“ Knifeplay are pushing the shoegaze revival to embrace the jagged textures of experimental rock, the earnestness of emo, and the delicacy of string compositions without any pretension.

-Pitchfork

“ The song's fuzzed-out guitars and warped riffs give just a hint of how heavy Animal Drowning can get, but its soaring final minute is a reminder that the band is just as committed to crafting moments of beauty you can get lost in.

RUI GABRIEL COMPASSION

The inviting and perceptive songs on Rui Gabriel’s debut LP Compassion all tackle growing up. It’s about how the older you get, your priorities shift, friendships evolve, and responsibilities become inescapable. For Gabriel, the Indiana-based, Venezuela-born artist and co-founder of the acclaimed band Lawn, the changes in his own life inspired him to write a solo full-length that sounds like nothing the indie rock journeyman has done before. Across 10 vibrant tracks that combine ethereal pop with slacker-rock and piano-driven dance music, it’s a galvanizing showcase of personal growth and the grace you give yourself to push forward.

Work on Compassion started in 2018 when Gabriel was living in New Orleans. “I was living a pretty teenage life in many ways,” says Gabriel. “I worked at a pizza restaurant and would just go to shows or parties. I wasn’t doing anything other than music. I didn’t have many responsibilities.” The songs he was working on at the time—tracks that didn’t fit Lawn but Gabriel still liked—initially went unfinished. But as Gabriel’s life changed, so did his songwriting and his desire to see his ideas through. “When I was writing lyrics, I was settling down with my partner and about to become a dad,” says Gabriel. “I was making choices about my life that contradicted the existence I had before. I had a different set of priorities.”

The songs on Compassion deal with youthful carelessness (“Dreamy Boys”) and coming face-to-face with newfound responsibilities (“Change Your Mind”). It’s consistently a biting, observant look at getting older thanks to Gabriel’s unique perspective as a South American immigrant who’s lived across the United States for the past 13 years. “When you are Hispanic, English isn’t your first language, and you’re in a music scene with a bunch of white people, you’re going to stand out a little bit,” he says. On “Church of Nashville,” “Hey, Leonard Cohen is singing poems by the gentrified alley” he humorously aims at scene pretension and industry gatekeepers.

Compared to Gabriel’s work with Lawn, where he writes frenetic post-punk songs and yells, for Compassion he explores more straightforward pop sensibilities and showcases his singing voice. “I wanted to do a solo record to prove to myself that I could sing,” says Gabriel. Take the meditative, piano-based lead single “Target,” which is inspired by Dido and finds Gabriel gorgeously harmonizing with singer Kate Teague. He reaches similar infectiousness on the sunny rocker “Summertime Tiger,” which guests Stef Chura. Co-produced by Gabriel and Nicholas Corson (The Convenience, Video Age), Compassion is consistently warm, generous, colorful, and adventurous.

“Compassion is a record about change,” says Gabriel. “It’s a coming-of-age record but for somebody who’s coming of age into their thirties.”

ZACCHAE’US PAUL JA MONEY SS

The genre, mind, and spiritbending debut album from the New York Winter JazzFest’s breakout star

“Speaking of surprises, my biggest of the weekend was ZACCHAE’US PAUL . . . he danced in and out of funk, jazz-rock fusion, and a kind of futuristic gospel.”

— Giovani Russenello, The New York Times

Featuring Terri Lyne Carrington, Melanie Charles, Cisco Swank, and Morgan Guerin

Jazz Money is an irreverent, fresh take on “America’s classical music” that speaks to the 24 year old artist’s deep-beyond-his-years understanding of Black music and the African diaspora. Paul stretches and bends jazz sounds around the Atlanta hip-hop he grew up with, the gospel sounds and philosophies that have long shaped his music making, and the Caribbean rhythms he learned studying in Puerto Rico. He has created a wholly personal sound that is youthful, and thoughtful all at once. “When you listen to this album, listen to it again,” Paul says. “A lot of the songs have multiple meanings, and I’d love for people to have different perspectives on them.”

Made with a cast of improvising upstarts and veterans that includes the album’s executive producer, Terri Lyne Carrington, fellow Atlanta native and Candid recording artist Morgan Guerin and Paul’s fiancée and star vocalist Melanie Charles, Jazz Money is jazz music for this, and future, generations.

ROYAL HEADACHE Live in America

LABEL: What’s Your Rupture?

For anyone who ever knew they were watching the world’s greatest band in that specific time and place, we bring you evidence of Royal Headache’s live performances in America in the 2010s.

Royal Headache consisted of Shogun (vocals), Law (guitar), Joe (bass) and Shortty (drums). They hailed from Sydney at a pretty ripe time for bands from Australia to make international headways. They came to the States four times. Kicking off the East Coast leg of their 2012 American tour, they made a stop off at the vaunted WFMU studios in Jersey City, where they recorded the live set for Terre T’s Cherry Blossom Clinic program, comprising side A of this release. As was customary, these guys simply turning on their amps generated a cyclone of bracing, scratched-up noise pop, lifted to even higher peaks with Shogun’s vocals, emotionally soaring out of traps and circumstances to push an already careening band over the top and off the edge. Mostly comprised of material from their first album, Royal Headache debuted “High” on this show, and closed with “Stand and Stare,” a rarity recorded for a 7” single.

WYR0124 FORMAT: Vinyl LP

Side B moves the chains to 2015, and a rainy August night in Chicago, when Royal Headache was making even more significant inroads to the ears of savvy, with-it fans in America, Europe, and Japan, as well as back home. On this night they graced the Empty Bottle with a set focused on their second album High, and a blues ballad called “So Low” that makes its recorded debut here. Royal Headache had no issues meeting the spotlight on this evening, as this board recording attests. They were on fire, smoked the sold-out room sideways and back, and if the FMU session got in your face, this set grabs you by the collar, taking everything society had thrown at or accoladed them with and distilling it into piercingly melodic, throttling rock ‘n’ roll.

If you can play like this, do it. If you can sing like this, step up. The world has been without Royal Headache for far too long, and unless they return, proof such as what you got here will be all you have. Take this and let it push you into whatever needs to happen next.

SAM MORTON DAFFODILS & DIRT

STREET DATE: June 21st, 2024

SAM MORTON - the musical duo comprising of singer, songwriter and acclaimed BAFTA award winning actor and director Samantha Morton, and music producer and artist Richard Russell (Everything is Recorded) release debut album ‘Daffodils & Dirt’. Biographical brooding, poetic first statement of songs, couched in an unsettling, raw musical storytelling with Richard Russell production. Entering the musical space with collaborators; Jack Penate, Laura Groves, Alabaster DePlume and Ali Campbell (UB40). As collaborations go, you couldn’t ask for something more unforeseeable or more sublime, and it speaks not only to Morton’s bravery and the unerring quality of Russell’s instinct, but to their individual artistry, and to the creative sparks that fly between them when they’re together, something Pierre Guyotat once described as “the duel with beauty, which is the writing of a work.”

