NAIL WELCOMES circadia records

pg 17

Circadia Records is genre-agnostic, not into the idea of simply releasing albums by bands that fit some kind of predefined, marketable category. There are already plenty of labels that do that. Circadia releases albums you can kick back on the couch with and listen to every track, start to finish. An album is a complete thought; it’s the whole package; it’s studying the liner notes, ogling the artwork, and getting lost in the mix. It’s caring about the details. Circadia Records comes to NAIL via Cockroach Media.

Overview

The blues has grown up a lot in the last ten years, since guitarist Andrew Burnes left New York for Georgia, bringing a de facto end to the powerful abstract blues of Haunted House. In the time since, a new generation—sometimes referred to as Freak Folk or New Weird America and spearheaded

by Tom Carter, Jack Rose, and Ben Chasny—has followed in the footsteps of Loren Connors, John Fahey, and a handful of others who have long maintained that the blues is something more than 12 bars and a backbeat.

Press Quotes

“[Connors] is an American original in much the same sense as John Fahey or Jandek, in that he’s chosen a classically American form, in this case the blues, and in true pioneer spirit taken it off somewhere else, crossed it with other forms … and shaped it into a uniquely individual vision of the modern American myth.” — The Wire “Connors isn’t a cult hero for no reason. His music is awe-inspiring. … a one-person gentle tornado, Connors can get deep into human feelings with a single guitar.” — PopMatters

STREET DATE SEPTEMBER 13, 2011

After the demise of Haunted House Connors continued preaching the gospel, often with his wife Suzanne Langille, playing a slow, distorted, reverb-drenched blues as the world slowly began to come around. Then, in the Summer 2010, the stars aligned just so: Andrew Burnes was in town for a few days, percussionist Neel Murgai was available, and Brooklyn’s Issue Project Room was booking matinee concerts in their courtyard. The band had only existed for a brief two years and had been absent for a decade, but they picked up right where they left off with only a brief soundcheck as rehearsal. Another matter of months, and they were in the studio, recording this follow-up to their 1999 Erstwhile release Up In Flames.

Overview

Catbirds & Cardinals is the latest psychedelic album from Dan Melchior und das Menace. Since the late ’90s, England native Dan Melchior has consistently delivered avant-pop that is off-kilter and literate, with a sense of menace and a stronger sense of play. He’s a new Jesus of Cool, riding about the underground like the antipodean Chris Knox.

The sound of Catbirds & Cardinals is clean, lo-fi, deeply engaging, and guaranteed to pull in new legions of fans. It’s a clever garage-pop set that will lick your plate clean.

To the uninitiated, Dubioza Kolektiv is a band from Bosnia known for its fresh take on hip-hop mixed with reggae, dub, rock, and Bosnian folklore. Those more familiar with the name know them as a killer live band and notorious leaders in the fight for social change. With musical skills forged during the siege of Sarajevo, these guys know more than anyone how to use music as a weapon against the forces of negativity. If you’re looking for macho, money-and-ego driven posturing, you won’t find it here—no MTV “rude boy” gangstas, no strippers or bling, no brands or corporate endorsements from the international fashion industry. Rather, Dubioza Kolektiv takes on traditional musical forms with a unique perspective, shaped by a war and delivered with a level of positivity that hits you like a blast of fresh air. If you are open to the experience, it could change your life.

Selling Points

• Second solo album from Kathryn Calder (New Pornographers, Immaculate Machine).

• Promotion by Daniel Gill, Force Field PR. • RIYL: New Pornographers, Immaculate Machine, Feist, Ingrid Michaelson, Kristin Hersh.

Overview

Life is full of surprises, and nobody knows this better than Kathryn Calder. After years of performing with indie darlings Immaculate Machine, she found herself unexpectedly asked to record and tour with The New Pornographers and was almost immediately inducted as a full-fledged member of that group.

In 2010 she released her first solo album, Are You My Mother?, which garnered glowing reviews and foreshadowed the vast array of sonic experimentation the songwriter was capable of exploring.

