The album is a selection of tracks from her cd-r trilogy released last year ("Crusader", "Alliance", & "Ocean Woman") hence the title "Trilogy Select". Recorded between 2006 and 2009 in a variety of locations including The Hague, Lisbon, Paris, and New York. Also features the track "Rites Of Fusion" which is a collaboration with Dan Lopatin (Oneohtrix Point Never). The material was carefully edited into a cohesive album and then mastered by Carl Saff in Chicago. Music takes a new life.

Liner notes for PIXARNI:

THERE ARE MANY THEORIES THAT ATTEMPT TO EXAMINE/EXPLAIN THE E.T.ABDUCTION PHENOMENON, SOME EXPERTS ON THE SUBJECT HAVE FOUND A CONGENITAL RELATION BETWEEN THE “CLOSE ENCOUNTER EXPERIENCE” AND THE UNCONSCIOUS MIND. THE ABDUCTION ORIGINATING FROM REALMS OF CONSCIOUSNESS SO FAR HIDDEN WITHIN OUR MINDS THAT WHEN THEY SURFACE THESE ASPECTS OF SELF ARE LITERALLY FOREIGN OR ALIEN THOUGHTS,RAISING OUT AS A VIVID DREAM,AS AN ALIEN CRAFT DESCENDING OUT OF THE DEEP SPACE THAT IS THE INNER MIND.THIS FANTASTIC DISPLAY, A SYMBOLIC REGISTRY OF THE MIND’S NETWORK MESSAGING A CODE OF THE SELF UNTO ITSELF, WHERE THE "ABDUCTION" IS THIS COMING INTO AWARENESS OF THE "DEEP SPACE" EVENT.OTHERS RELATE THE MORE NIGHTMARISH ABDUCTION PHENOMENON TO THE TRAUMA OF THE BIRTH EXPERIENCE.WHICH CONSIDERING THE DESCENT THROUGH THE BIRTH CANAL, THE MEDICAL LIGHTS, THE COLD HANDS OF THE DOCTOR IN CONTRAST TO THE WOMB,THE EMBILICAL CORD AND,IN SOME CASES THE CIRCUMCISION RITUAL, IT’S EASY TO SEE THESE EXPERIENCES EMERGING LATER IN LIFE IN THE DEAD CALM OF NIGHT IN THE FORM OF A SUDDEN EXTRATERRESTRIAL ABDUCTION. SOME HAVE RELATED THE PHENOMENON TO EXTERNAL EXPOSURE TO SOUNDS AND VIBRATIONS EXPERIENCED BY THE HUMAN EMBRYO WHILE IN THE PHYLOGENY OF THE REPTILIAN-LIKE STAGES OF OUR PRENATAL DEVELOPEMENT. PIXARNI IS COMPRISED OF TWO PIECES REPRESENTING THESE 3 THEORIES.THE FIRST TRACK “UNKNOWN VISITORS” IS MUSIC AFTER THE DREAMTIME ABDUCTION WHERE SOFT FOCUSED PARTS OF THE SELF DESCEND OUT OF THE DARKNESS OF OUR INNER SPACE AS NOCTURAL LIGHTS FROM PLANETS UNKNOWN INTO OUR AWARENESS WHILE THE SECOND TRACK “R-COMPLEX” IS A COMPOSITE OF THE TRAUMATIC BIRTH/AND PRENATAL EXSPOSURE THEORIES MEANT TO PLACE THE FOCUS ON THE PSYCHOLOGICAL REALM OF THE PHENOMENON.

DISTRO ACTION 4 - WHITE RING / oOoOO SPLIT 7"

Have had this one over in the store for awhile. Copies of a split 7" between White Ring & oOoOO released on the new Swedish label EMOTION. Word is still out on what name is going to stick for describing this new subgenre of music. Top 3 candidates are: "Drag", "Goth-Step", & "Witch-House". Audio samples at the label link above & here's a fine fine video for oOoOO's featured track "Seaww" made by the one and only Dan Lopatin (Oneohtrix Point Never/Games/etc). Whoa!!

New OESB Artist Alert - SwimJams!!!

After close to two years of grueling negotiations and a bidding war with Drag City, OESB is extremely excited to announce a brand new signing. From Oklahoma - the alt-metal psych-rock of the mighty SwimJams - their debut double lp with dvd boxset titled "Twin Swimfinitives" is scheduled for an early July release. Until then you can whet your appetite with these home-recorded videos.

NOTE: For an approximation of the truly mind-warping sonic attack of their new album we recommend that you play all these videos simultaneously.
