USR #11: Kaleidoscope Death, Digital Dingoes, & Periscope Breath- "Memory Disposal Pearl Liquor Plus"



This just be Kaleidoscope Death's most schizophrenic release and maybe the most professional (though that thankfully still leaves PLENTY of room).  Comprised of one person's 3 solo projects this cassette covers post-punk, electro (almost) pop, improv. noise, and whatever else.
This album was recorded in the transition of moving…side one recorded in Greensboro, NC and side two recorded in Baltimore, MD.
Cassettes are limited, so act fast!!!

Kaleidoscope Death- RestOfTheDrumTracks/ DeadDrum




USR #5 (Staton Embassy Cassette) is a bit delayed (but not for much longer!), so USR #6 bumps ahead!
The latest from Kaleidoscope Death is almost more like two E.P.s than one album.
KD tends to record drum tracks in bulk due to lack of drum set or rehearsal space, so side one ("RestOfTheDrumTracks") uses the remaining tracks after the Normal Time EP, split with Ivan the Tolerable, and various compilation exclusives.  Go figure the longer and slower ones were saved for last, but this allowed KD to continue on the path of constant experimentation, while staying somewhat the same.
"DeadDrum" is drum-less by default, though a few tracks use percussion from an old keyboard.

30 minute cassette with download code, lyric sheet, and random stuffings
Limited to only 25 copies!

Periscope Breath- Schwalbe Messerschitt


So yep, another tape of noisy guitar sounds best suited for background music (not the best music to listen to small samples, better to play the whole thing and focus on something else)...and I recently started a bandcamp for Periscope Breath, and rather than this band dominating the release roster for the label, P-Breath is breaking out with "pay what you want" AKA free downloads there and super limited editions of 10 cassettes per album ($6 including shipping in US, others write first).
If by small chance you're into this stuff, check the bandcamp every few months, there will very likely be another tape.

Ivan the Tolerable/ Kaleidoscope Death Split Cassette: Uuhngreh Schpuggenuh Records #3



Uuhngreh Schpuggenuh is very happy to announce the split release, with Ack! Ack! Ack! Records, between Ivan the Tolerable (Middlesbrough, UK) and Kaleidoscope Death (Greensboro, NC, USA), limited to 50 copies from either label...comes with download code and everything.
Ivan the Tolerable is the relentlessly prolific (and somehow always REALLY fucking good) solo project of Oli Heffernan, from the equally prolific/great Year of Birds...and many Ivan songs end up on Y.O.B. records.  This release is even more direct than previous Ivan releases, using traditional rock band instrumentation (guitar, bass, drums, vocals) than past releases with drum machines and keyboards  (not that there's anything wrong with that!).  Full throttle intelligent but not too brainy post-punk-garage blasts with hooks galore burning through 12 tracks in under 15 minutes.  Anyone into amped up rock should be into this...
Kaleidoscope Death doubles the instrumentation of the past few efforts (few things are more baffling to KD than having to fill 8 tracks) and the songs get a little longer (7 in under 15 minutes), one almost gets up to 3 minutes!  Again, lo-fi post-punk-garagish clang and meandering vocals are predominant.
Go figure these bands met on a Country Teasers fan page and are both enormous fans of the Fall and many many others in that vein.  Trans-Atlantic music nerd super split!

Kaleidoscope Death- Bez Konca



It seems only fair that by posting other people's work for free, that I should post my own shit for free as well. I know that people are searching for the other stuff and not this, but it's the thought that counts, right?
Anyway, Kaleidoscope Death is my solo project and this is the 10th album. It was all recorded on 4-track (no bouncing...I seem to love working under limitations) and is definitely lo-fi (can't help it).
If you've looked at a lot of the posts on this blog you'll see a lot of the influences: The Fall, The Rebel/Country Teasers, The Monks, The Breeders, Pere Ubu, Lee Hazlewood, King Uszniewicz, etc. and whether it sounds anything like that is quite debatable.
I know this is far from setting the record straight as far as lost royalties go, but a little something is better than nothing (?).
Let me know what you think (even if you hate it).
