OUR LATEST RELEASE :::
The fourth disc in our 2003 limited edition series was released on April
11th...
PIE016 : selfservice : _hot pixel_
selfservice is Rebecca McClellan and Jakob Thiesen from Toronto, Ontario.
Starting out as a lark for some live shows, they began to make electronic
music with a decidedly psychedelic bent. Their simplistic melodic sense
coupled with their complex sound design provide a listening experience that
is lush and inviting. For their Piehead release they have incorporated live
drums as well as their friend David Fortino's liquid guitar playing.
Like all of the releases in our 2003 series, _hot pixel_ is an EP-length
disc pressed on CD3", packaged with a unique Japanese paper insert and
limited to 211 copies. It is available as part of a subscription to the
full series, or as an individual item.

PREVIOUS RELEASES :::
The previous three discs in our 2003 series have been getting some nice
reviews:
PIE015 : Phasmid : _Thrift Shop_
"Quirky uptempo electronic music, that is both raw and fresh, maybe in a
bit of old-school fashion... Alltogether it's very pleasant music to forget
one's worries and simply enjoy life."
[Frans de Waard - Vital Weekly]

PIE014 : Books On Tape : _Winning Record_
"...raw, unfinished elements of a punk sensibility have somehow found their
way into [Books on Tape's] music, although its harder edge and
aggressiveness are slightly curbed and reshaped with some quirky sidesteps..."
[Richard di Santo - Incursion Music Review]

PIE013 : Temper : _Navy Blue_
"...the disc plays like a bag of sweets, adding a little sugary charm to
your palette on a lazy afternoon."
[Richard di Santo - Incursion Music Review]
