PH 002 Funeral Parlor // Nihilarch released // Whats next on Perfect Hue

I am happy to announce the release if the split between Houston's reflective Funeral Parlor and California's blackened power electronics outfit that is Nihilarch.

With two songs on each side, this release brings a tense intimacy throughout one's listen. Ranging from soothing synths on side A to the more harsher side of synth-based music on side B.

/25 on black cassette with a gold splatter signifying side A.


Secondly, I am proud to announce Perfect Hue's upcoming third release.




Tellurian Fields - Sistema Ox Bel Ha c32

I've known Thomas Moritgan (RU-486/Octagon/Black Leather Jesus/Destructive Industries) for a few years now and since starting this label, the man has been a huge help in getting me to where I need to be as a label runner.

He sent me a track of his ambient/drone project for the Dumpster Noise compilation (still awaiting artwork for this) and was blown away at the massive surge of drippy synth from the title track on this release.

A few words from the man himself which sheds light on what to expect from this release: "Deep blue cascades envelop the body as the immersion begins. Slowly, natural light dissipates as the descent becomes the infinite. There are no waves here, but rather weightless depth and stalactites for stars. The heavens beneath Quintana Roo move silently, the ever illuminated eternal night eclipsing the day as the depths are plummeted.

This release was inspired by the underwater cavern called Sistema Ox Bel Ha (Mayan, for “The Three Paths of Water”) located in Quintana Roo, Mexico."

I am personally excited to release this and will be making this release limited to 50 instead of the normal 25.

I hope you all are as excited as I am regarding this news.

Update (news on PH 001 and next release announcement)

Since moving into my new home, I have taken my time working on 3 releases for two labels (this and my first label I co-run Dumpster Noise Records). The Funeral Parlor tapes are dubbed (sound amazing on cassette) and waiting on the artwork to be printed off. Thanks for your patience.

Secondly, I am proud to announce my next release through this label that will start production once the previous tape is out.



Funeral Parlor // Nihilarch split c25.

Funeral Parlor's (left picture) side embarks where his last works "I Saw You Again" and "Axis Flowers" left off giving off a sense of vulnerable purpose. Listening to the track "Believe" now, one can hear the sheer intimacy brought out through the track. The repeated "I love you" leaves the listener completely mesmerized. The second track "Tourist" is filled with field recordings when walking through the city of Houston. Perhaps one can pinpoint where he is.



And here is a description from a good friend of mine and is side b of the split Nihilarch (right picture):

"Nihilarch is Zane Chleboun from Orange County, California. Fueled by the philosophy of Emil Cioran and created in the depths of ongoing anxiety and depression, Nihilarch came into existence as a contemplation on the lowest degradations of human consciousness. Zane's synth-based project includes elements of power electronics, noise, and heavily distorted vocals on his first album, "The True Criterion" but he is currently in the process of adapting a more minimal approach to despair by focusing more on drone and ambient soundscapes for his new album, “Divinity and Deprivation” to be released on Perfect Hue this summer."


The track uploaded is entitled "Oracles Of Ash" takes a much less harsh route than his debut album and almost sounds beautiful until Zane's raspy vocals come into the mix. The other track "Sanctuary" caught me off guard because the track is so beautiful and is one of my personal favorites off this soon-to-be release. Entrancing synths repeat as inaudible vocals proceed until the harsh vocals bash your eardrums.

Again, I am a believer in quality over quantity and these are worth the wait. I can throw these releases out and feel like I've cheated someone or I can take my time and put out a quality release.

Perfect Hue 001: Funeral Parlor - I Saw You Again // And I Felt Nothing c22

Exited to announce Perfect Hue's first release from Houston's textural electronics project entitled Funeral Parlor.

  

Originally from east texas, this project has completely stripped all equipment except a synth and tape recorder, which is almost completely different from his much more noisy discography.

"I Saw You Again" is meant to give off the warm feeling of nostalgia and does so from the minimal synth progressions along with the field recordings of a running water and even a shower.


"And I Felt Nothing" is meant to feel the emptiness of loss. Sounds from the background were in fact recorded at a wake ceremony as an outline for the rest of the song.


This is set to be released on 03/29/2015, but may be set back due to financial reasons.

I can say, this will be limited to 50 copies.

Until then, both tracks are available at: https://funeralparlor.bandcamp.com/album/i-saw-you-again-and-i-felt-nothing-c22

More soon...

Greetings

Perfect Hue is a Houston label directed to bring out upcoming and the more well known ambient, avant garde, and synth-based projects that catch my eye. This may change, but is focused to be a non-noise label. I feel there are enough labels around for that.

This will also be more of a cassette label until the foreseeable future.

I already have artists in mind that I want to release so please do not ask, but if you do have any questions or are wanting to make a purchase, please email/paypal me at sephy072004@aim,com (same address).

I hope you enjoy this as much as I plan to.
