KOWLOON WALLED CITY
"Gambling on the Richter Scale" LP+CD (PMM027)
On "Gambling on the Richter Scale," their first full-length (and first outing with The Perpetual Motion Machine), Kowloon Walled City add a touch of finesse to the grinding pummel introduced on last year’s Turk Street EP, which drew comparisons to Neurosis, The Melvins and other low-end explorers, from the ‘90s AmRep roster to the current crop of sludgecore contenders. The album is available on vinyl 12" LP with CD included. It comes packaged in gloss varnish full color jackets, and is limited to 500 copies, with 200 on black/silver haze and 300 on clear, with cds enclosed in sleeves silk-screened by the band. Check out a free download of the album below.

LITANY FOR THE WHALE "Dolores" 12" (PMM025)

Their 23+ minute, 7-song EP was recorded at Prairie Sun Studios in Cotati, CA by Eric Leavell, with mastering handled by Carl Saff at Saff Mastering in Chicago, IL. Comes packaged in black and white jackets with artwork by Chris Taylor (Pg.99); all copies on colored vinyl.
