FTAM: The Label

After self releasing a few cd-rs and 3"s (with two 3"s on deck), I've decided to just go ahead and start a label of
my own, collecting what I do under this wonderful, all encompassing name. The label originally focused on 3" cdrs
and vinyl releases, but recently added cassettes and pro-pressed cds to the line up. The focus will be on highly
thematic works by artists that I enjoy (with a definite preference for those coming out of Milwaukee). I'm open to
hearing new artists, but please contact me first before just mailing off your "latest jams."

So, without further ado, here's what we got:

The second installment on FTAM from Wes Tank. Highly bizarre and textural hip hop atmospheres.

Locations
FTAM-027
3" cdr
False Flag- Metal Birds
Politically infused harsh noise wall from the man behind Pregnant Spore and the Rainbow Bridge label. Like the sounds of a protest distorted and played through an old AM radio.

Location

Bizarre modular synth. Short blasts of highly atmospherc tones.

Location

FTAM-024
2x3" cdr
Phoned Nil Trio- Big Time Weepers
An awkward combination of harsh blasts, tape hiss, and modular synth attack. Massively bizarre in the best way. Collaboration between Peter J Woods and the men behind Dan of Earth and Lucky Bone.

Location
No Image. OOPS. FTAM-023
2x3" cdr
Evolve/Wesley Charles Tank split
Two parts experimental hip hop, straight from the basement. Evolve brings his anarchist message while Tank wallows through the trenches of divorce.


Location
FTAM-022
4x3" cdr
Xiphoid Dementia- In The Land of the Living
Dark industrial drones, built from a stunning combination of synth work, found sounds and junk percussion.

Location
FTAM-021
3" cdr
Peter J Woods- Where We Belong
A static blast of HNW based power electronics followed by a meditation on swirling synths. Originally released as part of the 3x3" tour split with Instinct Control.

Location
FTAM-020
3" cdr
Instinct Control- Who We Are
Full on live circuit bending from the master of the tape machine circuit. Originally released as part of the 3x3" tour split with Peter J Woods.

Location
FTAM-019
3" cdr
Peter J Woods/Instinct Control
What We've Done
Collaboration between the two artists. Junk, lo-fi harsh noise and tape machin circuit manipulation. Originally released as part of the 3x3" tour split between the artists.

Location
FTAM-018
7" vinyl
Noveller- Wolf
Incredibly lush guitar drones from the Brooklyn based artist. Her first (and, to date, only) offering on the 7" format.

Location
FTAM-017
3" cdr
Blessed Sacrifist- Timeless Losers
Highly introspective and emotionally raw harsh noise/power electronics from the Milwaukee resident. Low synth tones give way to overpowering walls. Member of straight edge PE group xALLxFORxTHISx and doom/sludge outfit Slob Donovan.

Location
FTAM-016
3" cdr
KBD- Candid
Stark and powerful electro-acoustic/free jazz musings from the Toledo duo. Experimental percussion meets bizarre guitar and piano work.

Lucky Bone- Non-hypnotic Catatonic
Cassette tape orchestras, built from the bizarre field recordings found at a pet expo (amongst other things). Recommended for Dilloway fans.

Location
FTAM-012
3"cdr
Realicide- Raw Skeletal Knuckles
Highly political digital hardcore/gabber the group has always been known for. Combination of live material and studio recordings. Includes a cover of The Mob.

Location
FTAM-011
12" Vinyl
Zebras/E=MC Hammer split
One part hyped up, Devo-inspired synth punk. One part totally stupid Zorn-inspired post-rock. Worth it for the awesome black/blue marbeled vinyl and the completely dumb back side of the record
