about

GELD - Beyond The Floor LP (LUNGS-168 / SSR077)

Across 10 songs and a handful of instrumentals, Melbourne's GELD demonstrate a concerted progression from their previous work; raging incendiary hardcore collides with nightmarish bad trip wanderings in a swirling maelstrom of tightly marshalled chaos. The fast parts are faster, the slow parts slower, the weird parts weirder. The vicious thrashing punk of songs like "Invader" and "Infra" come in at a little over a minute; a wild joyride reminiscent of the Japanese Burning Spirits bands alongside Cleveland’s infamous ‘90s hardcore scene. Meandering hallucinogenic badness meanwhile emanates from "Gedankenfleisch", "Forces At Work" and "L.O.W.A.G. II", injecting the record with a terrifying sense of drug paranoia and psychological dissolution bringing to mind STICKMEN WITH RAYGUNS, FLIPPER or POISON IDEA. Purportedly undertaken as something of an exorcism, the writing and recording of ‘Beyond The Floor’ was characterized by “pills, meth, booze, weed, DMT, hate, betrayal, fear, love, depression, addiction, denial and broken bones”.

150 copies on Gold vinyl with black smoke. 150 copies on smoky clear. 350gsm sleeve kissed by metallic silver ink with an insert. Recorded at Goat Sound by Jason Fuller. Mastered at Noise Room (Shige). Art & inlay by Makoto Nigorikawa.

This is a joint release birthed from the dynamic and lovely relationship shared by the United Kingdom's Static Shock Records and the United States of America’s Iron Lung Recording Company.

The first 100 copies came with a bonus "Chick tract" style wee mag with art by Will Long. 100% of digital sales until July 4th were donated to WAR (Warriors of the Aboriginal Resistance), a collective of young Aboriginal people committed to the cause of decolonization and the philosophy of Aboriginal nationalism - resistance and revival. GELD staunchly supports all organisations working to dismantle colonial racism and decolonise Australia. Contact us if you'd like to know more.
