FCR110 & HSAL #65: A take on “instrumental rock music” that glides across a sonic pendulum using electronics and groove to measure its amplitude. This is a co-release with a VERY LIMITED run of super special cassettes. TLVS had created a new EP’s worth of material to follow 2022’s “Beauty In The Ghost” and began shopping it around. Buffalo’s Friend Club Records expressed interest and the two parties began to collude on a release. TLVS connected with Powerviolet, who had released “Wavelengths” through Friend Club in 2022, on the prospect of a split release.

Fast forward to the winter of 2023 becoming 2024…The digital version of this collection is available to stream most everywhere. The physical version has been meticulously crafted and is nearly in the hands of Friend Club, who has decided to close up shop. Your friendly neighborhood record label has taken the reigns on this and are currently shipping out the last few unclaimed copies.
