November 2020 News (Recent Compilations & Future Activity)
•November 7, 2020 • Leave a CommentHello all. As always, apologies for a lack of timely updates. We hope that next year will be considerably less tumultuous than this one. That being said, here is what we have been able to release since July:
“…and it’s so late…” compilation description: Dark music for dark times. Experimental, electronica, ambient soundscapes, industrial, techno and more awaits the wearied listener. Let these songs be a balm upon your soul in this dark era.
“Pro Choice Noise (For All To Have A Voice” compilation description: Argali Records Netlabel proudly presents “Pro Choice Noise: For All To Have A Voice”. an all-inclusive compilation to support reproductive rights, with all proceeds to be donated to Planned Parenthood. This massive six hour collection, curated by the members of Tomokie’s Cup, features many current luminaries of experimental music. The tracks within contain (but are not limited to) elements of rock, punk, noise, free improvisation, dance, spoken word, avant-garde, drone, free jazz, industrial, and other less definable permutations of sound, with no restrictions regarding genre or track length.
This concludes our compilations for 2020. We plan to announce the first compilation for 2021 in early January.
Hope you are all well, and as always thank you for your continued support and encouragement.

The Glove Of Bones: 9
•December 7, 2019 • Leave a Comment
Listen/Download: https://argalirecordsnetlabel.bandcamp.com/album/9
’9’ is the second release where the Glove of Bones ransacks the Lithium Tool Box for inspiration. This isn’t an RMX project, it’s a far more complex & abstracted beast. The LTB content has been sampled, looped, smashed through any number of digital blenders to form back bones and skins on/in fleshy bodies of sound.
The ‘9’ of the title are the daughters of Mnemosyne & Zeus. An erotic (potentially, based on novelistic freedom) issue of their non-consensual interaction, it produced the Nine Muses. Their designations have informed many creative types, artists & poets for as long as they have been spoken of, with their names filtering through to our contemporary understanding of ’the muse’.
The GoB, whilst pilfering sonic content from the Lithium archive has played with broken bells, busted tape machines & radios, essentially fucked guitars, warped temple gongs, dub infected and degraded beatz, and the endless static of gig corrupted hearing. Never entirely finished, they are ripe to move on from.
Many thanks to Nathan for producing the Lithium content and being the big wheel at Argali.
