Seasons greetings! We are very excited about our new release which you can now pre-order, as always click on the artwork to purchase a copy.

QUEER’D SCIENCE – 'Wrench' / YEAR OF BIRDS – 'Jaw' split 12” LP

Black heavyweight vinyl, fold over sleeve with inserts. Edition of 150. (onec025)

We saw Queer’d Science (Manchester) at Supernormal earlier in the year, it was a Sunday afternoon and I was feeling a little jaded, hung over and a tad smelly and to say they blew away all of those and took Kath and I to another place and another dimension would be an understatement. We managed to grab a copy of their Girls Gone Wild CD from the merch tent and then it was a case of hoping they’d like to release something on One C, and here we are! Five new tracks of frenzied blood and guts split all over the floor for you to step into.

I first came across Year Of Birds (Middlesbrough) when I got hold of their split 12” with The Rebel towards the end of last year, we were mightily impressed with the angular sounds and sheer range of musical ideas that ran through their songs. The eleven tracks that feature on this new record are their finest to date, they build on their previous output with a focus and precision that takes you on a furious journey through a transgression of pure musical joy.

Queer’d Science – Wrench
1. Vaginal Wrath
2. America’s Next Top Modem
3. Denbigh Menstrual
4. Blood Sabbatical
5. Requiem For Liberace Wolf

Year Of Birds – Jaw
1. Textbook Frown
2. Art Colony
3. The Graph I Drew
4. The Much Admired Legwater
5. I Am A Magpie
6. Jewel In The Crown
7. The Past Is An Area Of My Pocket
8. Magic Marker
9. Barwick
10. European Witch
11. Average Evenings
 
Shipping in early January 2013 in cruciform mailers!

SCRATCHCARD LUNG – Death Of The Cool C58 Cassette (onec024)
Edition of 60. 25 track album from one of Glasgow’s most original bands. Recorded in their flat in Pollokshields in July 2012 by Steevin Cossar, and following on from their recent release on Winning Sperm Party these recordings capture the duo, Gaz and Simon, in blistering and genial form. With song titles such as Cheryl Gets Malaria, That’ll Be Twelve Quid and Stabbed, Snubbed & Snookered you get a cultural commentary blasted at you with sardonic wit and super tight musical efficiency. For fucking real!
 
For a bit of historical context both Gaz and Simon were in Lummox, an infamous group of anarchist, crusty activist-types who used to play loud and chaotic gigs around Glasgow in the late 1990s/ early 2000s. Gaz was also one of the founding members of Gummy Stumps and also played in a local supergroup featuring members of Bangtwister, Gummy Stumps and Macrocosmica who were 2 bass, drums and spoken word and were amazingly named, 'Bubblewrap Holocaust'.

Our new release is up for pre-orders! HEY COLOSSUS - Witchfinder General Hospital 12" b/w The Butcher (onec026)

Black heavyweight vinyl, silkscreened fold over sleeve, printed labels + insert. Limited x 100

This was going to be an 8" lathe but happily morphed into a 12". Witchfinder General Hospital suspends reality and time with its sheer enormity, the instrumental vibe jams its way through almost 16 minutes and is backed up with the equally transcending The Butcher (9:09mins).

Clicking on the artwork will take you right where you need to be should you want a copy and trip out to the whole title track below that!
