“Mixing mid-fi ’90s influences with elements of slowcore, Wild Pink evoke early Death Cab as they calmly process the chaos of the city around them.” — Pitchfork (7.3)

“Wanting Things Makes You Shittier’ is a sparse and haunting interlude in which frontman John Ross sucks the air of the room with his voice.”

—Stereogum

“‘Great Apes’ shows the band at its dreamy, poppy best, recalling the likes of The Sundays, dancing the line between a pop-rock and shoegaze.”

—A.V. Club

“Wild Pink sounds like a mash-up of all the things you love about all your favorite bands.”

—Post Trash

“Wild Pink make atmospheric, earthy, humbly-recorded indie rock that recalls a handful of mid-’90s to mid-’00s bands. It’s good stuff.”

Digging beneath the mess of the world to find the beauty underneath is perhaps the most consistent theme in Chelsea Wolfe’s expansive discography―a theme that ties together her ceaseless explorations in unorthodox textures, haunting melodies, and mining the grandeur embedded within ugliness and pain. With her sixth official album Hiss Spun, Wolfe becomes empowered by embracing the mess of the self, to control the tumult of the soul in hopes of reigning in the chaos of the world around us. “I wanted to write some sort of escapist music; songs that were just about being in your body, and getting free,” Wolfe says of the album before extrapolating on the broader scope of her new collection of songs. “You’re just bombarded with constant bad news, people getting fucked over and killed for shitty reasons or for no reason at all, and it seems like the world has been in tears for months, and then you remember it’s been fucked for a long time, it’s been fucked since the beginning. It’s overwhelming and I have to write about it.”

(07) TWIN FAWN (08) OFFERING (09) STATIC HUM (10) WELT (11) TWO SPIRIT (12) SCRAPE

While past albums operated on the intimacy of stripped-down folk music (The Grime and the Glow, Unknown Rooms), or the throbbing pulse of supplemental electronics (Pain Is Beauty, Abyss), Wolfe’s latest offering wrings its exquisiteness out of a palette of groaning bass, pounding drums, and crunching distortion. The flesh-and-bone of the material on Hiss Spun was culled from upheavals in Wolfe’s personal life, and coming to terms with years of vulnerability, anger, self-destruction, and dark family history. Aside from adding low-end he with gratuitous slabs of fuzz bass, longtime collaborator Ben Chisholm contributed harrowing swaths of sound collages from sources surrounding the artist and her band in recent years―the rumble of street construction at a tour stop in Prague, the howl of a coyote outside Wolfe’s rural house in California, the scrape of machinery on the floor of a warehouse at a down-and-out friend’s workplace. Music is rendered out of dissonance―bomb blasts from the Enola Gay, the shriek of primates, the fluttering pages of a Walt Whitman book are manipulated and seamlessly integrated into the feral and forlorn songs of Hiss Spun.

“The album is cyclical, like me and my moods,” Wolfe says of Hiss Spun.

“Cycles, obsession, spinning, centrifugal force―all with gut feelings as the center of the self.” And it’s an album that Wolfe sees as a kind of exorcism.

“I’m at odds with myself… I got tired of trying to disappear. The record became very personal in that way. I wanted to open up more, but also create my own reality.” Every Chelsea Wolfe album is cathartic, but never before has both the artist and her audience so desperately needed this kind of emotional purging.

Hiss Spun was recorded by Kurt Ballou (Converge), and features prominent guitar contributions by Troy Van Leeuwen (Queens of the Stone Age, Failure) throughout the album, and a guest spot from Aaron Turner (Old Man Gloom, SUMAC, ISIS) on the song “Vex.” ”

On her seventh studio album, Down Hearted Blues, Eilen Jewell steps back in time to unearth 12 vintage blues gems written or made famous by an array of artists, from Willie Dixon and Memphis Minnie to Charles Sheffield and Betty James. Like expert stonecutters, she and her band chiseled the songs into exciting new shapes and forms, honoring history while breathing new life into each discovery. Recorded live and in just two days, Down Hearted Blues finds Jewell making each song her own, while paying homage to her beloved inspirations.

SHILPA RAY

DOOR GIRL

Label: Northern Spy Records | Release Date: 09/22/2017 Cat#: NS 093 Format: CD, LP | Packaging: CD gatefold wallet, LP gatefold | SLP: $13.99, $24.99 Barcode: 754697443779 (CD) 754697443786 (LP) “Deep, powerful voice and poetic lyrics”-Interview Magazine “Ray’s worldview is akin to a black comedy where death and sex joust for top billing, with a punk-tinged soundtrack composed on a dreamy slide guitar...But her vivid scenes deserve more rave reviews than they draw.”-Jillian Mapes “She’s one of the most phenomenal things I’ve seen in a long time...She’s gonna be huge.”-Nick Cave “Shilpa Ray has all the goods: the power to rip through your chest and tear your heart to shreds, rock your socks clean off, and make you weep silly tears.”-Noisey “She delivers the songs in a voice that shapeshifts constantly between howl and coo, between boozy irony and acid rebuke.”Pitchfork “Picture a 2015 Nancy Sinatra coming from a Hindu family, and you have about half of what you need to process Ray’s music.”-Consequence of Sound “When singer-songwriter Shilpa Ray was growing up in suburban New Jersey, her strict Indian-American parents forbade rock and roll in their home.

Instead, they signed her up to learn classical Indian singing and to play the harmonium. She hated it, and snuck CDs by bands like the Velvet Underground and the Stooges out of the local library.”-WNYC Studio 360 Girls Are Free.

That’s what it says on a makeshift sign on the wall above Shilpa Ray’s head on her latest record, Door Girl. Sometimes in life it helps to take the signs one encounters literally. Girls are free to make mistakes. Girls are free to come and go. Girls are free of all those preconceived notions attached to what it is to be a girl. Gazing with a mixture of serenity and weary imperiousness beneath that sign is Shilpa Ray. Door Girl takes as its titular inspiration her time working the door at Lower East Side bar Pianos, its reputation one of hardscrabble survival and the inspiration of desperation. Shilpa Ray has seen it all.

Girls are free to bear witness.

“Shilpa Ray Stars as Door Girl” beckons from the cover of Door Girl in pink neon reminiscent of nothing less than the pink lipstick that spells out New York Dolls on the cover of their similarly explosive record. The seething frenzy of a feeding frenzy - the hallmark of closing time desperation - whirls around her on the cover, people moving past so quickly that they become a smear of obscurity even as she watches everything by the door. Or is it merely normal life, speeding across her hemisphere in that blasé and banal way that yields few treasures except those that only the most perceptive of all possible artists can dig out? Her song titles are gems that glitter with scorn - “Shilpa Ray’s Got a Heart Full of Dirt,” “You’re Fucking No One,” and “Morning Terrors Nights of Dread,” to name a few - and underscore how extortionately rare good song titles truly are.

Girls are freed.

Her voice - singular in modern popular music because of its radiant imperfection - takes neither prisoners nor guff as it offers up continuous caustic commentary on the human condition. Hers are observations gleaned from endless nights watching people in their natural habitat. These arenot pretty pictures, shot through as they are with violence in the obvious and menace in the failures. Alternately dreamlike and lifelike, Door Girl carves out its portraits of nightlife with reverberation and feedback, unveiling an expansive level of production quality through which even the perfectly-recorded snare drum is as present and as crisp as the bad breath of the drunk falling asleep at your elbow. Each instrument is so clearly defined in the presentation as to become one of those selfsame dive bar habitués on which Shilpa Ray shines a stark Klieg light of absolute truth. It is the story of a city as it lives and breathes at its most basic levels, as told by an artist who is equal parts musician and magician and for whom each song is a different life she has lived and breathed and experienced like few others have. - David Cotner Distribution Contact: Will Savery will@redeyeworldwide.com 877-733-3931 x287

SWAMPLAND JEWELS Various Artists

TRACKLISTING

Worldwide Release Date: September 22, 2017 Inspired by the original LP release on Goldband Records in 1979, and an expanded CD reissue in 1991, Swampland Jewels is set for release on September 22. A cult classic with an iconic cover, the 19-track compilation of classic Cajun, zydeco, rock ‘n’ roll and R&B music from East Texas and Southwest Louisiana is the first full-length release from Yep Roc Records partnership with the Southern Folklife Collection.

Produced by Steven Weiss, Curator at the Southern Folklife Collection, and remastered by Brent Lambert at The Kitchen Mastering in Carrboro, NC, the compilation features 12 tracks from the original LP and CD releases, seven newly discovered tracks, and includes liner notes

by Weiss on the history of Goldband Records and founder Eddie Shuler.

After comparing the two-track album master of the original ‘70s release to the album master, Weiss decided to rebuild the compilation from the high-resolution transfers of the un-overdubbed original session tapes. The release retains as much of the raw element as possible while keeping the dynamic range of recordings, which were recorded live, straight-to-tape, without overdubs.

HIGHLIGHTS • First full-length release from Yep Roc Records partnership with the Southern Folklife Collection • Inspired by original Goldband Records release and features remastered, remixed, and restored tracks - Includes 12 Tracks from original LP and CD releases along with seven newly discovered tracks from the vault • Live Performance Event Slated for October 1 in Carrboro - Lecture by Cajun music scholar Barry Jean Ancelet (University of Louisiana, Lafayette) - Performances by Jo-El Sonnier and Steve Riley and the Mamou Playboys

•KAIHO

STREET DATE: 9/22/2017

KAUAN have always created moments of quiet introspection, even amidst the thundering riffs and caustic screams that largely defined the contours of the band’s earliest output. But on Kaiho, as KAUAN step out of their past, songwriter and founding member Anton Belov expands upon the reverb-rich, post-rock debuted in 2009’s Aava Tuulen Maa to create serene, nostalgic soundscapes that transport the listener to idyllic days long past spent at the foot of the Ural Mountains outside his native Chelyabinsk.

TRACKLISTING

Kaiho is KAUAN’s seventh album following 2015’s lauded Sorni Nai, which chronicled the infamous and unsolved Dyatlov Pass Incident in which nine hikers mysteriously died after becoming trapped in a blizzard in the Urals.

