| News Welcome to the Helen Scarsdale Agency. We are pleased to announce the release of the epic album Ocean On Ocean by The Slaves -- the Portland, Oregon duo of Barbara Kinzle and Birch Cooper, whose radiant shoegazing heaviness has been favorably compared to Grouper, Barn Owl, Earth, and the like. It was in fact Barn Owl's Jon Porras who introduced us to The Slaves, and he was kind enough to wax poetic about the album. Read what he has to say by clicking on the album artwork, and while you're at it, why not pre-order the album? Only 400 copies of the vinyl! The Slaves What Are The Roots That Clutch 2LP/ Digital release date : November 27, 2012  |

Recently published: Murmer What Are The Roots That Clutch CD / Digital Murmer -- aka Patrick McGinley and producer for Resonance FM's exceptional field recording radio show Framework -- refines field recordings within mysterious atmospherics and hallowed minimalism for another wonderful record in his stellar catalogue of albums. Jim Haynes The Decline Effect 2LP / Digital From our perspective, it has been way too long for these recordings to see the light of day. But the test pressings are finally up to snuff, and we can now comfortably announce the forthcoming 2LP opus from the Agency's Jim Haynes. The album is entitled The Decline Effect, featuring plenty of obfuscated field recordings, tactile noises, sodden electronics, and blustery drones. BJ Nilsen & Stilluppsteypa Big Shadow Montana LP / Digital BJ Nilsen & Stilluppsteypa return to the Helen Scarsdale Agency with the apparitional Big Shadow Montana, an album of slow-motion delirium manifested in occluded smears, nocturnal gasps, and arcane tones from a variety of analogue synthesizers. Amidst the near constant wash of bleary-eyed etherialism, Big Shadow Montana cycles through several sonic themes and leitmotifs, displayed in varying states of clarity. In these transitions between half-remembered phrases and bleary-eyed thrumming, the album emerges as if it were the aftermath from a protracted bout of metaphysical channel surfing. later on...
