I opened up Merzbow's yellow hyper balls on Adobe Audition, singled out the most treble heavy section, amplified it ten fold, layered it with a similarly volumed bass frequency and left it on an endless repeat till I gave myself tinitus.

Wooden Wand aka WAND aka James Jackson Toth - new albums, CMJ pics & The Jescoes
photos by Kyle Dean Reinford, woods by Andrew Frisicano DOWNLOAD: WAND - Arriving (MP3) DOWNLOAD: James Jackson Toth - Nothing Hides (MP3) DOWNLOAD: James Jackson Toth - Doreen (MP3) ![]() Last year, the axman known as Wooden Wand (a.k.a. James Jackson Toth) shed his moniker for the Rykodisc-released Waiting in Vain. Also as James Jackson Toth, he played last year's CMJ, with a stop at the Brooklyn Vegan day party at Pianos (that's where the pictures in this post come from). Now, in early '09, he's back with two albums under the name of WAND: the first, Born Bad, will be co-released by People In A Position To Know Records and Wand's Mad Monk label on March 31st, in limited-edition, LP-only style - "Only 500 copies, repress unlikley." Then, Hard Knox or, "Are You Sure Hank Jr. Done it This Way?", a disc of demos and home recordings, will come out on Ecstatic Peace, May 26th, 2009. And all signs point to Toth's next offering, a just-recorded group album, introducing another name to the mix: new band The Jescos (feat. "Timothy Bracy, formerly of The Mendoza Line along with members of alt-country faves Glossary and We Were The States"). Read about the band's recording adventures on his Toth Tells the Truth blog. Toth remarked about his January 25th Daytrotter session on his Myspace blog: "[The session's] exclusive covers of tunes by Baptist Generals, Aerosmith, Charlie Walker and Roy Buchanan were recorded in the midst of tour on the occasion of my 30th birthday, aka the worst day of my entire life (so far). Dig you the dispatch from oblivion. And the cute cartoon of me looking all lean and clean. While you're there, check out some other Daytrotter sessions. The TK Webb and Damien Jurado ones are especially terrific."More BV CMJ pics, the WAND album track list, and a Wooden Wand video, below... wooden wand - Live at Fools Foundation, Sacramento 10/13/06 ![]() ![]() WAND - Hard Knox or, "Are You Sure Hank Jr. Done it This Way?" track list 01.

Fresh Squeezed: Wand
jason - Posted on 17 March 2009 ![]() There was a time when you heard the phrase "home recordings" you would become a little leery of what you were purchasing. However, I think a lot of that changed when Bon Iver took over the scene with his debut collection of what were essentially home recordings. I have also been drawn to the raw, intimate nature of the a more stripped down collection. So naturally I was ecstatic (pun intended) when I received the forthcoming collection of demos, outtakes, and home recordings from James Jackson Toth (aka Wooden Wand, aka Wand). Most of the recordings on Hard Knox (Ecstatic Peace, May 26th) were done at his then-home in Knoxville, TN between October 2002 and January of 2007, just prior to the retirement of the Wooden Wand name. Unlike what you may be expecting these are complete songs, complete thoughts, and when grouped together become their own album. Actually they become more than just an album, this is a view into the hidden sounds and thoughts of one of the more important figures in independent music today. In his letter to the press Wand had this to say, "I stand behind these songs as “snapshots” and enjoy them despite their many flaws. I hope you do, too."