Kaiho focuses on childhood and the transition to adulthood, when the death of a loved one shatters halcyon beginnings and makes clear the stark reckoning that awaits in the end. Lyrics for Kaiho were written by the great Finnish folk singer Marja Mattlar, and as always with KAUAN, they are sung in Finnish, a language that in its eliding vowels creates soothing ethereal tones understood by few but deeply felt by all.

With Kaiho, KAUAN lifts off into awe-inspiring plateaus where dulcet alien notes weave amidst the faded light of long gone autumn afternoons, the still of mid-winter, the glittering drops of snowmelt. These moments are remembered tenderly and fondly, echoing from the past and pieced together from afar in the bustling city center of Kiev that KAUAN has called home since 2011.

Art for Kaiho, a series of landscape and abstract watercolors painted by Belov’s grandmother, depicts memories pulled from his childhood in Troitsk, but visualized through her own interpretation. Art direction for the album was provided by FELD in Berlin, Germany (Erased Tapes, Nils Frahm, Ólafur Arnalds).

VARIOUS ARTISTS

Version Dread RELEASE DATE: 9/22/17 On the flip sides of most Jamaican singles were found dub versions of the vocal tracks, or what were commonly referred to as “versions”. In the early days the “versions” were mainly the instrumental track, with or without vocals. These were the days when songs were not recorded on multi-track machines. As the technology advanced more complex mixes of the vocal side became the norm, with echo, flanging and dropouts on the instruments and vocals.

The Studio One sound was always based on the rhythms track, and the labels dubs and versions always remained true to the hard-core rhythms the label released. This collection features eighteen B-sides of top Studio One singles made for commercial release from artists including the Wailing Souls, Willie Williams, the Abyssinians and a host of other legendary groups. Also included are two extended mixes, one of Ernest Ranglin’s “Surfing”, and “Never Give Version” by Carlton and the Shoes.

Track Listing: Setting Plum Bee Karma CDG High Rise White Cat The Trap Ginger Blue Cloud Driving

List Price: $19.98/$14.98/$8.98 Street Date: September 22, 2017 NO EXPORT TO EUROPE OR AUSTRALIA Plum is Wand’s fourth LP since the band formed in late 2013 but their first new album in two years. After a whirlwind initial phase of writing, recording, and touring at a frenetic clip, their newest document marks a period of relative patience; a refocusing and a push toward a new democratization of both process and musical surface.

In late winter of 2016, the band expanded their core membership of Evan Burrows, Cory Hanson, and Lee Landey to include two new members — Robbie Cody on guitar and Sofia Arreguin on keys and vocals. From the outset, the new ensemble moved naturally toward a changed working method, as they learned how to listen to each other

and trust in this new format. The songwriting process was consciously relocated to the practice space, where for several months, the band spent hours a day freely improvising, while recording as much of the activity as they could manage. Previously, Wand songs had generally been brought to the group setting substantially formed by singer and guitarist Cory Hanson; now seedling songs were harvested from a growing cloudbank of archived material, then fleshed out and negotiated collectively as the band shifted rhythmically between the permissive space of jamming and the obsessive space of critique.

This new process demanded more honest communication, more vulnerability, better boundaries, more mercy and persistence during a year that meanwhile delivered a heaping serving of romantic, familial and political heartbreak for everyone involved. They learned more about their instruments and their perceived limitations. Much else fell apart in their personal lives, in their bodies, and the bodies of those near to them. In this way, Plum lengthened like a shadow underneath a dusking Orange; or rather “Weird Orange,” an affectionate name given to the color of a roulette-chosen, tour-rushed batch of Golem vinyl... an idiom, an inside joke, a talisman, a bookmark, a mood ring. And meanwhile all the shifting weather, the wireless signals, the helicopters overhead.

Weird orange softened, darkened delicately, and rouged itself to a Plum.

The music of Plum focuses teeming, dense, at times wildly multichromatic sounds into Wand’s most deliberate statement to date, with a long evening’s shadow of loss

Also Available from God? Ganglion Reef GOD009 LP

and longing hovering above the proceedings.

Plum delicately locates the band’s tangent of escape from the warm and comfortable shallows of genre anachronism, an eyes-closed, mouth-open leap toward a more free-associative and contemporary logic of pastiche that more honestly reflects the ravenous musical omnivorousness of the five people who wrote and played it.

IGLOOGHOST “Neō Wax Bloom” Street Date: 9/29/2017 BF063 | BFCD063

On 29th September 2017, Iglooghost will release his debut album “Neō Wax Bloom”, almost two years to the day since he made his debut as a teenager on Flying Lotus’s Brainfeeder imprint with the “Chinese Nü Year” EP - four tracks documenting the timetraveling adventures of a gelatinous worm-shaped creature called Xiangjiao.

Expanding on this story, Neō Wax Bloom follows the events surrounding two giant eyeballs crashing into the mysterious world of Mamu. Across its 11 tracks, “Neō Wax Bloom” finds Iglooghost in rude health, building a typically intense, hysterical, borderline batshit crazy soundtrack, introducing new characters to his fantastical world and inviting back old friends Mr. Yote and Cuushe for the ride.

In the words of Iglooghost: “When a pair of giant eyeballs crash into the strange, misty world of Mamu, the mysterious forces that govern nature itself are disrupted. A life cycle of transforming creatures is thrown off balance, and the odd looking inhabitants of Mamu are forced to adapt to this calamity. These inhabitants include Yomi - a multicoloured pom-pom monk; Lummo - a wise blind witch training a band of melon coloured babies; and Uso - a sneaky bug thief hidden in a green cloak - as well as many others. As their respective stories begin to interlock, the mysteries surrounding the giant eyeballs are slowly revealed.”

Featuring artwork by Iglooghost, the vinyl format includes a large format 12-page Riso printed comic booklet and “Neō Wax Bloom” character sticker sheet.

Laraaji is a musician, mystic and laughter meditation practitioner based in New York City. He began playing music on the streets in the 1970s, Improvising experimental jams on a modified autoharp processed through various electronic effects. Brian Eno saw him playing one night in Washington Square Park and invited him to record an album for his seminal Ambient series (Ambient 3: Day Of Radiance, released 1980). Laraaji went on to release a prolific series of albums for a wide variety of labels, many of which he recorded himself at home and sold as cassettes during his street performances.

In recent years he has had his career celebrated extensively, with two All Saints retrospectives Celestial Music 1970–2011 and Two Sides of Laraaji – as well as reissues on Glitterbeat and Leaving Records/Stones Throw. He has also collaborated with a new generation of underground musicians such as Sun Araw - their recent LP Professional Sunflow (Superior Viaduct) being the fruit of the live shows they played together in 2014.

details:

Drawing as much influence from post-rock and punk as the emo world they’re often written in to, Prawn’s newest effort sees them carve out a dark but wildly immediate collection of songs that sits as their most formidable work to-date.

Coupled with a production that is consciously raw and provocative, Run is the sound of Prawn at their intoxicating best, mirroring the restless energy of their live shows and moments of sweeping ambience that balances the whole thing on a knife-edge.

Run is the sound of a band truly finding comfort in their surroundings and channeling it in to the most focused and exhilarating work of their life.

Michael Andrews created the score using an orchestra of obscure vintage synthesizers and drum machines to this Canne and Sundance Winning film. With songs by Cody Chesnutt, Spirtualized, and Virginia Astley.

Andrews fell into film score composition by chance when the band he was playing with—cult soul/jazz collective The Greyboy Allstars— was asked to score Jake Kasdan’s first feature, The Zero Effect. One year later, Andrews got hired to write the music for the highly regarded, though short-lived TV show, Freaks and Geeks (NBC), and soon after, he landed the score for indie film hit, Donnie Darko. Andrews considers himself primarily a guitar player, but Darko’s director, Richard Kelly, told him he didn’t want any guitar in the movie. So, he taught himself to play piano by ear. It’s part of the reason that the score is, as Andrews describes, so simple. “In a way,” he says, “your faults become your trademark.” Darko’s original score album went on to sell over 250,000 copies (in part because of Andrews’ remake of Tears for Fears’ Mad World, featuring Gary Jules), and Andrews became a composer to watch.

Andrews and July share similar outsider backgrounds. Andrews does not have any formal music composition training, and July, though she had made a few short films prior to Me and You, had been known primarily for her writing and performance art. July knew that she wanted the music to not to sound “like movie music,” and to sound as if someone who didn’t quite know how to play music had played it. As if the music was somehow a mistake that worked. It’s a theme that provides a thread throughout the film: people come together accidentally but they must make a conscious decision to act after fate has done its part.

Tom Principato & Steve Wolf

THE LONG WAY HOME

Since their first musical collaborations in 1978 Tom Principato and Steve Wolf have shared countless tours and recording projects. From the first notes of this new studio set they demonstrate an intuitive camaraderie expressed through warm tones, heartfelt melodies and soulful solo lines. This time they’ve traded in their customary solid-body Fender instruments for hollow-body Gibsons, nylon string guitars and the upright bass. With these tools they playfully shift roles with dexterity and affection weaving a lush chemistry of supple interplay. This diverse collection of original music comes together as a cohesive portfolio of musical styles: from blues and jazz flavored melodies to a Tex-Mex infused waltz, and even a tango. The Long Way Homeis a journey to where the traditional musical values of fineness, good taste and creative ingenuity still hold sway. You’ll definitely want to make the trip.

D33J Death Valley Oasis Catalog ID: ABR0150 Street Date: September 08, 2017 * Debut LP from Wedidit co-founder D33J. * Features contribution from Baths, Deradoorian, Corbin (f.k.a. Spooky Black), & Shlohmo. * Album art & design by D33J & Shlohmo. * Full tour with Shlohmo & Corbin starts days after release. * Follows recent production work for Lil Yachty, Corbin, Tory Lanez and more. * Vinyl pressing limited to 1000 copies w/ foil stamped cover download code * Extra limited colored vinyl edition available. * CD packaged in 4 panel digipak with foil stamped art. * Radio by Terrorbird Media * PR by Orienteer

To hit play on D33J's long-awaited debut album is to tumble headlong into a rich sonic universe of captivating improbabilities. Where narcotic house music slow-pulses alongside deconstructed future R&B and lush ambient dreamscapes. Where an astoundingly 3-D depth of field somehow radiates with incredible intimacy. Where digital means of production are often usurped by guitar play, analog synth, field recording, or tape edit. Where experimentalism and accessibility aren't the least bit mutually exclusive.

