Still here...

It's been a while since this site was updated, life and other developing projects have got in the way. Black Mountain Transmitter is officially on hiatus and no new releases are currently scheduled. Cloudland Ballroom will also be taking a long holiday, but before that there are a few small upcoming appearances including the "Mad Chat" double LP compilation and also a 7in single, both from Dumpster Diving Lab.

There will be releases from new projects in 2012.

All current and previous BMT and Cloudland Ballroom material will shortly be available as downloads from the Lysergic Earwax Bandcamp page. Out of print releases will be free, those still available in a physical format will have a small download charge.

I've recently discovered a few remaining copies of the Stille Nacht "musical Christmas card", which was only available for 7 days last December. Featuring a ten minute track of faded and decayed Xmas ambience on 3" CD-R, housed in a black minimalist Xmas card with gloss screenprinted text, only 48 hand-numbered copies were made. If you are interested in owning one of the last few, price is £3.50 (UK/Europe) or £4.00 (USA/Rest of World), please email info@lysergicearwax.com for details on how to purchase.

For those enquiring about the "Theory & Practice" vinyl reissue which was supposed to happen earlier this year, I'm very disappointed to say it is now looking very unlikely. I have had no communication from the label in months and their website has been down for quite a while.

More reissues from Lysergic Earwax Digital

Two out of print Cloudland Ballroom releases are available again as free downloads from lysergicearwax.bandcamp.com.


Blues From The Sun EP

"Flickering and fluttering tonal luminaries gambol through this morphing soundscape. Undertones shape shift against this pristine atmosphere—ranging from ebullient to despondent."

Cloudland Ballroom's debut release "Blues From The Sun" was originally issued as a limited edition C20 cassette on Sacred Phrases in June 2010.




Areal EP

"A series of transmissions that incorporate lunar meditations and sequencer-driven accelerations."

These tracks were originally released as part of a split cassette with Canadian band Sundrips on their Fadeaway Tapes label in November 2010.

"Slender Man" print - SOLD OUT

The "Slender Man" screenprint is now completely sold out. Many thanks to everyone who bought one of these.

There will be another limited edition art print available here sometime soon. Sign up to the Lysergic Earwax mail list to keep up to date with news...

"Slender Man" limited edition art print

Lysergic Earwax's James R. Moore is behind the original poster design for the upcoming Outer Church on 14th July at the Komedia Brighton, which will feature the first UK screening of contemporary uncanny masterpiece "Marble Hornets" (Season One). To date the most accomplished and acclaimed product of the Slender Man mythos, this immersive DIY phenomenon has spawned several imitations and attracted praise from revered film critic, Roger Ebert. Be prepared to explore the derelict spaces of urban folklore!

To commemorate this event Lysergic Earwax Art Dept. is making available a fine art print of the design in a strictly limited edition of 20. Hand screenprinted on heavyweight 370gsm paper in two colours, black and grey/silver, total size 50 x 70cm (19.5" x 27.5"). Each print will be signed and individually numbered.



These will be available to purchase exclusively from this site until Sunday 17th July. Prints are £20 which includes postage within UK/Europe. Postage to USA/rest of world is £2 extra (aproximate total in US dollars is $35). Prints will be shipped rolled in a sturdy poster tube.



Beware, the Slender Man!

Theory & Practice vinyl delayed

The vinyl edition of BMT's Theory & Practice was advertised as being available from 18th April. I am aware there have been issues at the label (Static Noise Audio) which have lead to it being delayed. As such, there is curently no specific release date.
