The guys from Marketing suggested Senseless Empire "create a presence" with some "branding". Didn't know what they were talking about but this killer design from Wolfy of Kayrock Screenprinting and Red Dawn II fame deserves to be on a torso or two. Maybe yours? Buddy Holly says, "Senseless Empire". Trust the king.
Printed on pre-shrunk, 100% cotton, grey t-shirts. Sizes: YOUTH LARGE, SMALL, MEDIUM, LARGE, X-LARGE. Rita over in IT still hasn't gotten back to us with the code for specifying your size selection. We'll work that out through email after your purchase. Thanks for your understanding. We're having a meeting with Rita soon.
Under the name, Bessemerr, Italian experimental psycher Paolo Berti, has created an amazing album and Senseless Empire is happy to release the "Fake LP" version. Listening to Monoscopium recalls impressions of space, time, yearning and discovery. Fans of Klaus Schulze will be stoked on this one. The music easily wraps around the listener and attachs itself to a level just below conciousness. The sounds become stars and the album the transport device into the heavens. Not too long after that one realizes that it's too late to order a pizza and the only way to go is forward into the abyss. This one jams HARD!

This release is a dark electronic masterwork from Barcelona, Spain's Trigal. Recorded in Spain and Morocco. Coincides with March 2009 US tour and follows on the heels of Trigal's epicly wasted Freedom of the Psychedelic Experimental Stoned Sound. Totally stoked on this one. Turn out the lights.

Do you like the Ramones? They were from Queens, NY. What's my point? So is Birdlaw. Squaaak! See the thing of it is, this is some fine fine music! One time Alex and I pressed play simultaneously on our walkmans and listened to Shellac's Terraform cassette while walking through the woods. It took almost 11 years but I'm almost positive Cussin Out Loud is the direct result of this night. But sounds nothing like Shellac, more like the sound of that whole night.

From the basement's Canopic Lidz crew, this a concept album like the old days. Some seriously damaged soundz here. Side one has the street anthems while side two has the complimentary introspective numbers. The peak and the come-down so to speak.
What is the code? Is the answer within? Above? Below? Those in the know know.
Limited to 100 copies. 40 minutes of music!

Senseless Empire's first foray into the vinyl realm. This record is completely amazing. Detroit band that doesn't exist anymore due to geographical dispersion of its members. Thankfully this music still exists.
No obvious musical reference points but maybe Astral Weeks from a female perspective. This record is amazing and needed the permanence of vinyl.
Limited to 500 copies. Black vinyl inside beautiful screen-printed covers.
Bi-GK reinvent themselves as Big-K for this 74 minute release, Strawberry Island, a tribute to Shuggie Otis. This one is perfect for falling asleep to, cleaning dishes or trying to get with someone.
Matthew Thurber from Soiled Mattress & The Springs and many sweet comics drew the fantastic cover art (inside and out). Matthew also drew the lovely art from the first Bi-GK cassette.
Released jointly with Colin's Mass(ive) Dist(ribution) label.

Continuing Weirding Module's exploration of stellar frontiers, this cassette offers the newest sounds from the furthest reaches. The federation is gearing up for something big, no doubt, and if these early recon briefings are any indication, summer should be monumental.
Is there summer in space? Weirding Module asks the hard questions.

This is the long-awaited split cassette co-released by Barcelona, Spain's Ozonokids and Senseless Empire. Ozonokids mastermind, Arnau Sala, lays down heady and unsettling tone-scapes/scrapes creating a sonic virtual reality where time-traveling aliens dig their mental fingernails into the base of your spine and shake up any lysergic debris. Weirding Module's side continues in the tradition of muddy synths, repetition and Jah.
Beautiful silk-screened covers. Comes with insert. Our favorite cassette so far!

Rescued from the furthest edges of deepest space, this 20.5 minute cassette documents some weird travels. Usually WM reaches inside for inspiration but this epic jam in two parts is a gift from the cosmos. If played on repeat, will sync up perfectly with both Tarkovsky's Stalker AND Solaris. All the way through, everytime!
Totally galactic artwork!

Live set to nobody in an empty house from the Spring of 2007. This one is both calming and wild. How is this possible? The answer lies within for anyone with ears to listen. You can definitely cook dinner to this one but maybe not eat the results.

Second Senseless Empire cassette for the Weirds. Winter meditation music made during alone time at the 880R commune. Field tested in a hazy room. This one boosts alpha waves and tickles the limbic region. Drones and loose feelings.
