The first release on a label is really an important, key move. It can set the tone for whats to come, and will no doubt be looked to for the roots of all successes or failures that follow it. I'm pretty stoked to have the first thing to come out on the Life Like be 20 minutes of sound that truly makes you feel like you've gone crazy and can't remember the last time you weren't insane. Corpsekisser encapsulates the mindset of the troubled child that doesn't want to feel better. You can hear parts of the so sick you feel euphoric sounds of early 90's Siltbreeze while the male/female tandem vocals and too-hazy-to-be-brutal recording calls to mind "Twin Infinitives" era Trux. AKA THIS RECORD IS FUCKED AND AMAZING! Silkscreened and spraypainted covers and the blank side of the LP has spraypainted stencils of skeleton feet.
Artist Bio:
Corpsekisser began during the tumultuous and difficult summer of 2004. Inspired by the nostalgia soaked creepiness of child-voiced horror movie soundtracks (Amityville Horror, Poltergeist, “1, 2, Freddy’s coming for you”), the duo of Heather Anderson and Ethan Swan intended to document that year with sufficiently troubled songs. At times disembodied, at times frantic, their voices lurk among the sounds of glockenspiel, guitar, dollar-store keyboard and toy piano. After six years of DIY shows in Portland and New York, Corpsekisser is proud to release their debut record. Recalling the deliberated, mundane dread of the Shadow Ring’s early bedroom days or perhaps a zombie version of Brigitte Fontaine & Areski’s musical wandering, “Cry Laughing” is a haunted, opaque, and occasionally gentle LP.
