04.15.12 - Late to our own release date...

Although officially released on Friday, April 13th, 2012, we are pleased to present the 2 newest offerings from Auris Apothecary for purchase online. Two versions of local Bloomington heaviness, twisted and deformed into a fringe version of the artists' normal output, these two releases are excellent examples of what the local scene has been brewing for years.

One presents a lost take of saturated, droning noise from RCBNNN, the noise-based moniker to one of Bloomington's most established forces of crushing sounds. The other is an ultra-brief snapshot into the minds of local weirdo punkers HUMANS, put onto floppy disk and bitcrushed for absolutely appropriate fidelity.

The release show at MAGNETIC SOUTH on April 12th was a smashing success, bringing together both artists plus local drum&tapes duo CHARNEL HOUSE. Many thanks go out to the MAGNETIC SOUTH crew for their space and MIKE of RACEBANNON for setting the whole deal up. A video of RACEBANNON's noisy intro to their set has been edited and included below. It was a total departure from their normal sounds, so enjoy this rare & special look into the live manifestation of RCBNNN.

We have also updated the MARKETPLACE with preview tracks of a few of our upcoming albums, as well as full streams of the new releases with an option to purchase AAX-068 digitally. Our upcoming batch will be an entirely electronic affair, with the new evolution from doomtronic-pioneer PENDRA GON in The Fourest Album, as well as the debut 3-song EP from MORSUNDA and the reintroduction of HOU to the Auris Apothecary discography. All will be featured on the glory of analog cassette for extra warmth and aesthetic, with varying degrees of packaging complexity and creativity to match the concepts both sonically and visually.

Full streams and promotional videos have been included for the newest releases below. They can both be purchased physically in the PHARMACY, as well as our other most recent releases:
