BROWNHILL MAFIA

060825

”Kärpäsruudin pölyssä piehtaroiva nuorukainen nauraa hampaattomalla suullaan. Hän on löytänyt autuuden satuttamalla itseään, ei koskaan muita.”

METSÄKIRKKO – PARANVOI digipack-CD

Brownhill Mafia’s first pro-CD production is a new full-length by heathen outdoorsmen Metsäkirkko. The instruments which consist of heat pipes, bones, flutes, an accordion etc. were recorded in a moldy cowshed while the vocals were laid down in an old war bunker in the woods. 32 minutes of mycological music.

METSÄKIRKKO – Outo kesytön polku

This cassette wasn’t really intended to be put out publicly in the first place, hence the pretty low-profile release. It is an archive tape of sorts and includes for example sounds of harmonica, bone horns, rusty bells and wheelbarrow percussion. The C40 tape comes housed in a cardboard box stamped with a lino-cut print that resembles a rock painting. Xeroxed inserts etc. included.

LIMINAL ARCHAEOLOGY SERIES 4: UNCLE’S WEDDING

The wedding march plays and the birds sing. You can smell the freshly cut birch trees and taste the sandwich cake. The guests, if there are any, are awfully quiet. Both the bride and the groom consent and thus the holy union is formed. Warm summer breeze blows over the fields and slowly the day passes, but the night has just begun… 32 minutes of air organ, synthesizer and concrete sounds. 50 copies made.

SIR LISELOT – TERRA MORFI

The peace-loving Morfi folk live in an endless forest and mold giants out of the magical clay. When a giant is ready, it wakes up and takes off to help smaller creatures around the forest. The Morfi like to celebrate and parties are thrown often. The Morfi have two mouths and two noses. One mouth is for communication and the other for singing. Why two noses, nobody knows… ”Terra Morfi” is a soundtrack of the strange lives of these creatures. It is an album of psychedelic fairytale music, guaranteed to surprise and delight the listener. Sir Liselot a.k.a. Liisa Tani is an award-nominated songwriter and producer, also known as part of the groups Ghost World and Kippo. ”Terra Morfi” is her first instrumental album. The tape is released in co-operation by Brownhill Mafia, Tobold Piipari Records, Topaasi Tapes and Artsy Records.

CHESTBURSTER – PIG’S BLOOD

The pig is taking its last breaths. Three years and a whole lot of unfortunate turns later we present you the new EP by true underground rock’n’rollers Chestburster. Pig’s Blood is another disgrace in the band’s discography: Five songs in 19 minutes of good old ’Burster in edition of 100 tapes.

After this, it is time to disappear into the woods for the summer. We’ll keep you posted about possible gigs and future releases.

WILLING TO QUIT BUT NOT ABLE TO

The semi-legendary BHM compilation tape ”Able To Quit But Not Willing” came out in 2014, showcasing the style and intent of Brownhill affiliated bands at the time. Now almost ten years later we are proud to present the next tape in the series: ”Willing To Quit But Not Able To”. When you press PLAY you can hear that somewhat strange growths have taken hold during the years.

Spanning 65 minutes and ten artists, the multi-genre compilation ranges from psychedelic folk to harsh noise, black metal and even punk rock. And most of the material isn’t even genre music in any sense! There is a rich and weird assortment of sounds and approaches and still the whole makes sense in some way. Perhaps there is a unifying factor in terms of underground spirit to be found: Homemade and from the heart. Like many other Brownhill releases, this tape is mastered by the craftsman Pekka Kiiliäinen.

BHM wants to emphasize the importance of a physical release and deep listening, so the Bandcamp version will be available a bit later. Cassette tape is the primary format for us, as always.

LIMINAL ARCHAEOLOGY SERIES 3: THE WHITEHAVEN EXPERIMENT

It’s hard to recall the specifics of the experiment. There’s something wrong with the timeline. As if someone was constantly switching the channel only to return to a different section of the same program. Third part of the series relies heavily on working with magnetic tape but once again the approach to sound has been re-evaluated for unexpected  results. 30 minutes of experimental material.

MONGREL TACTICS / HÄKKI -split

SAMULI NÄSI – RUCKUS

Brownhill Mafia is proud to present the solo debut tape by guitarist Samuli Näsi. Many years in the making, the material has been thoroughly meditated upon and refined to its full potential. The tape contains instrumental music played with acoustic 6 and 12 steel string guitars and lap steel. The listening experience is like pouring the works of golden age impressionist painters into your ear canals.
