Metals, synths, and electronics masterfully mixed into 2 sides of dark horror from this mysterious and prolific Michigan figure.


2008 collaboration between EMERALDS and AARON DILLOWAY. aka the KEITH EMERWAY sessions. Emeralds zoneing / Dilloway mangling their sound and adding some grit.


Collection of recent recordings. Tapes, Horns, Metal , Synthesizer, Cello, Voices, Wheelbarrow, Shovel by AARON DILLOWAY, GREH HOLGER, MICK TRAVIS, LEO DILLOWAY, & HANS BEUTOW.


Starting out in 2005 performing live sets using only televisions as sound sources, EMERALDS has grown in recent years into a monster of HEAVY improvised drone using analog synths and masterfully effected guitar. Born out of the midwest scum-noise scene, these guys have taken the INTENSE HEAVINESS of their midwest brethren to a place that is entirely their own. They have replaced the creepy atmosphere and abrasive harsh noise of their peers w/ a VERY DIFFERENT though EQUALLY INTENSE assault of COSMIC DRONE POWER!

HANSON RECORDS is proud to announce EMERALDS - SOLAR BRIDGE, the trio's first full-length album after numerous cassette and cd-r releases on such labels as American Tapes, Chondritic Sound, and the bands own imprints Wagon and Gneiss Things. The album opens with the side long 'MAGIC' where the band builds a quiet drone into an extreme thick sawblade of swirling noise as beautiful as it is menacing. The flip is yet another sidelong journey titled 'THE QUAKING MESS', a track that stabs your brain with fluttering sparks of synthesized needles before relaxing you into a Göttschingesque dream state while slowly bringing you back to earth with an electronic wave of molten rumble. Fans of the smooth tones of 'New Age Of Earth' era Ash Ra Tempel and the buzzing thick drones of Throbbing Gristle's 'Heathen Earth' should take note, as EMERALDS may be their new source for electronic drugs.

CD pressed in 1000 digipak copies, LP version to follow in a limited edition.

New modular synth recordings from Spine Scavenger.


mp3 samples: Side 2 excerpt


Breaking my recent c-30 rule to release this intense c-60 of Hive Mind's main man Greh Holger. Two 30 minute sides of motionless, uneffected modular synth. Slow as hell modulations, which take a full side to change and I think the tape runs out before that even happens.. For fans of SUPER EIGHT LOOP.


Voices From The Tapes.


The crudest project in the midwest... layers and layers of hiss and crackle piled at random thru broken EVERYTHING. Volume increases about 200% 3/4 thru the recording... Weird, harsh , CRUDE as FUCK.


These midwest druggies really know what they are doing... Guitar synths, and tapes hallucinations that sound like they could maybe be an unedited ULTRA recording. Fans of the surreal sound of NWW and company should check these boys out...


30 minutes of Burl from the mysetrious boxes. Heavy thick piles of drone upon drone of heavy electronic buzz, creating an intense wall of multi-layered sound attack. INTENSITY.


Thats right! From the Live archives of Damion Romero. Cassette contains 2 Speculum Fight gigs recorded in California in 1996. Ruling oldschool BZZZZZZZZZZ!!!


First release from this KILLER new project. Tom Darksmith is from California and has been ruling my head. Great organic sound collage. Total Vaccuum cleaner shit.. Fans of Hands To, Yeast Culture, etc.. Need to wake up to this dude NOW... More tapes coming soon on Hanson as well. Keep ears PEELED OPEN.


Dilloway & Yeh recorded live to 4-track cassette Summer 2006 in Ann Arbor. Yeh on violin, Dilloway on Tape loops of Yeh's Violin. Originally released on LP, this Digipak CD version includes a bonus track collage of the 3 tracks from the duo's out of print FALSE SPEECH cassette.


mp3 samples: AHAB excerpt


'There are a lot of mugz you don't wanna know,: VD doctors, the Grim Reaper, the inside of a Fed Ex body bag, ex-mates, cops, silence, dentists, republicans, country music stars, ...list goes on and on....THEN= there are mugz you just want to get some sunshine from- you know who they are= just plain rad mugz, stokerz= and i gotta say....the Michigan Crew has Sick Llama'z BACK.....Heath AKA Juice AKA Fag Heath AKA Morellama= is just a ball of huge eyeballing goodness..how can you be mad at him? We used to have heavy skate shred sessions with the goofball and he would destroy the streetz, and still be smiling at the end, never breaking a sweat. You want this dude on your team. And you want the soundtrack to your boiling brain to be his Born Again to Die. Its got this amazing kinda arms-up-in-air-i-give-up-what-is -this-godamnn -sound style beaming through it. Heath man....dude aint really gonna give any clues back....cant count how many timez the crew has cornered the mug and been like: 'Yo man....what the hell is going on inside 'Live Birth' ?' Did you just record cars under an overpass and slow it down?", '....ha......that one...that's a weird one right?', 'Well,...tell us....the fuck?', '..........', And repeat over the coarse of 120+ Fag Tapes, Heath's label AKA the Pyramids of Michigan. He never has properly answered a sound question, we all have our clues/ideas.. Probably wrong. Sick Llama holds the rotten essence of Midwest Basement Mystery Mind Sound inside the marrow of his weird skull, right behind the strawberry blond tuffs, unblinking bug eyes, and scandi-molded mildew skin. Born Again to Die is his debt, and any signs of progression are tossed out the windows of Ham Studios. I mean its electronics, tape hiss, and ....?????? Heath really doesn't get any better or more refined, just....... stranger AKA more strange. My man Connelly says every Fag Tape has at least a 30% 'hands off' factor, meaning, seems like Llama has a nice mutant groove going on and then just jets for 10min, leaving the machine motionless. If you can tell what the hell is going on inside these grooves...bottle it and sell it, it would be ideal to have on tap.......it could be like taking a skinny dip inside the caverns of a black pool filled to the brim with soul-frying electricity waves. Born Again To Die= maybe our kid's rat kids will COMPREHEND. Then maybe they can attempt to decode FUNKY PANDEMONIUM....'---JOHN OLSON (WOLF EYES, BOY DEPT BOYZ), MAY 2007

Georgia Scum Splicing....GSS... Killer cassette of randomly and crudely spliced cassettes of crude noise... Flows like grease and pissy water making it's way from the bottom of a toilet to the drainage hole in some scumbags nasty basement bathroom. Ultra HISS, Ultra CRUNCH, Ultra GROSS and ULTRA!!!


