DISTOR: Pregnant Spore - Listen To The Universe CDr + Zine

Pregnant Spore - Listen To The Universe CDr + Zine (Cerebro Morto)

Pregnant Spore, the one-man project of Justin Marc Lloyd, presents organic soundscapes, characterized by heterogeneous noises glued together, along with deviating frequency sounds. Mind-melting sound with a strong psychedelic leaning, achieved through real objects sound processing, and DIY effect pedals.

Releases includes a zine from the label including a lengthy interview with JML.

DISTRO: Pregnant Spore - Black Smoke Sleep c20

Pregnant Spore - Black Smoke Sleep c20 (Cryptic Carousel)

Recorded live at Black Smoke Lodge through a mind-fucking stereo delay. Frequencies take flight and sputtering and dying devices peter out. Strange electronic aggression channeled while half asleep. Dynamic, fried and melted.

Pregnant Spore - The Self CDr - SOLD OUT/FREE DOWNLOAD

Pregnant Spore - The Self CDr - RB-116

These 24 tracks, some as short as 39 seconds and others nearly 10 minutes long, document a span of 8 months of self-realization and self-actualization. This is quite different from the Growth double CDr put out not too long ago although the strong spiritual elements remain intact. The sonic diversity on this release and its jumping from one idea and mood to the next, track-to-track, archives experiences, thoughts and emotions like files organized into different drawers of the brain. Eerie vocal pleadings, a hand-full of rhythmic cacophonies, sludge-ridden bass, reflective walls of sound, and disfiguring sorcery. No, your speakers aren't cutting out. Your CD player isn't skipping. There are not otherworldly beings trying to catch your attention by interfering with the frequency at which your mobile device sitting by your speakers is operating on. These are mangled vibrations and abstracted energy recorded onto a digital format for you to interpret as you may. Each piece has it's unique direction, and as a whole, this release is like a novel, representing every facet experienced internally in an 8-month excursion through existence.

Pregnant Spore Review

Pregnant Spore is back on this cassette with five tracks of fast-moving harsh noise, very junky in sound and jumpy in theme. As with much of Rainbow Bridge’s output, the tape comes with a colorful j-card of spattered paint a la Jackson Pollack, with a numbering out of 50. 

This cassette is really all over the place, and it finds Pregnant Spore doing what it does best – layering junk electronics, cutting away for a variety of warped sounds and pulsating whirs until the whole track finds a unified whole.  

Side A is split into two tracks, the lengthy “Darn It! Jolly Scum” and “Satan Drape”. The first finds its rhythm almost right away, with a scratchy bass pounding leading the track while circuit-bent electronics and writhing strands of feedback often play at odds with each other. And although Pregnant Spore hits a lot of different tones with the noise here, he often returns to similar sounds, and it helps that the tracks are often rhythmically structured. A lot of screeches, tweets, and damaged sounds over the course of this side, although some do appear to be simply the effect of knob twists. There’s a really great vocal sampling of Gregorian chants, a transcendent effect of beautiful, human harmonies paired with the riotous electronics of Pregnant Spore, and “Satan Drape” becomes one of the best cuts off of Harmonious Salmon Hearts. 

Side B is often similar, with “Snot Grass Pt. 1″ starting off with tons on swirled electronics color, crunchy static often deeply underneath echoes of distorted vocals, hectic electronic squeals, and overall just a generally insane noisescape. All of the acts often blend in, although “Vitamin F” and “Snot Grass Pt. 2″ do have their own distinct rhythms, and the latter features some nicely textured drums. This is good, though, because the blend means that Harmonious Salmon Hearts has managed to craft a pattern for the cassette. 

I think most people know if they like the brand of noise Pregnant Spore works in. Sometimes abrasive, sometimes genuinely simple, Harmonious Salmon Hearts hits a lot of different areas of noise, but the continual factor of this tape is its squelching, warped sound, which sounds nuanced enough for me.

PART TWO OF THE LAST POST

I AM TAKING HIGH-RESOLUTION PHOTOS OF EVERY PACKAGE + ANY APPLICABLE PAPER WORK BEFORE ITEMS ARE SHIPPED FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE IN THE EVENT THAT YOU NEED TO TRACK THE PACKAGE OR SEE PROOF THAT IT HAS BEEN ADDRESSED CORRECTLY.

CHANGING THE WAY THINGS ARE DONE

After this next lengthy transaction at the post office, things will be changing around here. No more super long waits for your package!

