Fugue State Records (
http://fuguestate.posterous.com) is a fictional “Extreme Music” record label created by NYC Artist, Abe Lincoln Jr. I will be using the form factor of the iconic 7″ record to release singles from the fictional Hardcore and Heavy Metal bands on the Fugue State label roster. These are NOT real 7″ records with music on them,hey are Design Objects meant to be displayed with the rest of your Art collection.
I'll be laser etching various materials to create the records and the
sleeves will be digitally printed. Each release from Fugue State
Records will be limited to no more that 10-50 pcs per colorway. Once a
colorway is done it will not be released again. In support of these
releases I will also be doing other Artist Multiples such as band and
label “merch”. T-shirts, gig posters, stickers & zines, will be released as the project continues.
The goal with the project is to tell the story of Fugue State Records,
through the record releases, and creating a world that has continuity. There will be multiple releases from the bands on the Fugue State label roster. New bands being signed
and old bands moving on or breaking up. The project is meant to be ongoing. I plan on doing multiple art shows/record releases and putting out new Multiples regularly.”
The first release is from Fugue State Records is from Icelandic Black Metal band, Asspanther. The Eucharism 7-inch contains the “tracks” Eucharism and backed with Religion is Mind Control.
This edition is laser etched red acrylic plastic, with a digitally printed sleeve and limited to 20 pieces. It retails for $60 USD and is available at Wootini Gallery
http://www.wootinigallery.com for the Blood Brothers show with MCA and Evoker from March 4th - 31st.
