While we’re anticipating the
release of their new album The Sad Sea on Silber shortly, I figured
we’d introduce them to the rest of you with this live performance.
Recorded on October 20, 2005 at J&J’s in Denton, Texas with a line-up
of P.D. Wilder (guitar), Justin Lemons (guitar), Patrick Patterson (violin),
Francesca Riedle (violin), & Evan Caverninha (drums); Under Sea,
Over Storm captures the band early on showing the atmospheric post
rock they’ve been perfecting over the years. One flowing piece divided
into several song ideas, themes, & improvisations; this gives you an
idea not only of their live show, but what to look forward to on their
upcoming studio recordings as well.

So it has been a little while
since something in our free comp series has gotten out of our control.
We were like, “Hey, let’s do a Halloween comp & do an open call for
entries!” So we ended up with thirty tracks & over two hours of music.
Also just a little too short in time to manufacture compact discs. So that’s
why this time there are no physical copies at all. Just available on this
thing called the internet.
Complete artist roster:
Lycia, Peter Aldrich, Bryce
Eiman, Glissade, The Undermasks, Planet Cock, Rachel Goldstar, Miss Massive
Snowflake, The Wades, Robin Crutchfield, Attrition, Sorry Welcome, Arbus,
Tara Vanflower, Remora, Paolo Messere/Kiddycar, The Elysium Facade, Promute,
Lauri des Marais, The Zanzibar Snails, Ocean City Defender, Cam Butler,
Not Them, Gorgons, Small Life Form, Drats!!!, Mars Field, Thisquietarmy,
Port City Music, Electric Bird Noise

Here at Silber, mothers have
always had a special place in our heart. So we’re happy to finally
get a compilation together to pay a little bit of the tribute mothers are
so dearly due.
Everyone has a different
style of song to show their love from heavy metal (Wrong Brothers) to post-rock
(Glissade, Electric Bird Noise) to noise (Moral Crayfish) to simply acoustic
guitar (Remora). While most went the instrumental route, the songs
with vocals by Plumerai & Miss Massive Snowflake show the tongue-in-cheek
comedy that we all use to tell our moms we love them.
Complete artist roster:
Wrong Brothers, Remora,
Glissade, Blessed Child Opera, Plumerai, Moral Crayfish, Lauri des Marais,
Century of Aeroplanes, Electric Bird Noise, Miss Massive Snowflake, Origami

A mix of free jazz funk &

A collaboration between Remora
& Clang Quartet. Swamp ambient? |
The title pretty much explains
it, ambient drones for one guitar. Loop & reverb driven. |
The first Remora release to
get much attention. Our favorite review of it is:
This American band/artist
as the information is minimal reflect this in the music which is
appropriately minimal & experimental. Waves of distortion fed
through reverb effects drone through the ether like a passing tank.
These other worldly murmurs are in stark contrast to the sub Stooges riffs
that are processed out of all recognition on some occasions. Structured
tracks with some vocals are the shade to the more chaotic soundscapes,
the pitch darkness. A mixture of a psychedelic feel set against a
more extreme sound manipulation, like Pink Floyd meets Merzbow.
~ Bizarre magazine |
Lo-fi acoustic shoegazer?
Vlor's two cassette releases combined together. Here's a review of
Luxate:
Vlor are a duo consisting
of Remora's Brian John Mitchell on guitar & Russell Halasz on guitar
& bass. Though they are quite experimental at times, Vlor never stray
from their keen pop sensibilities on this excellent cassette release. Though
very lo-fi -- most of the songs here were recorded in one take using a
hand held recorder -- it's not hard to find the passion in these dark,
enchanting instrumentals. Fans of Flying Saucer Attack, especially the
early stuff, would probably dig Luxate.
