Well, the Cornslaw Industries 2009 Relaunch is here and, aside from a huge redesign and a general cleaning up of the site, we are proud to introduce several new albums and artists. Over the course of the next couple weeks, please check back often to download new albums from both old favorites and new artists. We are going to try to add a new release every day or three. We have upwards of a dozen new albums, including new releases from 1000000 a.d., The Grossly Misjudged Collective Works of Barry’s Listening, a new pseudo off-shoot of The Grossly Misjudged Collective Works of Barry’s Listening, Mill Run Band, and others as well as new artists MindLucent, Christopher Munden, Skelebundles, and several others. We also have at least one new compilation, Weird Al Ruined My Life, and other things so new and excited we don’t quite know about ‘em yet.

New releases:

CS0907 – Pilot Meets Stars – Mill Run Band
Pilot Meets Stars is Mill Run Band’s second release, originally released in 1997 on Rockadelic Records. It is a brilliant example of early bedroom four tracking psychedelic pop and the second collection by Mill Run Band to be added to Cornslaw. It is also Cornslaw Industries’ 51st release!  

CS0906 – Dr. Peace – Jaffé
Dr. Peace cannot talk with you right now, he is in a business meeting. To have known Jaffé in the 1990s was to know his collection of self-created phrases mixed seamlessly with a bizarre array of film references. “Dr. Peace” is, along with The Turtleneck Anomoly, a materialization of several of these phrases.

CS0905 – The Turtleneck Anomoly – Jaffé
The second of two instances in which Jaffé’s misspelling was embraced and given new meaning (The Dewback Anomoly being the other). The Turtleneck Anomoly is a collection of film dialog, minimalist re-scoring music, and several of Dewback and Jaffé’s original compositions re-imagined as greater whole. Songs include Dewback’s “The Final One” and Jaffé’s “Dr. Peace.”

CS0904 – Skelebundles – Skelebundles
For our fourth release of this relaunch, we turn our attentions to a short experimental piece from two members of the Cornslaw Industries family moonlighting as Skelebundles. Skelebundles is the name of the song, the album, and the artist(s). 

CS0903 – Prog – The Grossly Misjudged Collective Works of Barry’s Listening
Barry may be “no more,” but before he left us, he left us with this final collection of unfinished material. It was hoped that others would help us finish the songs, but that never happened. Lyrics (and even vocal recordings of those lyrics) exist, but this is the album as Barry left it before his bizarre, tragic, and heroic death in the Summer of 2008.

CS0902 – Scuffed Tims – Mind Lucent
Mind Lucent is the first hip hop artist to join the Cornslaw Industries family and we couldn’t be happier to welcome him. Scuffed Tims is a highly developed and sophisticated collection of songs and Mind Lucent is an extremely talented MC and producer. We need to step up our game… Lucent has raised the bar. 

CS0901 – On My Lap – Vertinsky Dogs
The Vertinsky Dogs are our first Russian artists and our first truly international artists (Tyler Kinney is not actually Canadian and our British artists have yet to produce their promised albums). We don’t understand most of the lyrics on On My Lap, but the music and melodies are great. A raw and honest album, On My Lap is really an interesting listen and we hope to one day get to meet these guys in person.
