Pale Man Made

title:: Nightclub Fight Song
label:: Pinch

Pale Man Made is a band from Newcastle that take the sound of Glasgow's fertile 1996 period when Chemikal Underground Records first started, gives it a touch of the most famous label from their own hometime (Slampt), and packages it up for modern ears.

Running their own label (Pinch Records, the four members of Pale Man Made have a bright future, if they have more songs like the two on this CD, printed in an amazingly limited run of 100 copies.

Waitiki

title:: Charred Mammal Flesh
label:: waitiki.com

Waitiki is a Boston based Exotica band.

The music on Charred Mammal Flesh is sometimes tranquil and sometimes invigorating. There are vibes and bird calls like a Martin Denny Record, and crazy rhythms like a Voodoo Drums disc.