Now, just one year after the release of her debut (which was dedicated to the memory of her late mother), Calder has returned with another full-length record. Written and recorded in a relatively short amount of time, the appropriately titled Bright and Vivid is a masterfully refined piece of work that illustrates a maturation that can only come from intense growth and change.

Backed by a newly minted band consisting of Lane Arndt, Stefan Bozenich, and Marek Tyler, Kathryn also worked with friends & fans including Jon Wurster (Superchunk, Mountain Goats), Dean Tzenos (Odonis Odonis), Barry Mirochnick & Paul Rigby (Neko Case), Jesse Zubot, and Ford Pier.

“Always intriguing … There is still levity in her voice—a crisp, bright alto that’s reminiscent of Jenny Lewis—but it has far less bounce and naivety here.” — Pitchfork “Alluring sparkle and lilt … Members of The New Pornographers, Ladyhawke, and Frog Eyes chip in, but Calder’s confident voice and commanding presence anchors it all.” — Paste

Blending breathtaking three-part harmonies, reverb-laden guitars, and a songbook written in both English and Spanish, six-foot songstress Luzelena Mendoza’s lead vocals drive this album’s warm analog sound that’s been destined for wax.

Overview

This two-CD set showcases a different side of Erik Wøllo’s sound, exploring fascinating electronic/ambient landscapes with slow-motion structures, surreal soundscapes, and floating currents. Drawn from two separate live radio broadcasts, these 104 minutes of music traverse a more ambient, atmospheric, and textural side than experienced on his studio albums. With more focus on deep drones than on melody and rhythm, zones drift and morph, organically flowing into each other.

Hypnotizing rhythms, ritualistic hooks, and lyrical content exploring the darkest corners of the human psyche all blend seamlessly into the singular, demonic vision that is Séance. God Module mastermind Jasyn Bangert is once again joined by Courtney Bangert as well as new member Clint Carney (System Syn, Imperative Reaction). Séance has opened a doorway to something dark and evil.

“So, let’s dance, as if we’re dead…”

Sweden’s LOWE returns with the highly anticipated Evolver. LOWE’s music can be described as “pop noir,” a melancholic and melodic form of electronic pop music. Their previous two albums, Tenant and Kino International, both received critical acclaim as “Album of the Month” from American, German, Swedish, and Italian press. Now, Evolver is poised to reach the same plateau.

The second chapter of the trilogy A Triptychon of Ghosts is beautiful, dark, and sad—but there are no words to adequately describe the enchanted music of Sopor Aeternus’ new release. Those familiar with Anna-Varney Cantodea’s art know that s/he (literally) plays in her own league. The work is like the forgotten soundtrack to a fantastic gothic horror film that was never meant for human audiences … and this album is certainly no exception. Building a bridge from dark chamber music to playful frivolity, this highly anticipated second chapter in the trilogy marvelously captures the true essence of what used to be called “goth.” This is definitely the best album s/he has created so far!

Overview

After six records, 20 nationwide tours, and tens of thousands of records sold, The Scarred has become less a band and more an urban legend. Having embarked on sold-out tours with bands such as Cheap Sex, Cocksparrer, Street Dogs, and Skeptix, they have are a force to be reckoned with. Live Fast, Die Poor reflects growth, maturity, and a refined sound. The record is a slight departure from the Punkcore Records era, with a more straightforward punk sound that disables any attempt to solidify them into a strict genre.

Overview

One of the best selling and most revered albums in the street punk genre! Until We Die was originally released in 2000, and quickly went out of print the next year. In 2003, after obtaining master rights back, Mark Unseens’ label A.D.D Records did a repressing that went out of print in a matter of months. Today, the album is next to impossible to find, regularly fetching over $100 on eBay. The vinyl format has been meticulously re-mastered and cut at 45rpm on limited 200-gram and 180-gram vinyl, and comes with a full-color poster foldout.

Featuring John Dietrich and Ed Rodriguez of Deerhoof, as well as drummer Ches Smith (Marc Ribot’s Ceramic Dog, Secret Chiefs 3) and guitarist Steve Touchton (XBXRX, KIT), SWAPS have the indie supergroup noisefest market cornered. The album is comprised of a “solos” side (“Pair Bonds”) and an “improv” side (“Aether Defects”), both of which are woven together with a stream-of-consciousness feel. No vocals are present, and you can stop reading right now if you are looking for “hooks.” The erratic rhythms, tonality, and structure of these arrangements will please fans of music fringes and truly adventurous works of art.

