about

Barstool Mountain returns to Absurd Exposition after the well-regarded "III" CD from 2022. On "Tightrope Walker", the project's debut LP, Mattias Gustafsson continues his "harried, frazzled, grizzled" experiments in tape mangling with his Altar of Flies alter-ego. The album furthers the buildings-crumbling barrage of "III", leaving just enough room to realize that the walls are coming down hard.

Standard edition: 315 copies on black vinyl, black and white screen printed covers, full colour labels.

Limited edition [only available through screamandwrithe.com ]: 15 copies on black vinyl, black and white screen printed covers, full colour labels, cassette tapes affixed to covers with jute twine.

Test pressing edition [sold out at Initial Shock]: 5 copies on black vinyl, black and white screen printed covers, full colour labels, cassette tapes affixed to covers with brass wire, numbered full-colour inserts.

An excellent collaboration yielding melancholic and unsettling looping noise with ethereal vocals, tinged with a bit of 80s horror synth. Highly recommend! cedarshims

The sound of being incinerated by a heatwave. Feels like a concentrated beam of sand hits you in the chest, splattering grains like shrapnel. Amazing record. Fuck you, Adam Lehrer. I bet your podcast blows. phoebe}}}}}}}}}}}}
