http://verynicenoise.com/releases/rss Very Nice Noise is primarily a netlabel, which means that we offer music that is available exclusively through free MP3 downloads, and we will eventually start releasing the occasional CD-R and DVD-R releases as well. All MP3 releases on this site are free for you to download and distribute as you wish, as long as it it not done for profit. The label was started to help give more control back to the talented artists of the noise "music" community by way of faster turn around times on releases, no file type restrictions (if you want to release in the less popular OGG format, that's cool with us) and by giving artists the ability to maintain their own artist profile on the site. Our genre focus, as our name suggests is noise (harsh noise, drone, glitch, power electronics and the like).

tomb whacker + assholemouthead tomb whacker + assholemouthead
Four untitled tracks of harsh fucking noise from tomb whacker and assholemouthead. The front of the split is assholemouthead and the tracks carry a very lo-fi aesthetic (they sound like they were recorded in a cave, in a good way) with a very spacey / eerie vibe. The back side of the split is tomb whacker, with a denser more complex contribution. Both artists' tracks have good movement that keep your ears from going numb.

Krakenti Sixteen Years of Being Afraid
Sixteen Years of Being Afraid is a mixture of harsh noise and 8-bit sounds that can only be describe as a computer gone awry. The textures created are woven into a composition that is full of high and low dynamics that I find very easy to listen to and comprehend plus a sense of emotion that ties the soundtrack back to it's title. The included text file includes the original titles in Russian.

Red Label Noise Factory Last Last.fm Scrobbling
Quite possibly the shortest release I've ever heard, and definitely the shortest that VNN has put out thus far. Aggressive vocals stacked on a grindcore aesthetic make up this 100 second maxi-single.

Insecticide Lobotomy Turkey Carcass
This release is Insecticide Lobotomy's first endeavor with recording noise to cassette. Analog warmth and a caustic sound will occupy your ears for just over 45 minutes.

A Streetcar Named Vagina onetwothree
Just after settling down from an Australian tour in support of last release, "Stereo 8" (a box set featuring eight 8-track cassettes) the experimental act known as A Street Car Named Vagina set out to capture the visceral sound that had taken them well over a decade to develope. Recorded November 5th, 2008 in an unsecured bunker in the Midwest comes "onetwothree", done in a single take with the rawest of materials and without any post-processing whatsoever. I was advised that a series of subway bathroom shows are scheduled to support this release. I'm not sure if they are referring to the mode of transportation or the sandwich shop, either way it should be fucking nuts.

One Thousand Pilots Splendor Solis
Heavy and rhythmic like the soundtrack to the Industrial era, Splendor Solis taps into the heart of a factory system producing cogs for the masses. Audibly expanding and contracting like dragon's breathing, I wonder how many lives it has consumed.

CK Vixen CK Vixen
This self-titled effort is very focused on abstract beats and glitched out rhythms. Progressive layering of sounds and good track to track dynamics keep this release from boring the listener, but it's also very easy to let this one sit on repeat and act as a background soundtrack.

CK Vixen Floppy Eared Dog
Drones and glitched out samples are mixed together with abstract beats that will leave you wanting more. Well it left me wanting more, at just over 16 minutes, it's definitely too short, so we're definitely looking forward to a follow up in the future.

alleen dir egal
"dir egal" which loosely translates to "you don't care" or "doesn't matter to you" (from the author, "it's not possible to translate it directly into English, with only 2 words). Fortunately, you don't need to translate the title to enjoy this release. Just over 25 minutes of ambient textures filled with static and depth. Along with the textures and background noise, buzzing synth lines fade in and out to give a sense of rhythm and movement in and out of the fog. Download this release today and let alleen know that you care.

One Thousand Pilots Primun Mobile
Probably some of the most rhythmic harsh noise you will ever hear. Glitches are used to simulate machine gun rhythms and other effects / noises are layered in and around to give a sense of actual song structure as well as dynamics. The waves of complex harsh noise and industrial elements swell and diminish just often enough to make sure you don't suffer from ear strain.

GENDA Apathy
Apathy by Bulgarian noisician GENDA is a very short (2 tracks) industrial noise endeavor. The tile track takes ambient textures and mixes them with industrial clanks and scrapes to create a soundtrack for life in some sort of futuristic factory (like something out of the Alien movies). Porno nation takes the same formula and shakes it up with some samples of orgasmic moaning. Even though it's short, this release provides some very complex and dense listening.

alleen eleven
From the first track of the countdown to the number eleven, I was blown away. Ambient textures and percussives along with slightly detuned guitar chords all packaged together in a neat little box. Often times through out this release, I felt a sense of urgency that a track was building into a huge rock ballad or something of the like, but instead left me with anticipating what was to come next. Volume swells and a beautifully spacey as well a rhythmic synth lines also made their appearance on eleven. The final, titular track also features a video accompaniment that feels like something out of Joy Division's or Nine Inch Nail's play book. A very well put together release that I'm glad Very Nice Noise was able to release.

Hourglass Drops Needle Nightclub Noise
Needle Nightclub Noise, the latest on Very Nice Noise by Hourglass Drops is short (perhaps too short) 4 track harsh noise endeavor. The album incorporates a good number of vocal samples (tastefully I might add) and a precise level of glitchiness that only Hourglass Drops can manifest.

android: agitated started as a live versus set between Black Beast of Arrrghhh and Insecticide Lobotomy. After great success with said versus set, the scenario grew into a harsh noise recording unit. The duo does not gig on a regular basis but will make a public appearances upon request.

C.A. Sinclair Indra
Indra is an improvised recording made using a just laptop, a contact-miked Indian drum and a delay pedal. It's named after the Vedic god of war and weather, and, as such, is an expression of raw emotion and subconscious mindsets as much as a "serious", exploratory electroacoustic records. It incorporates elements of psychedelic music, harsh noise, glitch, ambient and more.

Hourglass Drops Return of the Butterfly Children
Moments of atmospheric bliss twisting and turning into chaotic harsh noise and then morphing into obscure beat driven electro. You won't get bored listening to this one, I promise.

From Hourglass: "This album is for all the people who still believe in what our ancestors learned us!!!"

Insecticide Lobotomy No Escaping Oneself
The first official Insecticide Lobotomy release. This release was my 20th recorded "experiment" and marks the moment when I felt comfortable enough to release a full album. Incidentally, this was originally released on the wonderful Noise-Joy netlabel, but due to their downloads being offline for a while, I decided to release under my own imprint.

Kai said it best when describing this release as "the kind of noise that can give you loads of energy, or can make you completely insane!" This release definitely delivers, it's glitch packed from beginning to end, and hopefully you won't lose your mind from listening to it!
