  In or around October 2021, DEAD approached a number of more creatively minded labels to do a small run of copies of a recently recorded improve piece. The idea was to let the labels involved run free with the presentation of their CD, tape or lathe cut record.
  
  Because we hate ourselves here at Wild Animals Records Towers (in a secret location in Reservoir, Melbourne, Victoria), we decided to go all out and build a large wooden box with a ceramic tile framed on the front. It's taken us an age to make these...but here they are, true to our regular form, a-year-and-a-half late!
  
  We stuck with the original image DEAD sent us for the pro-printed tape sleeves (which are dated 'winter 2021' - we were very optimistic). The outer box is made with found materials and a bits I pinched from Bunnings. The mechanism to get the tape out of the box has a bell on the end so you can play along with DEAD on this 28min improvised piece of tunage. They are numbered and include a download code. Three of the tapes have a white shell, the rest have an orange shell.
  
  The tiles were made by my friend Rachel (rSuths on Instagram...go follow).
  You can here the music on DEAD's Bandcamp page: deadsounds.bandcamp.com/album/we-grit-our-teeth
  Solar Tongue from NZ jumped on the back of this tape with their track We Bite Your Lip.
  
  There are only 15 copies of this and they are priced inline with the materials used and the work involved ...and the fact each one is a fucking work of art mate!
  
  As always, shipping is a nightmare, and even more so for these musical monoliths. But I'll pack them light while keeping them safe and refund any excess shipping costs. Maybe add a few more items to your basket to make it all worth while, yeah :)
  
  Any questions, please ask.
