After 2 1/2 years of existence, we’re pleased to announce a gift to you, our loyal cult members. On 24 February 2009 (next THIS Tuesday), we’ll be releasing Trademark XV, a compilation featuring every artist in the family (and a few friends).
With a track off of nearly every release we have done, including some that have yet to be released, Trademark XV is both an introduction to new fans and a reminder to those who’ve been with us since September 2006. We will release this digitally on Tuesday for a period of two weeks absolutely free*. We took our time compiling this, even convincing our great friends Lesbian and Moab to chime in with a few epic tracks. And we’ve included a couple of tracks that while available through us may have slipped through your fingers due to their super-limited nature (Science Friction, Samurai Dreams).
As always, we bow down to you, our fanatic cult members, because in the end, we’re in this together.
(*Free is an interesting word these days. To access the CULT section of our site and get the free album, you need the current password. And the current password can only be given to you if you sign up for our mailing list on this site. Don’t worry - we ain’t Nigerian scammers or spambots. Sign up, and you shall receive…)

Also, thank you everyone who downloaded “Lantern Black Lodge . Shine On You”. Those were all b-sides to the current album I am working on right now. “Shine On You” will be released on the LP completely rerecorded. That album was only available a month, and it will never be released again unless I die and someone really wants to make a ton of loot off my postmortem career. Here is what we have in store now from TRADEMARK.

Trademark Recordings is a few people releasing archival and current shit that you should know about. Trademark is Tom Mahoney. Trademark is Camerin Kelly. Trademark is everything. Within the next few months we will be releasing some of the best albums you will ever hear from gutter ass basement Daniel Johnston insanity to the heaviest of riff hard bands that could nuke Jesu in a second.
Things are changing fast. Things will never be the same, and you will definitely be the first to know about. Everything will be cataloged, and we will all be a part of history.
Wishlist:
LA FIN DU MONDE
MOAB
SUBTILE
LABWASTE
BLEEGO
LESBIAN
This is what we really want. A X-Mas special, James not seizing, and LA FIN amd LESBIAN split album for the masses.
la fin du monde’s new full length “life as it should be” is out and it’s incredible. you see, la fin and myself share native hometowns, paradise and chico california. is this the secret ingredient to their phenomenal debut lp? I can’t answer that, but something tells me it’s all a part of the grand architecture laid out millions of years ago to get humanity to right where it is, right this second, knee deep in a song called “nascar santa claus”
for those who like: red sparrowes, king crimson, and mono, check it out.