Perhaps that's why the taste-making Los Angeles producer and DJ named the project after a thing that doesn't, shouldn't, and couldn't exist: Death Valley Oasis. We'd expect nothing less from D33J, who picks up plaudits whether he's rocking a sweaty Boiler Room show with his Wedidit crewmates, producing blissed out rap tracks for Lil Yachty's albums and mixtapes, or composing solo songs that instantly immerse us in an ever-shifting grid of odd rhythms and melodies. It's all par for the course for someone who grew up in the hyper-cultural melting pot of L.A., plus attended the city's esteemed (yet public) Hamilton High magnet school, where he not only met future tourmate and Death Valley Oasis collaborator Baths, but played in bands with the surf-punkers who'd found FIDLAR, and loaned his sweater to Odd Future's Syd in biology that one time. His path to now has never not been strange and fascinating, with stops in San Francisco for a degree in audio-visual design, and Hamburg for a two-month residency crafting tech-powered interactive art installations, all while developing his inimitable sound. Two EPs — 2011's Tide Songs, in time eventually remastered by Brainfeeder steady Mathewdavid, and 2013's Gravel — plus a run of unpredictable mostly unauthorized R3MIX3S (Drake, Taylor Swift, Brandy, Sigur Rós) heralded the arrival, four years later, of this fully realized work.

Death Valley Oasis contains no filler but there are standout moments: like Anticon label mate and Dirty Projectors alum Angel Deradoorian channelling her inner Destiny's Child on the jittery "Spark", or D33J taking a rare turn on the mic to wax druggily romantic on "Plateau," or the eerie Burial-like gloom-bomb that is "Dead Sea," or "Rot," a teamup with Wedidit star Shlohmo (who also provides this album's artwork) and DJ Khaled-approved singer Corbin (f.k.a. Spooky Black) that opens on acoustic strum and reinvents the quiet storm genre before closing with what sounds like death metal pounded out on an MPC. Death Valley Oasis isn't just another entry in D33J's book of "Emotional Dance Music," as he once coined, it's the definitive tome and a paragon of what can be accomplished when a blatant disregard for musical boundaries is matched with ace technical ability and endless tangible heart. This is one to get lost in — the desert and the slake.

JORDAN RAKEI “Wallflower”

Street Date: 9/22/2017 ZEN245X | ZEN245 | ZENCD245 “Wallflower”: introverted, misunderstood, sensitive, strange and seemingly unknowable.

Newly signed to Ninja Tune, Jordan Rakei has battled his inner demons and written an inspirational, soul-stirring record in the process. Titled “Wallflower” which will be released on 22nd September 2017.

At only 25, the multi-instrumentalist, vocalist and producer - born in New Zealand to a Kiwi mother and father from the Cook Islands - is a rare talent whose distinct take on soul captures a sonic and emotional awareness many artists spend their entire careers chasing. He writes with a maturity and flair that belies his years and new album “Wallflower” sees Jordan edging beyond the peripheries of the genial, often sunflecked sound his fans have come to know him for. On “Wallflower” the focus is on live instrumentation - but the groove and the cadence are unmistakable, framing soul and jazz in a truly vibrant oeuvre that simultaneously recalls his predecessors The Roots and peers The Internet, Nick Hakim and Hiatus Kaiyote.

Jordan considers “Wallflower” his most personal work yet - it’s an emotive opus inspired by his own struggles with introversion and anxiety. Sonically lush and complex, yet lyrically relatable and unguarded, listeners are offered a glimpse into the mind and artistry of a musician who grapples with his own self- image and fears every day. On ‘Sorceress’ (recently supremely reworked by Photay) the ego is personified as a sinister and controlling spirit figure led by equal parts understated ethereal guitar and Jordan’s superb multi-layered vocals. New single ‘Nerve’, featuring Dave Okumu of The Invisible on guitar, is upbeat and incites a sense of renewal as its lyrics call out the fallacies within self-constructed paradigms. Elsewhere, the ska-tinged ‘Clues Blues’ is laced with trombone and saxophone by Ahmad Dayes and Wayne Francis II from South London pillars United Vibrations.

In many ways “Wallflower” is a direct emotional response to his new surroundings and is undoubtedly testament to Jordan’s personal strength, drive and overriding passion for his art as well as a reflection of his openness and eagerness to reach out and explore London’s fertile music underground. It cements not only his importance as a contemporary, and truly exhilarating, soul voice on the international stage, but his stature as a producer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist in total command of his sonic vision.

STUDIO ONE Supreme Maximum 70s and 80s Early Dancehall Sounds Street Date: 2 2 nd September 2017

By the 1970s Studio One and Clement ‘Sir Coxsone’ Dodd had already proved himself to be the defining force in Reggae for almost two decades. From running the Downbeat sound system on the lawns and yards of Kingston in the late 1950s to opening Studio One at 13 Brentford Road at the start of the 1960s, ushering in Ska and Rocksteady and establishing the careers of most of Jamaica’s artists – everyone from Bob Marley and The Wailers, Ken Boothe, Toots and The Maytals, The Skatalites, Jackie Mittoo and more – Clement Dodd had until this point dominated the Jamaican musical world.

1.

Johnny Osbourne & The Prophets - Keep That Light

2.

Dillinger - Natty Ten To One

3.

Lone Ranger - Natty Dread On The Go

And yet, incredibly, Clement Dodd was barely half way through his musical path, maintaining Studio One’s number one position in the Jamaican music scene throughout the 1970s with a combination of musical and creative innovation and an endless capacity to adapt and create new musical fashions. By the end of the 1970s Dancehall had become the defining sound on the island. Dancehall was essentially a tribute by other Jamaican producers and artists to the classic music of Studio One created in the 1960s as young artists across the island created new songs, while musicians recreated these original classic foundation Studio One rhythms. As on other occasions, Clement Dodd rose to this new musical challenge by producing a whole new era of classics for Studio One.

4.

Prince Jazzbo - Minstral

5.

Johnny Osbourne - Jah Promise

6.

Freddie McGregor - Wine Of Violence

7.

Papa Michigan and General Smilie - Compliment To Studio One

The roots of Dancehall begin with the DJs of the early 1970s, who were the first to sing new material over earlier classic rhythms. Early DJ pioneers such as Dillinger and Prince Jazzbo both feature here toasting over classic songs - The Mad Lad’s Ten to One and The Eternals’ Queen of the Minstrel. But it is the new wave of artists who arrived at Studio One at the onset of Dancehall which enabled Studio One to maintain its number one status as the whole of Kingston’s rival music producers – Channel One, Joe Gibbs and many others – attempted to challenge this position.

8.

Willie Williams - Easy

9.

Lone Ranger - Quarter Pound Of Ishen

10. Alton Ellis - A Fool 11. Jackie Mittoo & Brentford All Stars - In Cold Blood

Sugar Minott, Michigan and Smiley, Willie Williams, Lone Ranger had all grown up listening to the classic Studio One music of the 1960s and were able to pay the greatest compliment to the label by creating the defining new music of this new era with songs that combined all the musical and technological developments of the 1970s – dub, deejaying, discomixes, syndrums, synthesizers and more – into the sound of the future: Dancehall.

12. Jim Nastic & C. Dodd - Chanting 13. Brentford Rockers - Bushmaster 14. The Gladiators & Brentford Disco Set - Happy Man

Throughout this era Clement Dodd also continued to work with a number of original and returning artists – such as Alton Ellis, Horace Andy, Freddie McGregor, Johnny Osbourne – updating old rhythms and creating new ones while employing the in-house band variously known as The Brentford All-Stars/Rockers/Disco Set to update these sounds in order to maintain Studio One’s number one position as the defining force in Reggae.

15. Dub Specialist - Still Dubbing 16. Sugar Minott - Jah A Love You 17. Horace Andy - Show and Tell 18. Freddie McGregor - Rastaman Camp

This is Soul Jazz Records’ latest new collection of classic and rare Studio One recordings and is released on triple LP (+ download code), deluxe CD and digital album.

IN CELEBRATION OF THRILL JOCKEY’S 25TH ANNIVERSARY ESSENTIAL TITLES FROM THE SEA AND CAKE ARE RE-ISSUED ON COLOR VINYL FOR THE FIRST TIME! The Sea and Cake are a band who need very little introduction. In their extensive 25 year career the band has bridged the gap between Brazilian music of the late 1960’s, African influenced guitar lines, and independent pop.

A sound that is entirely distinct, centered around the delicate guitar interplay of Sam Prekop and Archer Prewitt, driven by the versatile rhythms of bassist Eric Claridge and drummer John McEntire, and finally set apart by Prekop’s vocals and obtuse lyrics.

The Sea and Cake’s 1994 self-titled debut is back on vinyl. Pressed on color vinyl for the first time (lite blue!) and packaged with a free download The Sea and Cake card.

“The Sea and Cake’s buoyant debut is a breath of fresh air, an utterly distinctive and innovative work that expands the scope of frontman Sam Prekop’s work in the great Shrimp Boat to incorporate a new fascination with Afro-Caribbean rhythms and textures. Recorded by Brad Wood, the album simply glows -- Prekop’s dry vocals and free-associative lyrics skip along a shimmering and lushly pastoral backdrop that nimbly fuses pop, soul, jazz, and even prog rock; tracks like “Jacking the Ball,” “Flat Lay the Water,” and “Showboat Angel” are as seductive as they are elusive.” - All Music The Sea and Cake’s second album Nassau is back on vinyl. Pressed on color vinyl for the first time (LP1 translucent blue, LP2 translucent green!) and packaged with a double sided insert and free download card.

