VIDKID006 // Shipyards, Haunted Beard & Les Beyond - Triple Split Cassette

From Vancouver’s own shed-dwelling atonalists Shipyards come twenty minutes of mind-ripping-outing sludge. Next comes two digital meltdowns by Haunted Beard, one a fast-paced rhythmic marathon, and the second a repetitive and overdriven megaparty. Rounding out the second side are two soft but trance-inducing guitar drones by Les Beyond.

With the Fall months approaching, the one thing I’ve been trying to focus on (when it comes to Vidkid) is maintaining a consistent amount of releases every few months. So in November, two cassettes that I’m rather excited about will be released. One of them is a recording of two Haunted Beard shows entitled Flaunt N’ Smeared. The other is a triple split cassette (60 minutes long, 20 minutes to each artist) featuring Shipyards, Haunted Beard and Les Beyond. I’m really motivated by the reception that Cool Sound Death has recieved, and I hope to continue putting out releases for a while.
