  Artist/Title: April in the Orange - IN THE MIRROR UNDER THE MOON 8 Format: CASS Label: cae-sur-a (USA) Price: $6 Catalog ID: CarbonDist_caesura_cv015 In the Mirror Under the Moon is a carefully sequenced collection of Aril in the Orange's earliest recordings, dating from the prelapsarian dystopia of 2007 and early 2008. Each song is a butterfly-blue weave of melody rolling through a changing sky of strum and solo, overtone Casio and cut-up piano - chromatically rich and vaguely alien annotations on AitO's translation from murky tongues of sky-dreaming, solo bedroom madness into bright dialogues of humane collaboration. The aesthetic of the amorphous at its most shimmering. - Flavius Dionysius Pro printed, hand numbered edition of 100

  Artist/Title: Baldruin - Schatten & Lichter 6 Format: CASS Label: cae-sur-a (USA) Price: $6 Catalog ID: CarbonDist_caesura_005 "Sleepwalking in lost memories, a hairy goblin processes ambient Lo-Fi nightmarish tales on keyboard, flute, found objects and percussion. Recalling images from childhood days in the Bavarian woods, these Madeleines taste like cold sweat; dark, romantic and surreal elegies for a past never experienced, only imagined. Some call it “Hauntology”, we call it Bavarian Gothic. Schatten & Lichter provides ten sonic stillborn changelings at midnight, preserved and presented here on tape." -Holger Adam, Phantom Limbo Hand numbered edition of 100. C-31

  Artist/Title: Black Chalk - s/t 8 Format: CASS Label: cae-sur-a (USA) Price: $6 Catalog ID: CarbonDist_caesura_cv021 BLACK CHALK is the collaborative project between Ray Hare (Fossils from the Sun, Century Plants), Eric Hardiman (Rambutan, Century Plants) and Cory E. Card (Stone Baby). Established in the summer of 2009 and originally intended to be a one off performance at the UAG Gallery in Albany, New York, but due to the success of that performance the three decided to continue working together long distance. The premise of BLACK CHALK is for the performers to limit their sonic pallet to the use of vocals, effects and microphones. Contained on this tape are the results of their exploration: three of the tracks were constructed and mixed throughout the Fall of 2009 and into 2010, and the final two works are excerpts from the live performance. The results are a mix of dynamic, pulsating rhythmic loops, eerie feedback and ghostly voices. Pro printed, hand numbered edition of 100.

  Artist/Title: Velvet Elvis - In Deep Time 12 Format: LP Label: cae-sur-a (USA) Price: $15 Catalog ID: CarbonDist_caesura_cv001 "We are incredibly excited to present the debut full length LP from Velvet Elvis, In Deep Time. Recorded at GFI Studios in the early months of 2012, where Velvet Elvis drank deep from the well of rock to bring about six dark tracks of paranoia and depravity that capture hallucinogenic vignettes into a future gone wrong. The songs thunder and crash, sweep and swoon with a greater depth of clarity and vision than we have seen from this band in the past. An expanded sense of texture and dynamics move their signature plodding riffs along to crescendos that could open a hole in the sky. In Deep Time is pure unapologetic rock and roll. The album was produced by Velvet Elvis and Sam Polizzi and mastered for vinyl by Joe Lambert. Hand numbered, limited edition of 300 copies that include a lyric sheet, a section of the analog tape included in the recording process, and digital download card containing the whole album with exclusive bonus track Brass Tacks."
