Altered Zones

Brooklyn-based DIY label Blackburn Recordings is offering up a second helping of savory lo-fidelity cuts with Various Deficiencies Vol. 2. The compilation features a blend of highly relevant spices, including tracks from Sweet Bulbs, who now go by Heaven's Gate after shedding some members; King Cyst, formally known as No Demons Here, solo-project of Big Troubles's Luka Usmiani; Sultan, who is also moving to greener pastures; and Amen Dunes, who has recently released albums on both Sacred Bones and Fixed Identity. To layer awesome on top of awesome, they're feeding all of it to us for free through WFMU's Free Music Archive. But for the vinyl enthusiasts who would rather chow down on a plate of wax, Blackburn has started a Kickstarter campaign to help you help them cook it themselves. Donate enough and you can even write the liner notes. --Ian Pearson, Altered Zones
