Featuring Kim Gordon, Kathleen Hanna, The Raincoats, Brontez Purnell, Alice Bag, The Linda Lindas, Rachel Aggs, Mike Watt, Katie Alice Greer, Palberta, Kelley Deal, and many more! Originally conceived as a quarantine-era mutual aid project after Bikini Kill tour was canceled due to Covid in March 2020, Vice Cooler and I wrote songs together remotely via file sharing and then asked a bunch of our friends to help us finish the songs. Released digitally in 2022, Land Trust is now available as a limited edition, 16-song double-LP on splatter pink vinyl from Get Better Records!
All proceeds will still help NEFOC acquire and return land to Indigenous nations and to reconnect POC farmers to land.

Check out, WAR PIGS, the video for the first single from SYMPOIESIS, directed by Katherine Bauer and Spry. SYMPOESIS is 14-tracks of guitar improv and composition, inspired by Stevie Wonder’s The Secret Life of Plants, Donna Haraway’s Staying With The Trouble, and the efforts of protesters to Stop Cop City.

“Prepare to have your mind melted by these guitar-noise compositions featuring distortion-drenched riffs arranged in hypnotic patterns.” — Bandcamp New and Notable

ORDER ERICA DAWN LYLE’S GREATEST HITS (from Fall 2022) TAPE HERE
“If you thought Ryley Walker’s recent solo guitar escapades were gnarly and fucked up, then you need to jam Lyle’s freeform firestorm. Ripe with clawed riffs, shrieking fragmented melodies.., Greatest Hits is perhaps the most daring and explosive solo guitar release of 2022.” — Record Crates Unlimited

KYANITE
How are we going to take care of each other?!? The urgent question I'd already been asking my friends for years, when put to the test by pandemic and uprising, quickly led to other questions: How will we get capitalism out of our bodies?!? How has fascism eroded from within the very meaning of the words and concepts we hope to use to fight back against it? What are we left with after an attempt at revolution that comes up short? Informed by these questions and more, Kyanite is a fevered conversation taking place in both body and mind – sometimes epistolary, and sometimes while dancing. Equal parts meditation on the terrible demands of utopia, a document of queer communards attempting to develop psychic powers during quarantine, and a hopeful consideration of the power of transgender desire to remake the world, Kyanite includes my conversation with and writing by Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore, hannah baer, Hana van der Kolk, Valencia Gunder, Marcus Briggs-Cloud, Lupinewood Collective, Star Route Farm, Sara Jane Stoner, Rafa Esparza, MPA, Iemanja Brown, Imogen Xtian Smith, Hoe Army, Community Cash, Lara Lorenzo, and more...
