ladies and gentlemen. at last, the time is upon us. we can now jubilantly announce that, after ten years in production, the mysterious iron filings and sellotape collective's debut release is now available to purchase in both digital and ultra-limited cd editions from the decorative stamp online shop.

entitled 'amidst the grease and chaos', the album is a dark, psychedelic journey through geopolitical spheres, spanning twenty songs which take us on a precarious path built from salvaged loops, field recordings, radio interference and historical documents. it is a work of great disorientating power, hallucinatory depth and fragile beauty.

the ultra-limited physical edition is a delight to behold. presented in a high-quality envelope featuring the album artwork and containing, along with the attractively packaged cd itself, a host of additional treats including lyric sheets, credit sheets, a statement of intent, schematics of obsolete technologies, a page from a great philosophical work and an iron filings and sellotape sticker.

the guild we hold close - back in stock

due to limited quantities and the complexity of smuggling items outside texas state borders, we are, regrettably, only ever able to hold small amounts of the mighty '667' ep from babel fishh & edison. gladly, a new package arrived intact at the gut city safehouse, and we can now announce ten more copies are available for sale as we speak.

lovingly hand-made by the ferocious babel fishh himself, the ep is a beautifully packaged item indeed. replete with full lyrics inserts, scribblings, found imagery and the like, not to mention a shiny disc containing six unrelenting songs of spiralling psychedelic chew-fest madness over beats heavier than the age of steam.
