Kasey Carpenter (R-Dalton). “An educated workforce is going to be paramount as we move through the 21st century. We’ve got these kids we’ve already invested in. It’s a no-brainer, but no-brainer does not always equal law.” Under DACA, people who were brought to the U.S. as children can live and work in the country without being deported, provided they keep a clean criminal record. As of 2020, there were just under 21,000 DACA recipients in Georgia, according to United States Citizenship and Immigration Services.

qualified applicants in the two most recent academic years, which would rule out the state’s most competitive colleges, including the University of Georgia and Georgia Tech. Still, FWD.us estimates the bill would immediately benefit 15,000 students. Jaime Rangel, a Dalton resident who works for FWD.us, urged the House Study Committee on Innovative Ways to Maximize Global Talent to consider the plan at the committee’s Oct. 21 meeting. “Twenty-one states have already extended in-state tuition across the country, Texas’ legislation, and Florida’s, is actually more open than the proposed legislation that Rep. Carpenter has,” he said. “It’s both a Republican and Democratic issue, an issue that lawmakers have come together to solve.” Carpenter is hoping lawmakers in Georgia will come together this winter to move his bill forward, though he acknowledges that’s not a sure thing, especially in a pivotal election year, when his fellow Republicans may feel more inclined to play to the party’s base with legislation focused on conservative cultural issues. “In an election year, politics is always a little bit wonky, no doubt about it,” he said. “I have a feeling it’s going to be an interesting year.” But Carpenter said he feels pretty good about the bill’s chances. Businesses are looking to hire qualified workers, he said, and enrollment is down at several Georgia colleges. While the University System of Georgia expanded its enrollment by 2.4% overall between fall 2019 and fall 2020, the system’s nine state colleges saw their enrollment drop by an average of 7% during that time, both facts that could make the bill an easier sell to budget-minded conservatives, Carpenter said. “If you spend money today to educate people, the state gets their money back in the form of higher taxes later on,” he said. “It’s bread and butter Republican politics, invest a little bit for a better return down the road. “I’m always optimistic, man,” he added. “I feel like, until day 40, I got a shot. So I feel pretty good about it. It’s good policy. And I think the more we educate people on it, let’s talk about things we can control as a state, let the feds not control what they don’t control. We don’t have to solve federal issues, but what we can do is make the best of the hand we’re provided as a state, and that’s what this law tries to do.” f This story originally appeared in the Georgia Recorder.

NEW PROGRAM PROVIDES MORE INFORMATION FOR RAPE SURVIVORS

ADVICE FOR ATHENS’ LOOSE AND LOVELORN

By Violet Calkin news@flagpole.com

By Bonita Applebum advice@flagpole.com

nformation is power for survivors of sexual assault. Thanks to a new pilot program to electronically track rape kits, those accessing the services of the Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners of Athens-Clarke County will be more knowledgeable about the status of their case. Rape kits are essential if a survivor chooses to pursue a criminal investigation. SANE provides free forensic medical exams to survivors in 11 surrounding counties and tailors their examinations to fit the needs of the survivor, whether that be taking DNA samples from a recent assault or identifying evidence of trauma from past abuse. In collaboration with local law enforcement, SANE also assists survivors in navigating routes of criminal investigation and evidence processing.

kits. Unanimously passed and signed into law by Gov. Brian Kemp in May, House Bill 255, or the Sexual Assault Reform Act of 2021, assigned the Georgia Criminal Justice Coordinating Council (CJCC) the task of developing the system with grant funding. Dickens serves on the State Sexual Assault Expert Committee. The committee worked closely with CJCC to design the tracking program. Because of its involvement with the legislation and status as the only provider of forensic medical exams in the area, SANE was chosen as the collection site, but all partners offer crucial assistance. “This project is not us in a vacuum. Our partners that we work with were all selected to be a part of this pilot,” Dickens says. “Those agencies also play an important role in this project as well. Because the Cottage

