Stunned no. 105


Minutiae Plane Sight c42 (Stunned no. 105) —out of stock

Students of the trickster and servants of the goddess, Minutiae carve a lit path through the nocturnal forest canopy on ‘Plane Sight’. Manifesting a song cycle intending to reflect the harmonious web of plant, animal, and mineral energies, they hypnotize the serpents who guard the gates of celestial imagination. Entering tribemind with vision cleared of physical impurity, the trio simmers until dawn, entranced in resonant tones generated by guitars, percussion, and salvaged electronics. Limited edition of 111 pro-dubbed & imprinted c42 tapes w/ double-sided jcard and insert.

Super MineralsThe Hoax c54 (Stunned no. 104) —out of stock

“We took our most recent family vacation to the Year 2020. Thankfully, someone remembered to pack the audio recorder. We documented all that we could in the little time we had, trust us. ‘The Hoax’ is what we escaped with, drug-mule style. Craziest trip ever. America, you have no idea.” — Super Minerals, 2011. Limited edition of 111 pro-dubbed & imprinted c54 tapes w/ double-sided color jcard.

Rogue CopYou're About as Romantic as a Pair of Handcuffs c58 (Stunned no. 103) —out of stock

This debut cassette from Seattle’s Rogue Cop rips it up from a hundred different directions with electric guitar being the sole cause of all the excitement. Fusing semi-calculated loops of red hot plink-plonk with agitated riffs dipped in booze, an entirely original stance to the six-string is fleshed out in under an hour. It may blindside you as it did us — totally unprepared for its wild methods and funny way of getting us to root for yet another cop gone rogue. Limited edition of 111 pro-dubbed & imprinted c58 tapes w/ double-sided jcard and insert.

XiphiidaeEqual Phesance c36 (Stunned no. 102) —out of stock

When ‘Equal Phesance’ was first issued in 2008 as a Housecraft CDr limited to 60 copies, it’s maker had this to say: "Seemingly hidden in a sedimentary layer of the collective subconscious, is the ever-more-detectable hum of an arriving world, calling for receptive ears and accessible memory banks upon which to unfurl its banner." Stunned Records has always found ‘Equal Phesance’ to be one of the more challenging and unique slices from the sturdy Xiphiidae back catalog. Now re-issued on cassette for the first time in an expanded edition size with all new artwork, it’s high time to give this jewel a closer listen. In the few years since this deep-ambient dream was shared with us, the hum of the arriving world has nearly become a roar. As mere observers to an annihilative Mystery, we joyously invite its unfurling here at the threshold of a new year. Limited edition of 111 pro-dubbed & imprinted c36 tapes w/ double-sided color jcard.
