AUSTRALIAN DIGITAL EDITION ON THE MIGHTY DUAL PLOVER LABEL, CONSISTING OF 10 TRACKS NOT AVAILABLE ON THE DEATHBOMB ARC DIGITAL VERSION!!! Ahoy Clubbers get ready to rumble as Los Angeles’ godlike Captain Ahab return with the Australian red edition of End of Irony. Seamen of the highest order team Ahab are part machine, part dance savant, who spout post club raveploitation music riddled with estranging misogynistic lyrics with a thoroughly homoerotic aftertaste.

***DOKAKA is a DIY human synthesizer: just a man and his voice. No effects, no auto-tune, no edits, no sampling. Not really a true beatboxer (he multitracks his vocals sometimes as many as 20 passes per song) he began vocally mimicking music while humming along to the television as a child and by the age of six was making tapes of his efforts. The bass-player missed a practice session by the band in which Dokaka played drums as a teenager, and he filled in by humming the bassline. The singer was so taken with his vocal ability he encouraged him to record more on his own. His vocal-only interpretations of Led Zeppelin, Slayer, The Rolling Stones, and many others gained cult status when his MP3s went viral (and attracted the attention of Björk, who incorporated his unusual skill into her 2004 Medúlla album). Available for the first time outside of Japan, Human Interface includes 17 hours of vocal insanity multi-tracked into 88 muttered micro-tracks.

***Famed and marveled at for his dangerous and bloody amplification of broken glass, LUCAS ABELA (aka JUSTICE YELDHAM) went to China and formed the improv trio RICE CORPSE (named after the Chinese character for shit, which itself is the combination of two characters for corpse and rice). According to Yeldham, they achieved what he had hoped for almost immediately: "a jarring offbeat rhythm section accompanied by my free noise." Ultra-loud, out, and proud drummer YANG YANG (MAFEISAN) and saxophonist-turned-pianist LI ZENGHUI force the seasoned glass man to take his instrument in surprising new directions. "A distinctly abrasive, offbeat noise act," Says Stylus, "That defies logic to the delight of experimental-sound lovers everywhere." Australian import.

***Not to be confused with the Purple Loon, Purple Diver, Purple Grebe, Purple Gallinule or Purple Coot the PURPLE DUCK is the more common name for the best MC in the world—hot enough to burn down a herd of yobbo MCs like pieces of wood. Dual Plover fans undoubtedly remember the Duck from his appearance on the seminal SUICIDAL RAP ORGY album Genital Warfare. The less threatening side of duckmania is on display here, with dope hip hop tracks alongside a quick succession of genres that fly hard and fast (everything from the punk rock of "Love Tampon" to the tear-jerking ballad "Everyone's Dying."). Australian import.

***“TOXIC LIPSTICK are the hottest chix in grade 9, so u better bring a spare pair of undies in case u cream your good ones!!!! These ca-razy teens are emotional and hard hitting, with matching uniforms and voices that harmonise perfectly. Often they tear their uniforms off at exactly the same time to reveal amazing rock eisteddfod-esque costumes underneath. This move is generally busted just before the girls drop le bass. Most people are all too aware of the fact that Toxic Lipstick are professional athletes who are unafraid to bust BITCHEN dance moves right in your face. In light of this astounding information, certain jealous types have reverted to the spreading of vicious rumours about the girls. For instance, it is purported Toxic Lipstick is no more than a front for failed early ‘90s psy trance band ‘Sexual Acid and the Phfat Tits’ in a desperate bid to re-launch their non existent career. Anyone who believes this cruel lie must surely be wasted on premium triple dipped brown acid, as the girls were only born in the early ‘90s, boasting the same age as Nikki Webster.”

***Yep SISSY SPACEK and Dual Plover, a match made in heaven. Here is the spiel "since 1999, Sissy Spacek has been one of the most difficult groups around, with a starting point of full-on blur/grindcore and an evolution to the definition of the most extreme/intense fringes of musique concrete, instantly identifiable by the handiwork of JOHN WIESE. On this, their fifth proper album, Sissy Spacek explore new territory, as always, and take turns no one could foresee into electroacoustic improv, collage, industrial, noise and heavy metal, with a line up that includes KEVIN DRUMM, KATE HALL (MIKA MIKO), SAM OTT (THE FUCKING ANGELS), CORYDON RONNAU, Wiese, and C. SPENCER YEH (BURNING STAR CORE). French record is their strongest and most mature yet."

***Sydney, Australia's favorite chronically depressed, long-term unemployed, alcoholic, asthmatic, homosexual electronic music pioneer spent the waking half of two years concocting his third collection of solo works. If his previous Ruffini Corpuscle was a plumb designed to measure the depths of a luscious aural abyss, Instant Oblivan is the measurement discovered by its predecessor's journey deep into exquisite musical epiphany. "Bradbury is a master sonic bricklayer," concludes Mess + Noise Magazine, "who has the ins and outs of tension and release down pat."

***An unguided tour guide down Memory Lane. First stop: turn-of-the-century style American folk played on banjo, kazoo, guitar, musical saw, and a collection of spittoons, frying pans and medicine bottles. AL DUVALL’s vaudevillian songs are steeped in black wit, double entendre and clever wordplay about kleptomaniacs, moonshiners, criminals, loners and even more shadowy figures. "His lyrics," says Folk It Up, "strike with … the bravado of a Tom Waits album … with a twinge of the old Vaudeville stage thrown in for good measure." Timid Mischief mixes old-timey, ragtime, sea shanty, Victorian parlor and jug band musics recorded on wax cylinders and other lo-fi devices. These songs should have been written between 1900 and 1930; he just never got around to it until now.

***A retrospective Best Of NEW WAVER’s infamous cassette series spanning the 1990s—essentially Top 40 hits with the lyrics changed to address all aspects of loserdom, or Weird Al with a severe case of neo-Darwinian pessimism (a world view in which everything comes down to survival of the fittest, where the strongest and most dominant triumph and the rest are sidelined, ostracized, beaten up, and generally lead miserable, pointless lives). Inpress Magazine nailed it: "Boring folks from the tax office ... tired ... and beaten down by society ... singing boring songs from the '80s. It sounds terrible, but it's not. It's genius."

***“Sing a little ditty with SADIE, the all singing all dancing queen of the burgeoning underground show tunes scene and real winner of last year’s Plover (or something). Her songs hark back to the war years, a simpler time, when singing prowess was often overlooked, favoring instead sharp and biting lyrics centered on drinking, dancing and prostitutes long passed their used by date, sung and danced with all the skill and execution of Florence Foster Jenkins. No newcomer, Sadie has been performing various song and dance acts since she was a very small child, and now for the first time her talents are available for your enjoyment in the home. Her debut EP Songs For Swingers gives you 14 minutes of sheer brilliance that will have you tapping while doing the dishes and other household chores.”