During her childhood, she rebounded from one children’s home to another, sometimes living with foster parents, sometimes sleeping rough, everything she owned in one small plastic bag. In Daffodils and Dirt, Morton does more than merely draw on her troubled past, at times seems to be back there, inside it – music as an out-of-body experience, music as possession. She might be using her natural singing voice, but it often feels as if she is actually inhabiting her teenage self. Somehow in the mystical act of singing, she has morphed into the girl she once was. Underpinning everything is Russell’s gift for emptiness and depth. Reared on 80s hip hop, he once claimed that the word ‘spartan’ guided his creative process. If the singer is a tightrope-walker, Russell is the air beneath, that yawning space that makes us realise how daring the act of tightrope-walking is, and how miraculous. Russell’s soundscapes, so thin and yet so rich, are the perfect setting for Morton’s delicate vocals and fierce feeling.

Prepare to embark on an auditory journey like no other as Norwegian prog-rock maestros Airbag unleash their highly anticipated sixth studio album, "The Century of the Self." Showcasing their trademark fusion of mellow introspection and dynamic energy, from the mesmerizing depths of "Dysphoria" to the haunting crescendo of "Tyrants and Kings," each track captivates with irresistible vocal hooks and virtuosic lead guitar work that has become synonymous with the Airbag sound.

As the album unfolds, listeners are taken on a voyage through introspection and intensity, from the introspective balladry of "Awakening" to the foreboding depths of the single "Erase." Evoking echoes of their acclaimed work on the album "Disconnected," "Erase" builds from a hypnotic bassline into a powerhouse of heavy refrains, setting the stage for the epic conclusion of "Tear it Down." Clocking in at a staggering 14 minutes, this opus traverse serene moments of reflection to the heaviest musical landscapes Airbag has ever ventured.

Yet, "The Century of the Self" is more than just a sonic odyssey—it's a reflection of our modern zeitgeist. Delving into themes of cancel culture and the rewriting of personal histories, the album offers a poignant commentary on a world steeped in fear and condemnation.

Recorded at Subsonic Society, Airbag Studio, and Riis Studio, and expertly produced, mixed, and mastered by Vegard Kleftås Sleipnes, "The Century of the Self" stands as a testament to Airbag's enduring creativity and artistic vision.

After their initial self titled record, recorded live and performed mainly on the street, The Builders and the Butchers entered the studio with acclaimed and beloved Portland musician and producer Chris Funk to record the bands next collection of songs. An album to be titled Salvation is a Deep Dark Well

The spirit of the Builders has always been, and always will be, inclusion and collaboration. From the early shows on the street, to passing out instruments in clubs, the early days were always about how many people would be “in the band” on any given night. The Builders took this spirit of inclusion into the studio where they invited some of their favorite musicians and best friends to perform on Salvation is a Deep Dark Well.

Over 50 different musicians perform on the album, including the Portland Flash Choir, a gospel choir, Portland Cello Project, string quartets, as well as horn sections. This is on top of the band members who played over 30 different instruments themselves.

These performances were masterfully orchestrated by Chris Funk and then mixed with care by the esteemed Tucker Martine. Resulting in an album that is not only lush and full, but also immediate, vital and dark.

THRILL JOCKEY

On The Healer, the new full length from the Northwestbased trio of guitarist and vocalist Aaron Turner (ISIS, Old Man Gloom) bassist Brian Cook (Russian Circles, Botch) and drummer Nick Yacyshyn (Baptists) the group deepens its multi-faceted exploration into the parallel experiences of creation and destruction. Over the course of 4 tracks in 76 minutes, SUMAC present a sequence of shifting movements which undergo a constant process of expansion, contraction, corruption and regrowth.

This musical methodology reflects the thematic nature of the record - narratives of experiential wounding as gateways to empowerment and evolution, both individual and collective. The group’s interpolation of melody, drone, improvisation, and complex riffing becomes a transmogrifying act embodying the depth of human experience. In its highest aspiration it mirrors our ability to endure mortal and spiritual challenges, through which we may emerge with an increased capacity for understanding, empathy, love of self and others. Dismal though the subterranean pits of The Healer may at first appear, from them can be felt the unwavering determination to embrace life, acknowledge interdependence, and honor the gift of existence.

“SUMAC are pushing metal in a direction so uncomfortable it may cease to be metal, into an openness that isn’t about saying “F*CK YOU!” the loudest. The result is some of [Aaron Turner’s] most exciting work since Isis disbanded.” -Pitchfork

“[SUMAC] has used a post-metal and sludge metal palette to paint a richly immersive musical journey into soundscapes of simmering tension with a shimmering and sincere selfreflection at the core.” -New Noise

A singular blend of seismic weight, mesmeric drone, and gripping tension is the Midwestern band’s musical signature. Driven by an exploratory ethos, Aseethe warp sounds into emotionally potent songs that are as detailed as they are immense. The Cost is an album shadowed by devastating losses, a visceral study in aftermaths, centered around how life moves forward after personal and universal traumas. Recorded by acclaimed producer/engineer Sanford Parker (Pelican, Eyehategod, Yob, Voivod) at Electrical Audio in Chicago, The Cost is more focused and elaborate than anything the band have crafted before, expanding Aseethe’s dynamic palette with more nuance and transforming their battering sound into cathartic arcs.

A deft balance of abrasive textures surrounding a meditative core is a hallmark of Aseethe’s sound, and on The Cost these qualities are amplified to the extreme. Says Barr, “It’s still down-tuned and heavy, but we were deliberately trying to make a record that uses our own musical language to make something that was representative of the musicians we are.”

On The Cost, Aseethe’s detailed textural movements and punishing guitar passages each carry considerable emotional resonance. The album is abounding in both the skillful arrangements and the poignance the songs deliver. It is a moving, singular and adventurous record by an iconic midwestern band who has always chosen the road less traveled.

