Newsletter 1Newsletter 2Newsletter 3MONGOLBORD SURFINGTURD Newsletter 4Well howdy gentlechaps, meatbags and homo sapiens of a womanly persuasion. You can stop crying into your breakfast cereal, we're here to deliver good news... Tasty new music from your favourite purveyors of Canadian avant-music Mongolbord Surfingturd.
New stuff this month, including the rather astounding new work by
Lord High Empruss Celia the Fuckin' Lamp, this time exploring world music from forest-dwellers. There is a reason
Taiga took two years to complete, as much of it recorded on location amongst various dense natural woods all across Canada, with traditional musicians.
That brings us up to 29 releases. So to celebrate 30, we decided to put together a rather unique little retrospective, collecting a huge array of little musical curios for all our fans.
And if that's not enough, it's finally time for the new album from
Plague Techtonics. The title is self-explanatory, the sound, irony.
Oh, and if you're still not quite satisfied after those two major releases, maybe that's because you were waiting for the latest collection of fresh sounds captured out of thin air by the
Plastik Oblong Orkestry? Well you're in luck you funky mothers. Taking on a new psychedelia-inflection,
POO throw every whacked-out idea at the wall, and now that wall is covered in hot steamy new
POO music. If you see what I mean.
Whew, all this new music is exhausting.
Tie a ribbon round the old oak tree,
Quentin Uderick Iain Phong

The record explores and celebrates the vast panorama of Canada's boreal forest regions and aboriginal cultures, incorporating elements of western and traditional musics, with a breathtaking bedrock of environmental sound. To record this album, the band spent two years touring Canada studying, performing and recording this music. Many elements of these recordings were produced on location.
3xLP, limited edition run of 400 in a beautiful hardback book format featuring landscape painting and photography from the band's recording tour. Standard edition available thereafter. All LPs in Forest green.

13. Child of Sunday – The Last Saturday Ape Heads to the Mall With a Concealed Shotgun (2:16)Available on CD only, this compilation celebrates, and is, our 30th ever release. Rather than just picking our favourites from our various releases, we asked each of our artists to produce something unique for us. What we got in return amazed us.
This collection includes previously unreleased material from almost all of our artists, ranging from radical re-interpretations of existing material to unique collaborations.
MGS provide some of the fruits of their worst-kept-secret collaboration with Lobedoctor himself, from
Lobedoctor MD, while
Strongarmed Colostomy Joe sent us an absurdly dense five-minute collage containing elements of seemingly all of his previous work. Our personal highlight though has to be the short lofi electronica outburst provided by non-musicians label visual designer
Neil Gord, and web guru
Andrew Eamonola. It's especially interesting, because we never even asked them for music...
This compilation serves as a taster for the label's music, while containing some genuine value for our existing fans.
Single-sleeve Half-price CD available now..

This is the sound of metallic decay and a dark reflection of the post-industrial condition.

14. Sleeping In the Fish Pan Such as a Fish Drummer Flam Beat Scam (17:02)POO returns with The Crawdad Takes Command, a sharp turn in their sound, towards a Melvins-esque slow and low grimy rock format, twinged with dark paranoid psychedelia.

For this recording, drummer Alain Francesco has removed cymbals from his kit entirely creating a distinctive primitive sound.