Recorded by John McEntire at Idful Studios in Chicago, Nassau moves the band away from the more immediate pop leanings of their selftitled debut and sees them begin to experiment as a band in production and songwriting. Nassau was featured on countless 1995 year end lists, moving the band into the spotlight and out of the shadows. Nassau lives up to the promise of their debut and raised the bar for things to come.

The Sea and Cake’s third album The Biz is back on vinyl. Pressed on color vinyl for the first time (gold!) and packaged with an artworked inner sleeve and free download coupon.

Following the band’s self-titled debut released in Sept 1994 and Nassau released in March 1995, The Biz was the band’s third record in just over one calender year. It was recorded at John McEntire’s own Soma Studios. The instruments were mostly recorded live in only three days. The vocals were recorded by Prekop alone in five days. On Nassau the band experimented heavily with signal processing and on The Biz they continue that experimentation using less common forms of processing, more sparingly. They used a Roland Space Echo, EML-101, and ARP 2600 as both instruments as well as manipulators. Recording withstanding, The Biz continues to showcase the bands ability to mesh together their unusual blend of pop, soul and jazz into one seamless output.

The Nashville duo Hammock — celebrated by Pitchfork, NPR, the BBC, The Atlantic, and Ricky Gervais — returns on August 25 with Mysterium, the band’s eighth album since its founding in 2003. Composed as a memorial to Clark Kern, a son-like figure to Hammock co-founder Marc Byrd who died in 2016 from the tumor strain NF2, Mysterium merges modern classical, ambient, and choral music, and it’s of a piece with recent records by Max Richter and Jóhann Jóhannsson. The gorgeous, hour-long collection features contributions from the Berlin mix engineer Francesco Donadello (Winged Victory for the Sullen, Ólafur Arnalds), Peter Katis (The National, Interpol), and the Hamburg orchestrator Roman Vinuesa (“Iris,” “Umrika”), who transcribed scores for the Budapest Art Choir.

Dead Rider are up and rolling again, and Crew Licks is the latest job. After the thousand days and nights since Chills on Glass, Dead Rider had to overcome the creeping suggestion that they multitask themselves to sleep — or to premature brain death — whichever came first. Now they’re ready to get into their Rolling Stones suit and thank you for letting them be themselves again; to extrude rude grooves, shattered r’n’b and/or hip hop and mother’s blues in a priapic triad, tripped-out and overlaid, shedding the old fresh in search of new flesh; a gateway they’ve been dreaming of building in their minds. If you’re lacking for rhythm and imagination in your everyday nine-to-five, Dead Rider got the time for you.

With Crew Licks, Dead Rider offer an anti-hero for today. He’s the everyman, the workingman (the man that they in fact are), in a tailor-made creature — a monster, if you will — made up of many, to funk and bump through the bepuzzled night. To render the thing, they’ve grasped onto tools

pulled from the rubble of rock and roll. Yeah. Rock and roll is basically a used-up coloring book.

Some nice colors and shapes in there, and for anyone who worked one of them at a primary level, it’s a useful blueprint to recall. But when you’re trying to carve out the beams of something for NOW, you’re better off with new combinations.

Call Dead Rider. The beat is lode-bearing, brick-house solid (courtesy of batterie-man Matt Espy), but flexible, breathing. In through the cracks come stuttered words and whispers, the pealing of a steel drum, a squalling sax or two, barks from the outside. Crew foreman Todd Rittmann twines them with a cabling of acid-base guitar licks, cutting down into the roots for fingerings to invert and extend. The basslines roll and crush, bounce and squish as required (thank you, White

Christmas!), bringing synth and synthesis into and away from the framework. Wafting through the room is the float and gloss of eternal rhythm and blues, whether it’s the swelling of soulful choirs, organ chords or the deft tailing of guitar lines designed to relax us in the shades of a dusty, aphrodisiac evening. All done up with wack that Thundercat would get on the one, that would drive D’Angelo or Kendrick back to the notebooks for all the right words.

Crew Licks is audio-verite pop music; not created but lived, with parts of life on the run reused to facilitate other parts. A chimera, reflecting man in pieces; not whole or fully animate. But beautiful...and useful too. Just remember, kids — whether you take five or take a powder, artistic achievement and fun aren’t mutually exclusive. And even if you didn’t invent the wheel — good for you for putting on the spinner rims.

“Mnestic Pressure” is Lee Gamble’s first album since 2014 and his first with Hyperdub, a reset that sees a noticeable change in his sound and the concepts that feed into his music.

Lee says ‘From “Diversions 1994-1996” (2012) through to “Koch” (2014) - my music felt like I was dealing with signals from elsewhere signals from the unconscious, sub-aqua, hallucinated, dreamt. “Mnestic Pressure” feels like their decoded offspring, a terra interpretation.’

The title “Mnestic Pressure” comes from Lee’s thinking about how our contemporary memory is pressured, individually, but also collectively.

‘We live in these strobing, visual times, like a constant subliminal advertisement but, also over the last few years the world seems to have become more and more dreamlike, alien, and parodic itself and there was this part of me that wanted to drag my music back from this Shangri-La, but fully drenched and infected by its ghosts.’

“Mnestic Pressure” as a whole is a simulation of this experience; a flow of targeted information, through contrasting and quickly changing terrain, from one track to another you’re dragged into a new space. The pressure to move is intrinsic to the flow of the album, one thing morphologically transforms into another, zooming in and out from wide angle to detail, reshaping into new forms at a speed Lee’s music hasn’t before.

The music on “Mnestic Pressure” has a hardness, with a structure and melody that was sublimated in Lee’s previous LPs. It builds on his more recent experiments with more functional dancefloor forms. Here his hypermodern production and crunchy, dissembled beats feel like they could be malfunctioning holograms projected onto the hallucinated memories of his early work.

Matt Edwards drops his eagerly anticipated debut Radio Slave album ‘Feel The Same’ via his Rekids imprint in September.

Easily his most recognisable nom de plume, Radio Slave was initially Matt’s pseudonym for remixes, with early reinterpretations of Kylie Minogue and New Order leading into frequent work for both major and independent labels.

He’s now indisputably one of House and Techno’s most in-demand remixers, whilst original Radio Slave productions have gone on to appear via reputable imprints like Running Back, R&S, Ostgut Ton, Nonplus and Work Them Records.

Instrumental in supporting the music and careers of artists such as Nina Kraviz, Spencer Parker, Gerd Janson, and many others via his label Rekids - Edwards is held in high regard for his A&R abilities and has also established numerous other renowned labels such as Pyramids Of Mars, Cabin Fever, and The Double R. Now, more than 10 years since Rekids' inception and with over 100 releases under its belt, the influential figure announces the release of his debut Radio Slave album; a masterpiece of sophisticated electronic music that evokes the early spirit of dance music yet continues to forge his reputation as a cutting edge and innovative producer.

The album is a culmination of years as a DJ, producer and remixer; with influences spanning a range of genres such as breaks and jungle, acid, Balearic, ambient, dub, Chicago and also vocal samples exemplary of the Radio Slave sound.

Opening with the beatless ‘2nd Home’, with its murky tones and field recordings, the album navigates between syncopated beats and ethereal voices as found in ‘Forana’, as well as screeching synths and moody basslines like in ‘Trans’.

Under his various guises Matt Edwards has continued to demonstrate how musically diverse he is as a producer without any compromise in quality. His REKID moniker features more of his downtempo work with a album release on Soul Jazz, not to mention timeless releases like ‘Next Stop Chicago’ and ‘Lost Star’ which still remain iconic today. The ‘RedHead’ LP saw the producer demonstrate his ability to collage sounds under The Machine, whilst alongside close friend Joel Martin the Quiet Village project is cinematic and heavily sample based, exploring evocative and understated soundscapes.

Exhibiting many of his signature production abilities whilst also demonstrating his more experimental side, ‘Feel The Same’ is an exceptional body of work that exemplifies Matt Edwards’ production and music writing, reaching a new level of sophistication. From start to finish the album is a testament to his versatility as an artist and a definitive full-length by one of electronic music’s most pivotal figures.

With its rich history as a blues town of unusual depth and verve, Memphis has produced a significant crew of players and this knock out collection, focusing on mid-century Bluff City harp bosses, emphatically re-asserts that reputation. With classic workouts from the mighty likes of Walter Horton (doing business here, on his first recordings, as “Mumbles”), Willie Nix and one man powerhouse Joe Hill Louis, the material ranges from lowdown, piercing harp and impassioned vocal pleas to raw, stomping, rhythm heavy instrumentals. With Sun Records visionary Sam Phillips overseeing almost every song here, and irresistible numbers like Horton’s “Wolf Call Boogie” and Woodrow Adams’ “Wine Head Woman,” it’s a priceless snapshot of a critical moment in blues history.

The sixteen killer Depression-era blues tracks assembled here laid the foundation for Chicago’s volcanic post-war blues eruption, and each of these performances are as penetrating and visceral as anything which followed. With a stellar roister that includes Sonny Boy Williamson, Robert Lockwood, Tampa Red, Robert Nighthawk and the great country blues mandolinist Yank Rachell, from whose marvelously primitive 1938 classic this set takes its title. Standouts here include the stinging slide guitar and evocative yodel burnished vocals of Tampa Red’s marvelous “Worried Devils Blues,” the lethal, mandolin fueled craving of Elijah Jones fantastic, fast-moving “Stuff Stomp,” and multiple contributions from the two reliably superb Roberts, Nighthawk and Lockwood. Lively, vivid and still sounding as fresh as ever, this is a must have for blues fanciers.