Ever heard of the NORTHVILLE TUNNELS?? It's these underground tunnels in Northville, MI that lead to an old abandoned Mental Hosptial. A teenaged RAVEN STRAIN aka MATT BILLINGS used to hang out in those tunnels... ALOT! This is totally the sound of creeping thru there high on paint, seeing only by the light of a shitty BIC mini lighter... runnin around the hospital and reading the forgotten files of the inmates that once lived there. I remember him telling me a story of snakin some old filing cabinet from there and draggin em home thru the tunnels. I think he recorded that and put it on this tape. Total abandonment, illness, and drugs.


Hub and wife deliver another assault of fluttering dead electronics... Moving more quickly than most DM releases...Gutted Horrorbleness sketched by psychic sickness. Could be the soundtrack to Harry Harrison's DEATHWORLD if they ever made it into a movie. Sick Sci-Fi horror nastiness!


Outtakes from the SOUNDS OF THE INDIAN SNAKE CHARMER lp/cd. Full band tracks as heard on the LP, but also a couple DUO tracks from the 2 brothers. More Volumes to come.


NOW ON CD !!!! 'For the first half of 2005, I lived with my wife Erika in Kirtipur, Nepal. During our days, while she was studying at the Kathmandu Association For The Deaf, I was roaming the streets and villages of the Kathmandu Valley in search of sounds and music. While kickin? round the tourist district of Thamel picking up cassettes, I met a family of Snake Charmers from Haryana, INDIA. An old man probably in his 70s or 80s, his 2 grandsons, and one of the grandson?s sons. They asked if I wanted to see a show....I said Hell YES!! They gave me a show...a KILLER show... we?re talkin 3 fuckin? king cobras dancing at once, while a giant boa chilled at the side and few other random lil? snake dudes are wigglin around here and there. I became obsessed. I had met my new best friends... Though the kind of best friends you have to pay to hang out with. They were hustlers, yes.. But that?s their job... The money was well worth the shows. I spent about 3-4 days a week for the next 2 months, recording their music and their snake shows on mini-disc and videotape. I Drank alot of chiyaa with them, smoked alot of cigarettes and bidis. They taught me how to make reeds out of bamboo, and I traded them some clothes for a snake charming horn. They call them Beens, they are also known as Pungis. These guys were the best. At the end of April they left Kathmandu, heading to Pokhara, after that it was time for them to head back home with their earnings. Man...I missed them. This LP is the BEST OF THE BEST of the recordings I made of them. There are some classic Bollywood tracks, a Nepali folk song, and side 2 is a 19 minute drone journey into the head of the KING COBRA. The recordings were done in stereo. A been on the left, a been on the right. A premtal (stringed percussion instrument) on the left, a premtal on the right. The stereo recording of the charmers sway creates a very disorienting stereo tremelo effect. It?s almost as if YOU are the SNAKE! These tracks were recorded in an alley. There is the occasional rumble of a car passing by, and the low murmer of the locals checkin out the white kid with the fancy gadget hangin? with the snake dudes.' -- AARON DILLOWAY, May 2005

Heavy on the delay electronic bone rattlers... Total scumbags on horseback clamping your head with a vice and rippin out yer spine while your mind-shock alarm goes off in a 2 seconds=10 hour torture session. In the desert.


DRAWN DEAD is the sound of a burning human body. The sound of a boiling kneecap microwave marshmallow popping and then sliding down the leg like jellied pulp. This record is so dark, you can smell the burning flesh and will have to shake the human ash from your clothes after each listen. ON SALE UNTIL JAN 1. 2007!!!!


Weird dudes jamming synths. Alone. Social Problems. Problems. Recorded late into the night. Fucking A. That is the business, right there. Shit is just creepy-gets under your skin. While most noise youth get their chocolate fingers lost in gadgetry and posturing-something about a synth jam that's just.... Human ... humanly wrong. But fucking right. Right on Hive Mind.


The most psychedelic band EVER! Smegma have been confusing minds since 1973 when they helped form the Los Angeles Free Music Society. This disc is their first full length in nearly 10 years and also the first to feature vocalist / punk beatnik / BLUE OYSTER CULT lyricist RICHARD MELTZER. Rumblings is a sound collage of turntable manipulations, electronics, horns, bells, junk, toys, marijuana, and surf rock band.


Well it's about FUCKING TIME!! Finally this stellar work from Jon Borges' PEDESTRIAN DEPOSIT is released! Meticulously edited Harsh Electronic Noise. Ultra spastic and cut up sound w/ passages of truly DISMAL piano, tape manipulations and drones. I am proud to have co-released this w/ Prurient's HOSPITAL PRODUCTIONS.

Unlike the heavy brutal beat vibe of thier Dread album (recorded just 2 monthes prior)- Slicer is a more minimal- tone heavy- and even slower recording. Deep electronic and horne generated tones stretch and separate overtop of 'glitchy' electronics- ultra crude tape manipulations- and ear-piercing scraping glass.