Launched Sept. 14, SANE’s pilot is in partnership with the Athens-Clarke County Police Department, University of Georgia Police Department, Oconee County Sheriff’s Office and The Cottage, a nonprofit for those affected by sexual assault and child abuse. The tracking process begins when a kit is registered into an online portal by the producing company. Accessible to SANE and its partners, as well as the survivors themselves, the portal is updated as SANE nurses, law enforcement officials, and others scan the kit’s barcode as it moves through evidence processing. “It gives the ability for a survivor to see when their kit changes from our agency, when it changes from law enforcement to the crime lab and if the crime lab has tested it. You can also show if it was retained by an agency, so it helps them know exactly where it is, at any point in the process,” SANE Executive Director Michelle Dickens says. “The idea is to reduce a backlog and give the information back to the survivor so that they can follow their evidence.” Along with many other states, Georgia has suffered a significant backlog of rape kits. In 2016, 3,500 kits were waiting to be tested by the time it was first addressed by legislation that March. The sexual assault kit tracking initiative is the most recent effort by Georgia lawmakers to prevent another accumulation of unprocessed rape

provides some of those advocacy services, they’re assisting survivors and helping them be able to track if they have any trouble with the system.” The SANE pilot is expected to run through this November. The goal, Dickens says, is to have all required agencies registered and electronically tracking sexual assault kits by June 2022, because as the program expands across Georgia, more and more survivors will receive empowering updates about the location status of their evidence. SANE nurses received training on how to change the status of a kit and generate a pin number for a survivor’s accessibility. The pilot does not change the day-to-day work that the nurses are already doing, though— it adds additional procedure, and provides the survivors more autonomy. “It gives us a little bit more information that we can give to the survivor. It also helps us know what happens to the evidence after the test,” Dickens says. “There is a little bit of an extra step administratively, but it doesn’t change anything that we’ve already been doing with regard to collecting evidence, transferring evidence to law enforcement and our law enforcement partners getting into the crime lab, but it does give some visibility to the survivor, and that certainly goes back to our mission of serving survivors in our community.” f

FLAGPOLE.COM | NOVEMBER 3, 2021

Last week I answered a question about aging and the pressure we feel to achieve certain goals by a certain age. I really stressed the importance of surrounding yourself with people who won’t hold you to their own standards or judge you for living life at a pace that works best for you. I forgot to recommend refraining from putting others down just to feel better about yourself, to cultivate self-esteem that does not rely on the shortcomings of others to be valid. I used to deeply resent people who were more successful than me, and I managed that insecurity by telling myself that they were all unhappy losers. In hindsight, I feel silly for grasping at security by judging my life to be better than someone else’s. Years ago, I scoffed to a coworker about a mom walking down the sidewalk outside of the shop where we worked. She was pushing a double stroller while walking with a toddler, who was resisting mom’s

be edging its way into Old Fart territory. Basically, I’m seeing a lot of those “these kids don’t appreciate anything” type memes on social media out of people I graduated with, and it’s just embarrassing. Plenty of people say things like that as a joke, but I suspect that just as many really are basing part of their self-image on the differences between their generation and the next one. I’m proud of millenials for not hesitating to quit bad jobs or cut off abusive loved ones, as they’ve shaken off the social pressure that my generation felt to stick with bad jobs and partners. They’ve proven that “do it for the kids” hasn’t worked out, but I see so many people of my age maligning millennials for doing the things that we are not brave enough to do. I have watched so many of my classmates stick with terrible work conditions with absolutely no thought of asking for better out of their employers, because if you work hard enough, the employer

efforts to hold their hand as they walked so close to a busy street. I made a comment along the lines of, “When I see moms like that, I feel so sorry for them,” and my coworker immediately saw through my needless, unprompted words about a woman who was just living her life with no impact on my own. He gave me the kindest, gentlest smile before pretty much saying that he chose not to judge or make assumptions about others. He had no opinion on this woman or her kids or her midday walk, because why should he? He was not in the business of validating his own choices by judging the choices of others, and I suddenly felt like a huge asshole for clearly being party to such an immature worldview. I work every day on cultivating a self-image that is independent of the actions of those around me, and it’s surprising to me how often I have to exercise that discernment. I’m very upfront about the fact that I’m no spring chicken, and lately I’m starting to notice that my generation might

