LOOMER AND MILLIPEDE CASSETTES ARE FINALLY HERE!!!!

 These have been at the press for a bit, but they are finally here and turned out great!!! Here's the details!

LOOMER - "CEILING" (FR-10)
 

 Loomer's "Ceiling" album (FR-10)was originally released on CD in Australia back in 2010. We here at FR felt that an album as great as this deserved another pressing (as did Lost Race Records who just pressed the LP). Fans of bands such as Sonic Youth, Unwound, The Jesus and Mary Chain and Loop would be wise to check this out!A track by track review via Messed And Noise

MILLIPEDE "THE LOWER WORLD" (FR-12)

  You may remember Millipede from the split cassette with Neon Viking Funeral we put out a while back. If you foolishly didn't follow his releases since then, you missed out on the incredible "Realms" album (available from Dead Pilot Records) and the second volume of his split series with Brian Grainger. Luckily, we here at Failed Recordings can get you back on the right path with our release of the newest Millipede album, "The Lower World" (FR-13).
 Once again armed with his arsenal of guitars, pedals and tape loops, our hero once again travels to the center of the blissed out, shoegazing noise void.to create a sonic map just for you. It's dangerous to go alone! Take this.

STREAM THE ENTIRE ALBUM VIA MILLIPEDES BANDCAMP

"MILLIPEDE is the project of Joseph Davenport, who primarily uses heavily treated guitars to create thick, abrasive, abstract hailstorms of sound...motifs and melodies emerge to listeners who allow themselves to drown in the relentlessly swirling sound pools." - Chattanooga Pulse

"Overload layering for a variety of nerdly senses" - The Wire

"Scathing & grating guitar harshness, a Neil Young worshipper getting high on Skullflower, My Bloody Valentine recording on the surface of the sun" - Anti Gravity Bunny


 Both cassettes are limited to 100 copies. Both contain pro pressed covers and cassettes.

 As always, distros please get in touch if you are interested in copies

MAY UPDATE!

First up, we just got our copies of the downpour./THETAN split cassette.

"downpour. is from Texas. They like playing burly ass power violence and don't like you. Thetan are from our home state of Tennessee. If you dig drums, distortion, feedback, samples,pissed vocals and killer bass parts, they gotcha covered."
This is a co-release with our bros at Anti-Coperate Music http://www.audio-rat-poison.com

Thetan

Also, for the next week or two, we will be having a HUGE sale on all our releasses (except the downpour./THETAN tape). If there's something you have been wanting to get, now is the best time to do so.Check it out here.

 In other news, the Millipede and Loomer cassettes both turned in to the manufacturer last night. Expect nothing but total bliss when both are finally in your grease burn covered hands.Check these links if you don't believe me.

The SE Tenn noise comp is still gonna happen. In fact, it may now have a huge release show to coincide with its release. More details TBA.

Plans for 2013

 As 2012 came to close, it turned out that we had a decent amount of  releases planned for the upcoming (now present) year. Below you will find info on these releases. The sooner we get them out, the more we will plan. Here's hoping we can get our shit together to release the following first though.

• The East Tennessee noise compilation is STILL happening. We had some major issues with our printer, but now everything is OK. Looking at a March release (hopefully)

• Next  we are very pleased to announce that we will be handling the US pressing of the debut album by Australia's LOOMER. When I first head their album "Ceiling" I was blown away! I could hear elements of bands such as Sonic Youth, Unwound, and Loop, just to name a few. Loomer is by no means just a mix and match of influences. They definitely have their own thing going for them. We are working on the layout for the cassette version now and hope to have it at the plant ASAP. These will be pro pressed and limited to 100 (as most of our stuff is).

•  Also coming up is the cassette version of the new SHADOW OF THE DESTROYER lp.This will be our first Black Metal release since the first tape we ever did (for the almighty Argentinum Astrum) and is a co release with our bros at INHERENT RECORDS (who are also doing the LP pressing). I've heard some of the new tracks and they fucking crush! Click the link above to get an example of their older stuff (which also fucking crushes). These will be pro pressed and limited to 100 (as most of our stuff is).

• Also in the works is a cassette only release from Chattanooga's own melodic death titans UNSPOKEN TRIUMPH. This is still in the planning stages, but I've heard some of the new songs live, and they pretty much kick all of the available ass. More info TBA

Besides these, there are others in the works. Everything from Noise to IDM will hopefully brandish the  FAILED RECORDINGS mark of shame by the end of the year. Thanks for all the support so far, hope you are ready for what we have in store!
