Stamped shells.) "Long-running Jersey outfit Human Adult Band come to us after dropping a sickening array of no-fi noise rock and damaged art punk tapes and records upon the public. And yet, The Movers Brought Rainbows is probably their most abstract and alien work to date. While the guitar/bass/drums/voice formation is still the genesis of these recordings, at its core feedback and reverb are the star players here. Source sessions recorded at various locations are unapologetically run through the ringer, subjected to tortuous electronic post processing, and what reaches your ears is an almost atmospheric level of abstraction as echoing drums, voices, amplifier feedback, and electronics are all mashed up and smeared together." - Spleen Coffin. $10 (postage paid in the U.S.) European Distro for this item: Sound Ohm West Jersey Airport / Exhibit: A / Sweet Pith / Relief "LAM Benefit: Live in Lambertville" (Unchanged Mind tapes) Cassette (color j card, Rhomdamine Red shell) Field recordings of 4 artists/groups during a NJ river town porch fest. West Jersey Airport is a heavy psych / proto-grunge trio w/ members of Human Adult Band. Exhbit: A is an electronics and static guitar no wave band with orgins in the original NYC no wave scene. Sweet Pith is a sonically morphing duo/group usually featuring experimental jaw harp but this time accopanying abstract lyrics and minimalist guitar performed by the duo's other regular member. Relief is a noise-synth project by Unchanged Mind Recs label head, whom did a lot of work on Adult Band's latest 'Movers' material. The money from this tape goes to "help put on more and more diverse live music in the area." $15 (postage paid in the U.S.) REYNOLS "Live in Argentina Vol 3" (d.i.h.d. recs) Cassette(50 Made) plus Large Photo & Xerox Art (19 made) The third volume of the 'Live in Argentina' cassette series now available in USA.

Thick slabs of bass noise and amp worship from Ankylosaurus. Phaser virtigo and Tony Conrad influenced jams from Joe+N.

HUMAN ADULT BAND / WEST JERSEY AIRPORT "Rest of the Movers / Live at John & Peters" (Skell Recs) Double CD split (cardboard / painted case, stick on color art with color inserts ) "New Jersey's shadowy Human Adult Band move around the margins of rock, sometimes embracing it, sometimes keeping it at arms' length--but always doing something to the form in the moment. West Jersey Airport grew from the body of HAB--but it is its own rough beast, evoking early Melvins and the sludgier bands of the AmRep stable." Get the CDs from bandcamp page: Skell Recs HUMAN ADULT BAND "3.12.22-7.12.22" (Hyster Tapes) Cassette (Made in Finland on recycled tapes) "there is automatic writing and then there is automatic rock. this is the latter with healthy doses of free noise, slow doom dirge jams, strange snippets of scuzz and a degenerating 5 sec tape loop to end it all. a glorious, 120% analogue, over the top lo-fi production." Get the tape from Euro Label here: Hyster Tapes HUMAN ADULT BAND "Last'd" (Polyhedron Choir Records) Lathe cut 7" record or Download (Made in New Zealand/slimey green translucent record) Approx 13 min of glorious noisy one-mic-recorded jams by Human Adult Band. Released in New Zealand, a place duly represented in our collections. Newly captured on Jimi Hendrix's birthday in late 2022. Guest Guitarist, Jeff Schroeck, who's traveled the nation playing punk stages everywhere. If you prowled NJ in the early aughts, you were likely to catch him charming the 'Parlor' basement crowd on Friday nights or as a member of the house band at the old Asbury Lanes. Quite a ripper.
