Nick Hudson

'The Elegy'

The first part of a self-devouring trilogy themed around death, immolation and rebirth, Nick Hudson’s first release on Kiddiepunk Records, ‘The Elegy’ verges on the sublime so frequently that it seems like he must have made a deal with an omnipotent deity. At once tender, expansive, intimate and beautiful, ‘The Elegy’ occupies that infinite, indefinable space in between the worlds; a place that words can not define or describe; songs that open up entire, utterly vivid and transcendant 'scapes. Spare, haunting and delicately forthright, ‘The Elegy’ weaves together chant, folk-song, Americana, and subtle electronics to create a deeply stirring and evocative work.
Featuring cover artwork by Alex Rose.

Aspen Michael Taylor

'Tennis'

Mixing analogue drones and recontextualised experiments with feedback recorded between nine years with samples of reverb-drenched Hanson songs, this tape-only release, is maybe what it would sound like if you could put a tape recorder inside someone’s psyche.

The Time Of The Assassins

'Little Slumberland' ep

The Time Of The Assassins' 'Little Slumberland' ep is ground zero for both the band and Kiddiepunk Records. Released in May 2007 as an entree to long-player 'Awake In Slumberland's' main course, the ep serves up three cuts from the record with two slabs of improvised-in-the-studio mayhem. Aspen Michael Taylor did the front cover art and photographs by Joel Westendorf adorn the back cover and booklet.

Carisa Bianca Mellado

'The New Queen'

Known for her work in The Time Of The Assassins, Carisa Bianca Mellado’s stunning debut solo record ‘The New Queen’ is a record so bold, forthright and utterly unclassifiable that it feels like it’s rewriting all the rules of genre. Hovering between experimental classical, gothic and avant opera, ‘The New Queen’ takes on a haunting and otherworldly quality, leading the listener through ancient corners of the psyche – as though dancing through medieval carnivals and coronations; into dark dungeons, barns and funeral grounds. At times harrowing, disturbing, luscious and grandiose, ‘The New Queen’ is a deeply affecting work of true artistry and vast beauty.

The Time Of The Assassins

'Awake In Slumberland'

Combining TTOTA's penchant for slow, repetitive trance music, like epic 16 minute track ‘The Return’, the sprawling ‘Mad A’ and the instrumental ‘The Double’ with the apocalyptic post-punk of ‘Bones’ and ‘70 Days & 70 Nights’ and more experimental numbers like the tribal ‘The Valley Of The Kings’, the war-opera battle call ‘Prayer’ and the pounding electricity of ‘Math’, 'Awake In Slumberland' paints a landscape which is populated by ghosts, mythology, intoxication, madness and electricity that builds slowly to its frenzied climax, leaving the listener in an altered, almost disorientated state.
Recorded at Electrical Audio in Chicago by Steve Albini.

Aspen Michael Taylor

'Milk Teeth'

KPR-006... Might as well be KPR-666 with the unabashed hell that gets unleashed on this new release by Aspen Michael Taylor. Features three tracks, including 'The Anti-Birth', which is akin to being trapped inside an emotional black hole. Managing to be both desperate and expansive, it's locked inside a deep groove one part hell-stasis, one part beatific. By the time you get to the second track, 'Celing', a sonic replication of a very specific physical interior, you come face-to-face with something evil that lives "up there", in that particular corner where the walls meet the ceiling. What does it all mean? You'll know when you hear it and you turn it up real fucking loud. 'Milk Teeth' comes in special hand-assembled packaging and also includes an 8-page zine. The actual disc is of the protective black dye kind.
