coffin cutters - elaborate demise

finally, in our celebration of the moving image this week, we are rather delighted to preview for the first time a recently unearthed film of jamesphoney & jamesreindeer performing the coffin cutters track elaborate demise.

shot sometime circa the middle of june 2010, the film exists as perhaps the final james & james document of their two-year reign of chewing terror. still, without wishing to give anything away at this stage, do know that there is some clandestine talk james & james shall rise again!

babel fishh & tenshun - arm in a grinding wheel

continuing along with our celebration of the moving image, our next stop takes us to sunny texas, and our very own chewing mercenary babel fishh, abosolutely murdering an impossibly horrific beat by the near-legendary tenshun.

taken from their upcoming double 7" release on ooohh that's heavy and mism records, the song is a very clear indication that all is continually perfectly unwell in the 667 camp. expect brutal beats and brutal rhymes. get involved.
