Nailbat Tapes

This probably isn’t going to come as much of a surprise since this account has been silent for more than a year, but Nailbat Tapes is dead. Thanks to everyone who supported the label over the years and thanks to all the artists I got a chance to collaborate over the years. Stay tuned for big clearance sales coming soon as I try to offload inventory.

T. Platt - Before the Theatre Arrives

The noise of T. Platt is usually an all-out assault, but on Before the Theatre Arrives, he delivers a deftly nuanced and subtle sonic onslaught. It’s an approach that’s more restrained, but the threat of total bombardment is always present.

🚨OUT NOW🚨

Leather Parisi - Cannibal Drones

Leather Parisi returns to Nailbat Tapes with four tracks that represent a colossal leap forward for the Italian aural alchemist. The electronics here range from tense, abstract layers to pulsing, beat-based exercises in suspense. Cannibal Drones is an all-consuming slide into the void.

Note from the artist:

"Cannibal Drones was written and recorded during the pandemic lockdown. It represents the sound of human progress failure. The only way for men to survive is to prevail over men."

At this point, the label has gone through a few iterations. Once upon a time, the label trafficked almost exclusively in noise and experimental tapes. That’s less a focal point nowadays, but it’ll always be in the DNA of the label.

To that end, I’ve decided to handle these releases a bit differently from the rest of the catalog. This week we will be releasing the first batch of our Synapse Series, which will focus exclusively in this side of the label.
