the wizards & wackos at Ecology: HomeStones have returned to grace your speakers once again.
have you ever wanted to experience the fantastic american healthcare system without the expensive bills? no? well you’re in luck! this tape was recorded during extended periods bouncing between medical centers, and later reconstructed into wild brutal glitched out noise.
“as ecstatic as it is enfeebling, ecology: homestones’ “my hospital” is medical trauma made sonic. every moment of rest is temporary. every second feels like you’re dying. harsh greyscale from a single overhead fluorescent light on the fritz. the first track, “can you feel her touching your legs,” asks a question you’re still asking yourself by the end of a terrifying journey that glides through unfamiliar hallways and cold rooms. definitely not for the faint of heart, but a necessary listen nonetheless.” – bacillus anthracis
a while ago we solicited tracks from artists, anyone who wanted to send something had the chance to get on this comp, and as a reward they would receive a copy of the tape, and a single dollar bill.
now, the tape is ready! culled down to just under 90 minutes, 27 tracks, all from the hottest freshest weirdos out there. we love yall.
this awesome artwork was done by Lucius Acker, who also appears on the comp as Petaloid
you can check out the comp on YouTube with timestamps here. but do consider buying a tape, they’re $1 and they’re cool. ok?
following the further cooperation between Google and the U.S.A. dictatorship, dollar tapes is abandoning blogspot in favor of the radical site you are currently on. noblogs is an amazing service run by great folks! it is a member of the A/I collective, which holds similar goals to the label.
“struggle for a world where fairness, equal rights and freedom are the corner stones of people’s life; fight back a society too interested in controlling us and in knowing who we are instead of what do we think or love/hate; resist to the widespread idea that any single moment of our life can be traded with money or economically valuable stuff.”
fuck yeah! awesome right? further distancing the label from anything against humanities survival. also in the process of uploading our releases to archive.org, in order to give YOU the ability to hear this music if you can’t afford (or don’t want to support) the label.
Dollar Tapes is an anti-profit audio cassette label based in southern California. All cassettes are sold at a loss, at $1 each with the goal of building community through art, and introducing folks to radical creations.
