    More artifacts unearthed while unpacking and moving into the new studio! I've found TWO COPIES of this ungodly and loud record. One Bleak Try was a forceful way to break the only creative dry spell I suffered since before starting out as Milieu in 2004 - with the brute force of repetition and ear-flossing sonics. To elevate the raw material out of the mundane and utilitarian state it was in, I drafted the recording talents of David Tagg, Peter Wright, Acreil, Jason Adams (aka Blind Slime), Millipede and Shinobu Nemoto (aka Summons Of Shining Ruins). Issued at INSTALL in a run of 100, and long since out of print, One Bleak Try remains one of the most polarizing records I've created.

    **NOTE: The items listed in the back catalog sale have all been found while unpacking. Some of them have been packed away for years in storage, and may have small imperfections. These are being sold as is, as the artifacts they are, to raise money for implementing the new studio. No refunds will be given.

about

Another fruit from the Install family tree has ripened for the picking, and that is ONE BLEAK TRY. The new album by BRIAN GRAINGER, featuring guest collaborations by Install alumni David Tagg, Peter Wright, Shinobu Nemoto, Acreil, Jason Adams and Millipede. A mammoth set of six songs about failure, recorded in a violent effort to break down the walls of some severe writer's block Brian was experiencing in the early 2010 year. Make no mistake, OBT is quite possibly the heaviest, angriest music Brian has ever released. Considering the source of the material, the collaborators make OBT a surprisingly varied album, and one not to be missed for longtime fans of the Install repertoire.
