Made completely on 9/3/11 during Hurricane Irene in Brooklyn, NY, _ Quarterly Issue 7: Peace* is comprised of work culled almost exclusively from the internet. From Twitter hashtags to NY1 broadcasts of Mayor Bloomberg to stream-of-consciousness Google searches, Peace* conveys the experience of being locked in a studio with the computer screen as your only means of ‘seeing’.
Peace* is the smallest edition _ Quarterly has ever done, with only 20 unique pieces in existence. Each is a partially bound French fold book enclosed inside of a grocery bag and features a unique laser-jet print of the bag stapled inside. Peace* is printed with a Risograph in two colors on fluorescent orange and white paper.
_ Quarterly Issue 7: Peace* will only be available at the NY Art Book Fair and the issue release at Printed Matter on October 20th, 2011.

Milano Chow – Brick & Mortar
[PRE-ORDER] RELEASES 9 / 19 / 11
Brick & Mortar is an 11x17”, 24 page, Riso pubilcation of new drawings by Milano Chow. Black lines on Gray paper with drawings influenced by Nancy comics, the Bauhaus school, and strange situations.
The drawings evoke a sense of isolated domesticity, minimal yet non-reductive examinations of an emotional space not typically handled in such a manner.- - -

Craig Mammano – The Cats claw vines
“The Cats claw vines swallowed telephone lines and held houses together.
Over grown lots were being used to smoke rock, stash stuff and turn tricks. I was on a ladder on the side of the house in the middle of the day our first summer in New Orleans. I see a woman totally naked talk to herself, walk through the empty lot across the street and disappear.”
Thus the beginning of Craig Mammano’s publication begins. A somber intro to the stories and content within.
With work exhibited and published internationally, Mammano’s photography questions and challenges the viewers expectations of ones own mortality and self-worth.- - -

Guardian Alien - S/T 12” LP
Releasing September 23rd, 2011 at Shea Stadium in Brooklyn, NY
Featuring Greg Fox (Liturgy, GDFX, Alex Drewchin Jr, Turner Williams Jr and a continuously rotating cast of guest performers… Guardian Alien follow the road to enlightenment previously trod by the likes of Hawkwind, Boredoms, and Sun City Girls. Their self titled debut LP, released by Swill Children, features a live set recorded at Brooklyn’s Shea Stadium, and collaged soundscapes culled from live and studio recordings. Guardian Alien has the following to say on the subject:
DOWNLOAD A SELECTION FROM GUARDIAN ALIEN’S S/T LP
greetings.
we are an invisible band of psychonauts hailing from the
Morgenheutegesternwelt (via entry points in “brooklyn” and “queens”,
“new york”). we hereby present our first physically manifested
transmission in this realm. we summon the lift from our infinite
limbs, nourished on the discipline of the pho lyfe anarcho-tao tantra,
to buckle in and light up free and clear for TAKE OFF (using the
merqabic tetrahedral qi transport / your clothing). the LP consists of
studio and live recordings, braided into chaotic, orgonomic chemtrail
whirlwinds, flourishing with the final dervishes in the last layers of
the terrestrial veil, autopilot-trance wailing hymns to chance and
confusion, bursting through the veil of the maya-rendered 4D soundscape
through the back door of chapel Perilous and into the outer
realms, where the 11th chakra spins in finite infinity, finitely, in
infinity, forever.EEVVEERRYYBBOODDYY MMUUSSTT GGEETT OOFFFF.
LOVE, ALEX JR, GREG, AND TURNER JR

The tracks are all culled from live recordings at Shea Stadium mixed with studio recordings, and this one sounds much like the opening salvos of many of their live shows, mulling with anticipation and on the brink of explosion. I guess that’s for track two. - Impose Magazine
-
Some folks believe in guardian angels, benevolent beings that watch over us and protect us from harm. But what if there are other beings out there, also watching over us and waiting to make contact? Anybody who’s flipped through, say, The Field Guide to Extraterrestrials, or has seen Close Encounters of the Third Kind, has most likely wondered: What if there are guardian aliens out there? - Joe McGasko Free Music Archive

Hi!
I’m so excited to be posting this, we’ve got so many new things to share with you and are really looking forward to hearing your feedback.
-Jesse Hlebo
We have a batch of new and upcoming releases, as well as past events to share with everyone!
You may have noticed already but if not, we have a new website, designed by Jesse Hlebo and Erik Carter. Aside from looking far better than the last one, it provides an easier platform to view all of the projects.
During the weekend of November 5-7th, Swill Children had a table at Printed Matter’s NY Art Book Fair, held at MoMA PS1. We’re so honored that our wall installation was included in The NY Art Book Fair Report exhibition that is currently on view at PS1. Only twenty exhibitors were chosen out of the over 200 who participated in the fair so it’s a bit mind blowing!
The exhibition is up until the 29th of November so definitely try and make it if you’re in town.

Swill Children also presented a performance at PS1 during the NY Art Book Fair entitled Certain Distinctions.
The piece was composed based on the structure of a gradient and featured five musicians and five dancers. The ‘orchestra’ included Lucky Dragons, Robert AA Lowe (Lichens), Greg Fox, Driphouse, and Islands Eyelids. Dance coordination by Angela Vitacolonna with Blakeney Bullock, Tenaya Kelleher, Rachel McKinstry, & Stephanie Waddell. Mara Sloan designed their garments and Jesse Hlebo conducted the piece.
There will be further documentation and info regarding the piece in the coming weeks!

Swill Children is proud to announce that we are now distributed by Motto Distribution, based in Zurich. Motto is our favorite distributor so it’s a huge honor, for sure!

Somebody Else’s Problem 3
By Diwa Tamrong
Somebody Else’s Problem (SEP) is an ongoing series that explores the different ways an artist can lose control of their own work. Every new part to the series uses means of destruction, re-contextualization, collaboration and attempts of preservation in order to further investigate this notion. The work continues to grow with each version, but the artist’s control over the work dwindles as it falls into the hands of other people, disseminating through the internet and everything in between.
This iteration of the project includes international collaborations with artists Alana Celii, Ellie Rose, Leah Goren, Lizzie Jones, Nick Chrastil, Vincent Passerat

/ / /
Is realizing something the same as acting on that something? “9/16/10” is a darkly funny and semi-autobiographical story about a day, a month, and those certain times in our lives, when we must decide whether to change or whether to remain riding in “the middle seat of a three-seat moving truck.”

“Spit out in tense, hypnotic prose, James Yeh’s Taiwanese-American kaddish can be read in the time it takes you to brush your teeth, but I’m going to bet you don’t forget its sadness or its post-Brooklyn dread for a long, long time.”
-Ed Park, author of Personal Days/founding editor of The Believer
“Yeh’s quiet meditation on death will sneak in and throw up a window in your soul with its intensity.”
-Deb Olin Unferth, author of Vacation and Minor Robberies
/
James Yeh (b. 1982) is a writer and editor, based in Brooklyn, NY. His writing appears or is forthcoming in PEN America, Vice, the anthology 30 Under 30, and elsewhere. He is a founding editor of Gigantic and Indie Books editor at The Faster Times.

Nothing, More
By Milano Chow & Jesse Hlebo
An environment marked by confinement, consistent yet without repetition. The looming sense of pain and struggle is markedly apparent in all of the portraits and sequential poem by Jesse Hlebo. With an accompanying drawing and design by Milano Chow, Nothing, More is an edition that creates an experience of somberness and contemplation, though not without a present sense of the beautiful.
