Welcome to Barksdale, the third album from porch techno pioneer Blind Moany Wat. Recorded in a collapsing basement in North Carolina, these tracks hallucinate a digital world choked by vines and infested with lizards, marrying doomed lap-steel figures to thoroughly twisted electronics. Rising up from the dirt and reaching down from the sky to work an alchemy in the ear.

It’s here. The End. And whether it’s fiery and violent, or quick like turning out the light, Elevator Machine Room brings us the perfect sound track in The Morning After. Experimental soundscapes, deep bass, and spoken word usher through the final steps of this year-long eschatological path, and make it enjoyable, too.
Since today is our last day on Earth, we at Immigrant Breast Nest want to say that the B’ak’tun Waning project has been an absolute pleasure to work on, with each artist approaching the project in a fresh and inventive way and creating absolutely brilliant work. Particular thanks go to David Morneau for curating, organizing, and inventing the project. As pre-apocalyptic rituals go, we couldn’t have asked for better.
See you all on the other side. If there is one.

Immigrant Breast Nest is proud to release the latest beat collection from Xrin Arms. The aptly titled “HWY” evokes a hip-hop inflected road trip through the American Southwest, a Spaghetti Western where the spaghetti has been laced with cough syrup. This is music that puts you in a trance and wakes you up in a different time zone; another successful fusion from Xrin Arms, a true master of left field sonics.

Our cadre of electronics masterminds bring you eight remixes of Ben Gallina’s Salo- an instrumental septet bent on fusing knotty compositions with intense improvisations, masterfully interweaving gentle and fiery impulses, hard mathematics and ardent blowing. The richness and diversity of the raw material is mirrored in the variety of angles Immigrant Breast Nest’s artists chose to approach it. redHat’s dub’n’jungle assault, the glitched, techno-inspired work-outs of Bad Timing and Peter Seligman, seismologist’s patented industrial groove… We’ve touched the void and returned to earth monstrous. Speak Onion applies his drum’n’noise styles to a tune originally built off a Hindemith fugue. David B. Applegate whips each sound on a death march into a glitched fun-house while Joy Through Noise and David Morneau hit us with off-kilter atmospheres, re-invented ambiences, echoes.
Here at Immigrant Breast Nest, we’re ecstatic to present this set of unclassifiable sounds. Is this jazz? Was it ever? We don’t know. Is it a ground-breaking work of remix genius? Absolutely.

The mighty seismologist brings soundscapes, sludge, and absolute heaviness to B’ak’tun Waning in November’s installment: Sixth Wing.

Immigrant Breast Nest proudly presents “Whale” by Peter Seligman. This E.P. of luminous glitch stretches electronic sound to its breaking point with an admixture of hard beats and error-message-inspired soundscapes. Forget Moby Dick, let’s tweak.

Gene Prikster does righteous creepy prog rock with an endtimes twist on “Death Preacher.”

Inconclusive Whale Autopsy returns in a blaze of psychic anguish and
impulsive outburst with “IWAII.” Beginning with the same equation
which spawned their first record, “IWAII” once again solves for X:
minimum duration, maximum goresplosion.
Not content to detonate alone, Inconclusive Whale Autopsy recruited
Xrin Arms, The Toilet, and David B. Applegate to add shrapnel to the
mix. Xrin Arms disgorges virulence and blocks carrier signals on
Faciem Futuo Fulgur. The Toilet is legion, whose paint fumes
suffocate the reasonable on Scheißekampf, die Eliminierung. And David
B. Applegate rips lungs and defaces poetry on Meaty Urologyst.
There’s just enough time for this record before the world ends in
December: “IWAII” squeezes out 10 tracks of premium, unrealistic
grindcore in 9 minutes, 34 seconds. Birds, butter, and sentient
electromagnetic fields await, the noise of a thousand uncooperative
bits of data. Having drunk from the twin streams of Crystal Pepsi and
Zima, the lifeblood of Inconclusive Whale Autopsy is renewed and
refreshed.
The killing is necessary, the looting pays for the next expedition.

Thermometerometer – Traumameter
Thermometerometer returns with “Traumameter,” a thorough exploration of the borderland between electronic wreckage and bass. The duo of David B. Applegate and Speak Onion’s Dan Abatemarco started Thermometerometer to measure the measurers and succeeded in obliterating all yard-sticks. Now, they’re left with no other option but to measure the damage. These tracks are guaranteed to blow up your cabbage and cut your meat into ribbons. We’ll send an ambulance.
Scenic Railroads get in on the endtime ruckus with “Pleasant, Dead.” Soundscapes travel through space and time collapsing in on themselves through this track’s 10 minute run, leaving ears and brain completely blank. In the end is nothing, after all.
