Rarity: Brand new solo radiation from Mike Connelly of Wolf Eyes, Hair Police et al on Mike Bernstein of Double Leopards' imprint. Looped conveyor belts of tiny metal tracks are punctured by rattlesnake tones and steel blades of stumpy Morse code while fleets of black, tattooed helicopters come to a sticky halt in clouds of thick, flashing boo. Comes with a great full-colour printed cover by Maya Miller of Double Leopards and bonus sticker. Edition circa 200.

2012 solo album from Mike Connelly of Wolf Eyes, Birth Refusal et al’s solo project: Connelly has been on a comparative roll recently, with recent Gods Of Tundra releases seeing him push out into a more focussed and low-key exploration of post-Noise basement hypnotics. Dawn Undefeated continues the trend with a series of minimal works for synthesizer and guitar possessed of an almost classical arc and grace. Connelly has definitely been listening to a lot of Hermann Nitsch’s organ and harmonium drone works of late, as there’s a similarly degraded cosmic/devotional edge to his playing here alongside aspects of Conrad Schnitzler’s more gothic work, as on Gelb, for instance. Some of the brokedown piano work. has the dusty bedroom feel of early Richard Youngs but its bracketed throughout by distant thundercracks of electronics and grainy nightmare tones that touch on American slasher movie themes as much as pastoral English minimalism. Either way, this is another giant step for Connelly and a major solo work.