Due to:

• work scheduling being all over the place
• sleep scheduling being all over the place because of work scheduling
•  j-card misprints (Merzbow) and tapes custom-loaded with the wrong lengths (had to have many tapes sent and re-sent a couple times before they were correct)
• financial troubles in the automotive department
• financial troubles in the surgery department
• transportation troubles in the automotive department to get to the post office that I always preferred using
• stupid hours at the local post office (lunch breaks=the closing of the post office altogether, closing early before I can get to it, etc.)
• old customs forms, their lack of carbon copies and the necessity of jotting down/photographing the customs form numbers for each international shipment before the post office cashier files away the forms
• the post office the next town over literally telling me there is no possible way to track international shipments (LIE!)
• the local post office not having anything to do with my residence because for some reason, my native post office is in the next town over and the post office literally 2 minutes away (walking distance) is not for my zip code
• the local post office not having itemized receipts, just receipts with basic information, therefore I had nothing to prove/track/log shipments unless I made a list myself at the post office while being rung-up.

...things have been fucking WACKY as the label has grown.

I have done my best to stay on top of things and be extremely communicative with all customers about discrepancies (and I do believe I have done a great job at this). However, some of you are still waiting on things ordered in the last month. Everything is now packaged up, sealed, addressed, and just begging to be thrown onto the counter. It will be done when checks I'm receiving in a few days clear into the bank account.

I will be shipping every few days from now on or when your Paypal payment clears if funds are low and I have no buffer (usually happens when a brand new batch comes out, and the wait will then be only a few business days).

I am honoring any tracking/delivery confirmation/etc. requests from customers as long as they are willing to compensate for it. All packages are being shipped as Media Mail unless the customer requests otherwise. This runs the risk of inspection and stolen materials (which has happened) but I will not be held responsible for it in those instances. I will be able to prove that items have been shipped media mail in these instances now because of the changes I am making. Photographed or scanned proof.

Something to look forward to. The end of frustration in many facets.

<3 JUSTIN MARC LLOYD

Widow's Bath review

A review from Dead Formats:

This has the intensity and immediacy of a piece performed live. It's a interesting interplay on HNW vs. pure feedback annihilation. Like a balancing act of sorts. It's quite a ride, it takes many turns along the way and you are not sure of where it lets you off but it's totally worth it. Audio destruction in it's purest sense. You would almost swear that a Transformer was being tortured to death on the second side. It's a little on the long side but you won't notice. Limited to 40 copies.

Endometrium Cuntplow + Pregnant Spore - collaboration c20 (Love Torture)

20 minutes of varied harsh electronic sound with focus and intention on seeing eye to eye, and building off of what the other sees. It was like the only obvious next step in this friendship was to collaborate. The packaging itself is a treat, hand-made by David of Endometrium Cuntplow. This is the start of a project called "Cat Lady" in which you will probably hear more about in the near future.

Brandon Marshall (WR) - Neon Crayon Foliage Vol 1 - Out Of Print/Free Download

Brandon Marshall (WR) - Untitled c37 - RB-112

Quite a confusing release. And if you know anything about Rainbow Bridge, it's that we are akin to confusion in sounds, art and projects. This anonymous Baltimore young man responded to my request to put out his first tape (in order to use up a random stack of eight c37s that were hanging around my stock room for far too long) with enthusiasm after I saw him perform at an extremely awkward show. He did this amazingly powerful new-age synth piece that would have made Housecraft or Deep Tapes shit themselves (although it pretty much bored the hell out of the audience to the point where the only people left were the chaperones and 6 other people. Yea, let me emphasize how awkward this show was.) He submitted his work to me fairly quickly after that night. To my surprise, he not only wanted to remain anonymous (his name is not Brandon Marshall nor are his initials WR) but he submitted only two synth pieces reminiscent of his performance. The rest of the material is made up of a lengthy and un-altered movie clip and the most calming wall of static and rumbling I've ever heard. I could listen to 12 hours straight of that piece and probably never feel angry again for the rest of my life.

Pregnant Spore - Harmonious Salmon Hearts c38 review

Shitty google translation from Polish: Something is in the mood lately, which may be unpleasant at any time for the environment. I thought that I can unload the material, which is another form of deconstruction of sounds, but not entirely succeeded. Indeed, the material is good and very uncompromising. It happens a lot. But ... He made ​​me want to go out and someone przypierdolić. In some sense this can be considered as an interesting manifestation of communing with the music noise. One of the many symptoms. It is an album so intense and jealous. It absorbs the listener, even to force it.