DENNIS TYFUS SKATE DECK + T SHIRT + (5) NEW LP'S
![]() DENNIS TYFUS DESIGNED SKATE DECK and TSHIRT Designed by Dennis Tyfus, this skate deck was produced in collaboration with Shut Skates NYC. Grind it, hang it or just be the first on your block to ride a three-eyed cat! The pictures speak for themselves, this board so obviously rules. MORE INFO ABOUT THE DECK The shirt is another work of ARRRT from our favorite Belgian Psycho Dennis Tyfus. In celebration of the Skate deck offering- Dennis went jagged on us to produce this angsty puke face. Unisexy American Apparel softy T. MORE INFO ABOUT THE SHIRT (5) KILLER LP RELEASES http://www.ecstaticpeace.com/resize.php?image=store/images/mouthus_divisionals_400.jpg&max_height=60&max_widt h=60 MOUTHUS Divisionals LP E#34c - edition of 400 After releasing the first Mouthus LP years back Ecstatic Peace returns to unleash another beast by this always amazing duo. Brian Sullivan (gtr/vox) and Nate Nelson (perc) connect here with a focused, thematic hayride through long tone static and fried mind amp terror. Anyone following the arc and molten flow of Mouthus' last few LPs and CDs (on Our Mouth, Troubleman Unlimited, Olde English Spelling Bee, Music Fellowship, Important, Three Lobed, Weird Forest and the exemplary Saw A Halo on Load) will be surely intrigued by Divisionals as it is Mouthus at their sweetest. Almost. Just when you're drifting through the electric skies you find the Earth reaching into your soul pulling you back to a primordial foreverness. A charming action. MORE INFO ABOUT THIS RELEASE http://www.ecstaticpeace.com/resize....0&max_width=60 RICHARD RAMIREZ & MSBR Negative / Offensive (A Tribute to The New Blockaders) LP E#85e - edition of 400 A project in celebration of the work and influence of mysterious UK (anti) artist noise outfit The New Blockaders as constructed by Houston, Texas black whips and male-on-male noise pioneer Richard Ramirez (Black Leather Jesus et al) and the sadly departed Japanese harsh noise maestro Koji Tano (MSBR). A mail collaboration where each artist would send source materials to be decomposed by each other. Fantastic walls of brutal shard skum splatter taken to points of demented anguish and resultant cosmic implosion/explosion. Exquisite cover art by Stan Reed of Blue Sabbath Black Cheer. MORE INFO ABOUT THIS RELEASE http://www.ecstaticpeace.com/resize....0&max_width=60 SERVILE SECT Stratospheric Passenger LP E#13d This is an LP issue of a limited CD Servile Sect issued in 2007 on the Sounds of Battle and Souvenir Collecting label. Based in and around Humboldt, CA Servile Sect are the true investigation of psychedelic dimensionality. "... bizarre, and hauntingly beautiful slab of alien black metal. Not sure what else to call it, it's definitely black metal, but it's weirdly blissy and electronic sounding, more like Alcest or Amesoeurs than old school grimnity, but even then, it's still weirder, like it must have been played by robots or insects, or some massive black metal machine assembled beneath the surface of some mysterious moon. You can almost picture some mechanical monstrosity, pieces of human flesh, various organs, somehow built into the machine's inner workings, everything grinding and sparking all in a Herculean effort to produce this glorious droning buzzing blackness. A cloud of black buzz that will eventually drift through space and time swallowing any planets in its path, and extinguishing all life it encounters. Heck, even the cover of the record is the view from some sort of alien lander, looking out and the cold dead ground of some red planet, as if any minute some huge horrible black beast will lurch into view over the horizon, dashing all of our ideas about said planet being uninhabited. The sound of Servile Sect is epic, and majestic, the guitars glistening sheets of sound, the surface of that sound peppered with bits of electronic shimmer, causing the long drawn out riffery to reflect and refract, tiny little sonic events occurring every second, the surface alive and constantly squirming and changing color, but viewed from afar, it's simply a blown out undulating buzz. Those guitars are digitized and processed, spread into thick smears of warm glowing whir, the riffs barely discernible beneath the constant roar of Servile Sect's sonic swirl The vocals add just more buzz to the mix, howling and wailing, but stretched into streaks of sonic violence, and drums, assuming there are any, are buried, festering beneath layer after layer of crushing guitar fuzz, emitting noxious rhythms that don't so much blast or pound as they do explode into tiny squalls of still more buzz. Occasionally, the buzz abates, leaving the guitar to sway lazily, the notes ringing out, the guitars lurking in the distance, but it's never long before the lilting melody is engulfed by a colossal buzzing roar, and the band locks into another extended psychfuzzblackdrone. Another out of left field immediate AQ black bliss classic. Fans of the new wave of droned out dreamy metal, black and otherwise: Nadja, Angelic Process, Ameseours, Alcest, etc. will dig this, as will dronelords who like their drones heavy and loud and yeah, a bit metallic.." -Aquarius Records MORE INFO ABOUT THIS RELEASE |

