M.R. is a stage name of Matt Rabin which is itself a stage name. Previously making music as Green Man Blues Band, this new name, like many others, signifies a new musical direction. One one hand, he is distorting the guitars a little bit and adding drum machines, and on the other, he is shedding the structure and sound of the blues (a shedding he had already started) to make gentler, folkier tunes that still pack a menacing punch. I truly believe that this is what Charles Manson would sound like if he was making music now. Also present are shades of Ugly Casanova and Devendra Banhart.

Comes with a free download.

MU01 Ophibre/Brian Grainger split #3 C44

BLACK SIDE: OPHIBRE - THE ASCENDING TORQUE AURA sample
BLUE SIDE: BRIAN GRAINGER - THE DESCENDING CRYSTALLINE HAND sample
$6 plus shipping

I don't know much about Ophibre, except that he is from Boston, he puts out some deep layered conceptual drones and he is friends with Brian Grainger, who has been making music as Parallax, Vhom, Coppice Halifax, Milieu, etc. for what seems like forever. Black Side is like a machine dying, Blue Side is like a planet coming to life. Perfect for driving (during the day), studying, meditation/prayer, or for putting on at a winding-down party at your house where you want everyone to leave or fall asleep (that is a good thing).

On handsome purple tinted cassette with spray-painted labels.

Comes with free download! Just enter the URL that you find in the tape and enter the passcode. We ripped the tape so you don't have to. Two copies for the price of one!

Also available at 52.5 Records at 561 King Street, Charleston, SC . You might even be able to buy one from Brian Grainger or Ophibre themselves, or me and Ryan if you see us in person.
