Strongly Imploded / Matomeri 7" out now!

[A Beard of Snails]

Yes, just a quick e-mail to tell you... what the subject line already
did!


Strongly Imploded "Hier et aujourd'hui" / Matomeri "Crow Bar Walk"

Proudly presenting the very first vinyl release to be given an 'ABOS'
catalog number - a 45 of two exhilarating three-minute jazz-punk
scorchers from Europe's way-out corners. Italy's Strongly Imploded
(fab CD-Rs on Kimberly Dawn and Ikuisuus) hits us with psycho sax
outbursts and chopping block electronics, creative deconstruction,
augmented by plenty of "rock" oomph! Finland's Matomeri (previous
releases on OMS-B and Ikuisuus as well... what with Timo of Ikuissus
being in Matomeri) takes a somewhat lower tech road, cave walls of
sound unbound(ed), primal rippin' mad great! Limited to
"approximately" 102 copies with hand decorated / stamped center labels
and xeroxed paste-on art.

Snag one soon - http://www.abeardofsnails.com/boutique.html
(...about half the copies will go to the bands; I assume www.ikuisuus.net
will have some for sale, as will a Copenhagen record shop or two. As
for outside Europe, nothing's been arranged yet.)


Next releases (a bunch of CD-Rs, a pair of tapes) are expected in a
couple of weeks.

Cheerz,
Christian
