Label GB

Ashtray Navigations is an artist collective led by Phil Todd, formerly a solo project and now a collaborative effort. Phil Todd was the founder of the now defunct Betley Welcomes Careful Drivers label and currently runs Memoirs Of An Aesthete.
With a sound that blends elements of experimental noise, psychedelic rock, and improvisation, Ashtray Navigations has carved out their own unique sonic territory. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Vibracathedral Orchestra, No-Neck Blues Band, and Sunburned Hand Of The Man among others, their music is characterized by sprawling compositions filled with layers of distorted guitars, hypnotic drones, and swirling electronics.
Known for their prolific output and unpredictable live performances, Ashtray Navigations continues to push boundaries in the realm of underground music. Their discography spans over two decades and includes collaborations with notable artists like Jackie O Motherfucker and Wolf Eyes. With each release, they explore new sonic landscapes while maintaining their signature experimental approach.

27th Anniversary set for the multi-dimensional midlandscrew, led by Phil Todd and Melanie O’Dubhslaine. Nearly six hours of cosmic, psychedelic, mind-boggling sounds, featuring a newly recorded LP plus four maxlength CDs curated by AshNav connoisseurs Rob Hayler, Henry Rollins, Pete Coward, and Neil Campbell. The CDs are drawn from the band’s massive back catalog of mostly small run / private releases, covering activity dating back to 1994. Mining a deep well of thousand-yard stare psychedelia, Ashtray Navigations possess of one of the most exciting outré music catalogs of the contemporary era, matching the classics from any era in originality and straight-up bonkers fun. This epic release includes a full range of hypnotic jams, including sequencer-led cosmic workouts, drifty ambience, and a heavy dose of Phil Todd’s ripping, laser guitar leads. The gatefold LP also includes pithy liner notes from Matt Valentine, Henry Rollins, Jon Dale, and more.
