Live From The New Age - Matrix Metals Cassette               

Two new tapes from not not fun; "Flamingo Breeze/Pocahaunted" & "Live From The New Age". Matrix metals is super funky, like an old movie disco-scene on bad video quality. On side A, Flamingo Breeze brings you a medley of good vibrations for the hipster lo-fi discotheque. Same on side B, repeating melodies and a beat that makes your body move to Ray Ban meltdown and tanning salons. Drum machine, guitar and keyboard/synth-sounds filtered through “the fucked up filter”, which goes the same for the artwork – a photocopied cover and insert with two tickets for a show in the year 2086 at coco bongo club. Edition of 125 copies from not not fun.

Flamingo Breeze - Pocahaunted Cassette               

"Live From The New Age" is the final release of Pocahaunted. After several records on different labels; Woodsist, Arbor and Troubleman Unlimited, the “era of eh-oh” comes to an end. Three live tunes on this tape, on the first side, songs from Manhattan and Eagle Rock, the second side contains a track from Chinatown. All three are more in the old, improvish and psychedelic style, not like the bassline-drivin' hippie-dub from their latest records and tour. I think most of the copies are lost in Germany, so order one from Bis Aufs Messer and sell it on ebay. Artwork is really bad but it’s limited to 200 copies.
