Recordings Completed, Bottleneck Ensues

Hi there, funny we should meet like this. It's been a while, but all has been very, very busy. Updates on a lot of fronts. In various states of "done", in order of closest to being done and available. Skull Servant NE/SE - Vacant Eyes/Vacant Screen cassette: songs done, need a final mix. Artwork started, needs to be completed. Skull Servant NE/SE - Obfuscation 7": songs done, final mix done, artwork needs to be started. Off to the lathe end of this month. Song is on Bandcamp. If you use Soundcloud, you can hear different, earlier versions of this behemoth as we shared parts of it with different collaborators. Skull Servant NE/SE - Transparency 7": songs done, final mix done artwork needs to be started. Off to lathe cutters at the end of July. Song is on Bandcamp. Skull Servant - Watching dub: still remixing. Looks like this will be a 12" mono dub plate. Skull Servant - The Humans cassette: 5 songs written, in various states of finished - most have drum tracks, some have drums and bass, one has drums, bass, noise and metal percussion done. Skull Servant - Aufpassen cassette: 1 song written. The conceit of this tape is to try to recreate the influence of Einsturzende Neubauten/Test Dept in a series of songs. This one won't be done this year. Skull Servant - Eschelon cassette: 1 song written. This one's a bit different, rather than use the servants to build a punk band, we're using servants to build an industrial band circa 1988 including drum machines and other sounds from that era. We'll see if this fits the motif, and go from there. Probably a long way off. We also provides some noise for Greber to use in upcoming shows and releases. Bring earplugs as these drones are in the upper register (as drones are in the upper atmosphere). This stuff might appear on something recorded, but life is unpredictable and we're not expecting anything to develop for these until next year.
