King Ghidorah BPR-032
III
King Ghidorah III is as much technodragon as doom-drone on this disc -- the three headed monster of Moog, Drum Buddy, and Mixing Board Loopback leaves the guitars behind and assaults you with 50+ minutes of electronic doom.

Chef Menteur BPR-028
The Answer’s In Forgetting

Murmur BPR-027
Fermata (the Dixie Brewery Fermentation Tank Session)
Acoustic drone recorded live to 2-track inside a metal fermentation tank at the (now ruined) Dixie Brewery in the year of the hurricane.... Murmur's finest release yet. No reverb or other effects were added during performance or after recording. Just two 20+ minute mininimalist unearthly metallic resonant drones. Truly one of the most unique drone releases ever.

Proud To Swim Home: A Backporch Revolution Compilation for New Orleans
Backporch Revolution's first compilation, and a benefit CD for Musicares and other groups providing relief to victims of Hurricane Katrina.

Available November 14th worldwide in finer record stores, "Proud To Swim Home" is a call-to-arms, meditation, and elegy wrapped in one; expressions from New Orleans' sound alchemists, some well-known and some unheard before.

This is not your typical compilation, it stands alone as a soundtrack to the Crescent City's struggle to recover from the worst natural disaster to hit the United States, while showcasing its vibrant experimental underground.

Chef Menteur BPR-010
We Await Silent Tristero's Empire
The debut full-length album (after a series of EP's) from Chef Menteur is an instrumental epic released shortly before Hurricane Katrina that finds the band at its darkest and most psychedelic: an epic and heady journey into deep watery spaces that includes filmic soundscapes, organ grooves, eastern-tinged melodies, heavy guitars, ambient pastorals, and more than a few dark moments. The culmination of two years of homemade sonic experimentation on lo-fi recorders by Chef Menteur in their (now lost) tiny New Orleans studio.

potpie BPR-017
Waterline
His most critically acclaimed release to date (and quickest to sell out), Waterline is the latest self-produced recording by New Orleans minimalist potpie. Recorded post-Katrina, Waterline showcases potpie’s trademark ultra-minimal drones followed by cathartic free jams with potpie raging on a dozen instruments including bullhorn, psychedelic guitar freakouts, sine wave generators and much more.

Time Promises Power BPR-016
Tomorrow Grieves Today
Produced in New Orleans soon after the horrific wake of Hurricane Katrina, this 13 track release abandons the concept that an electronic album or band needs to be strapped to a specific genre. From the dub-influenced "NINEZERODAWG", to the Kraut Rock inspired "Tonight the Stars Revolt!", TPP brings us songs that reference a familiar universe while laying their own unique and mysterious foundation of synth-injured hooks, solidly fumbled beats, and atmospheric hypnosis.
