Three new releases to start the month - Black Velvet Stereo, Dao De Noize / Troj, Twin Polygamists / Pacific Mausoleum

[A Beard of Snails]

No releases in April, so lots of catching up to do in May!

Let's get started...

ABOS3-076: Black Velvet Stereo "Destroy This Town" CD-R

Created entirely (and astonishingly) with guitar, bass, and effects,
this expansive
collection ranges and rages from mass(ive) to meditative. Tender
melodies and
anarchic noise. Ambient electric audio edifices. Flights of freak
fancy. Comes in a
solid red plastic CD case/"mailer" with an obi strip. Limited to 15.

ABOS3-094: Dao De Noize / Troj c28

Blazing sci-fi beauties from the ever prolific Dao De Noize and the
more under the
radar (but equally intriguing) Troj. Seering sidelong sculptures of
haunted analogue
synthesis, rusted android whispers, lunar stormfront machinations, or
so. Stamped
blue tapes, Xeroxed j-cards.

ABOS3-085: Twin Polygamists / Pacific Mausoleum c8

More cassingle exhaltations - the springy synth 'n' squelch stylings
of TP on one side;
the metal latrine music of PM on the other. Watercolour stained j-
cards, stamped red
cassettes. Limited to 8 huge ones.

As always, these are available from http://www.abeardofsnails.com/boutique.html
(or shop.html - mirror pages for the win.) Package discounts in
effect.

I decided to refurbish the site slightly. Hope it's not a complete
mess. New pages soon.
Old fashioned WYSIWYG web design (no CMS yet - maybe next time; in
time for Web 3.0,
if not sooner.)

Anyway, due to the particularly limited edition nature of two of the
three releases (and
peoples' dire financial situations, incidentally), downloads are also
available:
http://blackvelvetstereo.bandcamp.com/album/destroy-this-town
http://abeardofsnails.bandcamp.com/album/twin-polygamists-pacific-mausoleum

More very soon! (CD-Rs: Caligine, Shalocins, the "Bearded Snails" 3x
3" compilation,
Cloud Shepherd, Il Taglia, and a slew of tapes: Mark Bradley, The
Cats' Orchestra, etc.)

Exciting thanks,
Christian
