NUX VOMICA - VERTONEN - AUDIOEMETIC - KAWAIIETLY PLEASE
The 2nd release from TIF featuring photography by Lob of Instagon. This time again with the same formula; a project from The SF/Bay Area, one from outside CA., one from Sacramento, and one from SoCal. (in that order). NUX VOMICA present a live recording of thier 2008 Norcal Noisefest appearance in Sacramento...very moody and thought provoking. VERTONEN comes in next with one track with 4 parts of solid power drones and giving just was you come to expect from this Chicago performance artist. AUDIOEMETIC presents 3 tracks that are all filled with solid punches of noise and electronics, but also something else that just seems out of focus and out of reach. KAWIIETLY PLEASE gives us a short blast of sold excruciating power noise high-ended and loud. Its a short track, but actually is pretty long as far as tracks from KP go. This release is limited to 100 copies.

INSTAGON - +DOG+ - CJ BOROSQUE - WRYM
Audio mayhem from this fine grouping of audio wizards. Instagon recorded live in SF in early 2008 at the Luggage Store gallery. DOG terrorizing with audio brutality that Steve Davis has become well known for.. CJ BOROSQUE continues her search for the the sonic blast that will unlesh the deamons that control the world and set fire to the speakers they scream from.. and lastly WYRM returns with guitars and the first track unleashed anywhere from ALLAN ZANE as WYRM in many years time..This is the first CD in a series launched by TIF in late 2008 featuring photography done by LOB of Instagon. The "Audio Roadkill" series features photos of found and discarded music media, mostly CD format. The photo series first appeared as part of a group art showing at Norcal Noisefest in 2007, and since has been part of at least 4 other showings before expanding into the foundation for this CD series from TIF. Limited to 100 copies.
