Since the above release may have peaked your interest, I would like to formally announce that I've started a new project, Frightened Moon. Completely analog turntable and tape manipulation. Releases out on Fusty Cunt and Depravity Label soon. Various live actions have and will take place in the Midwest. These are the two audio cassette offerings of the project:
Frightened Moon - Wells (C-30)
Harsh and unnerving. Eroded sounds leave ghostly traces. Debut release. One sided C-30 wrapped in gauze. $6 PPD.
Frightened Moon - Unwell (C-20)
Textural harsh cut-up. Heavy use of maxed out samples and loops. C-20. $6 PPD.
I have decided to keep the label going at a more relaxed pace, with one or so batches a year. Releases will be sparse, but I'm not dead yet. I'd also like to add that I've opened a storenvy, with all available STT releases in stock as well as various distro items which I will try my best to update regularly:
