about

PHR-132
2017, Phase!
Edition of 120 copies on CDR w/ fold-out sleeve offset-printed on metallic paper.

Alex MacKinnon's first release with Phase! is a numbingly bleak, yet life affirming, exploration of tape textures, guitar scrawlings, and electronic mass. Its crust punk asphyxiated in raw wool. There's spiraling fragments of New Zealand freenoise long lost in the dankest corner of space. Occult hymns set to sonic mountainscapes and the cutest of jittery tape loops propped up by flabby slices of the warm synth, slowly slipping away on lifeless black floes.

All tracks guitars, cymbals, tapes, pd.
Mastered by Forbes Williams at Otoitu.

We are gonna bypass this manifesto for a limited time only since the artist's family is in serious medical bills. All proceeds from digital sales will go directly to the family. GoFundMe link: www.gofundme.com/f/support-stella-roza-alex-and-aliki?

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.
