Slowbro / Nothings / CLR016
Heavier than the weight of existence itself, Nothings is Slowbro’s earth-crushing debut album. Their dual 8-string guitars make Slowbro one of the loudest live bands Creature Lab have ever booked, and on record their stoner / doom metal instrumentals are just as powerful. A must for fans of Resurrection Men.
Released on 12th May 2018 on CD and available via Bandcamp, Spotify, iTunes etc.

2. Fuzz Aldrin
3. Impending Robot Doom
4. Broslower

Gunther Prague / Lowercase Rats / CLR015
Recorded in just over 4 hours at the Moonbase Recording Studio, “Lowercase Rats” is a set of songs that weren’t quite ready in time for inclusion on “Capital Rats” - the band’s second album which will be released later in 2018. Instead, these were released as an EP in their own right within hours of being mixed. Waiting around is not something that this band particularly enjoy.
Released via the Gunther Prague bandcamp on 15th March 2018, with a full digital release to follow this summer.
1. Chuck Schwartz
2. Blood Blood
3. Forty Nine Weeks
4. Blood Blood
5. Sit Down You Madman
6. Blood Blood
Resurrection Men / No / CLR014
Resurrection Men return with their second album "No"... arguably the release that Creature Lab was founded for!
It's also undoubtedly the prettiest release we've ever worked on. Behind its delicate, pink crayon sleeve are hiding massive slabs of doom guitars, terrifying vocals and soundscapes that aren't quite satisfactorily explained by the desert / stoner labels often applied to the band's output.
Released on 7th October 2017 on 12" heavyweight vinyl, CD and available via Bandcamp, Spotify, iTunes etc.
1. Threes
2. Crust
3. Cider Glider
4. Rajah Way
5. Walking in Rivers
6. Regular Parrot
7. Communion with a Droid.
8. The Crystal Dome
9. Robot Overlords
10. Faint James
Fütumche! / Gazing into Misery / CLR13
Creature Lab's newest recruits Fütumche! declare their arrival with "Gazing into Misery" a double a-side taster of their forthcoming album, with extra b-sides that won't appear on any other release.
Get ready for weird tales told in the style of Ween or The Residents, with a healthy dose of synth on the b-side too. Fütumche! are CLR's new favourite band and we really hope that they will be yours too.
Released 17th June 2017 and available via Bandcamp, Spotify, iTunes etc.
A1. Gazing
A2. Misery
B1. Laer
B2. Forward
B3. Wait Inside
B4. Through the Mountain