Description: Recorded and produced by friend and frequent collaborator Mo Troper, Who’s A Good Boy is equal parts scrappy and starry-eyed in its sonic makeup. Album opener “The Flake” sets the stage with fuzzy guitars crashing in and Ramirez’s relaxed vocals placed front and center, as a result, the track feels like throwing on a warm blanket. And look no further than the album’s charming lead single “We Both Won,” a jangly earworm with the hypnotic refrain of “Don’t worry about me” lingering long after the track ends, serving as further proof that Bory has found the recipe for the perfect pop song and knows how to deliver it in two minutes flat. At every twist and turn of Who’s A Good Boy there’s something new to be discovered, making it one of the most exciting debuts you're likely to hear in a long time.

The Boys –Alternative Chartbusters

Call Of The Void

LP VOID016LP 809236001382

Classic Black vinyl, 1000 pressed. A punk classic, gloriously anthemic power pop from the cult UK outfit. On 17 March 1978, a mere six months after the release of their self-titled debut, The Boys second album “Alternative Chartbusters” was released (once again, produced by Dangerfield & Steel). As AllMusic recognises, “Alternative Chartbusters” was way ahead of its time, a buried treasure that only got dusted off much later: “Condemned at the time for offering up little more than a straight carbon copy of its predecessor, the second Boys’ album has since ascended to the pantheon of power pop greats, a combination of the band's own inestimable position at the forefront of what, by early 1978, was already a burgeoning movement, and their seemingly effortless grasp of the rudiments of, indeed, a great pop song.” Along with the Sex Pistols, Clash and the Damned, The Boys were part of the first wave of the mid-1970’s UK punk explosion. Armed with an arsenal of killer Steel/Dangerfield songs The Boys became the first UK punk band to sign an album deal in January 1977 and subsequently released two albums, their self-titled debut and the follow-up “Alternative Chartbusters” in quick succession. Highly regarded by the music press and their contemporaries, yet somehow criminally ignored by a wider punk audience, unable to grasp their heritage of vintage rock ‘n’ roll that went back to Chuck Berry courtesy of The Beatles. Their wellcrafted songs, together with Steel and Dangerfield’s layered harmonies, even led to them being described as ‘The Beatles of Punk’.

The Void

Classic Black vinyl, 1000 pressed. Arguably one of the best punk albums of the 70s, The Boys self-titled debut (produced by Dangerfield & Steel) is a cult UK classic. The album is filled with the pop punk gems, the kind of immediate salvos that would elevate Buzzcocks into the charts. In the intervening years, the history of punk rock has been written and re-written and a whole heap of bands have been sidelined. The Boys’ debut album, remastered here still sounds as fresh and immediate as it did back then and it also includes two classic punk rock singles in ‘I Don’t Care’ and ‘First Time’ (the latter, along with The Undertones "Teenage Kicks", the ultimate punk anthem of teenage romance and adolescent angst).

Along with the Sex Pistols, Clash and the Damned, The Boys were part of the first wave of the mid-1970’s UK punk explosion.

Monotreme Records

CD £4.99 MONO228CD 5060464101106

‘SIVE’ is a lovingly crafted collection of heartfelt songs by Michele Ducci, focusing primarily on piano and Michele’s soft, soulful vocals Michele was the ‘M’ in the electro-pop duo ‘M+A’, who released two albums on Monotreme Records, the second of which, ‘These Days’, earned the band a place in The Guardian’s ‘best new bands of 2014’ list and saw them win the Glastonbury Emerging Talent Competition and perform live on the Pyramid Stage, as well as at the Venice Biennale.

The duo then formed a new project, Santii, which involved several Hip Hop artists including Rejjie Snow, Mick Jenkins and Music Producer Supah Mario (Drake, Young Thug), releasing two EPs on Italian label Sugar Records before going their separate ways due to artistic differences.

"I went back to the house where I was born and where I first started playing. After the pandemic I had practically no instruments anymore except a guitar with three strings and a pianola. I needed to make a record that I had never been able to make and that I had always dreamed of making. Something very essential: with the piano and the voice." A set of demos emerged, which he sent to Monotreme Records, with whom he had enjoyed working in the past.

‘SIVE’ encompasses a range of styles, from the dreamy singer/songwriter tones of ‘Feelings’, ‘Here You Are’, and ‘Nonesome’ to the uptempo pop of ‘You Lay the Path’, RnB-infused ‘Just Because’ and percussive Beat poetry of ‘Hic’. Album opener, ’River’, is a poignant ballad that winds along like its title, opening with the quiet intimacy of hushed vocals and piano and detailing the time he desired to leave the music world behind: “They call my name but I’m a river”.

Ex Easter Island Head –

Norther

Rocket Recordings

LP LAUNCH342 5056321642271

In meteorology, the word Norther refers to a cold wind that blows down from the north. For Liverpool’s Ex-Easter Island Head, it’s also an apt title for the strange and multi-faceted sound of their new album that now descends upon the world at large: ever shifting, a multiplicity of sounds both acoustic and manipulated, and yet one that still moves as part of a single mighty breeze.

At times it might recall the experiments of Rhys Chatham and Glenn Branca, the widescreen beauty of The Necks, the relentless experimentation of Arnold Dreyblatt or the boundary-pushing roster of Kompakt Records, yet ultimately this is music that has no direct compare. Each of its six pieces demonstrates a different creative process. On blossoming opener ‘Weather’, whirring motors dance fairy-like atop strings and drums; on the dizzying ‘Magnetic Language’ voices are played back through phones and amplified through pickups made of magnets wrapped in copper wire; the title of ‘Golden Bridges’ refers to the brass rods the band shift beneath the strings of their guitar. All, however, tap to one degree or another into that abiding theme of the weather. Norther is Ex-Easter Island Head’s first studio album since 2016, a time spent on collaborations and one-off performances with everyone from classical musicians and fellow experimentalists to schoolchildren.

“All of the projects we were involved in between 2016 and 2024 have expanded the boundaries of what we do by exposing us to a huge variety of instruments, personalities and ways of working. It's really allowed us to see the purity of making music with a four-piece group,” says the band’s Benjamin D. Duvall. That status as a quartet is a new one, with the addition of longstanding friend and collaborator Andrew PM Hunt. Having a member of the band handling recording and mixing helped them push further and further into sonic territory that until Norther remained entirely unexplored – not just by Ex-Easter Island Head, but by any other band on earth.

