Sewer Election
With every heartbeat
A c60 compilation. One hour of new ecordings from the likes of Sewer Election, Jordmenneske, and a lot of promising new local projects. Cassette in a5 sleeve.
Psychic Panorama II
A much anticipated and perhaps at least partially dreaded follow-up to the first volume released back in 2021. Compositions for synthesizer & turntable recorded winter 2023 at Studio Malign in Gothenburg. The 'brutish and cold minimalism that resembles Nord or a David Tudor on benzos' still kind of rings true, but Vol II is more than just mere repetition. Psychedelic electronics indeed, including a haunting ode to Swedish goddess Marie Fredriksson, and another massive and innovative slow burner …

*Limited to 250 copies in handmande cover. Only few copies available, strictly one per customer.* Gothenburg scene vet Dan Johansson births another Sewer Election record into this diseased world, this time in collaboration with New York's relatively wet around the ears Charmaine Lee. The two lines of biography that accompany the record explain that this was a mail collaboration recorded pre-pandemic, which you can either view as prescient or mere coincidence. Either way, if you're to call an alb…
Killing For Germany / Ragsved
The collaborative recordings of Sewer Election and Treriksröset throughout the mid-2000s are some of the most singular works of harsh noise orthodoxy ever created, holding a heavy position in the canon of noise music. The highly refined and counter-intuitive approach to layering, texture and dynamics contrasts miraculously with primitivism and minimalism, manifesting in several 30 minute slabs of exquisite crust recorded live to tape. "Killing For Germany" is perhaps their most static and straig…
Psychic Panorama
*In process of stocking * A new 66-minute psychedelic synth epos from Sewer Election. Half of the material was originally released as a very limited cassette on Malign Editions in the summer of 2021. Brutish and cold minimalism that kind of resembles Nord or a David Tudor on benzos. Recorded in Kortedala, Gothenburg.
Skärvor Av
Edition of 200 copies. Swedish noise agitator Dan Johannsson (Sewer Election) brand new album. Hypnotic, dreamlike and introspective tape loops, musique concrete-esque abstractions, bleached electro-acoustic structures. Skärvor Av flows with an elemental sorcery from reverberant electronic space and caustic noise swells to dense bleakness held in elemental balance with moments of astonishing beauty

Antarktis

Blizzard Amplification
* Originally released as a private edition 6 cassettes box, instantly sold out * Sewer Election at their finest. Double-CD reissue of the six-tape-box. Improvised harsh electronics & feedback. Recorded & mixed at Studio Malign early 2020. "Sewer Election is a name to be held in the highest regard. While initially hooking audiences on one of the most hard-hitting takes on harsh noise available, he also proved to be the master of an unsettling and emotive tape music style which has come to be wide…
Night Of The Experimental Film II
** Numbered edition of 90 copies with download coupon. Inlay offset printed in silver and red ** Two strenuous sound works by Dan Johansson’s Sewer Election project. Echoing the sonic aesthetics of his ‘Nara’-period, these live soundtracks for landscape movies by Derek Jarman and Peter Hutton identify as sophisticated and brutal at the same time.
Kassettmusik
"Originally released as two private edition cassettes and then reworked for a CD release on iDEAL in 2008, Kassettmusik still stands out as one of Dan Johanssons' most confounding and bold moments. Upon its release, the extremely minimal and restrained approach on the recording took a quite unexpected turn compared to the brutish harsh noise and Killing For endeavours Sewer Election was known for at the time. Crude cassette loops of sparse electronics and body sounds with the fidelity of the dis…
Malign
Swedish noise agitator Dan Johannsson bothers his good pals at iDEAL with a brilliant new LP following his Aska split album with Puce Mary in 2013. Malign by nature and intent, his overdue return to Joachim Nordwall’s label is a sorely strung out and decayed thing, a dank space hankering to be inhabited by listeners who want or need to be pushed into uncomfortable headspaces. If you're into anything from Jandek to Wolf Eyes to The Caretaker - this one's for you.
Malign trades in a sense of…
Vittra Sönder
"Tape manipulation and metal abuse at its absolute finest. A few minutes of primitive organ melody mark the A-side of this LP, while the flipside features some percussive stabs so sparsely placed that they could nearly be counted on one hand. Although these musical passages are brief, they are worth mentioning as they significantly compliment the overall mood & pacing of the album. Deep within the dark grooves of Vittra Sonder the musique truly meets the concrete. Recorded at Utmarken Gothenburg…
Kvavd
Sweden's finest Sewer Election returns with two new songs with his extreme and nasty noise. Side A is a destroyed reel-to-reel loop of metal that shifts into raw object+bodysounds and mangled tape. Side B is pure lo-fi / no-fi metal abuse and feedback.Primitive caveman style.Kassettmusik's evolution. Black art.
Vidöppna Sår
"Sewer Election is Dan Johansson, based in Gothenburg, Sweden. He is most known for his extreme and nasty noise on often limited edition cassettes and obscure vinyl releases on labels such as iDEAL, Troniks, Chondritic Sound, Release the Bats!, Freak Animal, Segerhuva, Gameboy to name a few.. He is a member of the swedish collective Utmarken and lo-fi group Ättestupa. Following on from his Kassettmusik release, this new album is an evolution in field recordings and voice recorded to mono …