will notice and reward you for it, right? Millennials don’t believe that, and neither should we. They don’t work overtime for free. They ask about salary ranges because it’s perfectly legal for them to do so, and if a job responds poorly to that, then they seek out work with companies that have more respect for their employees. They don’t scab on striking workers, and they don’t cross picket lines. They will punch the spit out of a Nazi’s mouth. I’m impressed as hell with these kids. How have we spent years telling young people not to take any guff, just to turn around and resent them when they practice what we preached? I just want to be myself, and I want that self to be independent of whatever anyone else is doing. Young people are not hurting anyone by living their values and being themselves, at any cost. f Need advice? Email advice@flagpole.com, or use our anonymous online form at flagpole.com/get-advice.

Delectable Drive-Thru Tacos PLUS, QUICK RAMEN TO RAVE ABOUT By Hillary Brown food@flagpole.com

SARAH ANN WHITE

LOS PRIMOS TAQUERIA EXPRESS (7990 that caters mostly to Spanish-speaking Macon Hwy., 706-705-6195): If I were to clientele will fail to balance the seasoning tell you that some of the legitimately best of its fillings against the tendency of corn tacos in the Athens area can be had at a tortillas to bland everything out, but that’s drive-through restaurant in Oconee County not an issue at Los Primos. The al pastor that looks like a national franchise, you includes niblets of pineapple, the tongue is would probably laugh in disbelief. But realcubed small and cooked slowly to make it ity doesn’t care about your expectations or beautifully tender, the carnitas have enough mine. Los Primos took over the former Golden Chick, near Waffle House and a sign that urges people to call their legislators and ask them to investigate the results of the 2020 presidential election. Owned by the same folks who run La Cabana, Los Primos is more quick-service and less sit-down, although you can do either. If you go inside, you can get a beer or a margarita, but you also shouldn’t expect to see much in the way of acknowledgement of an ongoing pandemic. There’s a patio for outdoor dining, which could work, but the drive-through is also speedy, pleasant and safer. The menu isn’t as huge as the usual American Mexican place, nor is it as streamlined as something that’s a pure taqueria. Instead, it borrows from numerous sources, offering rice bowls (topped with proteins and veggies— totally fine but not particularly exciting), tortas (available in some very solid Los Primos Taqueria Express combinations, such as chorizo, rajas and steak; the bread is a little too floppy, bark without having too much, and even and the fries, although well flavored, are the grilled fish marries softness with bite. pretty soggy), big salads, nachos and big Everything is dressed with lime, onions and burritos that require a fork. Your best bet, cilantro, with more limes alongside, plus however, are the tacos, both the more traa couple of impressively hot sauces (one ditional Mexican-style ones and the more green, one habanero) should you need to fusiony ones that come in flour tortillas. add more flavor, but the point is that you The former, double corn-tortilla-ed, manlikely won’t. There’s tripe, too, and barbaage not to fall apart despite being pretty coa, as well as American tacos in a crispy packed with fillings. Often, even a taqueria corn shell with ground beef, lettuce and

cheese. Don’t snooze on the flour tortilla section of the menu, either. I was extremely skeptical of a quinoa, arugula and black bean taco in a whole-wheat tortilla, but it’s quite tasty, with red onions, tomato and an avocado lime sauce. Likewise (although slightly less so), for a steak and plantain taco with a mango sauce. If I had to nitpick, I’d say the latter is a bit too sweet, but it’s also hearty, with plenty of flavor. The tacos run between $2.75 and $3.50, making them slightly higher priced than average, but they’re sizable, meaning you might need fewer than usual. Los Primos also has a kids menu, empanadas, gorditas, desserts and specials that can include quesabirria and soups. It’s open for lunch and dinner every day.

