Winter Tapes

After enduring a long traffic jam at the plant, these tapes are finally ready for your aural enjoyment. A diverse batch this time around--something for the entire family!


Sleep Fern / The Ether Staircase- Split (C-40)

Never mind leaky microwaves and humming power lines, Sleep Fern gathers the waves and radiation of the everyday and blurs it all into agitated, yet beautiful, clouds of voices and static. The flip presents an unhinged summer with The Ether Staircase, collaged fidelities of glass shards and magnetic tape. ((CAVE-07))

- C-40, pro-dubbed Type II Cobalt

-Full color, handmade j-cards. Art by Sleep Fern (www.sleepfern.blogspot.com)

Rainbow Valley- Tipoftheredgiantbranch (C-44)

After great sides on Jozik and Sangoplasmo, Rainbow Valley’s latest is an expansive work of depth and power. Walls of textured sound build slowly, creating wide canyons of reverberating space. The patient and deliberate motion of these pieces has a way of stopping time and bringing the gaze inward, drowning thoughts in the blue haze of distance. ((CAVE-08))

These pieces travel through a wide range of moods and modes, utilizing complex layering of playback, guitar and keyboards, recorded with no overdubs. The result is infectious. ((CAVE-09))

Summer Batch

We have new sounds available for your listening pleasure.













RAGS/The Ether Staircase- Split
Separated at birth, these two projects were bound to meet further down the road and here present an engaging dialogue in sound. On Side A, the inimitable Oakland artist and musician James Seevers under his solo RAGS banner issues a patchwork of melody and noise--clear blasts of interwoven darkness and beauty hold the listener rapt throughout the side-long journey. The Ether Staircase offers a murkier affair on Side B--something is quivering to life beneath the surface of a turbid pond. ((CAVE-04)) C-44 Edition of 20

Sold out! Check distros.



Traces- s/t
Little explanation provided, but from the first blasts of feedback it is clear that this tape chronicles bad times, but the initial violence pushes into more introspective moments of tape garble, and found sound. ((CAVE-05)) C-30
Edition of 20

Sold out! Check distros.













Traces Sample by ((Cave)) Recordings



The Lesser Siren- Rowan Ash

Evoking excursions into California’s North Coast where the summers pass like forgotten promises, cold and hazy. Occasionally, there is light that filters down through the trees, warming the mulch, prompting the seeds of slow time. ((CAVE-06)) C-30 Edition of 20

Sold out! Check distros.
