Afterlife- Celestial Habitat (HIV112)
Afterlife is Ryan McGill (Cliffsides) and Franklin Teagle (Cenote Glow), two Georgia natives currently residing in New York. They’ve put out some amazing tapes over the years but on this, their debut vinyl, they left no crevice of their past oeuvre unexplored while continuing to press onward and upward. Field recordings and percolating electronics merge into a rich tapestry of crystal clear transcendence, hitting you straight in the third eye. This is a portrait of two artists at the top of their game. While there’s certainly no shortage of synth jammers out there, these guys are operating in a world of their own and this album is a stunning testament to that fact.
AFTERLIFE- Infinite Ceiling by Hooker Vision
Black vinyl. Edition of 300. Mastered by Lawrence English.
Pierrot Lunaire- Theme for Ascension and Eternal Love (HIV104)
Since we first introduced Pierrot Lunaire to the world, via his mind-altering masterpiece debut, Turn Back the Hands of Time, we felt it was only right to release his first work on vinyl as well. More of a miniature album than a single, this 7” is the total manifestation of Pierrot. Leading off with a sidelong sax and electronics slow burner, Lunaire guides you gently down the rabbit hole as disembodied vocals and junk oscillations begin to soar and collide around you like psilocybic fireworks. On the B side, we’re guided through a labyrinthian tapestry of cut-up waltzes and ballads. All the while, Lunaire croons maniacally; a mythic cosmic joker.

Seziki Tetrasheaf/Quiet Evenings- split (RC50/HIV100)
In celebration of Rotifer's 50th and Hooker Vision's 100th releases, the two labels have teamed up to offer a commemorative split LP between the labels' flagship bands, Seziki Tetrasheaf and Quiet Evenings.
The A side begins with Seziki's lost and found shuffle of mildewed grooves. Hazy recollections. Deep humidity.
On the flip, QE cool things down a bit with a bubbling hymn to the ocean and her mysteries. Lost in waves. Floating.

Lace Bows- Pollen Futures c30 (HIV107)
Hailing from Portugal, Laces Bows is the solo project of psychedelic jammer Joana Francisco. Field recordings give way to swirling piano loops before breaking into a tropical stride on the B side where towards the end, things get really sweaty.

Rambutan- Partial Wires (HIV101)
Rambutan, always eager to challenge the very idea of Rambutan, takes a slight sidestep from his usual modus operandi and offers a fresh new batch of digitized miniatures. These shorter pieces employ a playful sense of rhythm as ricocheting modular tones bubble and percolate like some lost and found library music gem.
Rambutan- New Swarm (excerpt) by Hooker Vision
30 min clear with royal blue liner, pro-dubbed cassette with white imprint. Full color art by Grant. Edition of 100.
Geoffrey Sexton- Night CIty Undertow (HIV103)
As a filmmaker and member of Tennessee weirdo collective, Horsehair Everywhere, Geoffrey Sexton has honed his ability to craft stirring environments, often unsettling in their dissonance yet warm and welcoming as they slowly reveal themselves to you. As a solo artist, Sexton makes splendid use of the treated guitar, hammering and bowing it in a quasi-religious frenzy.

37 min solid black, pro-dubbed cassette with gold imprint. Full color art by Grant. Edition of 100.