JINYA RAMEN BAR (351 E. Broad St., 706-478-0880): Jinya is similar to Los Primos in that it provides a surprisingly good product but, unlike that restaurant, it is an international chain with locations as far away as Vancouver. The interior is busy with seating options also outside, but its take-out experience is speedy and well thought out, with noodles packed separately from hot broth to keep them from

disintegrating. Combine them when you arrive at your eating destination, wherever that might be, and you’ll end up with a fresh bowl of hot, delicious variety. Although I normally prefer a meatier ramen, the collagen-rich broth being the most appealing aspect of the dish, Jinya’s spicy, creamy vegan ramen is one of the best things it offers, with a deeply flavorful vegetarian broth and all kinds of hot and crunchy ingredients: thin-sliced wood ear mushrooms, raw and fried onions, sesame seeds, chili oil. The classic pork tonkotsu is a close second, in either red (spicy) or black, with a broth that can be almost jelly-like and a softly boiled egg. The menu also includes many late-night-type snacks: takoyaki, shishito peppers, gyoza and caramelized cauliflower. The only one that transcends quick service is the steamed bun with pork, Kewpie mayo, cucumbers and lettuce, which is also available in an Impossible version which is a salty, sweet, sticky, nommable morsel. There are rice bowls and curries, a kids menu, poke, salads, spicy tuna tacos, mochi ice cream and so on. It’s a big menu, with regular limited-time specials and sortable by vegetarian and gluten-free options. Jinya might be a chain, but it’s a polished one with a reliably good product. The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner every day, with a full bar that includes hot and cold sakes and Japanese beer. You can order take-out on its site at jinyaramenbar.com. WHAT’S UP: Atlanta chain Slutty Vegan is opening a location on Baxter Street, in a new building with Tex-Mex restaurant Surchero’s out of Douglasville and sandwich/soup chain Newk’s. A similar chain, McAllister’s, is now open at the former Steak ‘n’ Shake. A West Coast franchise, Pizza Factory, is opening in Athens, exact location TBA. The Creature Comforts taproom is hosting Charleston-based Rodney Scott’s BBQ during UGA home games. Broad Events coordinates catering and other services at a venue at Wall and Broad streets downtown.

Dawgs Have the GOAT Defense Local Plays for the Holidays AND THEY PROVED IT AGAINST FLORIDA AT THE WLOCP

STRUGGLE, LOVE, MYSTERY AND MAGIC

By Cy Brown news@flagpole.com

By Sam Lipkin editorial@flagpole.com

Man, these dudes are different. The Georgia Bulldogs have done a lot of impressive stuff on their way to an 8-0 record this season, especially on defense. But no moment or series of moments has stood out like a 135-second stretch toward the end of the first half of the Dawgs’ 34-7 win over Florida in the World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party. Following a Stetson Bennett IV interception in the waning minutes of the first half, the Gators only needed a first down to escape into the locker room with just a three-point deficit. Anthony Richardson, Florida’s would-be savior at quarterback, almost had it as he rumbled toward the Georgia 10-yard line. But as he continued to fight for yardage, linebacker Nolan Smith fought for the ball and stripped Richardson. James Cook ran in for an 11-yard touchdown on the next play to put Georgia up 10-0.

As the winter holidays roll in, they bring out a different side of Athens events— trading the “hairy dawg” variety of hunker down for getting out of the cold. There is still plenty to do for a joyous family outing, lowkey gathering of friends or entertainment for the solo adventurer. Although the theaters are open year-round with worthwhile dramas, musicals, ballets and more, there’s something about this season that feels like a great time to check out the calendar. Here are a few upcoming events to catch before the year ends.

