Three Legged Race - Living Order (Tone Filth, 2006)
Hive Mind - Eidolic & Opaque c20 Tone Filth, TF 49, 2009 - edition of 100
Another Hive Mind tape, another excellent looking release from the Tone Filth label. Some throbbing, some pink noise. This one has some locomotion to it before it dissolves into TV static. I think I’m listening to side B first. Fade out, tape player clicks. This recording has more movement than most Hive Mind releases. It churns, it feels like it has a direction and that direction is - forward. It drives and shifts. Not bad.
Tombi - Forest of Three Trees c20 Tone Filth TF41, 2006, edition of 103 Tone Filth always put out very nice, professional looking tapes. So professional, he was inclined to use many beiges, “office colors” and even a Times-New-Romanesque font, as though this tape label had its own office job. The song titles of this release all have a similar quality words like haze, cloud, amber, fog, and so on. Perhaps I should just say that yeah - that’s what this sounds like. A reaching out type distorted ambience; perhaps even outdoorsy? Yet also artificial like shitty office lighting. What does that even mean? I don’t know.... Electronics, distortion etc, etc etc etc and so on. Whatever gear this guy used he used on both sides... it sounds like someone who is really into one particular pedal and uses it on everything. This tape is its own haze, rather consistent... but it’s not distinct or special enough to me to warrant keeping. I’ll pass it along, someone else will probably enjoy it more.
Justin Meyers Runs Tone Filth Records & Tapes
I (Tom) used to collaborate with Justin under the Glass Organ moniker. We put out a couple cassettes, some LPs, and a CD. All stuff I'm pretty proud of. His label is solid in its own right too, releasing quality recs by people like Three Legged Race, C. Spencer Yeh, and others. This is a podcast from the folks at Free Form Freakout & Foxy Digitalis featuring a live performance & interview with Justin as well as some selections from the Tone Filth catalog.
