Polyethylene Pet's 3-CD set "Periphery" was released in 2012.

And it's available directly from this site.
 
Polyethylene Pet: Periphery (3-CD set)

An engagingly abstract and meaty epic presentation featuring music, textures, air raids and other fun.

This is the first release of new music from Polyethylene Pet since "1000 Satellites" in 2008. A collection of serial density and sarcasm delivered in their atypical Dadaist manner.

You'll sing, you'll weep and you'll dance but, mostly, you'll tap and bop to the beating. Enjoy!

Polyethylene Pet: Live in the 20th Century

Polyethylene Pet - "Live in the 20th Century" is out with a vengeance and available here.

You can now order it directly from us!!

This double album is a document of two live performances from 1980 - the infamous InterDada 80 concerts in Ukiah and the seminal "Slow Photos" recorded live in studio (the very first appearance of +1 on tape). Featuring the strange and alluring Chris Diurni on guitars, tape and vocals along with Kimara on various other things. Do yourself a favour - twist and shout to this fine concoction some of which the great Cavellini himself called "Nice".

Listen to "Slow Photos"
 

 
Polyethylene Pet: Time Capsule

"Time Capsule" - part 1 of a new Polyethylene Pet retrospective has been released and is now available here.


A dementia filled walk down memory lane, this collection serves as one flowing history covering a span of time from our humble beginnings in the mid 70s through our present day status as beloved icons. As always, it's full of exciting deviations from the norm. Attractive and repulsive at the same time in the usual radio-friendly way.