Although Detroit is usually associated with Jackie Wilson and Andre Williams’s R&B and sensational 60’s soul phenomenon Motown, the Motor City had a solid crew of straight-up bluesmen, and this set features some fine examples of the city’s post-war era practitioners. The performances are wild Walter Mitchell’s “Pet Milk Blues” with its audacious, feuding harmonicas and eerie shrieks sets the albums tone, while funky homeboy Robert Mitchell’s raunchy remake of the murderous, VD-themed lament “Something’s Wrong” really goes the full route. Along the way you get a slew of rare gems from the likes of Slim Pickens, L.C. Green and the wonderful Baby Boy Warren’s good rockin’ “Hello Stranger” (featuring Sonny Boy Williamson’s brilliant harmonica) and “Bad Lover Blues” which cogently sums up Detroit’s sixteen cylinder aesthetic: “Just because he’s got a Cadillac with that hydromatic drive, you don’t ask him for no money, all you want to do is ride…”

Description:

Ambitious, grand and by any measure, beautiful; it’s tempting to simply and sincerely soak in the atmosphere of “Titan’s Island,” the second full-length album from Ancient Ocean, the long running ambient project of NYC-via-Kentucky resident J.R. Bohannon. The album unearths the intense process mending the worlds of modern classical, expansive sound art, minimalism, and the usual micro-guitar and synth exploration we’ve come to expect from Bohannon.

At the very heart of “Titan’s Island” is the album’s concept. Saturn’s moon of Titan has long been considered to be our solar system’s only habitable planet aside from the earth – largely because of its surface lakes and seas, as revealed by the exploratory spacecraft Cassini, as a part of perhaps the most ambitious planetary space exploration in human history. These notions of discovery and exploration immediately find life of their own under Bohannon’s direction, who notes that part of the album was directly influenced by his thinking about how sounds may take shape in space. Space, you’ll recall, is a vacuum. Given such, are the sounds – the literal wavelengths and electromagnetic waves – actually there. And if so, what do they sound like?

Such is the depth of exploration engineered by Bohannon on “Titan’s Island.”

CD Digipak / $13.99 / 857387005377

The stirring sounds that make up “Titan’s Island” fit no easy description. While the echoes of fellow pioneers in contemplative sound – be they Robbie Basho, Laurie Spiegal, Laraaji, or thousands of others from around the world and back again – may serve as a strong undercurrent to Ancient Ocean, responsibility for the meticulous manner in which they’re assembled for maximum emotional resonance rests with Bohannon exclusively. What is undeniably and immediately present is the core, contemplative quality of “Titan’s Island,” decipherable from the opening seconds of the interlocking, sustained synth tones of the title track that begins the album. The cosmic crash of expectations is brilliantly blown apart only moments later, as the entrance of a genuinely haunting pedal steel guitar line initially implies to the listener that the album is bound to nothing less than an absolutely skyrocketing ambition — an ambition that’s only confirmed, over and over again, on the album’s remaining thirty-nine minutes.

The four songs that make up the album may be better understood as movements, although no matter the definition, their impact is more than the sum of the distinctions. The compositional range of the album is appropriately massive, and occasionally overwhelming (and this is meant purely as a compliment), in a way that’s not just representative of previous Ancient Ocean releases, but emblematic of Bohannon’s emerging, evolving excellence. There’s a temptation to call it one of the year’s most magnificent albums – and Bohannon’s most expressive work to date – but rather than submit to that temptation, we’ll simply recommend your best headphones are in proper working order. - Ryan Muldoon

“Drawing from free jazz, hard bop, funk, dub and post-rock, without resulting in some featureless muddle or lifeless ‘fusion’, the group’s aesthethic simultaneously recalls different aspects of early 70s musical experimentation: The Art Ensemble of Chicago, Bitches Brew/On the Corner-era Miles Davis, and vintage King Tubby.

Isotope 217 don’t merely assemble these diverse elements in one place, but rather explore the common ground that already underlies them: a shared emphasis on texture, timbre, space, and groove” - The Wire

SALES POINTS

“On Isotope 217’s impressive debut Mazurek works wonders alongside Sara P. Smith’s elastic, earthy trombone, adding particularly Cherry-like phrase fragments on “Beneath the Undertow” and laying slow tones over busy rhythms. Tortoise percussionists Dan Bitney and John Herndon weave together acoustic and synthetic rhythms while bassist Matt Lux holds steady. Parker is rarely in the spotlight, but his presence is huge-he lurks in the background, subtly coloring the proceedings, sneaking in a deadly wah-wah groove on “Phonometrics”, the hardest-funkin’ cut” - Chicago Reader

In celebration of Thrill Jockey’s 25th anniversary and the album’s 20th anniversary the band’s 1997 debut is re-issued on vinyl for the first time. The LP is pressed on virgin vinyl and packaged with a download coupon

OVERVIEW: Mashrou' Leila are a five-strong indie band based in Beirut. Their rousing, sensual electro- pop anthems about political freedoms, LGBT rights, race, religion and modern Arabic identity have challenged the status quo of the Middle-Eastern pop industry.

Ibn el Leil, which means “son of the night", is Mashrou’ Leila’s most ambitious album to date, exploring the complexities of taking refuge in the danger, comfort, lust, and promise of the night.

The loose collective of students who began jamming together in 2008 at the American University of Beirut has gradually focused into a an ambitious, fiercely articulate quintet: vocalist/lyricist Hamed Sinno, guitarist/multi-instrumentalist Firas Abou Fakher, violinist Haig Papazian, drummer Carl Gerges, and bassist Ibrahim Badr. And the music they make has focused, too, into a charged, atmospheric version of pop that is geographically impossible to place.

The lyrics draw on their collective experiences, which the band shares with the youth of the Middle East, and the album addresses the need for self-expression and a judgment free culture— a notion often stifled in a conservative society. Through their relevant and charged lyrics, their music has resonated with fans all over the globe, gaining international recognition for the band. CNN has described Mashrou’ Leila as “The voice of their generation” while the Financial Times have called them “The Arab world’s most influential independent band”.

The album takes place in a hypothetical night, zooming in on specific experiences, from the ritual of preparation (a prayer to the muse of song), to 2015’s horrifying shootings in Lebanon, to the aching loneliness that can be felt even on the crowded dance floor. Ibn El Leil, as with all of Mashrou’ Leila’s albums, was self-produced and was recorded over the course of three weeks in a studio in suburban Paris. Ibn El Leil brilliantly reimagines the vibrant sound of contemporary Beirut with guitars, drum machines, samples, razor-sharp violin and magnetic frontman Hamed Sinno’s mercurial voice. The sonic world of the album considers each instrument that is performed by the five-member band — far removed from the digital sounds of radio-pop — and experiments with silky synths, orchestral beats, and live drums and brass.

Self-released and never before available on CD outside of their live shows and a handful of stores in the Middle East, Mashrou’ have prepared a new deluxe version of Ibn el Leil for worldwide release. The original album has been joined by a wealth of new material, including unique alternate versions, live sessions and an unreleased track ‘Roman’. This will be supported by live shows across the Middle East, North America and Europe. Remixes of album tracks by leading DJs and producers are to be released throughout the summer.

PNKSLM Recordings are proud to present the self-titled debut album from the UK’s Holiday Ghosts.

Holiday Ghosts are based in Falmouth on the south coast of England and originally started out as the solo project of Sam Stacpoole of The Black Tambourines, with the rest of the line-up evolving since 2012. Now a full collaboration between Sam and girlfriend Katja Rackin, also featuring various members of The Red Cords, The Golden Dregs and William Weak, playing a stripped back and primitive style of rock n roll, with influences from acts such as Modern Lovers, The Clean, Violent Femmes and The Velvet Underground.

The debut LP "Holiday Ghosts" showcases a mix of tracks written by Sam Stacpoole, Katja Racking and Charlie Murphy (also of The Red Cords, Freak Genes, Murph & The Gazorpos).

It was recorded over two years at Troubador Studio in Falmouth on 8 track quarter inch tape and also features Ben Woods on bass. The album steps away from today’s heavy, fuzzed out guitar riffs and drones, and instead shows a leaner, snappier and more playful sound..

Track Listing: Migration Tok Tru Transmigration Metamorphoses Oneiric Ka You Are Myself

Street Date: Sept. 22, 2017 NO EXPORT TO EUROPE Sapropelic Pycnic is the Drag City and world debut of music presented under the name of Ka Baird. While this record is a commencement of many sorts, it is in no way a mere beginning.

Ka’s ritual is well underway here, her craft clearly already a dedicated mastery; it finds her on the hunt for new discoveries with a humble desire for the transfigured, the sublime.

This has been among the goals since early times, when Ka was one of the founding members of experimental psychlings Spires That In the Sunset Rise. Formed in 2001 out of the Chicago scene, and described by late guitar legend Jack Rose as a “female Sun City Girls,” Spires’ sisterhood of sound deepened the New Folk slant with an array of avant- and world-flavored directions drawing them ever-farther into the source.

Ka relocated to NYC in late 2014 and immediately embarked upon new directions — exploring piano improvisations, electroacoustic intervention, extended vocal technique, physical movement, and the electronic processing of her flute playing. The singular force that is Ka is represented on two

LP

releases under the Sapropelic Pycnic name — the improvised piano album See Sun Think Shadow (released in November 2015 on Brooklyn’s Perfect Wave imprint) and the Coltrane tribute A Love Supreme (on Chicago’s No Index label in January 2016).

With the release of Sapropelic Pycnic, Ka manifests an evolving selfhood, expanding upon the essence of her first two albums’ artist name, while replacing and thus becoming that name on her own. “Sapropel” is a contraction of the ancient Greek words sapros and pelos — putrification and mud. “Pycnic” draws from pyknos — dense; stocky. This wordplay is meant to suggest a physical consumption, ingesting of the nutrient-rich mud found at the bottom of seas, lakes and rivers. Very much akin to the gorging of this metaphorical sludge, on Sapropelic Pycnic, Ka Baird imbibes sounds to provoke unseen forces within the wilds of her own unconscious, then brings them into the play.

Emphasizing breath, via voice and flute, Sapropelic Pycnic is a possession, a physical catharsis, a transformation, comprised of burry, guttural rhythms,

loops and clusters of flute figures with gliding vocal and synth melodies.

Reaching toward the ancient roots of music, Ka utilizes electronic manipulation to take the ear past preconception, combining the linearity of the physical with the abstraction of the cerebral, crafting textural rhythmic noise alongside lush operatic passages, containing multitudes.

