PHR-133
2018, Phase!
Edition of 100 copies on CDR w/ fold-out sleeve with obi strip.
Bill Anagnos has been an active part of the Athens underground for almost two decades, mostly behind the scenes (as part of the prolific Free Piece of Tape duo) but always producing the most dangerous leftfield acrobatics between uniquely sourced experimental narratives and massively accessible contemporary rhythm music. This selection of recent recordings depicts a personal race into a helmeted head, ready to crush on normality walls and finish at an utopian end, the nature of which is either light or dark coloured, depending on the listener. Gear up for a strictly peculiar ride, belt-free.
All tracks recorded live & produced by Bill Anagnos in 2016.
Vocals on track No6 by Turbo Teeth.
Those tracks would not have been born without the support of Akis Sinos, Morah, Dead Gum, Victor Gogas, Turbo Teeth & Beri Beri.

DIGITAL ‘ALBUM’ MANIFESTO:
Phase! doesn’t support digital sales. Every single artist’s hard work has been represented by a physical release, like it should. Bandcamp doesn’t allow the “Enable / Disable Download” checkbox anymore, that’s why we’ve priced every release with a ridiculous amount of hard-earned money so that no one downloads it. It’s up there for all of you to listen to and we’re pretty sure there are lots of ways to make it yours if you want to –with very minimum digital and analog hacking skills– but the music up there, on the Phase! Bandcamp page, is just a virtual reference. Nothing more. If you want to support the artists, please buy music (digital also, if you insist, some do that and we’re totally fine with it) from their Bandcamp pages. If you want to support the label, please buy the old-fashioned, good-looking physical goods and you won’t regret it.
Portland shoegaze that plays, as the best representatives of the genre do, with huge, hollow atmosphere against intimate observations. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 23, 2016
An introspective record that fuses post-rock, shoegaze and ambient synth patches into a seamless array of shimmering soundscapes. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 26, 2023
Manic drum & bass with a sinister industrial edge from this Texas artist that occasional recalls Aphex Twin at his most evil. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 31, 2022
