Super Minerals on Housecraft

Super Minerals — The Gooh c40 [HR88] — out of stock —

"Recorded at an altitude of infinity, these two west-coast giants have touched the dazzling pinnacle and continue to send back bombs of transformative ether for fertile minds. There's a perpetual unfolding motion with this project that sucked me in from the first time I'd heard 'The Thaw' (released twice now by NNF). Here, that dynamic is ever-more-refined and, again, totally magical. However if your eyes begin to foam violet, you may have had too much of the Gooh." - Housecraft

Super Minerals — Multitudes (ACE012) —out of stock—

"This is an album full of zoned-out drones that smolder and sink deep down into the mud. Synths wallow in the sun-dried ruins while guitar & bass write new epochs with shards of sonic debris. Fried whispers drift in the analog breeze slipping in and fading out before you even realize they're there. Late night whirrs and gentle skeletal purrs make a home in these aural prisms, never quite letting the blood boil." - Digitalis Industries

reviews:

"Maximal ecstatic drone with sunlit organs swirling into a mesmerizing cloud of sound and wordless vocals. This sounds like the music for a sun-worship ritual of a idyllic lost world. Gorgeous." - Boa Melody Bar

"Psychotropic, simmering drones from Magic Lantern duo Phil French and William Giachhi, who bathe their sustained excursions in suggestively spiritual undertones, combining piercing, meditational bells with far-out effects-spun soundscapes in the vein of Popol Vuh." - Boomkat

"Not as heavily into concept as 'The Pelagics' but the duo is still pillaging the murky depths of drone; landing them at the calm center of the storm that is the Magic Lantern family. 'Multitudes', like its predecessor exhumes the tormented ghosts of ancient animal races, creeping forth into your cranium like the unanswered wail of extinction. The album's pieces flow into each other in such seamless perfection that each new one is another glimmer into Multitudes' dense symphony. Beautifully packaged in a limited gatefold cover as only Digitalis can do." - Raven Sings the Blues

"When you eventually take this tape out of your player, and that time could be quite far off, don't be surprised if other things come out, too. Sand, jewels, birds, or maybe a suitcase. The tape keeps playing whether or not you keep breathing.

Super Minerals — The Piss c30 [DNT037] — out of stock —

"New cassette by Long Beach's Super Minerals, which is Phil and William from psych band Magic Lantern. "The Piss" takes a different route than ML using murky drones and faint cries for help. Heavily influenced by old zombie films. Limited to 75 hand numbered copies on piss yellow cassettes with gross hairy label art. Red fishy cover art with yellow splatter." — DNT Records

Super Minerals on NNF

Super Minerals — The Thaw c120 [NNF106 & NNF106A] — out of stock —

"We spent weeks farming through three and a half years worth of Super Minerals' greatest recordings to birth The Thaw, the massive C120 collection we released in early '08. But as edition-of-100s are wont to do, the CS sold out fast and vanished into the yawning past. Which is cool, but we felt this classic deserved a 2nd go-round for the united global earhole, so we fashioned a new edition, and here it is. Exact same music ("murky sunlight string-jangle, jungle Om heatwaves, distant insect whirr, phantom flute whispers, deep drugged rainforests of vibrant harmonic hallucination"), on the exact same high quality pro-imprinted chrome cassettes, but this time each tape is housed in a unique hand-cut full-color wraparound piece of brain-hazed new age art, and tied with a piece of sea glass scavenged in Fort Bragg, CA. Edition of 100." - NNF
