ART IS HARD is a small independent record label in Bristol (UK) run by two friends influenced by the attitude and ethics of labels such as Factory, Wichita, Anticon and Dischord. They have a strange habit: release things – mainly postcards – with music, but they published a scarf with download code too.
To celebrate their seventh birthday they asked seven label artists Samuel Stacpoole from Black Tambourines, KEEL HER, /please/, The Death of Pop, Shunkan, Gorgeous Bully, Oro Swimming Hour to record a 50 second song. Each track is an infectious burst of garage balladry, lo-fi bliss or trademark jangle:
300 copies black 7″ flexidisc with gold foil artwork with a postcard containing a download code. And if you would like to get postcards with music regularly then join the club.

but what is Taos Humm, id est Taos Hum?
Challenging childhood on a council estate outside Swindon (UK), saw him immerse himself in music, books and poetry as a means of escape.
„As a kid, I thought no one in the world felt like me. Then I discovered Nick Drake, Daniel Johnston, Conor Oberst and Kurt Cobain. Hearing Sparklehorse was a revelation. Their music expressed exactly how I felt. It was a hugely liberating experience because suddenly I wasn’t alone.”
„I was this loser emo kid, sitting in my room, trying to come to terms with all the negativity in my life. As self-therapy, I made these little songs about how I felt. Writing them was a cathartic release. Rather than carry this heavy subject matter around in my head, which made me depressed, I turned it in to music. I took the cliche´s of pop – the structure, the form, the earworm hooks, the emphasis on rhythm – and made them ugly in order to address wider demons. The idea that anyone would hear it was appalling. Those really were my diary entries. They were so personal and humiliating. I felt incredibly exposed.” But by accident, one of Oliver’s early songs was discovered by Adrian Dutt, his co-worker at a Bristol record store and co-owner of Howling Owl Records.
“You’re So Kool-Aid, for example, has a catchy tune, a beat and a bass synth. It’s funky, but it’s about suicide.”
From the album Post-Frenz Container Buzz

New album Amateur Pro-Wrestling out soon on STOLEN BODY RECORDS (UK).

Joanna Gruesome is among the best indie rock band. The Welsh group combines garage punk with indie pop in a very unique style. There will be released two split records soon. And in both case Joanna Gruesome is the much better. Maybe there are some tactics on one side. The first split is a 12″ EP with lo-fi indie pop band Trust Fund from Bristol
vinyl & digital on Reeks of Effort (UK) and vinyl on HHBTM Records (US)

I very like Total Punk Records, not just for their releases, but also for their name. Because it’s absolutely enough to write that Golden Pelicans‘ debut album by Total Punk, and everything is clear