Overview

Throughout the last 15 years, this enigmatic trio has fostered a near-mythical cult status with their moody, ethereal blend of indie pop.

Now available on vinyl for the first time, 2009’s Tea Tornado finds Marmoset at their most energetic, revelatory, and sensational—with a stripped-down, punchy sound that recalls their earliest work, 1995’s Hiddenforbidden, or even 1999’s Today It’s You.

Press Quotes

“I hear Swell Maps, Wire, Pavement, and Sebadoh echoes here; but most of all I hear a band finally finding its own identity.”

— The Big Takeover “Indie rock heavily influenced by the likes of early Creation records, Syd Barrett, and Swell Maps while being filtered through some sort of off-kilter David Lynch sensibility.” — Brooklyn Vegan

After touring the country relentlessly for five years, the singer of a Pennsylvania hardcore band decided to stop everything, lock himself in his basement, and turn a new page. Armed with a four-track and a lifelong obsession with Neil Young, Black Flag, and (of course) Sabbath, he re-emerged two days later with the blueprint of what would become Backwoods Payback. In Fall 2011, the band will release its first full-length for Small Stone and hit the road with the machine behind them for the first time in their lives. These Backwoods folks aren’t forming an army; they’re building a family, all the while staying true to their motto … drop out to live.

A generation after Iggy & The Stooges first laid waste to America’s youth, a new crop of disenfranchised garage bands have made a stand about 4,100 miles east of Detroit—Stockholm, Sweden is the epicenter for bands like The Hellacopters, Backyard Babies, and The Hives. Like their countrymen, the Sonic Negroes cut a path of destruction that crossed Europe, the Atlantic, and now hits the US. Their second full-length release is a seedy excursion down the back alleys of Swedish garage punk, so look for the Negroes to burn up the East Coast this fall with another round of US shows.

OVERVIEW

Atlantic Drone’s music holds all of the sensations associated with true psychedelia—the meditative hypnotics of prog forefathers Can, the kinetic energy of early King Crimson, the soaring intensity of Soft Machine, the swirling throbs of early Butthole Surfers, the natural beauty of Brian Eno’s ambiance, and the schizophrenic scuttle of Captain Beefheart’s Magic Band. Far from creating a nostalgic tribute to a previous age, Atlantic Drone is a redefinition of the sonic trip, creating a sound that is both exhilarating and Zen.

Oblique I is the highly anticipated new release from drummer Tyshawn Sorey, delivering what his fans have long been seeking: an album that combines his virtuosic playing with his compositional mastery.

On each of his two prior releases as a leader, he has almost willfully played down his drumming.

Heavily influenced by composer Morton Feldman, Sorey often lays out or plays in only the most minimalist fashion. Oblique I is a completely different story. Made up of ten pieces chosen from a collection he calls “41 Compositions,” the CD shows off his dynamic playing in a creatively varied program that features musicians with whom he has collaborated for years—guitarist Todd Neufeld, alto saxophonist Loren Stillman, keyboardist John Escreet, and bassist Chris Tordini.

Press Quotes

“Ever since their inception … Lords of Acid have staked their claim in the techno/dance/rock world by bringing a deliberate, campy hedonism to beat-hungry partiers. Almost 15 years later, the Lords are something of a cult band of international standing.” — PopMatters

“When it comes to bawdy, S&M-fueled rave albums, Lords of Acid’s Lust is a classic. Coming across like a twisted mix of Front 242 and the Timelords, Lords of Acid hit all the right notes on this debut album that entertains, shocks, and energizes listeners both on and off the dancefloor.”

Overview

British composer-guitarist James Blackshaw returns with this limited edition 12” EP. The two intimate and introspective pieces collected here were written and recorded during the first three months of 2011, after an intense year of touring and the release of eighth album All Is Falling. In many ways, these songs more closely resemble his earlier work, with swirling, cyclical acoustic 12-string and nylon string guitar alongside some beautifully restrained clarinet, saxophone, flute, and violin contributed by Charlotte Glasson.

