Pointy Bird Records

profile

Pointy Bird Records is a family-run micro-label, releasing our own home-made productions: Man In Formaldehyde (melodic, cinematic soundscapes), Super Distortion (regressive/progressive fuzz and organ instrumentals), Automatic Serene Gun (minimal electronic music), Art Giraffefungal (no-limits sound exploration).

It's a joyously hap-hazard collection, roughly held together by a common thread of experimental-ness and regressive/progressive tendencies. Everything is recorded using a computer, a bunch guitars, an organ, a synthesizer, piles of effects boxes and home-made instruments.

New from Man In Formaldehyde
'Ultraviolet Overdrive' is the follow-up to Man In Formaldehyde's 'Copper Sulphate Crystals'. A lot has changed. The melodic core is still there but the production trickery has been dropped in favor of stripped down, pure composition. [read]