The Lovely Eggs will release Nothing/Everything - the lead single from their forthcoming album “Eggsistentialism” on Friday April 26th on Egg Records. Their third collaboration with Grammy Award winning producer Dave Fridmann, “Nothing/Everything” will be released on ltd edition bright yellow 7” ” vinyl with more out of this world art-work by illustrator Casey Raymond. Nothing/Everything is a wistful, stark, magnificent seven minute psychedelic epic. It’s The Lovely Eggs as you’ve never heard them before. “Nothing/Everything is the Yin/Yang of life,” explains Holly. “There’s hope and despair, patience and frustration, birth and death, the mundane and the extraordinary. It’s the magnificence of “Being” walking hand in hand alongside life’s daily grind. This song is simply what is. It’s not looking forward or back. It’s us now. It’s uplifting and it’s tragic. It is probably the longest and most meaningful song we’ve ever written and recorded. It’s our magnum opus about life.” With the full 7 minute and two second version on the A side, the B gives you the radio edit.

LOVE HEART CHEAT CODE

Release

Date: June 28th, 2024

The 3x Grammy nominated powerhouse, Hiatus Kaiyote return to Brainfeeder/NinjaTune with their fourth album Love Heart Cheat Code out June 28th. The Melbourne-based, worldwide-beloved, genre-fluid 4 piece comprised of Naomi “Nai Palm” Saalfield (guitar, vocals), Paul Bender (bass), Simon Mavin (keyboards), and Perrin Moss (drums) - Love Heart Cheat Code is a snapshot of four musicians dancing together on the edge, 11 playful, exuberant tracks that feel light and shine light —from the opening flourish of “Dreamboat” to the closing chants of their interpretation of “White Rabbit.” s fans might expect, Love Heart Cheat Code is filled with any number of incredible performances & yet, for a band that made a name for itself with its complexity, one of the most striking things about Love Heart Cheat Code is its simplicity. “The more you go through things in life, you become more relaxed and uninhibited. Sometimes you can still have depth and reach people and really stop dancing around the fact: What do you want to communicate to people? And I feel like this album is a result of that clarity for us.” With the recent support of Doja Cat (touring the song "Red Room") and Drake hyping the new album, the band has had strong press support from the likes of Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, Clash, Wonderland, Line of Best Fit, 2DOPEBOYZ & Anthony Fantano singing praises. Love Heart Cheat Code is another soon to be classic.

OVERVIEW

Merriweather Post Pavilion, Animal Collective's ninth studio album, sees the American art-rock collective in heartwarmingly baffling form, combining upbeat indietronica with mind-warping samples. For its 15th anniversary, the 2xLP has been pressed on color vinyl for the first time, Bluish and Translucent Green, and is housed in a reflective foil deluxe gatefold jacket.

Merriweather Post Pavilion was universally acclaimed upon its release in 2009 and was named the #1 best album of the year by Pitchfork, Entertainment Weekly, Spin, and KEXP. “Every once in a while, musicians sweep away the existing musical landscape to create something new,” stated NPR at the time. “Animal Collective is such a group, and its new Merriweather Post Pavilion is such an album.” It has since been recognized as one of the most influential records of the 2000s. “When it comes to 2000s indie, Merriweather stands as the era’s alpha and omega,” Pitchfork has written, “a diamond-cut reflection of the era’s eccentricities, seemingly impossible to replicate in form or format.”

HOMESHAKE — Horsie

Release Date: 28th June 2024

SHHOAMKEE Records

Following March's CD Wallet, HOMESHAKE presents his second album of 2024, Horsie Written and recorded at his home studio in Toronto, it explores Sagar’s complicated feelings about returning to live performance. Deepening his relationship to loneliness and anxiety, the record examines those themes in the context of touring.

Horsie employs various textures influenced by artists like Four Tet and My Bloody Valentine, the rhythmic forms of D’Angelo and Sade, and moments of ambient Americana found in the works of Ry Cooder. The cornerstone pieces of gear used were an Ensoniq EPS and Roland Juno 60, though the album also employs a great deal of electric guitar, along with his beloved SP-404. He maintains a philosophy of “less is more,” finding the simplest route from one point to another.

HOMESHAKE, the musical project of Peter Sagar, is an expression of adjustment and contortion within the world as he experiences it and the its cries has proven to diverse

ELIANE ELIAS TIME AND AGAIN

“Time

has multiple meanings for me on this album . . . There are songs and musicians represented here from the earliest part of my musical journey to the present.”

—ELIANE ELIAS

THE NEW ALBUM BY THE MULTIPLE GRAMMYWINNER JAZZIZ CALLED “AN ARTIST BEYOND CATEGORY”

FEATURES AN INCREDIBLE RANGE OF GUEST MUSICIANS, FROM BRAZILAN SUPERSTAR DJAVAN, TO LEGENDARY GUITARIST BILL FRISELL

Over the course of her distinguished career, Eliane Elias has consistently displayed the ability to fully integrate the many artistic roles she takes on.

With her 2022 GRAMMY and Latin GRAMMY winning album Mirror Mirror, she showcased her mastery of the piano and improvisation in collaboration with fellow masters Chucho Valdés and Chick Corea.

On 2023’s GRAMMY and LATIN GRAMMY nominated follow up Quietude, her intoxicating vocals took center stage singing as she reinterpreted Brazilian standards.

Now, for her new album, Time And Again, Elias has put her songwriting skills at the forefront, composing 8 new songs and revisiting 3 others from across her storied career. The results are a stunning showcase for her alluring voice and masterful musicianship that will further cement her status as the reigning queen of Brazilian jazz while expanding her global audience yet again.

THE CHICK COREA ELEKTRIC BAND II PAINT THE WORLD

FIRST TIME ON VINYL

EXPANDED TO INLUDE THE RARE TRACK “FINAL FRONTIER”

AUDIO RESTORED BY ORIGINAL ENGINEER BERNIE KIRSCH

2LP SET CUT BY BERNIE GRUNDMAN

DELUXE GATEFOLD PACKAGE WITH PRINTED INNER-SLEEVES & NEW LINER NOTES BY BILL MILKOWSKI

In 1993, Chick Corea unveiled the second incarnation of his Elektric Band. With a brand new lineup featuring guitarist Mike Miller, bassist Jimmy Earl, drummer Gary Novak, and saxophonist Eric Marienthtal (the lone holder over from the original Elektric Band).

Recorded almost entirely live in single takes with Corea spending more time on acoustic piano than synths, Paint The World brought a fresh, new approach to the supercharged fusion of spontaneity and jaw-dropping chops that propelled the original Elektric Band to legendary status.

For its first-ever release on vinyl, Paint The World has been expanded to include “Final Frontier,” which was previously only heard on the Japanese and European CD release.

As with the original Elektric Band’s albums featured in our acclaimed box set of their complete studio recordings, The Elektric Band II has been brought up to the same standard, with meticuloulsy restored sound, expanded artwork, and new liner notes with contributions from members of the group.

