We are pleased to announce that we are taking pre-orders beginning today for two new releases.

Prurient – Wrapped In The Flame Of Illusion, Masked In The Clay Of Behavior 2×7”

Recorded within the bleak transitional period immediately prior to the sessions that would now become known as Bermuda Drain, Dominick Fernow sketched out four compositions which can only be framed as “ambient power electronics”. Some of Fernow’s most destitute works to date, this release captures Prurient at its most vulnerable and sedate, reflective and rapt. Compositions that throw away that past decade of experience, only to start at the foundation of his art. Uniquely different from anything previous by Prurient and never to be repeated. Original exclusive cover art collage by artist Genesis Breyer P-Orridge. Limited to 500 copies.

Great news Dais friends and family!

Late last week the completed King Dude “LOVE” LP shipped from our wonderful printers and press to Dais HQ, and we are expecting arrival early this coming week. We plan to ship all orders before the holiday, but please expect some slight delays in shipment due to Thanksgiving and closed postal services.

Thank you for your support!

Amazing stuff coming up next (http://www.daisrecords.com/site/soon/)… and Friday we were treated to early reference layouts for Tor Lundvall’s upcoming concept album “The Shipyard”, due out Spring 2012.

As we near the end of our 4th year of Dais, we just want to thank you all for your ongoing support of the label and our efforts. We have a lot planned for the coming year.

Love from the Howling Hills!
Gibby & Ryan / DAIS

Dais friends and family, we are a BIT delayed (by about 2 weeks) on the King Dude vinyl due to a shipping issue which has been quickly resolved by our dear vendors.   We fully expect to begin shipping 3rd week of November. Thank you for your patience!    If you have not yet pre-ordered, there’s still time to reserve a great record and be automatically entered into our drawing for one of 40 beautiful handcrafted “Love” posters.  Love to you for your support.  -Gibby & Ryan / DAIS

The long awaited proper full length album by Seattle’s King Dude is up now for preorder. Dark pagan-fueled folk wrapped tight with outsider Americana, steeped in themes of love, death and redemption.  King Dude was initially projected forth using his Actual Pain vehicle for his metaphysical leaning and occultist tendencies.  Reverent as it is prophetic and stark, King Dude has previously swooned audiences with releases on Avant!, Bathetic and Clan Destine, now his masterpiece album on Dais pulls together the biblical sound and isolation of the northwest.  Stepping forward alone, King Dude has now toured across America, as well as a highly successful European tour this year…an atmosphere filled with hope and salvation, drawing sound influence akin to Death In June & Sol Invictus but sewing together a hybrid of true folk tradition alongside Woody Guthrie and Johnny Cash.  Limited to 500 hand-numbered copies.  Records come in thick die-cut cardstock sleeves revealing beautiful inner sleeve printed artwork beneath.  Designed by T.J. Cowgill.
