11 02 2010

This split release comes from two of the most vital electronic musicians working today. These two are separated by space and style, but couldn’t be closer after touring together and performing together for over two years. From psychedelic to brutal to harsh to pulsating, Snow Braids brings it all into one tight package.

Xrin Arms has been circling America, like a vulture looking for roadkill to feast on, destroying venues with zero remorse and whether you love him or hate him, you have no choice but to respect his determination and progression as an artist.  This once-leader of a digital grind movement has moved on to a much more colorful pasture; a harsh psychedelic one.  Incorporating live instruments and moving on from the typical e-grind formula, Xrin Arms has managed to find himself standing alone with practically his own music genre.  These four songs will be sure to please the harshness addicts and the melody lovers all at the same time. Trip away.

Speak Onion brings his particular style of noise-laden breakcore to the table, abandoning all caution and pushing the levels to the red. Only one track is needed to get the point across here. And the point is absolute ruination through sound. After the sprawling excess of “Trigger Pusher” Speak Onion returns to economical efficiency and packs a mammoth wallop into this 7-minute 5-finger sandwich.  Nothing less would suffice to close out this epic release.

Good luck finding your teeth.

Also, check out Speak Onion’s new website design, and find him on Twitter. You can expect him to be hollering about breakbeats, fish, beards, eating, and maybe Nord synthesizers or whatever the fuck that dude is ever talking about.

Also, did you find me on facebook yet? I didn’t!

Thermometerometer- Overcoming Adversity City, Digital Leak!

12 11 2009

oac3

We are rewarding, you, the Immigrant Breast Nest faithful, with the first access to the brand-newest Thermometerometer styles, in digital form, before the CDs are even ready to print. Get down on it.

Thermometerometer returns with Overcoming Adversity City, a nightmare romp through the cracked prisms of doom metal, electronic improvisation, tricked-out beats, and the good, old-fashioned weirdness for which they’re best known. After spending its earliest days getting shapes, Thermometerometer has now begun to break them down into micro-shapes and colored dust from which they form the crayons responsible for drawing these seven slabs of electrified sonic abstraction. Need an edgy doom fix? Hear Seventeen Million Dollar Block and Arcane Arabic Soccer Magick. Want some bombed out spastic bass & drum machine abuse? Please enjoy Total Breakdance Society and Ironic Ethnicity City. Or, if you’re inclined toward digital wrecks & noisy eclectic beat disruptions, check out Ticking Amazing and Mad Derelict. No matter where your mind wanders on the spectrum of fresh electronic sounds, T-MOM is there with something you’ve not yet imagined.

Mad beat professor Morneau is cloning and re-sequencing rhythmic DNA chains, mutating the groove and building up an army of seething breaks to unleash from university halls to street gutters.

We’re giving this record a massive debut at Hellgate Social in Astoria, Queens 11/10/09.

And to all the haters who keep insisting I don’t exist: what’s up now!? I’ll be your DJ for the night spinning crazy stuff from the IBN catalog & other choice catalogs. Begin preparing your mind to accept these fresh shapes now & we’ll see you in November.

Blind Moany Wat

26 06 2009

blind

Blind Moany Wat is a porch techno project from the David B. Applegate collective.  Track 3, “Hanging,” features Jim Kaznosky of Miss Ohio on guitar & track 6, “Creaky, warped,” features Christopher Trull on the same.

Herein, you’ll find the finest dirt dog tech-step juju.  Herein, you’ll get lost in the wooden maze & find the orb at the center.

Traveling through time is exhausting, but you’ll be rewarded through hearing these tracks born from lap-steel clang, oscillator smash & bass-drum batter.

Never has techno music danced so far from the club.  This techno was created & exists for the porch.  Embodying the spirit of experimentation, “Blind Moany Wat” includes elements of doom, noise, folk-tech splat, bass warble & tremolo.

Please listen at top volume while enjoying your afternoon bourbon outside.

Forthcoming: Mercy Choir with Speak Onion.

15 05 2009

We are very excited to announce an upcoming collaborative release between our boy, Speak Onion, and good buddy, Mercy Choir. These two have decided to work together and that the best format for them to collaborate would be for Speak Onion to record and heavy-handedly produce a few of Mercy Choir’s songs. We are expecting Mercy Choir’s psychadelic folk to sit interestingly, if uncomfortably, with Speak Onion’s rough, soundscape-y production style. Or perhaps, Speak Onion will bring nasty textures to Mercy Choir’s quirky compositions. Ok, honestly, we don’t know what’s going to happen, but we know these two madmen spent a Saturday together making sounds, and we’re pretty pumped up about it.

The final product will be co-released by us here at I.B.N. and the good people at Dead Language Records. Downloads will ensue.

Stay tuned for more updates! There are more pics in the Visuals section.

Inside Info About The I.B.N. Releases

26 04 2009

I have some fun ‘insider’ comments for you all which gets the hype-machine going as well as elevating our mystique to “Leviathan”-era Mastodon proportions:

Thermometeromter – Who measures the measurers?
Dunejam was recorded on an actual dune.

Speak Onion – Metabolor
Dan still won’t tell me where he got the harp, piano & string samples on the last track of this one.

Magical Penis Thief – A rabbit pooped in his arms
Most of the song titles for this came from bathroom graffiti in a bar.

Headless Nameless – Lowlight Encampment
Most of the sounds are from a 1989 drum machine + Gameboy.

Thermometerometer – In the furniture factory
Recorded in a factory right across the street from where Nas used to live.

Decanting the Bloodwhore – Evenloped In The Dreaded Anguish Of Ancients
Archaeological evidence indicates that eating licorice-covered watermelon seeds is part of what made the members of this band so hateful and nihilistic during the making of this record.

Go download these in the releases section!!