UGA THEATRE

damn sure weren’t gonna score more than 24 in a single half. With the victory over Florida combined with a Mississippi State win over Kentucky, Georgia has clinched an SEC East title—its fourth in five years—and a ticket to Atlanta for the SEC Championship Game. There are four games remaining on Georgia’s regular-season slate: Missouri, Tennessee, Charleston Southern and Georgia Tech. Win these next four and you’re in the College Football Playoff regardless of what happens in Atlanta. Based on what we’ve seen so far from the Georgia defense, those four teams’ chances skew heavily toward the “none” side on the “slim-to-none” scale. I’ll say it again: These. Dudes. Are. Different. What was so jarring about the defensive run at the end of the first half against Florida was its suddenness. For three possessions, Florida tried to end the half on their terms, and for three possessions, we wouldn’t let it happen. From a purely statistical standpoint, it would appear the Florida defense outperformed Georgia. They outgained us (355 yards to 354), had more first downs (20 to 18), won the time of possession battle (32:20 to 27:40), and tied us in turnovers (three apiece). But this Dawg defense has an intangible ability to make plays and stops when it matters the most. The defense is so good as a unit, it’s difficult to highlight Nakobe Dean (17) was one of many heroes for the Georgia defense individual perforSaturday. mances.

Remembering Wes Delk LOCAL SOUND ENGINEER WAS A HERO OF THE MUSIC SCENE By Various Authors music@flagpole.com

NeeCee Delk: Wes and I have been extremely close since childhood. Our mom was a single mom; our dad was never in the picture. We spent a lot of time playing together, just the two of us. After college, he was on the road for most of his career. He was only home during holidays and a short time in the summer, so any time he was close with the show, we would try to go to the venue.

When he was working with Widespread Panic, the tour always closed on Thanksgiving Day at the Fox Theatre. After the show, they had a Thanksgiving dinner for all of the “family.” Wes made sure that we brought Momma to the show and dinner each year. She was so proud of him. Those Thanksgiving dinners in the basement of the Fox are some of my most precious memories. Wes didn’t have a nuclear family of his own, so my girls were his girls. Helen was the light of his life from the time she was born until the moment he took his last breath. I will always be grateful that she was the person in the room with him when he left us. ROBERT HAWTHORNE

lifton West Delk, “Wes,” who died on Sept. 25 at the age of 64, is a name that every sound engineer in the Athens music scene and beyond knows. He was known for his skills behind a console, kind heart and quick-witted humor. Wes was born in Athens and was a staple for many venues. He designed and helped set up the sound systems for the Georgia Theatre and The Melting Point, training and mentoring many young engineers along the way. The list of artists and engineers Wes has worked with is endless: Chubby Checker, David Allan Coe, Sea Level, Indigo Girls, Widespread Panic, Waylon Jennings, Travis Tritt, Britney Spears and Dawes, to name a few. A memorial and benefit concert, Wes Fest: Celebration in Sound, will be held on Sunday, Nov. 7 from 1–6 p.m. at Southern Brewing Co. Hosted by Lisa Mende and David Strickland, the lineup includes Cosmo Jr., Timi and the Wonderland Rangers, Caroline Aiken Trio with Adam Poulin, The Rick Fowler Band with Fester Hagood, Randall Bramblett, Tommy Townsend (of Waymore’s Outlaws), Pylon Reenactment Society, Squalls, Cindy Wilson and Nolan Bennett, and NeeCee Delk. Funds raised in excess of medical expenses will be divided among the Madison-Oglethorpe Animal Shelter, Athens Area Humane Society and Artist2Artist. [Jessie Goodson]

