Description: 35 tracks in 69 minutes! Rippers and Creepers is an eclectic mixtape and aural document featuring a killer clutch of underground artists, a snapshot of the “grotesque sounds of now”. Each group/artist contributes one short two-minute piece that either “rips” or “creeps” based on their own interpretation. The tracks compiled have been collaged and stitched together to make one long continuous track on each side of the tape resulting in a non-interrupted journey beyond the fringe. Curated and with artwork by Todd Brooks, Rippers and Creepers is a part of Pendu Org’s continued efforts to promote “esoteric ostranenie of contemporary weirdo culture”.
What’s a ripper?? A fucking torrent of sound, a rush, a jolt cola of frenzied euphoria and frenetic elation. It’s about loud music, fucking erotic, visceral and extreme.
>
What’s a creeper?? Good creepers are about shifting dynamics, open spaces, letting the sounds pulse and breathe. Creepers are not about making quiet sounds. They’re about restraining heavy sounds… Creepers are about creating unsettling and unnerving atmospheres and of course, before we get to serious, great creepers are about party-killing and all around bad-vibing.

About the title: some years ago our friend Clément told us he got a phone call that woke him up during the night. The unknown voice on the other side just kept saying “viscal… viscal…” which doesn’t mean anything in french by the way but sounds like some strange mix between “fiscal” and “visqueux” (“viscous”)… scary… seemed perfect for the compilation.

“The track ‘smile sun’ was created in the autumn of 2007 when micah aka “wendy stonehenge” enacted the ritual of the the moon god on drums and steve “aka steve” of the new thrill parade accompanied on the bass attempting and ultimately failing to make a sound representative of wind . i, howlin magic, played guitar with intentions to invoke the sun god.”
