    Gender Trouble ‎– Chokehair


    Gender Trouble ‎– Chokehair
    Label: Dark Vinyl Records ‎– DV69
    Format: CD
    Country:Germany
    Released: 11 Nov 2016
    Style: Industrial, Techno, Noise

    Gender Trouble is a new project by R. Loren (Pyramids / Sailors With Wax Wings / White Moth) and Faith Malimba (Black Doll), along with guest collaborators including Kenneth Parker and Ashley Scott Jones, and vocal spots by Marissa Nadler, and Scout Pare Phillips. “Chokehair explores the much ignored / maligned / ignored genre of Harsh Noise Wall through the prism of noise, techno, and the spectacle. Gender Trouble is static and synth and more static, waves and waves of static, and rejection of music and rejection of nihilism, but with a decent beat you can (but won’t) dance to. Indebted equally to The Rita and Tiesto, I feel confident that if Little Richard was conceived in 1990, this is the music he’d be making today”. 6-panel digisleeve.

    Zos Kia / Coil ‎– Transparent




    Zos Kia / Coil ‎– Transparent

    Label: Cold Spring ‎– CSR230CD
    Format: CD, Album, Reissue, Remastered
    Country: UK
    Released: 09 Jan 2017
    Style: Industrial, Experimental

    ZOS KIA was formed by John Gosling (MEKON), John Balance (COIL) and Min – with guest Peter ‘Sleazy’ Christopherson (THROBBING GRISTLE). Their one and only album, Transparent, was released August 23rd 1983 in a cassette only edition on the now defunct Nekrophile label, Austria. They were the first released recordings of both COIL and ZOS KIA. It was reissued years later by COIL (Threshold House / Eskaton) in an edited edition. The entire recordings are now released on CD/vinyl for the first time and are completely remastered from the unedited tapes. Includes two previously unreleased bonus tracks by AKE (pre-ZOS KIA).

    The music on Transparent is genuinely unsettling and disturbing, with a more primal Industrial feel than the Coil album which followed; ‘Scatology’. An essential insight into the very early work of these extraordinary artists and an undeniable link between Coil and Throbbing Gristle.
