I meant to upload this about a week ago but I got busy with Christmas and all that. This is our 4th album, with the same lineup as the first self-titled. Way better produced than that first album, more harshness and lots of high pitched synth squall and feedback to accompany bass crunch. Have a good 2011!

Untitled Bizcard

I mentioned quite a while back that Stone Lion would be releasing a Bono bizcard, well it's available to buy now from here! I think I can safely say that this is the best piece Bono has ever done, crunchy wall noise with shrieking and glitchy tones that oppose the wall. One 5 minute track. Get it now to support Stone Lion!! Only 10 copies! I also grabbed the Dotabata release, I'm guessing that's gonna be badass too.

Look how cool the Dotabata bizcard art is:

Also, Bono II is now out on Oligoscene! 3 untitled songs / 36 minutes. Not dissimilar from the first self-titled, but a bit better produced and harsher. Email oligoscene@gmail.com for trades. I will post the mp3 version very soon.

Released in 2010

CDr, 8 copies

1. Monolith #1 (68:25)

DOWNLOAD

Bono's 3rd album, very different to our other material, very dense, almost HNW in places but with high pitched grinding and squeals that cut through the slow-burning rumble. Some vocals appear about halfway through at the climax of the piece. We spent way too long on this thing, hope people enjoy it. Recommended if you like The Rita, Vomir, Sick Llama, etc

Holy shit!

Really dropped the ball in terms of releases hey? Was super busy with school for a while there. Anyway, couple Bono CDrs out this week, after that I'm working on more Tar Pits and possibly some noisegrind Bono material.

Also I've been completely addicted to footwork lately, so hopefully I'll be making some of that myself.

Bono II / Monolith #1 finished

Finally finished mixing / editing Bono II and Monolith #1.

Bono II is 3 tracks, 36 minutes with 3 personnel. Really sick bass at points. Very pleased with this one, probably the best shit we've done along with the Stone Lion Bizcard. 20 CDr copies? Will be available in the next month.

Monolith #1 is one track, 68+ minutes of very slowly moving harsh noise wall. Occasional high feedback screeches cut through, but for the most part just one long rumbling flow. 10 CDr copies of this, expect it next week.

mp3s will be posted later, trades welcome.

Big update, upcoming releases

I've got a few releases coming up, thought I'd quickly mention them here;

As mentioned before, Bono has a bizcard coming out on Stone Lion, I'm not sure when that'll be released but I imagine itll be before this other stuff

We also recorded a second self-titled album with the same personel (Matt / Kyle / Dan) as the first, 3 untitled tracks, 36 minutes. Will be released on CDr by Oligoscene in a month or two. The lineup is the same as the first Bono album but the sound is more akin to the Stone Lion bizcard material.

Also working on that single giant track that spans more than 60 mins, will also be released on CDr by Oligoscene, probably a month or two after Bono II.

Tar Pits has a c40 split with Dotåbåtå coming out on Hoarse, one track, kinda sounds like dark ambient for the first half and then morphs into some Basinski-like shit.

Starting work on a second Tar Pits album, only one track/5mins done so far though so that wont be done until the end of the year or later.

Finally, check out what the Tar Pits/Dotabata split will apparently look like:

Badass!

Tar Pits is my dark ambient/drone project inspired by Lull, Thomas Köner, Troum, The Caretaker, etc. I was very proud of this particular song when I first finished it, but now that I've had time to distance myself from its creation I can hear a lot of flaws that I'll hopefully improve in future. Overall I'm still pretty happy with it, especially the very beginning. Cantankerous Records were nice enough to release it and I'm pretty sure its an unlimited edition so you can still buy it from them if you want a physical copy for whatever reason. They also release plenty of other cool shit.

Recording again...

Bono has been pretty slack over the last 6 months but we finally recorded some new stuff last Monday and what resulted is easily the harshest, wildest and all-around best thing we've done yet. It's probably going to get released on Stone Lion as part of a bizcard series. Really psyched for it and the other stuff we've got planned for this year.

Next thing we're planning to record is a gigantic 65+ min track, hope that turns out just as well.

This is our second album, much thicker than our first. Stitched together from a number of separate jams in December 2009 into one continuous whole. Bono is Kyle & Dan on this one.

I actually have a couple copies of this left. If anyone wants to trade, send an email to oligoscene@gmail.com

I got really sick of the layout of myspace and mediafire links seem to be censored as spam. So I'm switching to this for the most part.

Here, have an album:

This is the first album Bono made, recorded in June or July of 2009. We were a three piece (Matt, Kyle, Dan) with a real primitive setup at the time. All the physical copies have long since been traded.
