{"product_id":"790377124811","title":":  (Records \u0026 LPs)","description":"In April 2011, The Skull Defekts toured the US to celebrate the release of the Peer Amid album on Thrill Jockey Records, a record where the Swedish core of the band was completed by the presence of Daniel Higgs on vocals. The band decided to invite Higgs' old Lungfish companion Asa Osborne and his Zomes project to open for them on tour. It didn't take long for them to find each other in friendship and a common belief in the power of music and sound. The Skull Defekts and Zomes have different ways of presenting this belief but it was clear to everyone attending these intense shows that the artists did share something special, beautiful, and rare. When the crew found themselves with a cancelled show midway through the tour, they luckily were at Machines With Magnets where they had played a show the night before - a great studio in Pawtucket, RI (previously used by bands like Battles and The Psychic Paramount). The studio had just ended a recording session and the band entered for an explosive and extremely creative one day session. Two new songs were written and recorded, and another one that had been played on the tour was put to tape... The Skull Defekts and Zomes in Pawtucket, RI. Something beautiful, something strong and important was there, and these six men succeeded in documenting it with the great help of Seth Manchester and Keith Souza. Sometimes magic happens. This was one of those moments.SALES POINTS2013 - 3012 is a brand new 12'' vinyl only release that follows the Peer Amid album (Thrill 260, Feb 2011) and features The Skull Defekts joined by both Daniel Higgs and ZomesThe A side consists of three new songs while the B side is a reverse cut done on a Scully Lathe.

The B Side is not only a reverse recording of the A side - but literally PLAYS BACKWARDS from the inside of the record to the outside2013 - 3012 is limited to only 1,000 vinyl copies worldwide and includes a free download coupon. These are not expected to last long as the Peer Amid vinyl sold out very quick earlier this yearThese three new tracks were recorded during the band's US tour in support of Peer AmidThe Skull Defekts are one of the centerpieces of Sweden's experimental rock scene. Daniel Higgs is the lyricist and frontman of Lungfish and has a very extensive catalog of solo material. Zomes is the solo work of Asa Osborne (Lungfish, The Pupils).''The Skull Defekts rhythmic, muscular, psychedelic use of drone, raga, ritualistic repetition, circularity, and noise works perfectly with Higgs' Lungfish and solo trajectories.''- Stereogum''Peer Amid is a fierce, hypnotic slice of rage and cosmic searching... Songs like ''Fragrant Nimbus'' spin wildly (but not out of control), creating some kind of space music best visible with use of the third eye. Other tracks approach a Wolf Eyes-ish howling assault, but with a ferocious, tribal drum backbone. Packed in the middle of this melee you'll find ''In Majestic Drag,'' the band's most crushing, metal-forged statement yet. Peer Amid is the ultimate soundtrack for fighting your way to enlightenment.'' - FilterTRACK LISTING:1. Children of the Skull Defekts2. Beyond Within3. Embryo4. Oyrbme5. Nihtiw Dnoyeb6.
