GAUCHISTE is a trio consisting of Tannon Penland, Tomas Phillips, and Craig Hilton. Tannon is based in Richmond, VA and is also in the instrumental group Loincloth who are newly signed to Southern Lord Records. Tomas as well as Craig are from Raleigh, NC and are prolific electronic musicians specializing in the sparse. (Absinth Records, Trente Oiseaux, AFE Records, Young Girls Records to name just a few)

Out of a shared love of both metal and abstract, minimalist forms, GAUCHISTE are two parts electronic genius and one part grim reaper. The sum of those parts is a self titled debut coming November 15^th, 2011; seven songs that fuse Penderecki to Celtic Frost.

Little Black Cloud Records is honored to be a part of this groundbreaking collaboration of styles and artistry. This release is presently being mastered by James Plotkin (Khanate, Scorn, Lotus Eaters, etc...) who specializes in making extreme music of all kinds shimmer and has worked with heavyweights such as Sunno))), Earth, and Goslings.

Updates in regard to this GAUCHISTE release (CD/ LP/ DIGITAL), links to their forthcoming band website, and samples of their music will be placed here on the LBC website in the days to come as well as our twitter and facebook page.

At long last sounds of terror you can meditate to.