Dave Schools: We (Widespread Panic) had a good run with Wes on the road. We loved him, and the fans loved him too… often posting pictures of him with his own circle of fans on early Panic internet bulletin boards and fan broadsheets. Athens is a small town where everyone knows each other, and it is no different on the road. People like Wes Delk are few and far between and affect so many of us in a positive way that I know I am not alone in the sadness of missing his warmth and humor. He was truly a sweet man, and he was a giant at the mixing console. Godspeed Wes… I hope you are mixing the house band in God’s Bar where so many of our lost friends continue to perform. Horace Moore: My favorite picture in my music room is not of a traditional musician,

but of Wes Delk, a soundboard musician. Over his lifetime, Wes took a mountain of raw sound from so many musical genres and through his sound-engineering wizardry, touched so many lives with what I’ll just describe as his genuineness… in his craft and with people. Over the years, Wes’ body grew weary and his steps shorter, but his bright spirit was always there… behind that devilish grin and that raised eyebrow, the sparkle in his eye said it all. That look is captured forever in my favorite picture in my music

room. Thank you, Wes, you made this world a better place and made your friends better people. Rest easy, sir. Colm O’Reilly: Wes was a mentor and friend to so many. His calm demeanor and wise yet funny comments kept everyone in good spirits. His stories were unmatched. His breadth of experience came through in those stories and the way he could mix

a show. The first time I saw Dawes at the Melting Point it was magical, and they knew they had found their guy. Wes, thank you for all you taught me. I will always treasure our times together. Wish I could hug you on the neck now buddy. Love you always, brother. Kevin Sweeney: I met Wes in the fall of 1987, very soon after I arrived in Athens. He was running sound at the Uptown Lounge, and he noticed me checking out the console. He motioned me over and asked, “Do you want to see a trick to running sound?” I said, “Of course” and he pulled off his headphones to reveal Walkman headphones underneath. I always liked running into Wes, but we became much better friends years later, when he and Horace Moore hired me to run sound at the Melting Point. It was there that I actually learned his real “tricks” and got to know him well. He was always very helpful as a mentor, not just to me but also to every younger person he met. Matt Recchia: Wes changed the course of my life on May 1, 2009 when he invited me to be a stagehand at the Melting Point for a Chuck Leavell and Randall Bramblett Band concert. Over the next few years, I spent almost every day I could at the venue with Wes (and Kevin Sweeney) learning how to become a sound engineer. Later, I found myself on the road, visiting the same venues and experiencing the stories Wes would tell me about while we would spend time together. You could write a book with the knowledge Wes passed along to all the engineers who were lucky enough to work with him. Whenever a console turns on in Athens, that engineer should be thanking Wes for helping to create a scene where we are able to do what we love for a living. And remember, “This is no dress rehearsal, we are professionals, and this is the big time.” f

Derek was a kind friend and a fiery musician who is best remembered for his role as the drummer for Manray, which also featured his two brothers, Ryan and Jordan. On a personal note, I remember Derek with his huge, ear-toear smile and infectious laugh. Always quick to joke around or come to the defense of someone that needed defending, Derek was a joy to be around and a wonderful person to call friend. He was 32 years old.

Whereas “Summer Rain” folded its aggressiveness Derek Olivera into an ostensible love song filled with both confidence and yearning, Terrible Tingz calls everything to the carpet. Featuring guest appearances from Kxng Blanco, DK, AyoPaco, Quezzy Poet and 96 Vizion, these three tracks explore themes of betrayal among friends, jealousy and resolve. Brown also runs through three pretty distinct styles on this from the slow-grinding Outkast-styled “Alpha”— especially between 2:33 and 3:25—to the hard trap styling of “Mouthfool,” and then the Caribbean rhythm of the title track.

During his downtime out West, he went deep into home-studio mode and emerged with a spectacular new EP, released by HHBTM Records under the project name Mild Mild Country named Never Had a Touch to Lose. The synth-based all-instrumental record is wildly different from anything we’ve heard from him before, and is swaddled in sweeping

western soundscapes (“Snake War”), a touch of SpaghettiWesternism (“Cake Sword”) and even poptimism worthy of The Go Team (“Quake Shore”). Importantly, though, these aspects are generally subsumed into much longer meditations, and none are married to the descriptors above. For the digital release, Ward also includes a cover of Depeche Mode’s anthem “Everything Counts,” and while it’s a fine version, it’s also the least interesting thing here and pales in comparison to his original work, which is compelling, thoughtful, painstakingly arranged and a real treat to hear. Find this from wherever you get your digital tunes, and for more information, as well as CD and cassette versions, please see hhbtm.com. BLISS OUT: Musician Marcell

