Seven Lies About Girls - "Make Yr Own Lightning" [4xCD-R]

Ohio-based Teen Action Records house band Seven Lies About Girls has created a monster. This quadruple CD-R straps a couple megatons of psychedelic dynamite to its stomach, lights itself on fire, and runs straight into your stereo. The release is essentially one truly massive track, clocking in at a preposterous 3 1/2 hours, that redefines the term “jam band.” Comprised of guitar, drums (helmed by Aaron Hibbs of Sword Heaven), and some electronic manipulation, the group blazes a trail through the sonic sphere with alternately noisy, forceful tribal blasts and more open, outer space meteor gunk. Through it all, there is not one second that could come close to being described as flimsy, weak, or just not awesome. From the get-go (the first disc dives straight into pure psych groove delirium), a tone of “no bullshit” is established so concretely that even when the pace seems to drop below spine-distorting, the track is held confidently together by its own gravity and inertia. The release comes in some of the coolest packaging I can ever remember; the four CD-Rs are housed in the four slit open corners of a glued-together, old, decorated LP sleeve (mine came in a copy of Men at Work’s Business as Usual).).

Seven Lies About Girls - "Post Apocalyptic Panty Pudding (The Out Sound From Within)" [C60]

With the less-woolly, rainstick-free jam approach of The Punks, Teen Action house-band Seven Lies About Girls drops ‘Post Apocalyptic Panty Pudding’ (subtitle: ‘The out sound from within’), a C60 inundated with free-form mayhem. Initially divided into a series of even segments as if it were some old greatest hits dub, side A is centered around a mid-tempo beat (really the only constantly figurative sound in this extreme lo-fi) played by Nathan Snell, the mass of sound emerges as whirlers, whistles, and whatever, an absurd swarming of carnival noise melted down into a thick blocks of dull color. Voices, applause, and some tape snippets break up this waxy wall and reinforce the liveliness and spirit which underpins the overwhelming mess. Side B, apparently demarcated by the sometimes presence of Aaron Hibbs (Noumena, Sword Heaven) on guitar, is a deeper collection of sounds without division, appearing like the mechanical innards of the other side’s festivities: sparking whips of steel, a scraping, churning murmur from outside, MIDI-afflicted chattering, and a relentless din suffocating the detail of whatever treble appears. This is the arcade of Ohio, inside and out. Cassette comes with Xeroxed J-card, limited to 50 copies.

Seven Lies About Girls - “Shit to Kill: I Fuck Electric ” [CDR]

Six different and challenging tracks, from 7LAG out of Columbus Ohio. Ranging from muffled fire gun and rifle shots, straight along drone outs, psycho dying hip hop organs, beeping bent electronic heartbeats, and pling plonging metal bars. It’s like the flea circus gone evil and kitty likes it. Handmade felt covers for each release!