Before they achieved stardom the world over with “It’s Raining Men,” Weather Girls Martha Wash and Izora Rhodes Armstead made waves in the thriving San Francisco music scene as Two Tons o’ Fun (and, later, The Two Tons). The powerhouse duo began working with gender- and genre-defying artist Sylvester at Fantasy Records, singing background and lead vocals on many of his most memorable recordings. In 1980, they struck out on their own and teamed with legendary Motown veteran Harvey Fuqua (who had also helmed Sylvester’s beloved albums) for two remarkable LPs on his Honey Records imprint. Fusing disco, dance, soul, funk, and R&B with roof-raising, gospel-tinged vocals, both Two Tons o’ Fun and Backatcha put the extraordinary voices of “Queen of Clubland” Wash and Armstead out front. Now, Real Gone Music and Second Disc Records are thrilled to celebrate the Two Tons with a complete 2-CD anthology that serves as a companion to last year’s acclaimed Sylvester release, Disco Heat: The Fantasy Years 1977-1981. Two Tons o’ Fun’s Get the Feeling: The Complete Fantasy/Honey Recordings brings together, on 2 CDs, both of the Two Tons’ albums – the first of which features Sylvester himself in the band – plus a host of rare single versions, remixes, and extended versions. Among the highlights are the top five Dance smashes “Earth Can Be Just Like Heaven” and “I Got the Feeling” as well as such R&B and Dance hits as “I Depend on You” and “Never Like This.” Both albums have long been overlooked; their last CD reissue was more than thirty years ago in the U.K.; this collection marks both albums’ U.S. CD debut, while most of the bonus tracks are also new to worldwide CD. For the occasion, all audio has been newly remastered by Mike Milchner, and we are remastering the two albums straight from the original tapes, so this collection will offer a big sonic upgrade. The collection also contains a deluxe booklet with liner notes by The Second Disc’s Joe Marchese Marchese and unseen photos. With the return of Two Tons o’ Fun, only one exclamation is appropriate: Hallelujah!

LAFAYETTEAFRO-ROCKBAND

Strut proudly presents the official remastered reissue of Lafayette Afro Rock Band's elusive funk/Afro original album, 'Malik,' originally released in 1974, pressed on black vinylLP.

In1971,anundocumentedseven-memberAfro-AmericanensembleknownastheBobby Boyd Congress made a transformative journey from the United States to France. Bandleader Frank Abel recollects, "We sensed that the soul and funk market was saturated back home, and our original plan was a brief 6-month stint in Paris. Surprisingly,weendedupstayingforadecade."UponleadsingerBobbyBoyd'sreturn to the U.S., the group rebranded as Ice and crossed paths with independent producer Pierre Jaubert, a seasoned studio professional with credits on groundbreaking recordings alongside Charles Mingus, John Lee Hooker, and Archie Shepp, among others.

Drawing inspiration from Motown's work ethic, Jaubert initiated regular rehearsals with Ice. He recalled, "I didn't want to mimic Berry, but with seven talented musicians collaborating daily, something unique emerged." The band, residing in Paris and immersed in the African-dominated Barbesse district, began infusing African elements into their music frequently performing with Paris-dwelling Camaroonian and legendary composerManuDibango.

Under the new moniker Lafayette Afro Rock Band, the group's music transitioned to predominantly instrumental compositions, featuring a denser Afro-funk sound. Their inauguralrecordingwiththenewname,'SoulMakossa,'includedacompellingrendition ofDibango'sclassicandtheimpactfulbreakin'Hihache.'Thesubsequentreleaseayear later, 'Malik,' refined their sound with the percussive Afro party jam 'Conga,' the atmosphericvocoderandpiano-ledpiece'Djungi,'andtherobustfunkof'DarkestLight.'

Despite a limited impact upon its initial release, 'Malik' found appreciation as hip-hop culture flourished in the '80s, establishing itself as a rich source of samples and riffs. 'Conga' was featured in the 'Ultimate Breaks And Beats' series, while the opening horn line from 'Darkest Light' became a pivotal hip-hop motif, employed by Jay-Z, Public Enemy,Wreckx'N'Effect,andmanyothers.

This remastered reissue, the first of its kind, meticulously crafted by The Carvery from the original tapes, showcases the album in its entirety and includes the full original artwork. PressedonblackvinylLP.

SOULMAKOSSA

Strut proudly presents the first official remastered reissue of the funk/Afro classic, LafayetteAfroRockBand's'SoulMakossa'from1973onblackvinylLP.

In 1971, an undocumented seven-member Afro-American ensemble known as the Bobby Boyd Congress made a transformative journey from the United States to France. Bandleader Frank Abel recollects, "We sensed that the soul and funk market was saturated back home, and our original plan was a brief 6-month stint in Paris. Surprisingly,weendedupstayingforadecade." Upon lead singer Bobby Boyd's return to the U.S., the group rebranded as Ice and crossed paths with independent producer Pierre Jaubert, a seasoned studio professional with credits on groundbreaking recordings alongside Charles Mingus, John Lee Hooker, and Archie Shepp, among others.

Drawing inspiration from Motown's work ethic, Jaubert initiated regular rehearsals with Ice. He recalled, "I didn't want to mimic Berry, but with seven talented musicians collaborating daily, something unique emerged." The band, residing in Paris and immersed in the African-dominated Barbesse district, began infusing African elements into their music frequently performing with Paris-dwelling Camaroonian and legendary composerManuDibango.

Rechristening themselves Lafayette Afro Rock Band, the group's musical direction shifted towards predominantly instrumental compositions, characterized by a weightier, more intricate Afro-funk sound. Their debut recording under this new moniker, 'Soul Makossa,' made a powerful impact with a dynamic rendition of Dibango's classic, coupled with the intense break of 'Hihache' and the contagious 'Nicky.' Initially released by Musidisc in France and later in the U.S. via Editions Makossa, the album omitted the titletrackduetopublishingclearanceissues.

Despite modest sales upon its initial release, the album's enduring influence became evident as hip-hop culture surged in the '80s, establishing it as a primary source for samples and riffs. The iconic 'Hihache' break found fame in Biz Markie's 'Nobody Beats The Biz,' and tracks from the album were lifted by LL Cool J, The Beatnuts, Kruder & Dorfmeister,andnumerousothers.

This remastered reissue, the first of its kind, meticulously crafted by The Carvery from the original tapes, showcases the album in its entirety and includes the full original artwork.PressedonblackvinylLP.

A SLICE OF SOFT PSYCH HEAVEN!

