dried foxglove – psychiatric surgery

A pro-CDr release of dried foxglove – psychiatric surgery, the album that is a result of a collaboration between Dry Eyes and French noise artist diigitae, has been released! The album is inspired by the various unethical, horrendous, and ineffective treatments used to treat the mentally ill throughout the ages. Dry Eyes and diigitae really wear their schizophrenia on their sleeves on this one, creating a carefully sequenced work of mental chaos!

Dry Eyes totally kills it again with a new kraut-rock influenced EP

Invoking the Stars–the new EP by Dry Eyes is available on Bandcamp in a sneak-preview-release before its larger release on streaming services such as Spotify, Apple Music, Google Play, etc. Not content to remain in one place, Dry Eyes in this release resumes his kraut-rock influenced-side to create ritualistic music that invokes the feeling of the stars. A must hear!

Latest Updates

SIC-0030, the CD of Laisistaz containing Emergence and the Under a Crushed Impulse EP. It has these two works, is over an hour long, has neat forest photography by Dry Eyes, and it’s an absolute essential for any serious collection. Unlike some other releases produced by Siccum Records, this is not DIY. It is professionally produced and manufactured.

SIC-0031 is a run of 5 mini-CDrs for a project called Get Over Yourself, a cosmic ambient space anthology created by time stretching a bunch of noise in a restaurant for 20 minutes.

SIC-0032 is a private cassette tape containing a Dry Eyes album called Ox. A very exclusive run comprised of 5 tapes, its not digitally available, and will remain such (unless someone wants to record the tape and put it on Soulseek or something, which is their prerogative and we won’t stop them). We might send it you if you can email to explain how you became a fan of Dry Eyes.

SIC-0033 is a tape of Noise Improvisation 0027- Storm Kitchen by Dry Eyes. This release is notable in that its actually available for sale, and you can get it on the Bandcamp page.

SIC-0034 is a tape for a really different kind of Dry Eyes album, in that its musical and has more in common with Tangerine Dream than noise music. This release highlights Dry Eyes’ unmatched compositional and production skill.

Laisistaz

Laisistaz is an ambient project by Dry Eyes which is inspired by primitive notions of nature. Lots of hypnotic melodies entertwining, creating an Earthly atmosphere which fills the soul with a yearning of some sort…

No physical releases thus far, but an EP and a full-length have been released. The full length, titled Emergence is available in 24-bit audio.

SIC-0028: Dry Eyes – Curtains Veil the Night on DIY CDR

Curtains Veil the Night was a cathartic experience for me. There’s a lot of bad in it, and a lot of the bad is from digging deep into my soul. While we try to be nice to each other, the fact remains that under our souls lies a beast, and that this beast can be a menace to us all if its entanglements in our minds are not brought into the daylight once in a while and understood.

So, Curtains Veil the Night is 33 minutes long and follows Depths Forest in that its being released on do-it-yourself CD-R. This means its in a cardboard sleeve, with the cover art stuck on the front, and a tracklist on the back. It comes in resealable plastic wrap. The point of this change is to make releases which cost very little and can be shipped anywhere in the world inexpensively. From Siccum’s Bandcamp page, you can buy the CDR for $1 USD, and shipping is $1.19 to the USA, $2.50 to Canada, and $3.23 to anywhere else in the world.
