Hey folks — from the record label that’s been making a reputation for itself over the past several years for your go-to spot for crazy experimental noisy sounds and truly unique merch options, perhaps we should have seen this one coming, but the latest Philip K. Discs release is here… and it’s a hand-built, fully customizable, fully modular, noise box you can use to make your OWN crazy experimental noisy sounds!

Introducting: The Haunt

From label owner Jeremy Hunt‘s Substack:
 

My label, Philip K. Discs, has always been dedicated to putting out noisy, experimental albums. This year, I decided to place the creativity into your hands, with a noise box that you can use to make your own chaos.

 

 
Introducing The Haunt, the first Philip K. Discs release of 2026. The Haunt is a modular noise box, ready to be plugged straight into your amp or run through your pedalboard. It’s perfect for beginners or seasoned experimental artists. It comes with all the implements and sound tools shown in the photo above, with inputs and space for you to add your own.

 
Here’s how it sounds running direct into an amp:

 
And here are some samples running it through my pedalboard (Fuzzrocious, Dirge, and Dwarfcraft pedals):

 
If you’re interested in scoring one, be aware that this initial run is limited to seven. You can grab it here. I can’t wait to see what y’all create with it.

As mentioned in the demo video, The Haunt is a wooden box with a built-in piezoelectronic pickup mic and 1/4″ output jack, plus a series of holes on the outside of the box where you can attach various noise-creating objects (including the spring, rubber band, and wooden stick that come with it or anything else you can dream up). The resulting sound can be sent straight into an amp or through any chain of effects you may have lying around. And as Jeremy said in his Substack signoff, I too will be interested in hearing whatever innovative sounds come out of whoever snatches up one of these custom creations…