Sisters Wendy & Bonnie Flower’s radiant sunshine pop, breezy melodic arrangements and sophisticated soft rock flourishes make this a must-hear album! The CD version of Genesis includes the full original album mix, alternate vocal takes, early singles & demos!

One of the most remarkable unheard albums of 1969, Genesis, the sole release by San Francisco-based sisters Wendy and Bonnie Flower, has emerged as an acclaimed pop-psych touchstone. Brimming with melodic confections and laced with radiant, sisterly harmonies, the set’s breezy Brazilian splashes and soft-rock strains convey a sophistication that belies the artists? tender ages (Wendy, 17; Bonnie, 13).

Produced for reissue by WFMU’s Irwin Chusid (Raymond Scott, Esquivel, the Langley Schools Music Project) with Wendy & Bonnie’s full participation, Sundazed’s deluxe edition of this lost gem adds a wealth of early singles, newly discovered demos, and dramatically alternate vocal takes to the original release. A masterpiece of West Coast rock, Genesis will leave any sunshine pop lover positively beaming.

Description / Bio:

An album about his “love for Brazilian music and its many shapes and colors,” Sao Paulo-born Sessa’s debut Grandeza set the scene for who The New Yorker called a “songwriter cut from Veloso’s mold and blessed with a flair for the intimate, the enigmatic, and the licentious.’ Long out-of-print, Mexican Summer continues its exploration of Sessa’s musical vision with this special Fifth Anniversary Edition on Pink + Purple Splatter Vinyl (limited to 1000 copies).

Press Quotes:

· “Sensual and subtly orchestrated post bossa from the latter day Tom Zé” - Uncut

· “Sessa, a São Paulo native, purrs sinuous ballads that evaporate immediately into the ether. Like his singer-songwriter touchstones, both Brazilian and Leonard Cohenian, he cultivates an air of inscrutability and depth” - New Yorker

· “Acoustic guitars and percussion set up an intricate mesh of syncopation, and in his gentle tenor, with hushed backup vocals overhead, Sessa sings, ‘To the sound of the drums I’ll consume you.’ It’s a brief glimpse of a mystery.” - New York Times

· “A smooth, minimalist flourish on the vibrant musical heritage of Brazil” - Pitchfork

While Grandeza is about the softness of the human body, and the drunkenness of being in love, Estrela Acesa is about love’s fragility, and the hangover of it all.

After Sunrise, the new collaboration from Circles Around The Sun and Mikaela Davis reunites the disco cosmonauts and acclaimed harpist for further explorations of the synergy first showcased on the title track of CATS’ 2023 album, Language.

Comprised of two new original compositions, ‘Gloaming Way’ and ‘Moonbow’, and an inspired interpretation of Brazilian legend Sérgio Mendes’ ‘After Sunrise,’ the album features the first appearance of vocals on a Circles Around The Sun recording, sung by Davis. A live take on ‘Language’ rounds out the second side and brings the pairing full circle.

Once the endless night of the discotheque finally gives way to morning light, you may find yourself seaside as the sun peeks over the horizon. As the party rolls through the dawn and into the day, this is the soundtrack.

This is After Sunrise. If it’s nice, play it twice.

Dirty Three, Ahoy!

Emerging once again from the unending waves crashing upon our fragile time-craft (adrift on the eternal ocean, and taking on water), Dirty Three are a) back, b) tangled in seaweed, rank with saltwater and possessed of three rather ominous thousand-mile stares (at least!), and c) not wasting another minute as nothing is guaranteed. For their first album in over a decade yep, it’s been since 2012’s Toward the Low Sun they flew in, got together and started playing. End of story. What else is there to say or do but that? Music’s their language, their true love; they never stop listening to that. And like the label says, Love Changes Everything

The Dirty Three Warren Ellis, Mick Turner and Jim White formed up in Melbourne in 1992, to play with guitar drums and violin or viola, and within a couple years, they’d broken out out of Aust ralia, out of anything else they might have been inside of, to boot and got worldwide. Over the next ten years, they toured over and over the planet, ceaseless like, and cut seven albums out along the way. After this, their unique style of play, fitted together like puzzle pieces, was decoupled, more often than not, and pieced together in many other, fruitful collaborations with many other esteemed talents. Over the past 20 years, they’ve gotten together a few times, renewed the vow, revved the engines and played some shows, or made an album. Like now

These are the sounds of Dirty Three getting up to speed again:

 The original fury of their drums/guitar/violin-or-viola power trio, cutting three unique paths through the wild into sudden convergence

 Piano-plucked melodies ringing sweetly out over an undulating landscape flowing with guitar, drums, violin or viola, and synths! And broken hills, forests, lakes and deserts. And mountains rising in the distance...

 Mercurial shifts in mood; sudden descent from tumult of flights and heights into deep canyons of heart-struck adagio. Equally sudden second-winds, feisty activity in their extremities never really ceasing. Opening depths. Wariness and patience allowing them to get caught up in loops, become ambient, transcend, and then fight their way back in again. Their wild and wandering heart not simply a spry derivative of collective sea legs; a telepathy already old as time evidenced way back in the beginning of their thirty-yearsand-some run.

 Such mood! Once desolate fields pouring full of emotion, wandered into, come upon as if by happenstance (but actually sourced by the divining rods in their hands).

 All of it everything changed by love and bubbling up with the clarity of just-struck spring water; translucence giving way to muddy gushes of distortion dirty guitar, smears of violin, drums at times pounded upon beyond the microphones’ ability to receive...

And when received, and committed to “tape,” or whatever they used the master could well be carved in plates of amphibole this music has been untethered from its streams of consciousness and reconsidered as a recording; brought to bear through edits, overdubs and mixes, resequenced and made suite-like. Made into this album. These lot were born to be as weathered as they are today. Time doesn’t matter. They make their gathered wisdom of the ages sing like something new every time. It renews. And Love Changes Everything .

EIKO ISHIBASHI EVIL DOES NOT EXIST

Export Ban: Sales to

Evil Does Not Exist is an expansive new soundtrack undertaking from Eiko Ishibashi, a stellar further display of her ability to explicate the depths of the unspoken in her music. That it is also the soundtrack to the new Ryusuke Hamaguchi feature Drive My Car. That her music harmonizes with the delicate state of the planet, is a further profound achievement. At play here, though, is much more than fantastic

The impetus for this came when Eiko was asked by overseas promoters for a program of live performances backed by visuals. After some thought, she asked Hamaguchi if he would make something for her to use for this purpose. Says Eiko:

Hamaguchi adds:

Eiko of Eiko

Hitoshi

This led Hamaguchi to develop the script further, with sequences of dialogue. In the end, he made two works: Gift, a silent Ishibashi, and Evil Does Not Exist Gift and features Eiko

sation: each one a sovereign statement, made possible by its relationship with the other.

