Parachute is proud and excited to release art rock unit Starfuckers’ legendary “Sinistri” LP, remastered and pressed on vinyl for the very first time since its original version in 1994 on Underground Records.
Formed in 1987, Starfuckers is an Italian avant-garde band primarily from the 1990s, considered a notable part of the experimental rock scene and one of the more "out there" acts during their active tenure. Originally inspired by ‘80s post-Stooges noise and New York City No Wave, Starfuckers eventually carved their path to their own distinctive sound by following in the footsteps of Xenakis, John Cage, Maderna and Stockhausen — all without ever abandoning their own attitude and raw personality.
An incredibly important record for us here at the label, “Sinistri” feels just as fresh in 2016 as it did in 1994.

Another very pleasant electro EP from Brokntoys. Solid production, mostly good to dance to or to listen to while working or doing sports. Rating: 4/5 - Keep going ;) quzani
A compilation of rollicking cuts from this Australian post-punk band that plays like a hybrid of the Velvets and the Stooges. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 3, 2017
Such a special album I struggle to think of what to say about it. At times I'm afraid or put off even listening to it and sometimes its the most comforting thing in the world. I got this from a vinyl code and I only listened to that physical copy of it the morning after the night my dog died. The first time I ever lost someone that meant the world to me and it was the first time I didn't cry to it. This album is beautiful and if youre reading this, you are loved memon_dayz
