album artwork for Crustacean!

The album art for Crustacean is finished! It was done by "Nabraxas", who's art is totally unique: strange mixtures of crustaceans/insects with portraits of various serial killers and criminals! The soon-to-be-released album Crustacean was actually inspired by this artwork! So obviously it is quite an honor to have him do the artwork for this particular release! The artwork also references the cover of John Zorn's The Dreamers, except has ugly creatures instead of the cute ones that graced that cover.

So here it is:

Eureka (2010)

This album is what I consider Incubi's "electronic album". There's some ambient, some breakcore, some noise, some weird sound art, field recordings, among other things, but it's mostly made up of electronic sounds that were made on a computer, and some samples. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it.... LISTEN TO IT WITH HEADPHONES. There's a lot of small details. Smoke a joint, put the headphones in, and listen to this laying in bed with the lights out. I don't recommend just playing it as you sit on the computer or as you do something else. Only one track is background music.

Neptune: this track takes field recordings of cicadas and crickets and layers it over a soothing ambient loop. This is meant to be relaxing, and uh, it also implies that there is life on Neptune.

Crystal Mines: this was actually taken from a previous album called Extra-capsular Manifestations. It is made up of: music from DK64, ambient stuff I made on the computer, me playing saxophone, and a dialogue sample from an audio collection about occult/paranormal phenomena.

Necromimesis: the loudest track here, and the most complex. Mostly electronics, but can you find the violin on here?

Eureka: A collage of electronic stuff. At the end is the track Shots.Shots..Shots... from my album Tecton Voltalade.

The Magus (2010)

This was the first Incubi release. It's more like a collection of 'demos' then a proper album, as it definitely has lower production standards, and is a bit incoherent. However, it does contain a lot of interesting material, spanning around 40 short tracks over the course of an hour, displaying many different ideas and themes. It includes avant-metal, math rock, dada, noise, folkish music, avant-classical, electronic music, collage, middle-eastern-inspired music, sound art, cartoon music, among many other styles. Instrumentally there is also a lot of variety, especially for a bedroom recording by someone who doesn't have much money to buy instruments. There's computer-made electronic sounds, samples, guitars, bass, violin, saxophone, tuba, trumpet, 8-bit sounds, vocals, ukulele, a broad range of percussive sounds, flutes, keyboards, and maybe some others I'm forgetting.
