BFF06 - THE TWO-YEAR CURSE & FAT LEGS - Split c30
FAT LEGS, the mysterious husband and wife noise duo from Alberta, Canada rip out 15 minutes of beautiful female vocals, hideous male vocals, distorted keyboard damage, and zoned out electronic scuzziness.
After Fred Avila's recent forays into heavily edited, complex as fuck, mapped out recordings he gives up and goes back to basics. These are THE TWO-YEAR CURSE's most stripped down recordings yet. Slimey bubbling feedback kept at a simmer collides with non-stop brute force electronics and pissed off vocals that are more microphone feedback than human voice. Limited to 33 hand numbered copies.
$4 N. America $5 WorldBFF05 - THE TWO-YEAR CURSE & JOSEPH ANDREOLI - Split c21
Santa Cruz, California's Federico Avila (a.k.a THE TWO-YEAR CURSE) and JOSEPH ANDREOLI team up again for another 10 (ish) minutes each of experimental improvised sound.
JOE ANDREOLI's guitar is so effected, the signal so damaged it sounds like a glitched out fucked up computer breathing it's last breath... whirring it's last whir. He could be boning up on his mixolydian shredding skills or he could be cramming the neck of his guitar into the cartridge slot of his calecovision. Who the fuck knows? Alien shred on the fritz.
For the first time, THE TWO YEAR CURSE does a 180 and uses all analog recording devices to capture all digital instrumentation (rather than the other way around). Free improv electronic drum-kit blasts break through the seams of spastic laptop generated feedback clatter. "I nearly broke the track-pad on that fucker!". Limited to 50 hand numbered copies.
$4 N. America $5 WorldBFF04 - THE TWO-YEAR CURSE & JOSEPH ANDREOLI - Collaboration CD-R
THE TWO-YEAR CURSE (a.k.a. Federico Avila) and guitarist, JOSEPH ANDREOLI (one half of instrumental rock duo, GIRAFFES? GIRAFFES!) team up for two collaborative improvisations on one half hour long CD-R. Recorded in April 2007 live to tape. No Overdubs. No Edits.
JOE ANDREOLI uses slide, fingers, and a bow to strangle fumblefingered, looped pseudo riffs and beautifully harsh psychedelic noisescapes out of his effected guitar. Like Jimmy Page laying it down while bleeding to death from a bullet wound to the head. Fred Avila abuses vintage drum machine, guitar, microphone, and a slew of old effects pedals to make freeform distorto-beats, filterswept static drones, breathy vocalisations, and obnoxious microphone feedback. Limited to 70 hand numbered copies with covers made from recycled kraft paper.
$4 N. America $5 WorldBFF03 - THE TWO-YEAR CURSE & D/A A/D - Split c20
Santa Cruz, California's THE TWO-YEAR CURSE (a.k.a. Federico Avila) brings four tracks of harsh noise-violence. Pulsing beats creep out of screaming electronic feedback. Fists collide with drum machines. Mega-distorted bass guitar degenerates into a 100,000 MPH mess. All culminating in a rapid fire free improv collaboration between THE TWO-YEAR CURSE and guitar/drum duo, GIRAFFES? GIRAFFES!
D/A A/D (a.k.a. Alex Pearson) who hails from Halifax, Nova Scotia drops 10 minutes of psychedelic effects torture. Three tracks that sound like they exist in an alternate univers where everything moves in slow motion and rattlesnakes come equipped with delay pedals. Cover art by legendary artist, Donald Cochrane. First run of 60. 2nd run of 20.