Conceived live as a series of solo vignettes and played that way by Ka (featuring contributions from Max Eilbacher (electronics), Sandy Gordon (vibraphone) and Troy Schaefer (violin)), Sapropelic Pycnic draws from primordial ooze and raises high a sacrifice to the immemorial concept of the sacred, citing Chris Hedges in The Power of Imagination: “A society that loses its respect for the sacred, that ignores its oracles and severs itself from the power of human imagination, ensures its obliteration.”

We are standing on the verge of a great chasm. Sapropelic Pycnic uses tools both ancient and modern to draw Ka Baird — and all who listen — upward, toward the eternal.

SIDE A

No Export to Europe

October 30, 1979, parts 1–3 SIDE B

March 18, 1980

By October, 1979, my partner, Aaron Weiner and I had produced a handful of Boffomundo Shows at Los Angeles’ first public access television studio at Theta Cable in Santa Monica. It was our good fortune to meet and partner with Tony Harrington of All Ears Records and we joined forces as The All Ears Boffomundo Show. Up to that point we interviewed King Crimson’s Robert Fripp, PFM singer Bernardo Lanzetti, and Brand X & Phil Collins (before his solo fame).

All Ears Records stable of artists concentrated heavily on Japanese bands and musicians. He introduced us to the already legendary synthesizer master, Fumio Miyashita, founder of The Far East Family Band, who Tony boldly dubbed “Japan’s Answer to Pink Floyd.” While certainly influenced by the Floyd, Fumio, along with fellow band member and award winning synthesist, Kitaro, were more accurately evolving the electronic techo-stylings of Germany’s Tangerine Dream, Ash Ra Temple, Kraftwerk, and other Krautrock innovators from the early 1970s.

One-time Dream and Temple member, and a seminal synth innovator in his own right, Klaus Schulze, both produced and mixed several Far East Family Band albums.

As Aaron recalls, “Fumio was a gentle soul. Soft spoken, thoughtful and intelligent. And on the cutting edge of technology. It was in Fumio’s hands that I first viewed a Sony Walkman. It is mind boggling to think what has transpired technologically since then.” Fumio brought multiple keyboards, percussion and incidental sundries to a studio the size of a small garage. Somehow, the staff of Theta Cable Studios managed to capture all the sound pumped through a 12" bookshelf speaker! A single microphone rested on a wooden stool in front of that speaker.

In 1980, a second appearance from Fumio included Far East Family Band members, guitarist Lance Hooks and bass player George Babon. The same lone bookshelf speaker was employed once again! That proud little speaker is no doubt fully decomposed in a landfill somewhere but the music survives . . . .

“A superb songwriter –one of the founding fathers of country-rock.”—All Music Guide

Gene Clark served as The Byrds’ chief songwriter in the mid-sixties, penning some of their most essential songs, including “Feel a Whole Lot Better,” “Eight Miles High” and “You Showed Me.” He is widely considered to be a pioneer of three musical genres: folkrock, country-rock, and psychedelic-rock.

Two Sides To Every Story, the long out-of-print RSO album, now stunningly remastered and lovingly reissued, is a masterfully eclectic album that was voted #3 in the 2010 UNCUT feature “Readers 50 Greatest Lost Albums.”

CD CAT# HMRCD•02 UPC: 641444103126 SRLP $19.99

Clark’s inimitable songwriting and singing continues to inspire generations of artists including: Robert Plant and Alison Krauss (who recorded two of his songs on their 2010 Grammy ® winner Raising Sand), Bob Dylan, Fairport Convention, REM, Tom Petty, Yo La Tengo, Teenage Fanclub, and Wilco. Further evidence of Gene’s growing stature came in 2104 when members of celebrated indie bands Beach House, Grizzly Bear, Fleet Foxes, and The Walkmen garnered rave reviews with a string of performances of Gene Clark’s 1974 No Other album in its entirety. The concerts’ encore featured Beach House vocalist Victoria Legrand performing a chilling version of Two Sides’ timeless “Hear The Wind.”

“This is Clark at the height of his poetic powers, wading deep into the psyche of desire, enlightenment and redemption.”—UNCUT “A lost Gene Clark classic.”—Rolling Stone “10/10 – perhaps the pinnacle of Gene Clark’s career.”—Glide Magazine

“The work of a masterful singer and songwriter. The best moments are honestly magical.

Succeeds on many more levels than the more heralded No Other.”—All Music Guide “Extra tracks, rare photos and detailed liner notes help make this the de nitive version of a lost and nearly forgotten gem.”—American Songwriter “Simply extraordinary - a work of true beauty and width.”—PopDose

MEDICINE 2.0 EXTRANEOUS LP-DR-00028

Street Date: September 22, 2017 Format: LP (with download) List Price: $19.99

In short, Brad Laner is an American musician and record producer best known for his work with the shoegaze band Medicine, which he founded and leads. Additionally, Laner is an active solo artist, recording under the moniker Electric Company as well as releasing four albums under his own name. Micro-Awakenings (released by Drawing Room) is his most recent. Artists such as Brian Eno and Caribou sample his work. His numerous and varied collaborations include projects with Lindsay Buckingham, M83, John Wiese, and members of Failure and Tool.

With all that said, mastering both musical worlds of leftfield experimentation and the popular is no small feat. It’s even more of a challenge to bridge these two arts together, especially when the end result is most pleasing to the ears. However, these are exactly the kind of accomplishments that Brad Laner brings forth with almost every release he’s been a part of. His structures allow the listener to move through the realms of song craft with a harmonious sense of enlightenment. His sounds pleasure the cerebral realms that euphorically resonate the whole self. (And yes, it’s completely true too!)

A perfect example of this scenario comes in the form of Brad Laner’s early aughts collaboration with Shannon Lee, simply called Medicine (that creative umbrella for which Laner will forever be its leader).

Though the background story to this collaboration is most inspiring, the resulting harvests are those that find Laner (with Lee’s highly trained voice) at a creative apex.

Initially considered an anomaly in a newly post-Strokes world upon release by the duo in 2003, The Mechanical Forces of Love is unforgettable. With heavy rock presence, it is a mostly electronic affair with a clear influence from the new dance culture, an idea at the time still considered nearly taboo by the establishment. Upon first release, most critics responded to the album with either bemused acceptance, outright hostility, or surprisingly, in the case of the Pitchfork, an 8.0 review.

With hindsight now available, it is definitely time to start re-experiencing all the goodness Laner and Lee brought forth way back when, and this reintroduction begins now with a new compilation entitled 2.0 Extraneous.

Now, 2.0 Extraneous is not exactly The Mechanical Forces of Love.

Instead, it’s a parallel universe version of said record. Some may even argue that it’s the better universe version.

Gathering mostly non-LP songs initially used on UK singles, including a Devo cover, an acoustic track, a remix, and a few unreleased treasures, 2.0 Extraneous provides the listener with a re-make/re-model reconstruction of the highly fruitful collaboration between Laner and Lee. In this present, these tracks sound more relevant and contemporary than ever. It’s a breath of fresh air, and you can really dance to it (mostly).

2.0 Extraneous – The Table And The Bed | Machine Inna Garden | Talk To A Rock | A Flying Fuck | Best Future (Acoustic) | The Day My Baby Gave Me A Surprize | Into The Light (Medicine Remake/Remodel) | Close-Up of Family’s Dream

KING GARBAGE

M a ke I t S w e a t September 22, 2017 Zach Cooper and Vic DiMotsis return as King Garbage with their debut album, Make It Sweat. Following their 2013 debut on our Bangers & Ash 12” series (BASH003) and solo releases in 2016 - Cooper’s reflective, harrowing The Sentence (SUS011) and DiMotsis’ blistering, soulful beat tape, Mine Eyes Dazzle (SUS017) - the duo double down on soul and funk traditions to share new ways of communicating soul across eight rippers to the dome.

Make It Sweat follows the sunny and smoked rhythm and blues mode of BASH003 with a greater glow (mix care of Rachel Alina, Styles’ ace in the hole, get to know) and peerless compositional prowess. Check the wandering, hallucinatory desert dirge “Devil”, the Sufjan peaks and troughs of a castaway’s song, “Sharks”, or the lover’s inebriated lament for one last jam before heading home, “Lost In The Sauce”.

Imagining the rhythm sections of Pino Palladino and Questlove amongst the vocals of Beth Gibbons or Sam Cooke will put you in the right headspace for King Garbage.Vic and Zach melt influence and experience with sheer joy, good humor and hearts full of friendship to burnish gems of dusted pop. Vic’s vocals interplay with Zach’s guitars like a spell on “Merry Go Round”, their respective contributions bending under and over each other with endearing coordination.

“Forbidden Lovers”, an ode to a friend who stays home with records instead of DJing out, ups the funky ante to the record’s catchiest heights. The flexibility on display is maddening - from croon to fourtop harmonization, from breaks full of grit to heavenly horn sections, Vic and Zach push themselves into new territory with each track, grinning and improvising their way from one corner of the country to the next.

Make It Sweat refers to Vic and Zach’s personal manifesto to “smile in the face of looming obstacles.” A turn of phrase called out by either friend to encourage the other to play up, crank it, and go big - words of encouragement when the pressure is on and the spotlight shines its hottest. The title might taste of vice, but the sentiment couldn’t be further placed. After twelve years of friendship and collaboration, the duo have learned to lean on each other and encourage forward motion no matter the outcome. “Make it sweat” is their rallying cry, a playful and in-the-moment call to arms.

Styles have had the pleasure to grow with these two friends over the years. Though both have left the city for greener pastures in Asheville and Black Mountain, NC, they remain integral to our NY experience.

Zach’s smile greeted us upon landing back in the city when Styles’ was only just beginning, leading us down some life-changing sonic roads to eye-opening discoveries; Vic’s vocals on BASH003 changed our perspective on the range of music Styles should support. It is our distinct honor to share a snapshot of King Garbage’s vibe, one already called upon to support the greats - Ghostface, Raekwon, and Talib Kweli, to name a few - at their North Carolina stops.

