SHRIMPER
Artist: HERMAN DUNE Title: Mash Concrete Metal Mushroom
Format: CD Catalog
Number:		 SHR142
Price: $12.00 Label: Shrimper
Release
Date:		 8/4/03
***Herman Düne was birthed by David-Ivar Herman Düne and André Herman Düne more than ten years ago; the two Swedish-rooted fans of American music were playing all around Europe and the States before they'd even begun making records. Having written over four hundred songs, released three CDs and worked on a slew of side projects and self releases, they have become a reference in modern folk-rock.

NME, Melody Maker, The Independent, Mojo, and others have praised their albums, and one went so far as to describe them as "Swedish Lo-Fi Serge Gainsbourgs." John Peel invited them for a studio session in September 2000, and to his home for a live BBC broadcast of his Christmas party the same year. He continues to champion the band on the other side of the ocean.

The band's first stateside release came with Shrimper's They Go to the Woods, which Mojo reckoned was one of the finest releases of 2001. Between that release and this one they knocked out a record for the Prohibited Label, have collaborated with Julie Doiron & Cerberus Shoal, and eaten plenty of hash cookies, scones and crepes.

The singular and touching voices of David-Ivar and André are carried by the solid, minimal beats of their drummer, Neman. Ten songs grace Mash Concrete Metal Mushroom, which combine their spare sense of melody, elliptical style of poetics, and love of musical history.

Artist: SENTRIDOH Title: Lou B's Wasted Pieces '87-'93
Format: CD Catalog
Number:		 SHR141
Price: $12.00 Label: Shrimper
Release
Date:		 8/4/03
***Over the course of the first four years of the '90s, Shrimper released three cassette-only releases by Lou Barlow & His Sentridoh. Losing Losers was reissued on double-LP and CD some eight or so years back, while Wasted Pieces and Some of the Best/Most of the Worst... have been out of print for years, moping around eBay of late asking for $35 here, $52 there. After dubbing thousands of copies of the cassette from second-generation UR60 tapes, the Shrimper brain trust fished out the original sequenced masters, shipped them back to Lou B to resequence and add out-of-print Sentridoh recordings to, and assembled the motherlode onto a single disc. The tracks mine the ennui and melancholy one might expect from Mr. Barlow, but there are also orchestrated instrumentals (one of which made it into the Kids film, but not on the soundtrack), Moondog beats, and a cappella treachery. Lou is on the road during spring and early summer 2003, touring behind the New Folk Implosion record, sprinkling some solo dates here and there, and performing songs from his self-released Lou B's Free Sentridoh CD from last year as well as material from the days of yore.
TIGERBEAT 6
Artist: KID 606 / XANOPTICON Title: $ Vol. 10
Format: 7" Catalog
Number:		 MEOW059
Price: $5.75 Label: Tigerbeat 6
Release
Date:		 8/4/03
***The most destructive battle to date in Tigerbeat6's $ seven-inch series brings Kid6ÿ6 down to Miami for some serious bass knowledge, full-on, hands-in-the-air, balls-out ghetto jam hardcore-style. Underground break-core rising star Xanopticon takes his 25ÿ-bpm demon-induced sonic warfare (think Venetian Snares meets Richard Devine and you're close) a couple steps further with a little help from a special guest.
