Gary War
Jared's Lot
It's been nearly two years since we've heard new music from Gary War and we are excited to announce the release of his inevitable breakthrough 'Jared's Lot'. Through the years we have heard the developments from the D.I.Y. psychedelia of New Raytheonport to the more current electronic acid-prog tracks we heard from Horribles Parade and the most recent Police Water EP.

While the hauntology's ghost hunters in the U.K. look to library music and vintage soundtracks, he pinches from the "dense, ponderous soporific mass" of '70s FM sound, to borrow Howard Hampton'…