Eiko Jim O’Rourke played the guitar and mixed and mastered the recordings when they were done, eliciting further the necessary nuances of atmosphere and mood that one would expect in one Evil Does Not Exist was released last year in Japan and Europe, and has already won several prestigious awards (Best Picture – BFI London Film Festival, Asian Film Awards, Grand Jury Prize – Venice Film Festival, Best Score – Asian Film Awards).

Encountering Eiko making us happy that Evil Does Not Exist actually exists.

What might appear to be the most unlikely collaboration of 2024 proves also to be one of the most invigorating listens of the year! Shackleton & Six Organs of Admittance are in full aural/metaphysical alignment in their mutual effort to become Jinxed By Being

On first listen, it becomes immediately clear that this fusion of Shackleton’s bass-heavy cosmic dread and Six Organs’ ritual folksong makes total sense. Longtime listeners know that both Shackleton and Six Organs of Admittance have been unafraid to pursue their muse into any and all encroaching depth of darkness or outer boundary of potential dissonance in fact, that has always been their default mode, finding more of resonance way out there in the process.

They also share that ol’ maverick psychedelic ritual transcendental music vibe, don’t they? And a fascination with repetition and cycles. And a mutual inspiration drawn from alternative tunings and literature . . . all this considered, it’s been basically inevitable that Ben Chasny and Sam Shackleton would work together.

It took a while for them to find each other and once they did, it was almost eerie, how preordained it felt. When the music started coming, though that’s when it got really eerie. The mood rises from the music like smoke, a sure signal of total integration. Jinxed by Being finds Shackleton & Six Organs of Admittance delighting in their synthesis. Reveling in the unique sonic textures found in the collage, they launch small details that unfold into a massive space, then fracture into multiple lines of dimensional reality, crossing the stereo spectrum with enervating motility.

Here lies all the proof you need against the danger of categorizing by perceived genre rather than intention encounters l ike Shackleton & Six Organs of Admittance might never have found the linear space in which they sit next to each other, beyond alphabets and other institutional organizing principles. Rearrange your libraries or you might m iss getting Jinxed By Being.

CALIFORNIA SIGH EVERYWHERE ELSE!

Drag City is excited to present the first ever vinyl pressing of guitarist Lee Underwood ’s under-sung 1988 acoustic guitar opus, California Sigh Lee Underwood had been Tim Buckley ’s stalwart, inspiring, accompanying and being inspired by Buckley as they both navigated a heady set of changes in the late 60s and early 70s. Then, he abruptly stopped working as a professional musician, leaving behind a body of work, that, as noted by Eugene Chadbourne, was the work of “a loner, who didn’t quite march under any one flag whose improvisations involved the level of sophisticated harmonic development one finds in jazz floating as freely as Ornette Coleman.”

If, like us, you ever wondered, “whatever became of that trippy picker from those Buckley records”, then you too missed California Sigh when it first appeared in 1988. Then again, it was easy to miss a cassette-only private press release in the late 80s and highl y likely that Lee’s acoustic guitar-based instrumentals were filed without proper distinction among the avalanche of New Age cassettes in that era. So 35 years later, yet still in time, train your ears on the meditations of California Sigh! As Byron Coley ’s liner notes observe: “The music is guitar-based acoustic instrumental melodicism with a lovely tone and alternately ruminative and jazzy structuring. The playing is generally in the vein of William Ackerman and Alex de Grassi rather than progenitors like Basho and Fahey, although “Lady of the Streams” does display a bit of a Fahey lilt at times. Throughout these pieces there are also flashes of single string runs straight out of the Django Reinhardt playbook. But the overall mood is tranquil reflecting the musical joys Underwood found when surrounded by nature.”

The tenor of the production is transcendent to be sure. It had been years since Lee had moved from L.A. to Northern California, years since he traded the work of writing and recording songs for an editorial position at Down Beat. With his guitar leading the way again, an expansive mood is evident throughout California Sigh. Additionally, Lee had new love in his life the partnership of Sonia Crespi, whose warmth and inspiration shines through all the material. The playing of Chas Smith and Kevin Braheny Fortune, on pedal steel and soprano sax respectively, lend additional colors to Lee’s music on several songs, but it is largely the soulful depth of Lee’s guitar figures, limned by Steve Roach’s synthesizers and the Roach/Underwood co-production, that give dynamic shape and elevation to Lee’s lovely cycle of songs. And now, with this remastered vinyl edition, the air around the instruments both real and implied and the full sonic impact of California Sigh alternately gentle and mighty, like the natural world that inspired it is magnified incomparably.

In the years following the release of California Sigh, Lee wrote and recorded two solo piano CDs, Phantom Light and Gathering Light. Additionally, he wrote Blue Melody: Tim Buckley Remembered, a memoir of their time together, as well as three books of poems, Timewinds (2010), Diamondfire (2016) and Into Light (Poetic Matrix Press, 2021). He continues to live in Northern California.

California Sigh is “dedicated with love and respect” by Lee to his late wife, Sonia Crespi, for the friendship and inspiration she brought.

Drummer Chris Corsano is a tireless collaborator. Among the 150 or so albums that he’s contributed to over the past 25 years, only six have been credited to Chris alone, which makes the existence of The Key (Became The Important Thing [& Then Just Faded Away]) a rare instance of Chris going deep on his own vision. Indeed, this album finds him involved in every aspect of the process, from making the string-drums that the music is based upon, to playing all parts of the music, mixing them, and doing the cover art, too! Frankly, we’re surprised Chris didn’t self-release it as well but we’re also psyched that he didn’t. This is a special album, bringing his encompassing focus on free improvisation and noise into a granular fusion with acoustic experiments and ideations of hard rock riffing and the post-punk sound.

In Chris Corsano’s collaborations over time with Paul Flaherty, Joe McPhee, Dredd Foole, Michael Flower, Paul Dunmall, Bill Orcutt, Nate Wooley, Mette Rasmussen, C. Spencer Yeh, Ben Chasny & Sir Richard Bishop (as individuals, and together as Rangda), Bill Nace, Wally Shoup, Evan Parker and dozens of other players, it’s clear the vibe may get intense/heavy/OUT. Accessing this place, in itself, is an incredible calling but on The Key (Became The Important Thing [& Then Just Faded Away]), the intensity radiates entirely from inside Chris’s process, in conversation with himself. And that’s something that hit a bit different once he was done making it.

