Great, did already listen several times, better than most tape releases I ever bought, but still not sold out? Shame, you should try to change that! I hear no real jazz here, but PSYCH... ;)

I LOVE this tape. Deeply trippy, well put together. Feels intimate and spacious in turns. Sophisticated, noisy jazz-punk. One of my favorite releases so far this year. No filler despite the substantial length.
Favorite track: For Balkaar / Back in Baltimore.

Demo / Album / Live / Mixtape
Documenting two years’ worth of crammed housebound recordings, from our first jam living together, all the way through to the throes of the coronavirus pandemic; SNUTCH is a (de/re)constructed celebration of collective noise, with all the mistakes left where they belong. Captured moments of us repeating ourselves until we've forgotten what we're playing have been cut-up, left alone, sped-up, feedback abused, overdubbed, looped, and layered; until nothing remains but the eternally unintended.
We would have liked to have been able to bring you this music in person, who knows maybe it will happen someday soon. In the meanwhile, we hope this record scratches some kind of itch.
Special thanks to everyone who helped bring this album to life, especially the lovely people featured within these recordings who may or may not know they are amongst the ruckus. And to our neighbors, sorry for all the noise. It was all necessary.
Naivety Over Virtuosity. Process/Protest/Progress.

Mark namechecks several Richard Morgan novels in this one. Just a list of four titles. I've not read em fr a while but the verses might even be plots of them. Have to check. RIP Mark, anyway. eldudowski
Inspired by the grim absurdities of the here and now, the Chicago post-punks power through their fourth album with a primal urgency. Bandcamp Album of the Day May 24, 2021
Brothers Rickard and Robert Lindblom expand their angular approach to instrumental noise rock, working in kraut, jazz, and drone. Bandcamp New & Notable May 12, 2021
Never get tired of watching GNOD live. a ferocious blend of feedback, astonishing riffing, bleeding guitars and feedback so aggressive you have to take a step back. This great album is slightly more experimental though! jonezyboy
