In the tradition of their limited collaborations with Mastodon and the author of the first definitive Gil Scott-Heron biography, Chicago coffee roaster Dark Matter has announced a special partnership with Thrill Jockey. Available for pre-order here, Doom Chuggy is described as a “dark offering for the valiant warriors who fight against the plague of mundane existence on cold winter days. A roasted, molasses body and chewy dark chocolate finish make this chuggable untraditional blend scream in the face of death.”
To hammer that heavier-than-thou theme home, the label has curated a mixtape (available as either a CD or cassette) featuring such psych/metal/experimental favorites as White Hills, Liturgy, The Soft Pink Truth, The Body and Barn Owl. And to tie everything together, local artist Sam Nigrosh worked on all the packaging.