*9037H-AEEIBc

GENRE : ROCK / ALTERNATIVE FILE UNDER: “U” Upper Wilds “F” Friel, Dan, “P” Parts & Labor RELEASE DATE : September 22, 2017 NO EXPORT TO EUROPE, CANADA, AUSTRALIA

EXPORTABLE TO JAPAN TRACK LISTING: Upper Wilds is the new band of Brooklyn-based musician Dan Friel (Parts & Labor). Friel’s calling cards are his heavily distorted textures and addictive melodies. These high intensity pop songs are reminiscent of label mates Lightning Bolt, with whom Friel toured in 2015. However, where Lightning Bolt’s vocals are heavily distorted, Friel’s tend toward the soaring style of pop/ punk vocalists. Guitar Module 2017 was recorded with Friel playing all the guitar and keys and for the first time since Parts & Labor, singing. Captured by the engineering team at Machines With Magnets (Battles, The Body), Guitar is an overdriven soundtrack for powering through dark days, and a sweaty summer anthem that should be played LOUDLY. Recorded by Seth Manchester, Guitar Module 2017 was performed by Friel himself using an open tuned Hagstrom guitar, an Akai MPC500 sequencer, his trusty Yamaha Portasound keyboard, and an array of pedals. The album’s distorted keys and drum programming are driven by its visceral guitar lines; together, the instruments are the molten bedrock for Friel’s soaring vocals.

The resulting songs are anthems for catharsis and escape. References to space appear throughout, from found sound samples of satellites falling from orbit on “Reentry Breakup Recorder” to their breakup into the sea at the end of the track. The darkness of “UFO” describing the oceanic pole of inaccessibility (the farthest point from land, site of the international spacecraft cemetery where discarded satellites and space stations get dropped into the ocean) is contrasted by “Black Holes,” a wry flip of the “we are all made of stars” Moby/Carl Sagan thing. In it, Friel urges us to resist seeing the worst in everything. “Let’s Build A Moon” riffs a Swell Maps song title and turns dark urban realities, let’s plan an escape route, into good fun. Upper Wilds cleverly turns expectation on its head, finding humor in apocalyptic scenarios or in the bubble dweller delusions (“Chainsaw”). Clever reference points, distortion and tension, and an utter allegiance to the pop song create a singular world covered in craggy space debris and ultraviolet melodies.

CRISTOBAL AND THE SEA EXITOCA RELEASE DATE: 09/22/2017 Exitoca is a trip into an alternative reality where humans care for each other and the environment, value sensual experiences and dance their troubles away. The title is a reference to the genre known as “Exotica,” which represented the escapist dreams of a generation of American salary-men and housewives in the 1950s and 60s. For Cristobal and the Sea, expatriates from Portugal, Spain, France, Egypt and the USA now based in London, the idea of “Exotica” is more than just an escapist plot to avoid workaday drollery; it is a proposed evacuation from the toxic mires of Brexit; the very notion that threatens the place they now call home.

This philosophy is best narrated between the words and music of ‘Goat Flokk’ where longing, searching lyrics are mixed with both Brazilian Tropicalia-like speed and rhythm with a healthy Syrianpop breakdown. The fusion of sounds and styles proves that harmony is very much possible when cultures are mixed.

Recorded and produced in a self-made studio on the outskirts of Paris with upcoming London-based producer and artist Yehan Jehan, the lush surroundings, combined with Jehan’s creative impetus, offered Cristobal a greater richness to their recording process.

The ecstatic quality of the band, whose personal manifesto calls for warmth, nakedness and polygamy (as opposed to the cold and sexless Brexit reality), is on display in ‘The Seed.’ This track brings images of lolling natural bodies, flesh and excitement, again with the production and arrangements in full force. Play it loud during your next late night foray with your best friends and you'll see what they mean.

Cristobal and the Sea's Balearic roots are inseparable from their essence. The bossa anthem ‘Uma Voz’ is a reach out to everyone in their situation, a passionate and all-encompassing hand to everyone facing the same nationless situation.

Band Of Holy Joy - The Clouds That Break The Sky Tiny Global Productions / 3CD / PICI0006B / 608766982396 / $24.99

These early releases make a case for BOHJ as the last fully original and inspired post-punk combo. In the C86 period, with its half-hearted Postcard copyists, uninspired Buzzcocks wannabes and ‘zany’ Beefheart types, BOHJ sounded unique. Yet during those days, BOHJ’s depth, socio-political lyricism and portraiture of tragic human existence just made them pariahs. “The Clouds That Break The Sky” gathers up all of the early releases issued on records bearing Band Of Holy Joy’s name alone. The 41 tracks presented here originate from two albums, four Eps and singles, plus four unreleased alternate studio versions. These recordings and the band’s live performances led to a deal with Rough Trade.

These recordings do not fall into easy categories - there’s a touch of the odd humanism of early Virgin Prunes, the bile and humour of early Microdisney, a touch of Vic Godard’s wit and wink, even prerock romanticism . . . but Band Of Holy Joy stand alone. This box is a limited edition of 400.

Look no further than the Hendrix cover, Voodoo Child for a way into their world. The familiar reinvented and taken to a parallel world. Born out of a love of improvised music which was accessible (funky beats and grooves) yet experimental enough to break the mould of middle-of-the-road jamming, the trio built up a following at a residency at the monthly Sartorial Records music nights. The NJE perform music intuitively, with an ear to accessible beats & tonality with Edwards’ melodic flights of fancy dancing over the top. Afloat came about after several recording sessions, both in concert and in the studio, and completed by the band using harsh editing techniques overseen by Hot Chip frontman Alexis Taylor at the mixdown stage. The album’s seven tracks are complimented by the addition of four previously released download/vinyl tracks! Mainstays of the NJE sound are Edwards’ double-sax technique - playing alto & tenor simultaneously, Charterton’s polyrhythmic funk patterns and Bedford’s fluid but grounding basslines. The whole is a near-jazz experience…

If “mission creep” refers to a long-haul fatigue cited with increasingly regularity in the present political moment, David Grubbs imagines “creep mission” to be a talismanic utterance in the effort to turn this ship around.

Creep Mission is an album of instrumental compositions with Grubbs’s effortlessly recombinant electric guitar at its core, and its m.o. is to go both deep and wide. The album goes deep in the sense that the guitar becomes the relentless, meditative focus of these songs without words, and it goes wide in that these pieces utilize a discontinuous set of arrangements that make the most out of an extraordinary group of musicians convened for the mission at hand.

Drummer and most simpatico sparring partner Eli Keszler picks up where his brilliant contributions to Grubbs’s 2016 Prismrose left off; trumpeter Nate Wooley defies you to identify his range of sounds as coming from a single player; and Jan St. Werner (Mouse on Mars, Lithops) can hardly contain his joy in transforming the proceedings into electro-prismatic splinters. For his part, Grubbs’s guitar playing has never before so confidently mangled commonsensical distinctions between composed and improvised music.

The album’s opener, “Slylight,” wends its way through a sequence of instrumental combinations in a manner redolent of Gastr del Sol’s Camoufleur. Before the album has concluded with the melancholy country raga of “The C in Certain,” waystations between have assumed the character of sludge-rock power trio (“Creep Mission,” “Return of the Creep”), pointillistic electroacoustic improv (“Jeremiadaic”), and bejeweled nylon-string guitar miniatures (“The Bonapartes of Baltimore,” “Jack Dracula in a Bar”).

David Grubbs’s solo albums often have a “the band has left the building” quality of dramatic left turns in the final act; on Creep Mission, peripatetic playing is basic strategy.

GENRE : ALTERNATIVE / ROCK FILE UNDER: “T” Tortoise “P” Paynter, Andrew RELEASE DATE : September 22, 2017 NO EXPORT (JAPAN, S. AMERICA OK) TRACK LISTING:

Photographer Andrew Paynter on the project : This book came about from the long term relationship I’ve had with both this band and their label, Thrill Jockey. I first came to meet some of the members through mutual friend, Tommy Guerrero. Over the years I started to contribute occasionally as a creative collaborator. The band used several of my photographs for their ‘Lazarus Taxon’ packaging. Then, in 2010 they commissioned me to both direct a music video from ‘Beacons of Ancestorship’ and to also art direct & contribute images from my ‘SF Lines’ work. The band also used other images for additional 12 inch records and then seven years went by. I did think often about the idea of going on the road with them, but was patiently awaiting a return to the stage, as they took a long break between records. So the idea to do something long form became a reality. Once it was set, I organized to jump on the road with the band to cover the entire West Coast of North America and with an addition of a trip to Arcosanti, Arizona. I brought three cameras, Leica M6, Hasselblad X-Pan and a Pentax 67. I only shot b&w film and I kept my ideas simple and did my best to not force situations, but to simply capture them from the perspective of an insider.

My craving to shoot from the hip in a reportage fashion was finally fulfilled on this 10 day project. I’m proud to say, this is my very first book.

Tortoise’s Douglas McCombs on touring and the live experience: Twenty five years ago in the early days of Tortoise there was a perception that we were a recording project. This perception was probably exacerbated by the fact that we barely played any live shows in the first three years. The reality is that we were slow in getting our band up and running due to a variety of logistical circumstances, internal and external.

Performing live was always a priority and a prime motivator in forming the band in the first place. By the time opportunities arose for us to tour in a self sustaining manner we couldn’t have been happier. This is what we wanted to do, and thankfully the audience showed up.

Presenting our slightly unconventional material was occasionally a challenge.

We had to lug around more equipment than your average band and often had to deal with temperamental synthesizers and samplers that would fail at inopportune moments. Still, it was exciting and very rewarding.

These days a band at our level makes most of our living by playing live shows.

It’s no secret that record sales are substantially lower than they used to be. At the same time we are all maintaining families that we didn’t have twenty years ago which makes organizing a tour exponentially more difficult. Still, every time we step on a stage we are trying to invest ourselves in the performance as much as possible so that we can give the audience a unique experience. We want you to know that we consider it a privilege to play our music for you.

While the Chicagobased instrumental quintet has nodded to dub, rock, jazz, electronica and minimalism throughout its revered and influential seven-album discography, the resulting sounds have always been distinctly, even stubbornly, their own.