The pieces here were largely built out of Chris’s string drum playing, utilizing a setup he’s created involving a silicone string, stretched across a snare drum with a bridge. When the string is hit, it resonates the drum a conception similar to that of the banjo, but with more of a bass tone. Several songs focus on Chris playing a bass string drum with a full kit, while the basic parts of two other pieces (“I Don’t Have Missions,” “The Full-Measure Wash Down”) implied possibilities for full band arrangements which Chris was compelled to respond to himself. This isn’t the first time he’s made overdubbed music, Corsano-on-Corsano style jump in the Bandcamp time machine to hear the Corsano “Band”s 2010 release, High and Dry but it did have the effect of feeling unusually personal.

The process of exploration and discovery uniquely informed and shaped the music, implying not just sounds and passages, but structures of songs themselves. In addition to the several synapse-clearing full-band arrangements, Chris’s solo drumkit performances with the bass string drum take flight, the shape of their movement based on interaction with its marvelous acoustics. Further, Chris’s guitar playing on “I Don’t Have Missions,” a semi-unconscious attempt to Frankenstein together the influences of several of his six-string collaborators, locates a new awesome space in his music facilitated through and furthering the sounds found playing the string drum.

All the results on the tape, when listened back, found a higher order, transcending sequences of experimentation and technique, becoming much more than the sum of an internal conversation, standing together as a set of insistently compelling pieces of a whole. And so they became The Key (Became the Important Thing [& Then Just Faded Away]). They unlocked something in Chris Corsano and us too. Now it’s your turn…

Jeffrey Silverstein’s new release Roseway is named after his quiet, tree-lined neighborhood in Northeast Portland. While half of the tracks are pastoral ambient instrumentals and half are plainspoken lyrical numbers with ample twang and groove, each captures Silverstein’s striking comfort with his voice, his process, and his role as a bandleader. It’s New Age for the everyman: more cosmic than country and more accessible than esoteric.

This EP picks up where his breakthrough 2023 full-length Western Sky Music left off. A reinvention for Silverstein that traded homespun solo recordings for an expansive full-band sound, the LP was acclaimed by Aquarium Drunkard, The Portland Mercury, and more. On Roseway, he reunites with drummer Dana Buoy (Akron/Family) and bassist Alex Chapman and enlists pedal steel player Connor Gallaher (Anna St. Louis, Lana Del Rey), and recorded with Ryan Oxford (Y La Bamba, Rose City Band)

The vinyl version of Roseway features a b-side that includes the first pressing of Silverstein’s 2021 EP Torii Gates. Taken together, these two EPs feel like a bridge to each other: a document of an artist cresting the hill of his process and vision.

In the various stages of her musical solo and band projects, she incorporates influences from folk, ambient avant-garde music.Being five years old she escaped with her parents from Poland, which was under martial law, and had to learn at an early age what uprooting means. This experience is reflected in her music as an expression of personal sadness, compassion, but also despair about the state of the world.2021 she released her solo debut "11" on her own label Lavender Music. It was mainly characterized by accordion, zitherand her vocals. Her new album "Hiraeth" was recorded at Candy Bomber Studios in Berlin by Ingo Krauss, with a large number of musicians. Besides choir, double bass, lap steel guitar, drums, cello, horns , different organs and keyboards her original instruments accordion and zither still shine through from time to time. Joanna's voice sits unmistakable on top of the majestic, nearly monumental compositions which despite their richness always stay basic and delicate. "Hiraeth" is an untranslatable Welsh word that describes the longing for a home, a place or a feeling that no longer exists or never existed.The album will be released June 2024 on Duchess Box from Berlin.

Caribbean, Dance, Disco, Zouk

United States, Canada, Mexico

Cameroon

OVERVIEW:

A deep, zouk/electronic dancehall crossover track from Cameroonian artist Maréchal Papillon, including a brand new dub version from Canadian producer Poirier

Ferdinand ‘Maréchal’ Papillon was part of the makossa wave that moved from Cameroon to France and across the African diaspora in the 80s and 90s, bringing the sounds of rhythms of Douala and Yaoundé to the clubs and dancefloors of Paris. Although best known for his Sakissa style - his own uptempo take on the makossa of Cameroon - Papillon also regularly featured zouk and reggae influenced tracks on his albums, combining Caribbean and African influences into a unique sound that has stood the test of time.

‘Moulongo’ originally appeared on Papillon’s highly sought after 1995 album “Homme fort….je suis sérieux” and was recorded at Studio de la Madeleine in Paris. The Moulongo session features a who’s who of the Paris scene of the time - Aladji Touré and Toto Guillaume from Cameroon as well as Congolese guitar greats Ngoma Lokito and Nene Tchacou - and combines dancehall, zouk and makossa elements for a pan-African dancefloor sureshot.

OVERVIEW:

Cult soca disco 12”, produced by Leston Paul and originally released in 1984 - now available in full vocal and instrumental versions for the first time in 40 years.

Barbara Hernandez was working as a backing singer for Kool and the Gang in New York at the time the track was recorded, and the session featured their horn section as well as a who’s who of the Trinidad music scene for what would be Barbara’s only solo release. Suffering from poor distribution at the time of release, the 12” failed to make waves at the time but is now lovingly remastered and cut loud, a sure fire dancefloor filler.

On his 2023 release Arc Of Day Danny Paul Grody (solo, Tarentel, The Drift) gathered an ensemble of musicians and gave us compositions that conjured not just bird-like flights but the supportive skeleton of a bird itself - intricate, delicate, but able to carry a body (or a listener) through bright, airy spaces. That same ensemble, since renamed the Danny Paul Grody Duo, now bring us Arc Of Night - a sister collection to Arc Of Day, shaped from core collaborations between Grody and percussionist/drummer Rich Douthit (The Drift) along with additions on select tracks from Trevor Montgomery on electric bass and Chuck Johnson on pedal steel guitar. Though coming from the same musical bones as its sibling album, the darker tones and predominance of electric guitar on Arc Of Night evoke a different aviary figure - the nightbird. There are moments in these pieces that feel like stepping out at twilight as a single nightjar begins its song. Other voices soon answer, inviting us to say goodnight to sleep, to stay with them till sunrise. Other tracks give the feeling of waking at 3 AM - hearing a far off train, the wind, the deep drone of the hour, and above it all the cry of some nightbird hunting for companionship - or prey - in the darkness. There’s terror on Arc Of Night, specifically the terror of not knowing whether one is awake or dreaming, but there is also comfort - the world, however dark, is still there outside the window, outside the ear, and even terror has its place in the flow of things.

Day will come but thankfully not yet.