Overview

Tender Loving Empire’s newest musical Ozzy & Harriet! The newly minted Radiation City finds lovebirds Cameron Spies and Lizzy Ellison (founders of burgeoning PDX cassette label Apes Tapes) conjuring echo-laden guitar tones, warbling Wurlitzer, and sparse heart-throbbing drums to create a layered, ethereal, and catchy-as-hell record full of slow-burning bangers and unforgettable jams that will appeal to a wide range of sensibilities.

Press Quotes

“One of Portland’s more polished and promising young acts … that don’t care much for the longstanding walls between slow acoustic pop, dance music, experimental electronic music, and distortion-fueled rock.” — Willamette Week “Sounds like the Velvet Underground playing lounge and bossa nova.” — Oregon Live “It’s a bit of an unfortunate name choice given Mother Nature’s behavior over the past month, but give the music of Radiation City a chance and your fears will be put to rest. The only thing that glows here is a sunshiney nostalgia.” — EW blog

Overview

Philadelphia’s Satanized was made flesh with their first live performance on the day of our Lord 06.06.06. Renowned for delivering highly intense, aberrantly convoluted, and theatrically bizarre live performances, the band has steadily conjured scathing frequencies and heavy rhythms that have left listeners trembling, pummeled, and sliced. Authors at a loss for words have described the band’s forbidden fruit as “forward-looking avant metal (?)” that simultaneously harkens back to the heavy mindfuck throb of the Jesus Lizard and the disjunctive “outside the groove” damage inflicted by Colossamite. Following a split 7” with AIDS Wolf and extensive touring, Satanized makes their full length SKiN GRAFT Records debut with Technical Virginity.

Imagine Yoshida Tatsuya’s drum and bass punk-prog-metal duo RUINS, preaching the one true interplanetary gospel—an overcharged jazz fusion opera emboldened by reeds, keyboards, and a soaring frontwoman speaking in somersaulting tongues.

That still doesn’t come close. Live at Koenji High is a live document of a band that is indescribable, performing at home fresh off their European tour with new members AH on vocals and Yabuki Taku on keyboards. Filmed with multiple cameras and excellent sound, Live at Koenji High is bare bones—no interview clips, no special features, just Koenjihyakkei live on stage.

• Features members of Male Bonding, Comanechi, and The Big Pink.

• First vinyl pressing comes complete with offset photo album sleeve.

Overview

In the band PRE, you’ve got two super-bouncy bass guitars, plenty of punk speed, and yelped lyrics that sound like a looser version of Melt-Banana’s Yasuko. This music is definitely more about physicality than it is about intellectualism.

It’s been nearly two years since the release of PRE’s second album, Hope Freaks. Since then, the boys have continued to play hooky with their band Male Bonding over at Sub Pop, while vocalist Exceedingly Good Keex has kept busy with her band Comanechi and a multitude of extracurricular activities including a stint in 4AD’s Big Pink and a collaboration with Richard Kern. Fans of London’s no-wave titans had begun to fear that they’d heard the last of PRE … but this September, all fears can be put to rest as the band unleashes their long-rumored but previously unconfirmed third album.

Renowned for their concise, rapid-fire, sugar-high approach to songwriting, PRE returns with five songs and their first-ever vinyl seven-inch. In addition to these five new songs, the band has assembled eight additional rare & unreleased tracks for a special extended edition CD.

This non-stop action thriller takes the viewer on an adrenaline-filled journey through the darkest underbelly of London’s gangland culture. Jack is leading a double life. As an undercover cop infiltrating a notorious gang of criminals, he’s walking through the shadows of no man’s land. His task is to bring down The Boss, but there are a few things he didn’t see coming—like his friendship with gang member Nathan blurring the line between ally and enemy. Or that Nathan’s beautiful sister would turn his life upside down. Or that The Boss’s psychotic daughter Natalie would have a dangerous agenda of her own. And suddenly, Jack finds himself in the midst of a perilous and volatile situation that threatens to explode into disaster at any moment.
