CALVING
SIDE A / B
11 TRACKS · 38:21 · NO BONUS · NO REMIXLINER NOTES
RECORDED OCT '25 — FEB '26 · BASEMENT, NDGRECORDING
tracked in a basement with no heat. one mic. one shitty interface. a tape echo that won't stop drifting. we kept the drift.
mixed twice — once at home, once at the kitchen table. mastered to tape and never re-mastered. what you hear is the second pass and the only pass.
the cassette is a real-time dub from a CrO₂ master. we sit at the deck and run them off in real time, two at a time. it takes us a week to do a hundred. that's why there are 200.

WHAT IT IS / ISN'T
this tape will not be on streaming. ever. if you've got a digital copy, that's your bandcamp purchase, not a license. don't upload it. thanks.
no remix, no bonus, no deluxe. eleven tracks, side A and side B, 38:21. when the tape ends it ends.
★ if a track skips on your deck — clean the heads. ours skip too. it's the cassette, not the master. usually.
FROM A6 — "THE SLOW CALVING" the shelf goes silent first / then it speaks once /a sound like a cathedral coughing —we kept the cough. we kept the cathedral.we kept the quiet after.
THE VAULT
BANDCAMP-ONLY · NO STREAMINGWHAT THEY WROTE
3 PIECES · NO PRESS RELEASE WAS SENT“Refuses to release on streaming and somehow that refusal is the loudest thing on the tape. Production sounds like ice shelves calving — that's not metaphor, that's the mix.”
“Internal rhyme three- and four-deep, delivered at the speed of a nervous system. Reward third and fourth listens; punish casual ones.”
“200 cassettes, no streaming, no licensing. A small, exact gesture against a very large, very vague era.”
