NNA039: Nate Young "Stay Asleep: Regression Vol. 2" LP
It's an honor for us to present the latest solo recording from Nate Young, founding member of Michigan noise legends Wolf Eyes. This record represents a new direction for Young, as he deviates from trademark aggressive murk-and-misery sounds of his previous works, and instead opts for a queasy, subdued zombie lullaby consisting of bizarre rhythms, synthetic melodies, and almost gamelan-sounding ritual sleepwalking. Featuring an epic closer with contributions from past & present Wolf Eyes members Aaron Dilloway and John Olson. This is a record to sit and get absorbed in, a non-linear travel through a different place altogether. Mastered by Lupo at Dubplates & Mastering in Berlin.

NNA038: Co La "Daydream Repeater" LP
It's time to welcome in the era of New Exotica with "Daydream Repeater", the debut LP by Co La, gentleman and purveyor of all things avant-luxury. Matthew Papich designs a new sonic territory, creating something that nods to Jamaican Rocksteady and 50's American Pop in spirit, but ultimately presents an elegant re-purposing of those parts into fresh, smart, electronic music. For all seeking an attitude adjustment in the era of austerity, try burning one for Co La's cultivated luxury sound - you may find an emerging solidarity slipping into your ears. In other words - if you're too wise to live straight, you better grip this sound sooner than later. Mastered by Lupo at Dubplates & Mastering in Berlin.

Dirty trance, harsh noise breakbeats, minimal house moods, and overall imaginative techno from the likes of Liz Harris (Grouper), Driphouse, Future Blondes, Fecalove, and a sweaty handful of mystery characters.

Coppertone is Los Angeles' Sasha Wiseman, a one-woman pop damager specializing in cold, beat-driven anthems swathed in quietly intimidating atmospherics. "Kill and Release" offers bodily transport into a world that's as surreal and synthetic as it is strangely familiar – something like the dream sequence of a horror film. A woman armed with a net, a knife, keyboards, and lust. Limited edition pressing of 300 copies.

NNA032: Diamond Catalog "Magnified Palette" LP
NNA is proud to present the debut LP by Diamond Catalog, the new duo of Lala Conchita and "Glamorous" Pat Maherr (Indignant Senility, Expressway Yo-Yo Dieting, and so on). This full-length is the definitive statement of Diamond Catalog's concoction of cross-bred dance music and mutated, swirling noise bricolage. "Magnified Palette" seems to exist in five dimensions of sound, with factory-booming beats creating a mechanical-yet-organic framework for devious sonic chatter to wind its way through. Imagine the sound of a distant rave in the midst of a disorienting drug spell, wading your way through the infinity of your mind's own dark matter.

An impressive display of expansive ambient techno-tinged digital music from Brooklyn, NY electronic producer Laurel Halo. The destinations on "Antenna" range from dystopian synth storms to airy, gaseous rays of light, finally culminating in deep, beat-driven abstractions. Laurel demonstrates a strong ear for composition and a passion for vivid sound.

NNA030: Drainolith "Where Are Ye Col. Leslie Groves?" c20
Montréal lurker and AIDS Wolf guitarist Alexander Moskos has bestowed us with one of our most baffling cassettes yet. Not unlike parlor music being played by an insane asylum patient, Moskos rips intangible, Monk-esque MIDI piano hallucinations over sporadic drum pad wailing and other miscellaneous electronic mishaps. Fake jazz or real truth?

NNA028: Mike Shiflet "Honeyed Crest" c22
Mike Shiflet conjures a harrowing atmosphere of dark, melodic storm clouds on "Honeyed Crest". A dense fog of organic buzz permeates through both sides of the tape, only to be pierced by a siren's choir of shimmering, jagged guitar fuzz. As always, Shiflet expertly holds a microscope to texture and detail, creating a massive entity of cascading melody and contemplative sound.

NNA027: Dog Lady "The Garden of Agony" c17
Dog Lady's Mike Collino has made a name for himself in the world of noise in the last few years, with highest quality releases on labels such as RRR, Fag Tapes, and Chocolate Monk. "The Garden of Agony" continues this standard with Collino's unique recipe of violin and tape manipulation. Drugged-out bowing and awkward plucks drag across rusted strings while drifting through antique melodies, seasick tape loops, and caustic cracked electronics.

NNA021: Dylan Ettinger "Botany Bay" c24
This tape plays like the soundtrack you might hear at a night out on a Studio 54-themed dance vessel in the far reaches of the galaxy. Eddie Murphy and Alf are there, buying drinks for some three-breasted siamese twins while you slam your sixth canister of toxic nectar. Pass out on the Bay.
