Jared Mattson - FEAR - VINYL LP

Jared Mattson's Peanut didn't originally come from a need to break away. As the pandemic hit, Jared holed up in his home studio and kept developing the new music. During that process it became increasingly clear to them that this wasn't shaping up to be the next Mattson 2 album. This was a Mattson 1 album. Mattson's solo debut unfolds like a string of fascinating clouds These are not songs in a hurry; they shift around as they float by, and carry their unique kind of electric charge.1. Peanut2.

Gatefold 2LP (green-black marble). InchOther Worlds of the MindInch was released in 2018 and is firmly set in the acid folk phase of Xasthur mastermind Scott Conner's works. It has mostly led a life of a hidden gem in the band's catalogue as it transforms the ominous, melancholic, and dreamlike aspects of black metal into an acoustic sound. Yet, despite the difference of expression, InchOther Worlds of the MindInch retains the brooding, sinister, and mysterious atmosphere that have marked the earlier works of Xasthur. The album also conveys the same raw, unfiltered, and painful emotions as before. Xasthur were originally conceived by vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Scott Conner in California, USA in the year 1995. The project started out in the vein of bleak black metal in the tradition of the Nordic second wave. Over the course of nine albums and a host of split-singles, EPs, and occasional demos, Xasthur's individual, particularly depressive style became highly regarded within the extreme genre. In 2010, Scott announced the end of Xasthur and returned with an acoustic dark folk project under the banner of NOCTURNAL POISONING. In 2015, the American artist returned to the name Xasthur, but insisted that his black metal days were over. With InchInevitably DarkInch, Xasthur have partly lifted the self-imposed ban on black metal, simply because Conner felt like it and therefore did it.
