GNOD R&D have just revealed a new release via The Quietus.
They say:
GNOD's Paddy Shine and Chris Haslam are back with a new release from their GNOD (R+D) offshoot. Following on from two previous cassette releases on Tesla Tapes over the last year, the Sounds of Cobra label will oversee the release of Vol 3 from the pair, from which you can stream a five-minute excerpt of one of the four tracks above.
The excerpt sees Shine and Haslam combine drones with loop-driven, industrial atmospherics. It builds gradually, layers of percussion gathering pace as a distant vocal enters the mix just past the three-minute mark.
GNOD (R+D) is described as "a platform to research, develop and expand on sound environments as well as collaborators for the future workings in their main band." Vol 3 sees them turn in four long-form pieces which the label describe as "21st century ritual music," and were recorded while on tour through Italy in November of last year.
Sounds of Cobra will release Vol 3 digitally and on vinyl on January 11.

It says:
After the comparatively straight-forward, purposely focused 2017 eruption of Just Say No The Psycho Right-Wing Capitalist Fascist Industrial Death Machine, Gnod on Chapel Perilous addresses the question of where the supernatural might collide with the everyday - and where the boundaries of one's own intellectual and spiritual realities physical health.
"Whatever one's definition of reality, this psychological realm serves to prove it endlessly subjective and changeable. Robert Anton Wilson has declared the wash-paper to be "the cosmic trigger" - yet there may be some musical outfits in the here and now more worthy of carrying on its tradition than Gnod " not quite modest, while the never restraining band from Salford on their drunkzigsten studio album equal nails with heads and impressively goes into the full - but also more varied and less obvious acts than last.
The opening Donovan's Daughters overpowers as a herbaceous, monotonous-repeater post-punk jam with nasty noise tendencies, lots of factory reverb and the same sluggish bass slant that characterizes Primus, but most of all pushes Stoically into a plane that follows Swans Maybe they do not want to serve their prolonged break anymore. Gnod rub themselves in the Industrial hypnotizing-scratchy, dissonant and atonal, wandering in the atmospheric space of feedback, anthemic tunes intertwine in the tense intensity, and almost eat themselves in the pressure generated...

Goat ‘Let it Burn’
(Rocket)
A song so popular it warrants the rarest of things: a 7″ re-press. Goat return to their earlier, rawer sound for a song which marries flute, fuzz and early Black Sabbath. for the full effect, listen while watching an early ’70s episode of Top of the Pops. After a series of different colour vinyl editions, this one arrives on blue vinyl.
Shit & Shine 'Bad Vibes'
(Rocket)
Craig Clouse is back with his fourth outing for Rocket Recordings. Over the nine cuts on Bad Vibes, you get everything from the feathered double bass of ‘Bottle Brush’ to the straight-up and banging ‘7986’ via the head-nodding ‘Sunrise Sam’. Being warped and wonky has never been so much fun.

They say:
Bad Vibes, good times. Craig Clouse’s colourful, cacophonous, carnival rolls back into town once again. As Shit & Shine‘s demented ringleader Clouse has journeyed from wild bludgeoning noise rock through to twisted electronic experiments while maintaining a steady output on labels like Riot Season, Editions Mego, Diagonal and Rocket.
This can seem confusing, even profligate at times – the video for ‘Yeah I’m On Acid’ that trailed this release arrived at exactly the same time as the Very High EP, a set of three extended plunderphonic funk jams that exist in a parallel timeline to this set. Although it does seem Bad Vibes is going to be the only full length release this year. I harbour suspicions that the sleeves, which tend to be lurid paintings, dog photos or stark graphics, carry some illuminative quality beyond whichever label is putting out the release but what they truly signify remains slippery. This time it’s a vivid aquamarine pool with palm trees and the ocean beyond. Personally, it kind of looks like hell but I’m not sure it’s supposed to engender bad vibes so much as contrast.
‘Bottle Brushes’ opens with some washed out Badalamenti jazz-noir, James Brown is cast as the backwards talking man in the red suit through samples from a chaotic TV interview that slowly pepper the track. Brown sings, claims “there’s nothing wrong” and gives a little chuckle that Clouse loops to sinister effect. It recalls his use of Diamond Dave’s burblings on last year’s ‘Excess, Laziness Egotism’, one of the stand outs from Total Shit!
