DREAM005/TSA005 out now

The Bleakwood/Ekadzati split 7" is out now. Two bands and two labels whose sole purpose is the expression of iconoclastic black art join together in a trans-Pacific partnership to present their latest aural artifact—a split 7” documenting their wanderings in the crepuscular corridors of being. Drawing from Western and Eastern esoteric traditions respectively, Bleakwood and Ekadzati apply the force of sound as a skillful means to guide and challenge the listener into liminal states and dark dreams. Their efforts move in counterpoint, nudging the listener through ravenous motion, crawling melodic stasis, dizzy rhythmic stuttering... Co-released by Milam Records (US) and Tactical Solutions Recordings, the split is presented in a unique wingfold sleeve fastened with an obi strip which comes in one of five colors. All orders include a download code for the digital edition. Taste it here. Limited to 250 copies, includes a download card.
