“Since the last podcast, things have changed over dramatically from Summer to Autumn here in Minnesota with some refreshingly cool and absolutely beautiful days of late. It’s my favorite time of year, so I welcome the change. It has also been refreshing spending the last couple of weeks assembling…

I’ve been in a Hausu head-space since this summer’s Voice of the Valley, where a slew of related projects appeared throughout the fest, so I’m psyched to share the latest from Maxwell Allison’s solo Mukqs project — which follow distantly on a 2013 debut alongside Hausu…

Astute readers will remember the relatively recent blog post that graced this site regarding the befuddling and lovely Krolorog cassette, courtesy of Russian mastermind Piper Spray. The classy gents over at Hausu Mountain just shared a three-dimensional CGI interpretation of track thirteen, “Goodbye,…

#1 – 7.4.2015 – I have to start this week’s review with a slightly out of date but still critical news bit, namely, that the rap/hip-hop focused Strictly Cassette blog has a new release out from Brooklyn producer Jazzsoon, titled Taxi — a concept album made with samples from,…

Like an LSD-inspired version of Rasputin, the Russian sorcerer known as Piper Spray emits jets of sonic wisdom all over the place. These sounds are just waiting to land inside the world’s ear holes, raining down on us humans like malformed Tetris pieces. It sounds crazy, but it’s pretty…

Hausu Mountain, 5.26.2015
All The Way, the new album from Goodwill Smith member TALsounds (aka Natalie Chami) is by turns hypnotic and gripping, with swaths of gorgeous texture that metamorphose into songs and back again before your ears. Listening to the album is kind of like taking a late-night walk…

Light and Dark, the new one by Chicago synthesist Potions, pops out on Hausu Mountain this week, and has pushed into and beyond my night time work vibes and into my daughter’s automobilian sleep sessions. Of the three tapes in the batch, Potions’ album sits firmly between the ambient improvisations…

As I wrote in the introduction to yesterday’s label feature, 2014 looked like a good year for labels — we admittedly see and try to treat with a large number, but isn’t that any aspiring capitalist’s ideal vision of shopping? A world of choice, with access to varied experiences….

Hausu Mountain, 11/14/14
The third vinyl outing from Brooklyn’s Grasshopper finds Jesse DeRosa and Josh Milrod in exceptional form. From the very first moments, we are met with a supremely confident and building blast of deeply pulsing, darkly droning energy. Hausu Mountain has packaged the proceedings…

My previous effort to get into the head of Derek “Headboggle” Gedalecia gave me a close look at the turbulent politics of the San Francisco Bay Area noise scene. After Derek had to cancel our meeting at the last minute, a resulting lengthy interview with Greg Garbage netted facetious death…

Just before this week began, it turns out the gang at Hausu Mountain announced a tour — Goodwill Smith and Sugarm will be cavorting in a compressed squiggle from Ohio through the northeast, then south for a moment, and back north to terminate at the Voice of the Valley Noise Rally less than an hour…

Chicago oddity outhouse Hausu Mountain has had a hell of a year, highlighted/underlined/bolded by a string of the label’s strongest outings yet, with entries from Black Hat, Lockbox, Sugarm, William Selman, Moth Cock, and a Jerry Paper/Andy Boay split. HausMo now returns rather swiftly with another…

Among the latest from Hausu Mountain, William Selman’s Equatorial Night eschews easy categorization. Composed solely on a modular synth with both analog and digital processing, this tune brings in dub-infused bass, chunky percussive stabs, and background ambient synth waves that ebb and flow….

For anyone that knows Kent, OH wacko improv unit Moth Cock and has since heard Khaki Blazer’s free albums, that the jacketed revolutionary responsible is none other than Patrick Modugno, one half of the aforementioned duo, may be less than surprising. Groundscore appears alongside a second album, Club…

Our twelfth installment of the Week in Review, the closest thing I’ve ever had to a regular journal… I still incline toward beginning with things we missed from the prior week; though we don’t want anyone to think our eyes aren’t on the real prize, yessir, next week, nothing…

Hausu Mountain (who have been completely unstoppable as of late) are gearing up to release the full-length LP Thought Of Two by Black Hat, who has previously released a CD-R on Debacle Records and a tape on Field Hymns. LA-based video artist Zara Ruckus has created a video clip for an edited version…

If all you thought Hausu Mountain had going for it was a logo based on the packaging for Nobuhiko Obayashi’s 1977 bizarro Criterion-classic House, your surprise probably already drew you in for further research, as I did on seeing the smiling caricature. Their latest release is the newest offering…

Thanks to a few technical issues earlier this month, we started the year a good deal later than anticipated and spent most of it tending to our 2013 year end coverage, which has since appeared and been digested. This is an abbreviated view of things we abortively attempted to attend to in between holiday…