http://www.ecstaticpeace.com/resize....0&max_width=60 MUTANT APE Erotic Yorkshire LP E#85g - edition of 200 Mutant Ape is the insane noise project by Yorkshire, UK resident George Proctor. George runs the Turgid Animal label, which since 2005 has been the go-to place for harsh noise, power electronics and other demented spuzz releasing over 500 CDs, CDRS, cassettes, LPs, 10"s, 7"s etc. He has been releasing Mutant Ape sounds wherever and whenever establishing his classic yet contemporary noise/horror vision of lust and spectacle as one of the premier scum artists of the last decade. Erotic Yorkshire is Mutant Ape at its most corrosive delivering from track to track occult ambience to skin shredding power drug electronics. All bookended by the demented and misogynist rants of Jamie Gillis. Artwork by the fractured mind of Tisbor. Disgust, depression, defilement and demotion are all here for those of you who demand only the best in carnal crud. MORE INFO ABOUT THIS RELEASE http://www.ecstaticpeace.com/resize....0&max_width=60 MENSTRUATION SISTERS Samantha, My Wack Panther LP E#4d - edition of 400 "Unlike anything book or animal, the Menstruation Sisters destroy wholly" - Thurston Moore, Sonic Youth. Menstruation Sisters hail from Sydney, Australia. Basically a duo comprised of wildboy poet ululationist and guitar strangler Nick Kamiussis (aka Rizili aka Riz) and OZ wonderkid Oren Ambarchi (Sunn 0)), Burial Chamber, Grave Temple, John Zorn etc etc), and sometimes aided by Brendan Walls and others. Their first LP, Ma, was in an edition of 100 copies, all of which had razor blades, balloons and hypodermic needles applied to one side. As an objet d'art it became a highly desirable item for noise believers (and was recently reissued - sans appliques - by No Fun Productions). Every once in a while an LP drops out of nowhere only to further confuse whomever is fortunate enough to grip it. 2005 saw the Holy Africa 7" on White Denim, in 2001 the infamous Goog LP on Saucerlike, in 1999 the Dead At Slugs LP on Menlo Park and in 1998 the Triple Bogey On A Ma Par Hole 3 X 7". All of these are essential documents of one of the most bizarre, genuinely inspired free time outfits working the avant-mind body love/noise worship axis today. This newest LP has been patiently waiting to be released for the last few years, initially a multi-label project instigated by Menlo Park and now fully realized by Ecstatic Peace. Long a champion of Menstruation Sisters after witnessing an out-of-nowhere set at NYC's legendary lost underground experimental oasis The Cooler in the late 90s, Thurston Moore invited the Sisters to open for Sonic Youth in Sydney shortly thereafter and, as inspired and weird as the NYC set was, the Sonic Youth gig was perhaps one of the most astounding question marks of music the seasoned Moore had ever experienced. So we present you Samantha, My Wack Panther - a new and beautiful peek into the edge of musical menstruation. MORE INFO ABOUT THIS RELEASE That's it for now. Thanks for the support. Tell us how we can help. |

Lotsa Catching Up To Do March 24th, 2009http://www.johnagnello.com/phpThumb/...t-6.jpeg&w=300Where does the day go? Hello everyone, it's been a month or so since I've updated the site. Things have been rather topsy turvy in the land of Agnello. Work has been super busy and we're doing major renovations to our house. Bella is getting huge and Sharon is working her butt off. Where to start......... Well, middle February found me finishing the Dinosaur Jr. record. What a great record! Lotsa classic J shredding and he's a the top of his writing and singing game. I have many favs on this record and can't wait for it to come out. I have also seen the cover and it's a really cool picture. Pitchfork did a little video of us in the studio. It came out pretty cool and J and the band whipped out a version of Tarpit for the them. Here's the site and just search Dinosaur Jr. http://pitchfork.com/tv/ The record is coming out on Jagaguwar Records and Darius and Chris are great guys. In the end of February, me and J spent the day at Sterling Sound having the record mastered by the master of all mastering engineers, Greg Calbi. He pretty much nailed it and we walked away 99% done. The next 10 days found me taking an Atlanta to Greensboro to Jersey City weekend roadtrip to pick up a Baldwin Fun Machine (thanks Janet!) and a bunch of stuff that Sharon's aunt left us. And the weekend after that I bonded with baby Bella while Sharon partied with her sister/lovers in Miami! We all had a wonderful weekend and Bella was a freakin' angel for me. So the beginning of March brings a new project and a one off. The one off was a single re mix for my new favorite band, Grizzly Bear. Wow! I worked on the song, "Two Weeks" from their upcoming record and it is wonderful. Ed's got a great voice and he sings really wonderful. And the entire band sings back up that give me Beach Boy chills. It was a great day and Chris from the band hung out and we have a pizza party! The day after that session. I began doing pre production on my current record. The artist is Jemina Pearl. She was previously the singer in the band, "Be Your Own Pet". She is delightful and her voice is so powerful, it could knock you over. Together with John Easterly, her drummer/collaborator they have put together a records worth of material that will knock your socks off. We spent about ten days tweaking the arrangements and we are walking into the studio on Wednesday to start the record. And it will be a blast. From the demo's we did, I can tell you this will be a record that will rock, rage and pop from top to bottom. They are wonderful to work with already and give me much hope for the next generation of music. More news on this record as we go. |

The Wonderful Jemina Pearl March 25th, 2009http://www.johnagnello.com/phpThumb/...mina.jpg&w=300Kicking Ass At Water Music! As I speak, we are in the process of making Jemina's first solo record for Ecstatic Peace. We've been having a great time and the tracks are sounding great. John Eatherly has been playing the shit out of everything. He's sublime. Jemina is just starting her vocals and she is killing it. We started doing preproduction right before SXSW and then started tracking right after. We're pretty much at the mid point and we'll be wrapping up the record in early May. I'm very excited for people to hear this record. I haven't worked with an artist with her set of pipes since I worked with Cyndi Lauper. No shit! |
