New gear at Sunshine and Grease from great Australian Labels.
Sunshine + Grease has recently received stock from some truly independant Aussie labels.
They are Trapdoor Tapes, White Circle, Lexicon Devil, Naturestrip, Breakdancethedawn and Musicyourmindwillloveyou. Below, you will also find a listing of very limited and extremely rare quality releases from Australian ex-pat label, Black Petal. Dig.
Recieved yesterday in the mail was a box of very beautifully packaged releases from Japan. The label is Black Petal, run by a bloke named Anthony Guerra, Australian ex-pat, living in Japan for the last few years. If you don’t already know about Anthony and his music, you should. An unique and inventive and adaptable improviser and all round good guy.
Anthony has played with all manner of people over the last 10 years or so, including Dean Roberts, Joel Stern, Oren Ambarchi, Rob Mayson (Grey Daturas), Antony Milton, Peter Blamey, Matt Earle, Adam Sussman. and is going to be in Melbourne later in the year. Look out for show at the Toff.
He started Black Petal 3 or 4 years ago just before he moved to Japan and has released nearly 20 deeply beautiful, heavy, and often demanding releases since. Now at Sunshine & Grease. Please note that all releases are very limited. :

Check out their myspazz if you need any more evidence that the devil is taking his holidays on the Sunshine coast.

Joel Stern-Objects Masks Props
NS3006 - Joel Stern - Objects, Masks, Propsmp3 sample - Dead Lakes (track 6)
Brisbane based but often found wandering throughout Australia and regions far further out, Joel Stern, has been restlessly, compulsively, devising, capturing, constructing this album on and off over the past 6 and a bit years (2001-2008). Created from instrumental debris, snatches of environmental sound (Ethiopia, India, Toowoomba, his lounge room), and a poetic sensitivity for incoherence, Objects.Masks.Props, is the clearest and most potent reflection yet of Joel's musical and artistic approach - somewhere between music concrete, art brut, free noise, cinema, abstraction, and the farmyard..
