Albany's Grab Ass Cowboys and Parashi go back awhile....having played several shows together over the years, each noise unit was familiar with the other's sounds and idiosyncrasies. Mutual admiration spilled over into plans for a collaborative effort. Brass and wind instruments were abused, metal was scraped and pounded, random vocal lines and synth textures were coaxed out of reluctant equipment. The end result was a product that slithers and hisses at your feet like a loyal rattlesnake. Murmurs give way to searing feedback tones, trumpet bleats are cut up and fed thru distortion, bells chime and dissolve, and the whole mess is as organic as it is twisted. Get it before it's gone. Edition of 50, $5 ppd.

Saviour Self/Grab Ass Cowboys split c30 (Skell 014)
This split tape features two of the Albany/Hudson area's most vital noise crews. Saviour Self is a duo from Hudson NY that works with mixers and pedals and various sound sources; the resulting sound is a distinct amalgam of patient dynamics and harsh textures. Albany's Grab Ass Cowboys use tape recorders, home-rigged microphones, percussive devices, and an array of pedals to create their sounds. This live piece from May 2012 is a killer example of their style, explosive and cacophonous in some parts and restrained and almost pretty in other parts. Each side smokes, can't wait to see where both these crews are headed next..... Edition of 50, SOLD OUT. Image manipulation/design by Julie Watts.
