Cassette Reissue.

Posted on:

Davis Ad
We just made a fresh batch of Davis Hooker’s “Phoning It In” cassette! This is the second edition of this cassette and it will be limited to 50 copies on white cassettes with black labels, housed in our standard audiobook packaging. Check it out if you missed out on the first run!

Phoning It In is a very moving live interpretation of Davis Hooker I performed via telephone call. Beautiful hand-picked guitars lead Davis’s haunting picturesque lyrics down a dark and hazy road. Seemingly autobiographical, Davis’ poetry is both thought provoking and heart-wrenchingly honest. Don’t miss it!

If you despise CDs, perhaps an HQ digital version might tickle your fancy?

Brian Grainger – Invisible Frequencies From The Underground Chrome Monolith – LTD Cassette Release.

Posted on:

BG_IFFTUCM_AD

WR is happy to announce a new limited edition drone cassette by Brian Grainger titled “Invisible Frequencies From The Underground Chrome Monolith“. This cassette features two massive long form drone pieces improvised entirely on Synthrotek gear (and a mixer). Invisible Frequencies is not a typical Brian Grainger release, rather, it is an excercise in self restraint and subtle improvisation. These two 20 minute plus tracks play out like monochromatic noise fields intercepted by some obscure piece of government equipment. A release for the Connoisseur!

Limited to 42 hand-numbered copies on chrome cassettes! Get them while you can!
