press for Green Bushes

"A rolling ballad that brings together soul, jazz, blues and melancholy troubadouring, in a rich blend rarely achieved so honestly and with such refrained grace. Reminiscent of the difficult, crossed-genre work of Jim O'Rourke or Current 93, Green Bushes is truly remarkable and one of the best records of the year. 9/10" - Foxy Digitalis

"Kill and Eat make a degraded kind of cocktail music, heard from far away (in space and in time). The vocals seem lost, a fuse seems blown, even the horn sounds like it's pulled a muscle . . . . If some of the New Weird Americans got less frothy, spilled less beans, got themselves de-frazzled and came in out of the woods and into a large ballroom and started playing then it might be like Kill and Eat's Green Bushes." - An Idiot's Guide to Dreaming

info

We're a small-press label based in the equally small community of Warsaw, Indiana, USA. We focus on releasing professionally manufactured CDs in extremely minimal packaging sans album-art.

Before the 1940s, most records were released in blank paper sleeves. When Columbia Records created the first album cover in 1939, record sales boomed and a long-term trend was born. Somewhere between graphic design, The Beatles, and small-press handmade packaging, however, the trend outgrew and transcended its decorative and promotional motives. Instead of the decorative "album cover" designed to boost sales of popular music, we now have "album art" and its integration into the "album experience."

As a label, we have no desire to be a part of this experience. We want our music to be judged on its own merit and its inherent value as music, not by whether it comes with visual art or enticing packaging. We don't need that. There's still an incentive to buy our physical product, but that incentive lies within the music.