Sletten, who moved his label Primordial Void to Athens from Lodi, CA earlier this year, has a relatively fat catalog of works under his belt, both his own and those from other artists. For his own part, back in August he released his new album Vicious Kisses, and it’s a nice, eight-track collection of generally ambient goods. It is far less abrasive, ergo more immediately accessible, than his EP release California Delta Blues from April. Unlike traditional ambient records, though, there are instances where Sletten commands attention, such as the deliberately rhythmic “Kali Yuga” and the highlighted percussive piano in “Sleepless Nights.” Sletten is devoted to noting his compositional influences lean toward folk music, and it’s interesting to hear how he’s filtered this through his own music, which on its surface appears to bear little resemblance. Check it out at primordialvoid. bandcamp.com, and learn more over at marcelsletten.com. FRIENDS & FAMILY: The historical bona fides of Athens super-

group Cosmo Jr. are indisputable, and now they’ve got a new album out that tells tale of several other notable and longstanding Athens community members. The record is

appropriately titled Athens Legends, and it specifically name drops Cillies’ Cat Bobon, Wuxtry Records’ Dan Wall, Barrie Buck and Velena Vego (of the 40 Watt Club), musician Doug Stanley (The Glands) and theater star Calvin Orlando Smith, among others. Generally speaking, Cosmo Jr. maintains a classic rock combo style—especially on tracks like “Queens of The 40 Watt” and “Betty Alice”—but has specific moments of lovely tenderness such as the softly psychedelic “Sunbeam Spots.” Close listeners to the album will notice tips to both Sly & The Family Stone and Chicago, as well. Check this out at cosmojr.bandcamp.com, and be a pal via facebook.com/cosmolot. IMAGINARY THEMES: Composer Andrew Steck released his new album Theater a few weeks ago. The goal of these compositions is to replicate, or at least imitate, a night at the theater, and Steck reports that individual pieces were thought of as “instrumental one-act plays,” with the shorter tracks serving as “set change” music. Each piece is a grand affair with instrumentation ranging across a wide swath of techniques. That said, it can be a lot to take in one sitting, but don’t let that aspect dissuade you from checking it out. Steck is a monster talent, and this work deserves an audience. This is available as a compact disc, too. Find it over at andrewsteck.bandcamp.com, and keep up with Steck at facebook.com/andrewsteckcomps as well as the home of his label Arfus Records at arfusrecords.com. BRING IT BACK: I have no idea when experimental musicians

Rachel and Grant Evans sleep. It’s as if whenever they’re in danger of running out of work to do, they think up 20 new things to keep themselves busy. To wit, although they shuttered their old label Hooker Vision several years ago, they’ve restarted it, at least temporarily, with a new cassette split release between the pair. Grant’s side is under Modern Lamps, which is an old collective moniker of his. This side of the tape is a single track named “Cutlass Obscura.” It’s pleasantly rhythmic and, if allowed space to breathe, nicely meditative, filled with synth, guitar, strummed piano and percussion. Rachel’s side is under her long-standing Motion Sickness of Time Travel banner and is titled “Extrasolarity.” Functionally, it is equally enrapturing and soothing as Grant’s piece but through a significantly different approach. Grant’s piece is based on acoustic instrumentation and, as a result, sends the listener on his or her way with a naturalism that isn’t present in Rachel’s piece. Her side is electronically based and—perhaps this is simplistic on my part—brings a relaxing level of retro futurism to the table. It’s been quite a while since I heard keys and synths being used in just this way, so this was a nice respite. Each side is over 40 minutes long, which is plenty of time to lose oneself in these. If you want the full release, you’ve gotta pony up for the tape, but samples are available at hookervision.bandcamp.com. f
