Michael and the Angels Fought is five tracks that continue to develop the sonic fingerprint that is Dead Voices On Air, but at this rate we’ve lost count of how many hands DVOA’s Mark Spybey must have because the sonic toolkit from which Mark pulls is bottomless. This may be DVOA’s most collaborative release to date which has allowed Mark to absorb, process and assemble the aural puzzlebox into a more quiet and reflective experience. DVOA recordings have always worked best taken as a collective whole and 'Michael and the Angels Fought' surprises and delights your careful attention like all Dead Voices On Air recordings that have come before.

Kiehtan marks Michael Page’s 40th appearance on recorded format since 2004. This disc focuses on pure ambient drift and aural bliss drawing influence from the ambient masters of the 70’s. Kiehtan features a sonic reconstruction by Mark Spybey (Dead Voices On Air, Beehatch, Reformed Faction) from Sky Burial source material and was mastered by James Plotkin (Khanate, OLD - mastering for Sunn O))), Earth, Isis).

From Afar All Stars Spark And Glee is a landscape of blurred atmospheric coils - shards that manage to sound simultaneously recognizable and from another place. It features his Download and Beehatch colleague Phil Western on two tracks and American-Serbian singer Ivana Salipur on the title track, a homage to the Serbian poet Desanka Maksimovic (1898-1993). The album is presented in a digipak featuring photographs from the timeless landscape of Patagonia by Argentinean artist Marco Roberti.

How This Ends is the 12th solo album by Chris Connelly, and it is certainly the most extreme. Picking up from where 2008's Forgiveness & Exile tailed off. In some ways, this is an extension of that, where Chris uses an ensemble cast of musicians, orators and non-musicians to produce something that vacillates between an almost serenely melancholic paradise, and a terrifying hellish vortex of noise. All pre-release orders of the CD will be signed by Chris.Click here for more information.
