Live at Cafe Oto
Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album
August 2015: On a sweltering summer evening, Sly & the Family Drone brought their sweat-soaked carnival of chaos to east London.

This is a recording of that night.

'The group’s full-bleed white-noise provocation, fueled by tabletops of wired-up stomp-boxes mewling muddy gusts of noise and tribal flurries of floor-tom bashing, soon becomes a shared bacchanal of (nearly) naked amp jumping and eardrum-violating cacophonic garble. The high point comes near to the end, when a gaggle of Drone-friends and fellow travelers, equipped with saxophones and trumpets, burst through the gurning crowds to add their voices to the grotesque chorale.' - Paul Margree

Comes packaged in a double gatefold card sleeve with original letterpress artwork by Neon Coffin and liner notes courtesy of John Doran.

Includes unlimited streaming of Live at Cafe Oto via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

A great, muscular, weird rock record from a group showcasing their years of experience playing together. Everyone is locked in, and the songs are tight even at 6, 8 or 16 minutes long. MetalDipshit

The Guillotine
by Hey Colossus

Well this is damn good. I’m struggling to describe it, but here goes: Birthday Party era Nick Cave arthouse post punk with a stoner rock vibe to the production. Whew! The bass drives the music and there is considerable variety between the songs. They tag it as, among others, psychedelic rock, and while I’m not sure I hear it, this lines up nicely with other recent standout additions to my collection like Hochen, Dreamtime, and Black Rainbows, who also use that tag. So maybe it’s just me. Lute FP

On this uncompromising LP, the UK outfit NOISE use haunting drone, hissing static and stark electronics to explore repressed trauma. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 1, 2022

Holographic Dreamtime
by Khôra

Less a solo act than a one-man megalith, Khôra builds impressive experimental soundscapes from modular synths, flutes, harps, and more. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 19, 2020
