STRAY Recordings : Our Artists

Our artists do not have to sign contracts, do not have record deals with us and own their music completely. They can release music on other labels, if they so wish. We are simply a portal - if we sell something, we pay them their cut.

Cascade of Darkness

Mo (Bloodbath Picnic Heroine, And Fate Was Foolish, Custodian) and Si Vaughan (Custodian, Kul) crafted the finest Metal on their bewitch-ed anvils, deep in the heart of The Black Country. Mixing their thrash roots with the sinister netherworld of death metal, they rattled along at eyelid-removing speeds. Sadly the flame would burn for only a short time, with two albums being the testimony to these consumate rattleheads. Mo now handles guitar and vocals in evil power trio And Fate Was Foolish.

Halon 1301

This band remind us of noise, tight leather and Buddy Holly. It was a visual thing as the sonics. They would take the music from shambling grooves to pin-point noise and back, with ease. Fantastic band.

Halon grew out of the ashes of Bloodbath Picnic Heroine and Collossus Institute; Wretched-Z moved to guitar, Mark C on drums, and once they ensnared bassfox Humy for the all-important bottom end, Halon was born.

MUTATE

Solo sound project of Ade Bordicott, MUTATE is whatever he wants it to be. Pretentious copy follows:

'MUTATE is improvised, experimental soundscapes, dark ambient, intense in nature, mixing live drones with off-kilter beats, shortwave radio and random foundsounds. Other times, MUTATE is completely something else. MUTATE has collaborated with numerous fringe artists, including Thee Moths, Kommissar Hjuler/Mama Baer, Milk (The Mekano Set), Hsin Yi Chang (Glass Diamond) and has releases on several labels, including his own ultra DIY label, Stray Recordings. MUTATE is the sound project of UK artist, Ade Bordicott. Always on the outside, looking in.'

Seņor Citizen

Seņor Citizen are the equivalent of Mad Cow Disease for the Casio keyboard. Completely improvised, the poor Casio keyboards are made to do things that should not be. Without the slightest hint of guilt, Seņor Citizen continue unabated. I don't see anyone trying to stop them, do you?
