SADDLE CREEK DOCUMENT SERIES

DOCUMENT 018: claire rousay - Sigh In My Ear claire rousay’s music zeroes in on personal emotions and the minutiae of everyday life—voicemails, haptics, environmental recordings, stopwatches, whispers and conversations—layering them with electronics in patient, poetic arrangements and exploding their signi cance. rousay’s collection of eld recordings are layered with broad strings, midi instruments, piano and vocals to create abstracted environments. Melancholic autotune and harmonized vocals featuring Helena Deland melt into the rst track, Sigh In My Ear . While Your First Armadillo enters like the sun rising over a hill on a summer day.

Acclaimed experimentalists Lawrence English (AUS) and Lea Bertucci (NYC) travel the world on Chthonic, a shape-shifting ambient collaboration. The pair have impressive resumes. In the last five years alone, English has collaborated with William Basinski, Loscii and Merzbow, and Bertucci has, over a decade-plus, released numerous wide-ranging, innovative releases and presented her music at prestigious museums around the world: MOMA, Walker Museum, ReWire, Unsound. Here they branch out into new approaches (trans-hemispheric collaboration) and instruments (Bertucci plays cello, flute, violin and lap steel). The results are deeply compelling and rooted in vastness of geological scale and time. It’s all here – the emotion, the scale, the density, the fear, the wonder, the dirt. Chthonic is for everyone, but if you’re a head, you already know this is a special release. Get in quick while there’s enough wax to go around.

King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard - Live In Brisbane (Fuzz Club Official Bootleg)

3x LP Box Set FC192BOXR 5060978390294

Stream link: https://kinggizzard.bandcamp.com/album/live-inbrisbane-21 Pressing Info: Triple LP box-set on coloured 180g vinyl. Includes 62x62cm poster. Artwork and remaster exclusive to Fuzz Club Bootlegs. This King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard’s ‘Live In Brisbane’ bootleg album was recorded when the prolific Australian group descended on The Princess Theatre in Brisbane, Australia on December 19th 2021. Where much of the ongoing Fuzz Club Official Bootleg series has highlighted King Gizz’s heavier and microtonal works, the Brisbane show was a rare stripped-back acoustic performance showcasing the band ’s more laidback side - revisiting early fan-favourites from ‘Paper

Mache Dream Balloon’, ‘Quarters’, ‘Oddments’, ‘Gumboot Soup’, ‘I’m In Your Mind Fuzz’ and ‘Float Along - Fill Your Lungs’. This bootleg is remastered exclusively for Fuzz Club and arrives as a triple LP box set with new and exclusive artwork by Elzo Durt. Each box-set also includes a 62cm x 62cm poster.
