NO SOUND started as a tape label in 2009. In between being homeless and crazy, we got a few tapes out. Returning to the big screen in 2010.

NS1001 Solidstateradio \ Solidstateradio (Tape)





Solidstateradio is Ashley, from Portland, OR. I found her work on MySpace, and couldn't wait to get a full-length release out.

Ashley's sound is collected from radio sources, sometimes sounding like a distant children's program, and other tracks, such as "The Devil's Basement," take the SSR sound to a much harsher place. A great balance between being listenable and challening.

This tape came to me in late 2008, and we made it the first NO SOUND release of 2009. The first batch had hand-painted teal shells, and color-laser printed inserts. They were numbered with a self-advancing stamp, and there were 50.

The art was made when we first moved to the NO SOUND/Haunted Sound System house, in April, using analog processes up until the final photos were taken with a digital camera. The tape was released shortly thereafter, but with limited distribution until later in the year.


There will be a NO SOUND reissue of this album on CD-R in the near future.

Free download coming soon in high-quality mp3.
