Northern Valentine - Fin de Siecle Northern Valentine -  fin de siecle
CD 2012 | Silber 110
7 tracks, 45 minutes
$12 ($14 international, $5 download (320 kbps, ~76 megs))
Since 1998 Northern Valentine has been perfecting their version of drone music - based on improvisation & the emotions of the performers reacting to their physical environment & to each other at that moment, feeding off of & amplifying each other’s energies.  Here they collect more of the unique drones that have made them a staple of the genre.

REH #1 REH
Mini-comic (2.125"x1.875")
32 pages
$1 ($2 intn'l)
Like a lot of people we have a great deal of fascination & respect for the great pulp writer Robert E Howard.  This comic is about his real life done in an autobio sad-bastard style.  Looking at his daily life makes his life's work all the more fascinating & of course there are parallels to Mitchell's life as well.

A mini-comic about the dark side of relationships.
Story & words by Brian John Mitchell.
Artwork by Andrew White.

Remora - Scars Bring Hope Remora - Scars Bring Hope
CD Album 2011 | Silber 097
12 tracks, 48 minutes
$12 ($14 international, $5 download (320 kbps, ~106 megs))
Remora is the main alias of Silber Records honcho Brian John Mitchell. In 15 years, the man has cover a lot of ground, and Scars Bring Hope, while featuring only new material, kind of sums up past experiences. Inside you will find post-apocalyptic folk songs, drones, and electronic music. Helped by Electric Bird Noise’s Brian Lee McKenzie, who dragged him out of the bedroom and into a proper recording studio, Remora delivers an album more definitive-sounding than usual, a good point of entry into his universe – a dark, fallen universe with very little hope left.
~ François Couture , Monsieur Delire

Remora returns with both it's special brand of post apocalyptic pop & guitar drone in a full band setting.  The most commercial Remora release to date.  In the vein of Some Past's Future & Enamored.  From post punk to post rock & always post apocalyptic.
