about

We're extremely proud to present a career-shifting release by the Brooklyn-based, global spirit known lovingly as Gaul Plus. Following up the rugged immediacy of his 2022 EP "Soiled Ether", he finds new depth within his jagged, tectonic arrangements on "Hissing Nest", with stunning vocal features and rusted palettes that mature and enrich with each listen. We'll allow him to elaborate in his own words:

"It’s a bit daunting to write psychoautobiographically about an invisible art form so I’m going to lead with intention - and maybe it is just the labyrinths that led me to this place - but essentially I wanted to build something like a carnivorous plant growing in that little piss patch just left of the well-beaten earth stage front. Something dense, unhygienic and purposefully inconvenient, like a smokers mating call for seducing your madness coming the other way. Rhythms descending and ascending staircases simultaneously, bathrooms with holes cut in the floor so you can see the crashing waves below, or a giant lurching mechanism one loose screw from a total collapse. Sadly there’s nothing here resembling a safe-room, every wall is violently splattered with red paint. It’s a tumultuous space built by one-take analog sessions in the backdrop of murderous, racist, colonial ideologies ever encroaching on the zen garden so desperately needed in the floor plan.

This decrepit, boot-shaped bit of badlands is not without spirit though! James K’s voice will have you wanting to tie yourself to the mast of a ship! POiSON GiRL FRiEND’s shadow will elegantly echo survival tips as you move through the structure! That metaphor aside here’s another metaphor. This is the most rocks I’ve ever been able to fit in my mouth and still beat box. Does that count for anything?

Thank you so much to the philosopher’s stone Gina Lee for the art layout and EVERYTHING else. Loric Sih for the incredible mastering and vocal recording help. Cato Ouyang (whose work has put pins through me on numerous occasions throughout the recording process) for permitting us to include the front illustration in the album art. Sam Clarke for being a joyously obsessed fire-starter who can literally make my mouth water when he talks about music (and for putting out the record of course). So many more… but basically the thing I care about most in the world is good conversation, so essentially this is a reflection of years of incredible conversations with brilliant minds on the margins. I love you!"
