about
Montreal’s AIDS Wolf and SKiN GRAFT Records are proud to announce the first ever CD releases of two of the band’s most elusive LPs - originally issued by the legendary label Lovepump United (Genghis Tron, HEALTH, Child Abuse) - the “Very Friendly” remix album and the “Ma Vie Banale Avant-Garde” double LP.
--------------------------------------
AIDS WOLF “Very Friendly”
--------------------------------------
Immediately following their third album, AIDS WOLF released one of their most unique records in an already singular discography - a 12” bringing together some of the most important noise musicians of the past decade to remix their cover of Throbbing Gristle‘s “Very Friendly”.
The results are more visceral and bizarre than could ever be imagined: Nightmarish kraut conjured by The Flying Luttenbachers’ Weasel Walter; sparse, terrifying soundscapes from Wolf Eyes’ John Olson; searing noise and auto-tune from Baltimore lab rats Nautical Almanac; manic, pounding rhythms from Jason Forrest; and alienating, reverb-drenched skree from Cleveland’s Emeralds. “Very Friendly” is a one of a kind experience that most certainly does justice to Throbbing Gristle’s bold legacy.
Note: The unremixed cover version appears on the AIDS WOLF “March to the Sea” LP/CD.
“Yes, it bears some surface resemblance to the No Wave bands
of New York’s late ‘70s, and yes, it’s also quasi-Beefheartian,
but this simmeringly ugly-beautiful non-categorizable thing
that is the band is like an object lesson in modern, progressive,
painfully pure music.” - LA WEEKLY

Sonic Citadel
by Lightning Boltsupported by 5 fans who also own “Very Friendly”
While Fantasy Empire was dare I say it catchy, Citadel is a relentless fuckin pummelling; A lot of this album (particularly Air Conditioning) feels like a demented riff on golden-era Anthrax, while Husker Don't (fuck yeah whichever Brian named that) may be the best reproduction of the live Lightning Bolt experience I've ever heard, with waves of full sensory shutdown just smashing into you repeatedly like bodies in the pit..; basically this album gave me tinnitus and PTSD and I'm not mad.

Remove Your Skin Please

The last track is painfully amazing. Really cool way of blending noise, rock and metal. First and third track lose me a lil bit tho, 8/10
