Blood Stereo
Split
First split LP in a brand new series of collaborations, pairing artists
working on the fringes - or not at all. This first split pairs
Brighton's Blood Stereo's tape gonk with Hair & Treasure's farm life loops. Blood Stereo are Dylan Nyoukis and Karen Constance,
a British institution, the sound complete immersion for people who
don't immerse easily. Idiot twins Burchill and Slim may behave as though
they own Sussex, but Constance and Nyoukis are immune to their
surroundings, making livid e…
Guff Vout Mulch
The Smegma & Blood Stereo collab LP "Guff Vout Mulch" on Nashazphonehas finally landed. Old fashioned postal collab finished up in 2009, sweet printed colour sleeves and bonkers liner notes by the noise soulman John Olson.Good old fashioned Trans-Atlantic postal collaboration LP between Smegma and Blood Stereo, recorded in Brighton, Pasadena and Portland. The whole shebang was finished in 2009, but Cairo's Nashazphone label didn't think you dinks were ready for it then, now they reckon yo…
The Eight Thumbed Hand Serenades
Underground’s finest couple formed by Dylan Nyoukis and Karen Constance are here to delight us with a massive mind-hammering tape, originally out in a uber-limited 4xCS boxset on their own Chocolate Monk label. A fair where Muezzin Nyoukis will twist & pull your brains, a choir of voices praying, gargling & ooing, discomfort and unclear clatter all over. At some point you will find yourself in a damp swamp, two sticky beings calling each other (the mutant cricket here is Karen), a little slice o…
Blood Stereo – The Larval Tuning Fork (& Other Visions)
Massive new album in an edition of 300 copies from the duo of Karen Constance & Dylan Nyoukis: The Larval Tuning Fork consist of two side-long works judiciously edited and put-together with an easy/impenetrable logic from live shows and performances across the globe. Much of this is on the minimal side as is the contemporary Blood Stereo style, with plundered conversations and small-scale clatter and drone put to the service of long blanks of almost hypnotically monomaniacal accumulations…
Your Snakelike King
Brand new release from Brighton mongs Blood Stereo, duo of Dylan Nyoukis and Karen Constance. 'Your Snake Like King' picks up where last years 'The Magnetic Headache' left off, a shape shifting and strange mix of tape collage, free vocals and electro-acoustic mischief. Midnight to 3am recordings fueled by grape and smoke conjour up a blurred narrative, the meaning of which is never quite clear, like weird off camera sounds in some tripped out movie. "Anal fins tucked in tight behind them, B…
The Magnetic Headache
Blood is dripping from my stereo and my ears. Blood stereo submerges its listeners in horror vacui. The awfulness of emptiness is made audible in all its horrific detail. This album can be construed either as a radio play for exhausted ears or the ideal soundtrack for waking up from a disturbing nightmare. Reality refuses to return this early in the morning and all that remains is a sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach. Voices wander around in your head, somewhere there is the creaking of …
