Squidco Last Copy 30% Sale

Every summer we look to make space on our shelves by closing out items that we have limited supply of and that we won't restock when sold out. This summer we found more than 200 CDs, LPs, Magazines, Books & Cassettes that we have just one copy of left in stock.

To help move those items along, this week we're reducing them by 30% off their retail price! What's more, we'll keep that discounted price until next Friday when any stock that remains will be reduced by 40%, and the week after by 50%, &c. Each item will disappear from the store after it's been sold, so if you see something you're interested in, you might not want to wait!**

Hutchinson, Hal: Factory Metal Sound [CASSETTE]
(Banned Production)


British noise artist Hal Hutchinson (Der Bunker Records) in a record of apparent field recordings of metallic factory sounds, a machinist's daydream of rotating and subdued lathe sounds, each side of the cassette with a distinct timbre and recording ambiance as the mysterious sounds provide a cantankerously complex set of audio environments.

PCRV: Mobility [CASSETTE]
(Banned Production)


Thick fuzzy sound with subliminal interventions and a subsumed squiggly lead line makes the first side of this cassette release from American sound artist Matt Taggart, AKA PCRV, balanced by a ringing work of ambient harmonics that creates beautiful hypnotic tone textures that shifts slowly with illusional transitions.

Pregnant Spore: I Am in Love with My Own Sins [CASSETTE]
(Banned Production)


Pregnant Spore is Justin Marc Lloyd, Chicago-based experimental noise artist who performs under a variety of monikers, here in a rapid-paced album of rich and ruptured sound, unusual rhythmic sources, reverse phonetics, quickly changing pace and direction while maintaining an odd sense of cohesion; fascinating and perplexing.

   Rock/R.I.O./Prog

Obnox (Lamont Thomas): Templo del Sonido [RED VINYL]
(Astral Spirits)


Ohio garage and free rock mainstay Lamont Thomas, AKA Obnox, was approached by Astral Spirits to make a free jazz record, the unexpected results sounding more like a rock record in a wild ride of noise, funk, electro, voice, and percussion, a savage album with the protest and pointed sensibilities of the early 60s; pressed on translucent red vinyl.
