purge.xxx #22 - NO L by John Smith

purge.xxx releases music. It has been celebrated by The Wire magazine for its ‘disregard for the music industry, self-promotion and prevailing cultural norms,’ and an ‘ability to elevate distinct works and the obscure artists behind them.’ purge.xxx only releases music physically, unless a digital alternative has specifically been requested by a collaborating artist. It considers even the recording a compromise, but advocates things.

Running weekly, the series will broadcast the entire catalogue so far in chronological order, continuing here with NO L by John Smith.

The artist-filmmaker closes his sell-out Introspective (1 October—1 December 2022) with the release of a limited cassette edition of the soundtracks from his 16mm film ‘7P’ and his digital video ‘Regression’, featuring interpretations of The Twelve Days of Christmas recorded twenty years apart.

numbered + handmade in an edition of 50 copies; three riso-printed cigarette cards (of a possible six) with images by John Smith

Includes unlimited streaming of 'NO L' via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.
