Includes: a £20 note, stock fluctuations, an examination of words in the video medium, a linguistic challenge for your mind, a frame by frame dissection 50 words, shop front poetry, image and language head to head and newspapers under the microscope.

Black-clad with an ominous aura created by their distorted guitar epics, burnt-out ballads and raucous mantric jams.
A chat with Eugene Thacker. Can we rethink the world as unthinkable, and without us?
An contradictory guitarist, he’s equally at home in slow, halting acoustic improvisation or piercing minimal examinations of electric guitar.

A bodiless treatise on narration, bored speakers, audience misbehaviour and police megaphones, but: is anybody listening?
A recreation of one of Gustav Metzger’s celebrated auto destructive performances.
Writing that shows us that, even in struggle, there is light to be let in.
First live show outside the USA featuring one-off film pieces and live theatre from the ringleaders of the ‘weird new America’ psych folk explosion.
Minimal details and otherworldly glistening drones, rich with sustained metallic timbres that breathe with the scrapped pulse of bowed metal.
