NPIP010 A Grave With No Name Mountain Debris CD + download issued 07/12/09 A milky pre-dawn landscape, a brittle yet fluid vision which slips through any interpretation – too beautiful, eccentric and strange – and instead can only really be defined only by it’s own haze. |
 |
NPIP009 Deep Sht Weird You EP x1: ‘Hector’ x2: ‘Other People’s Lives’ x3: ‘Loose Lips Sink Deep Sht’ xx1: ‘Weird You’ xx2: ‘No No Mr Greenspan’ 7″ issued 09/11/09 Crestfallen London flânuer Tom Watson, plus company, make minimal rock and slowgaze so blissed in itself all else is lost to the rapt depth of their own flux’d-out drone. |

NPIP008 Nite Jewel Good Evening CD album issued 31/08/09 Occupying the twilit space between Ariel Pink’s lo-fi avant pop and the codeine beats of John Maus, Nite Jewel – the performing moniker of California native Ramona Gonzalez – bears a certain kind of universal L.A. gloom, intimate and delicate, which echoes through her debut album, stretching it from bedroom nostalgia and re-grounding it in a glittering, soft-focus present. |

NPIP006 Various Artists No Pain In Pop CD compilation issued 06/04/09 Including artists whose material we’ve released (HEALTH, Telepathe, Banjo or Freakout, Gentle Friendly, Sunni-Geini, Trailer Trash Tracys) those whose shows we’ve put on (Ponytail, A Grave With No Name, PENS) and those we’ve featured on our site (Abe Vigoda, Nite Jewel), the compilation is an archive of the last twelve months in painful, post-generic pop music. |

NPIP005 Banjo or Freakout x: ‘Mr No’ xx: ‘Someone Great’ (LCD Soundsystem cover) 7″ issued 12/01/09 Bred on a diet of Ege Bamyasi, Person Pitch and World of Echo, Banjo Or Freakout is the alias of Turin native Alessio Natalizia. With a lonesome vocal calling out from a cavernous layer of plush sonics and tape loops, ‘Mr No’ reveals the exotic climbs Banjo treads. Backed by his clipped reinterpretation of ‘Someone Great’. |

NPIP004 Gentle Friendly - Night Tape EP x1: ‘Five Girl Night’ x2: ‘XXXmas’ xx1: ‘Sky Burial’ xx2: ‘Ride Symbols’ 7″ issued 24/11/08 In early 2008, Gentle Friendly retreated to a cottage in the English countryside for the ‘Night Tapes’ sessions. We feel this debut 7″ showcases what Daniel and David do perfectly - gallant melody severed amid the whirring propellers of stunt-plane drumming, Animal Collective, This Heat and Joe Meek among those recalled. |

NPIP003 x: HEALTH - ‘//M\\’ xx: Captain Ahab - ‘The Power of HEALTH’ 7″ issued August 2008 Culled from HEALTH’s debut LP, ‘//M\\’ finds the Los Angeles brutes roaming with trademark discordance. Jake Duzsik’s sunken chant sits deep amid the sort of minimal colossus you imagine might emerge from a collaboration between The Boredoms and Roedelius. LA party boys Captain Ahab turn it into a euro-pop gem on the reverse. |
 |
NPIP001 x: Telepathe - ‘Chrome’s On It’ xx: Sunni-Geini - ‘Main Theme’ split 7″ issued July 2008 We knew we had to release ‘Chrome’s On It’ from the first - gliding in on mercurial synths, it’s pop dare at its finest; future-distant girl gang vocals atop familiar, totemic bass groans. Sunni-Geini’s contribution is just as bound to the gilded precipice of the moment, alien voices serenading this dub-weighty meditation on rhythm’n'glitch. |
