Coming as transparent vinyl in a screenprinted limited edition of 200 pieces. This release contains 7 tracks by grmmsk from helsinki / finland. stretched in time haunted voices from the caribbian diaspora tumbling through misty and wet streets of baltic shores. drones of wire spring reverbs meet halftimed doom dub. beside unreleased tracks there are some versions of tracks released before on grmmsk own imprint totes format on cassette.
Pressed on transparent vinyl in a hand printed translucent cover, it conceptualizes the album’s title “ONE WORLD – nowhere to hide”. When the idea of UNITY has failed with the result of a world that is increasingly ruled by a hegemony of fear and control, escape into something J.G. Ballard has been calling INNER SPACE, seems imminent. But what happens there? Here’s what: DOOMDUB! Dystopian versions of a sound, that has been associated with glaring sunshine of the caribbean before, is now dragged through the dirty snow flanking the ring-highway circling hellsinki.
notes from the cover:All sounds on this recording have been made with selfmade electronic + electromechanic generators + manipulators. The voicesamples have been ripped from other sources. These have been recorded + edited in metsään studio in Nuuksio.LIVING HUNGRY has been released on the [we saw human guinea pigs explode] benefit compilation for the Simonn community, a London based homeless support group, released by cutwail records in 2015, support the project and download from www.cutwail.bandcamp.comBUILDING WALLS is inspired by recent border-politics, not only in europe. after fear tactics have been effectively used on wide parts of the population, the masses follow their leaders in demanding what they have been offered: to shut themselves in + others out.nationalism + racism go hand in hand. we strongly oppose both, plus all states, (not only the hate-mongering postfascist ones described here).We believe to [make room] is not achieved by building walls. We demand space + freedom of movement for all.
Brand new split tape by Grmmsk and Mental Hell (aka LFO Demon).
handstamped white c-19 chrome tape cassette in white snap-case with transparent fold-out cover, numbered edition of 50 copies. --- After GRMMSK and MENTAL HELL (aka LFO DEMON) played the fog-screened FROZEN BABYLON show in berlin's BEI RUTH in 2013, they now provide DOOMDUB variations on each side of this split-tape. GRMMSK's crawling versions / mutations of classic reggae tunes collide with the menacing vapours of MENTAL HELL's bass heavy exhaustions, resulting in a half-hardened slag-landfill oozing from the speakers...Welcome to the hostile world of GHETT OKIDZ.
