Discos Mariscos
October 22, 2007
Just got this in the email, and, well, I like it. I actually like it more than anything that has been sent my way in a while. The label is called Discos Mariscos and they’re out of Florida, apparently. Here are three of their latest releases. The words are theirs:
On the Death of Science as a Major World Religion by the Cadets
Noise squalls and deliberate rock songs from one of the dozens of Northeast Florida’s unjustly ignored weirdrock bands. This album is currently available at Discos Mariscos, but is being properly released on November 20. It’s a CD with painstakingly handmade, glue-gobbed (in a good way) digipack-ish cases.
Cadets : G-Ville As Rare Factions
Sleeping Dreaming All Day in Your Room in Your Brain by Adel Bengo.
Songs by polite, understated woodland creatures who live inside your brain and make it hard for you to wake up in the morning. Or, distorted grungy folk pop from a girl who lives in a gated community and doesn’t make a lot of sense. This comes out on November 20 as well, and is also currently available early on our mail order page. It’s a hand-painted cassette tape in a hand-sewn felt pouch with a tiny folded book of lyrics. It looks like coziness and sounds like a womb, if wombs were managed by the guys who brought you Chuck E. Cheese.
Adel Bengo : Keep You Here
Heavenly Gospel by Applied Communications.
A compilation of the best of Maxwell Wood’s work since his disastacular and generally uncomfortable attempts at appearing on the national scene with 2005’s indescribably awkward Uhhh Sort Of. Fortunately unlike Uhhh, we doubt this one will be such an embarrassment when we look back on it two years from now. Pride will swell from our ankles. Grimey 4-track kinderscreamo experiments and soft honesty. This is an MP3-only release for now, currently available for free download at discosmariscos.com and applcomm.net .
