GENERAL MARTOK - REALITY DEATH SOUP

Once again summer has been quiet at Sharp Noodle, with shows, tours and recordings of "proper" albums taking up most of the bands' time. So we break the 5 months of silence with another release from legendary Canadian weirdo General Martok. A tasty synth and field recording stew with a healthy balance of pretty and pretty abrasive.

GENERAL MARTOK - IN THE MOOD

Super special bank holiday treat!!! Sharp Noodle get's all international up in this bitch with the first release from Canada's nofi internet legend General Martok. Imagine if Lou Barlow & Eric Gaffney were involved in an unfortunate teleportation accident whilst working on a Sebadoh album in 1993 and, before having their hideous mutant face shotgunned up by Gina Davis, managed to record 30 awesome tracks of electro-acoustic mongpop.

In the mood is the ghost of a Fostex fourtrack rising up like sweat from the passionate love making of the young Yma Sumac and Jandek in a dense jungle of vowel-centric incantations. Or it sounds a bit like pavement, the fall, or the inbreds.

Linus Fitness-Centre - Crap Mammals

Because no one demanded it - a distinctly unmetal solo album by Snork Maiden's Linus Fitness-Centre (not to be confused with the one in Atomck). Ten tracks of under-written, overly compressed electrotosh, blending nice old synths with stupid video game noises, while Mr Fitness whines about some nerdy crap. Recorded during the winter of 2010-11, this album would have been longer but for the obligatory Sharp Noodle computer malfunction rendering it mercifully brief.

ATOMCK / PAUCITIES split 7"

Unusually for a SNR band ATOMCK seem to have gone a bit real and released a actual vinyl?

It can be bought HERE or downloaded for free from atomck's hosting partner TORN FLESH RECORDS HERE

PROPOSED ATOMCK/CEMENTIMENTAL D-BEAT PROJECT

We just got an email from these two SNR artistes stating they intend to record a 'terrible' new D-beat hardcore punk album, and they are just looking for the right name.

So far we have come up with the following:

DISHARD

DISMOUNT

DISINTEREST

DISTARD

DISTRO

DISTROY

DISBEAT

DISSENTRY

DISTANT

DISDOOM

DISTEND

DISPEPSIA

DISLEXIA

And the possibly game-chaning THISCHARGE.

Please let us know what you think/ any new ideas.

God save the Queen and all that old shoes...

Spider Kitten - To Let The Winter In

3 tracks of heartbreakingly sad Christmas Doom.

Atomçk - aborted split with HORSE VOMIT bootleg

In May 2009 Atomçk recorded what was intended to be a split 12" with legendary London noise supergroup Horse Vomit. 12 tracks were written and (mostly) recorded inside of a week. 18 months or procrastination and computer fails followed. Here is probably the closest thing to a final mix that will ever emerge. If Atomçk were the Beach Boys, this would be their "Smile" (with laziness and hard drive corruption in place of drugs and mental instability). Features shoulda been classic "Tim Drage - The Opera", guest starring all of Spider Kitten on vocals and saxaphone.