“Chicago’s Tortoise is a genre unto itself: cited as a progenitor of post-rock, and clearly indebted to its home town’s history of improvisers and fusionists, Tortoise is an American underground institution.”

Matthewdavid’s Mindflight ‘Ophiucus’ Cassette/Digital NNA has long respected and admired the work of Matthew McQueen, aka Matthewdavid. Whether through his solo music, his work with forward-thinking radio, or his own eclectic label Leaving Records, McQueen has always shown the utmost dedication and passion for his creative outputs. In the midst of the year 2017, we’re honored to collaborate with Matthewdavid’s Mindflight on his latest release ‘Ophiucus.’ As a purveyor of Modern New Age, Matthewdavid’s work represents a full-circle return to NNA’s roots and influences in new age music, and nearly a decade later we are happy to continue to give this music a home.

Throughout his musical career, Matthewdavid has been fearless in taking risks and stepping into new territory in an ego-less fashion. In addition to his own diverse output, his impeccable curation and “all genre” philosophy with Leaving Records is also indicative of an openness to a wide range of styles and influences. In recent years, Matthewdavid’s work has shifted away from it’s roots in hip-hop, electronic beats, future funk and R&B, and moved toward a more pure vision of Modern New Age with his Mindflight releases and collaborations. This work has been further reinforced by his excursions into experimental radio with his “Mindflight Meditations” show on the online radio platform Dublab, where he creates improvisational meditative soundscapes both solo and with guest collaborators. In this regard, what separates Matthewdavid from other electronic musicians is his dedication to the New Age not just in sound, but in lifestyle. He strives to provide a spiritual context for his music, whether its an offering to ancient astrological wisdom, the sacred nature of friendship, or providing a vehicle for one’s development of a cosmic consciousness.

Release Date: September 22nd, 2017 Tracklist:

1. Ophiucus * 2. Geddes (*Singles & Suggested tracks) File Under: Ambient / Experimental / New Age Label: NNA Tapes Catalog #: NNA102 SRP: Cassette - $8.99 USD UPC: Cassette - 634457794641 Formats: Cassette, Digital

Though his style has varied throughout the years, Matthewdavid consciously maintains a signature sound palette, a trait which lends to a cohesiveness across his entire discography. Instead of eschewing his stylistic roots, he embraces and integrates them fluidly into his current work, thus preserving the signature Matthewdavid sound. On ‘Ophiucus,’ he presents two long-form compositions that vary in inspiration, but maintain consistent moods throughout. The title track ‘Ophiucus’ focuses its energy on the 13th Zodiac as a deep protector and gatekeeper of cosmic knowledge. The second track, “Geddes,” is a dedication to friend and fellow LA musician M. Geddes Gengras.

While both tracks have distinct personalities, the sounds within them retain an extended serenity. They are each dense and full of cascading textures that create a naturally shifting ebb and flow, giving them a lunar or tidal flavor that synchronizes with our own biological rhythms. A vast field of dynamics encompasses the work, with high end particles scattering themselves throughout a sweeping, expansive field of low end undulations. This emphasis on texture as a tool to stimulate the ears and brain separates Matthewdavid’s work from other ambient musicians who often favor melody over texture. The music of Matthewdavid’s Mindflight encourages active listening for one to achieve elevated consciousness, as opposed to it being merely background music. To be present in it’s sound means fully embracing the possibilities of music to transcend and heal, to generate love, and to unite people through explorations into a universal environment of peace.

“His texture-heavy style takes the already blunted traits of West Coast instrumental hip-hop (blown-out beats, woozy atmospherics) and jumbles them up even further to build something uniquely psychedelic.”

–Pitchfork “within that thicket of texture and uplifting mood is the detailed work of a careful producer with a purpose.”

–Resident Advisor “an endless and dense environment of sweet soundscapes, baked to warm tape perfection.”

Patrick Higgins & Josh Modney ‘EVRLY MVSIC’ Cassette/Digital We’re very proud to have the innovative composer and performer Patrick Higgins return to NNA Tapes, this time in a duo format with acclaimed violinist Josh Modney. On 2015’s ‘Social Death Mixtape,’ we witnessed Higgins’ talents as a composer, creating intricate electroacoustic compositions with a variety of performers. On ‘EVRLY MVSIC’ however, we hear Higgins as a skilled performer on his primary instrument, the guitar. Josh Modney comes from a similar background, having established himself as a prominent figure in New York City’s New Music circuit, with work ranging from the chamber music group International Contemporary Ensemble, to composer-performer collective Wet Ink Ensemble. Having shared the stage together for the past 5 years both as improvisers and as chamber musicians, the foundation of ’EVRLY MVSIC’ is built on a long term musical connection between Modney and Higgins, a bond that is made evident throughout these recordings.

Tracklist:

On ‘EVRLY MVSIC,’ the two performers have taken the concept of “Early Music” as a stimulus to inspire performances of acoustic improvisation that aim at a compositional tightness, creating a musical framework based more around the feeling, rather than the sound, of Medieval struggle. Tightly coiled around highly virtuosic and austere interactions, Higgins and Modney harness the essence of Early Music both in sentiment as well as gesture, using guitar and violin in unorthodox ways that sometimes recall the sounds of early stringed instruments such as the oud and viol. Each instrument inherently carries the capacity for both classical beauty and textural violence, both of which are employed with tasteful skill and execution. Improvisation in this project is neither free nor, strictly speaking, structured. Instead, it is aimed at an emergent form in the instant, looking toward song structure in the most novel and ancient sense. Noise and extended technique are used to create a lyrical aching quality, while melody is used to create unsettling noise.

File Under: Experimental / Electroacoustic / Improvisation Label: NNA Tapes Catalog #: NNA103 SRP: Cassette - $8.99 USD UPC: Cassette - 634457794740 Formats: Cassette, Digital

Throughout the album, EVRLY MVSIC displays a linear progression of material, building over the course of three “Partitas.” The first two utilize an arcane, sparse musical language of plucked sounds strangely reminiscent of Renaissance lute music, advancing to a lushly harmonized set of microtonal, cantabile pieces that explore the full expressive range of violin and acoustic guitar. What furthermore adds to the uniqueness of this album, however, is the third Partita, which introduces electric guitar and real-time electronic processing on both instruments to culminate in an expansive, relentlessly energetic display of refreshing new sounds. The original acoustic palette of guitar and violin is retained, but vastly expanded upon, injecting a dense, unpredictable modern edge into the archaic atmosphere. ‘EVRLY MVSIC’ presents an incredibly original fusion between ancient European musical history and distinctly American experimentalism, hinged on the nexus between improvisation and chamber music, and fueled by a deeply personal musical alliance.

HAUSU MOUNTAIN

Doug & Max HausuMountain @gmail.com 847-220-1755

Nelson Bean’s work under the name Black Hat bridges the gap between kinetic beat music and mesmeric ambient texture.

His take on modern electronic composition finds room for high definition synth programming, swathes of fine-grain drift, and layered percussion lines that evolve into webs of head-bobbing polyrhythm.

Impossible World, Black Hat’s second release with Hausu Mountain after 2014’s Thought of Two LP, catches up from where his practice left off, broadening his sound over the course of a 70 minute program stuffed with dense sketches and extended cinematic set pieces. Bean’s synths ping, drift, or slither across the stereo spread, melting together or juxtaposing against one another as bubbling digital granules and smeared music box whirls. His melodies and arrangements paint detailed emotional narratives, with conflicts and resolutions embodied in sudden shifts in harmony and contrasting tonalities that drape over each other. Black Hat channels the hallucinogenic sound design of Coil, the slow-burning arrangements and utopian/dystopian atmospheres of Drexciya, and a scientist’s approach to tonal manipulation and Artist: Black Hat synthetic instrumentation in the vein of Aphex Twin Album: Impossible World or Autechre.

by HausMo Max.

+ World War is Davey Harms from Providence, RI who has also released music as Mincemeat or Tenspeed and under his given name. + Harms has shared the stage with Dan Deacon, Future Islands, clipping., Oneohtrix Point Never, Container, Dan Friel, Lucky Dragons, and Gobby “a psychedelic pound that sounds as much like noise, metal, and rock as it does dance” - Pitchfork

“disposed to blown-out sounds and pulverizing beats... packed with discreet rhythmic and timbrel shifts, creating deliberate sonic adventures that peak at moments of savage unrest, and ease into episodes of claustrophobic anxiety.” - Ad Hoc “R2D2 dancing while experiencing gastrointestinal distress” - Splice Today

His music fuses the insistent pulse and rigid grid layouts of techno with the abrasive skronk and inventive tonal sculpting characteristic of the noise circuit of his home base in Providence, RI. Soundsystem, his first album for Hausu Mountain as World War (after 2016’s Cables tape under his given name, and a stint as Mincemeat or Tenspeed), pushes his already overloaded practice to new peaks of dense arrangement and bodyanimating cyborg groove. While Harms lays out his tracks with components typical to classic techno, barreling through polyrhythmic kick drum configurations and evolving bass lines, the tones he chooses to highlight continually defy expectations. Massive squelching noise formants swirl through the 4/4 stomp before striking on the beat with a crisp, percussion-like attack, and other electronic voices sizzle and roar with a synthetic weight that evokes crunchy metal guitar work.

Along with contemporaries like Container and Shit and Shine, World War carves out a corner of the technoid underground focused on stuttering alien rhythms, distorted percussion, and fine-grain texture. The rapidly evolving drum patterns on display on Soundsystem bubble with activity and variation, reaching some bizarre middle ground between heavily swung two-step beat music and thick gabber beatdowns - all conjured from Harms’s tiny rig centered around the Roland MC808 sampler/drum machine. World War balances the potential aggression of his heavy jams with a sense of play, conveyed in his predilection for wonky lead melodies cast off in preset-like horn tones and clipped, insectile peals of static. His jams thrive on unexpected segues and uproarious introductions of new elements to the mix. He programs his machines past their breaking point, and we watch his brain pour out at our feet.
