Exclusive to this collection is Volume 6, three previously unreleased tracks that run the gamut from found-sound collage to moody, piano-driven soundtracks to obscure erotic horror films that never existed (but should have). Available on triple-gatefold CD Digipak or Deluxe Gatefold 2xLP, the vinyl features four mind-blowing laser etchings – one on each side of the record, beginning where the grooves of the music end. It's pretty, and pretty unbelievable.

MATANA ROBERTS COIN COIN Chapter Two: Mississippi Moonchile CD / 180gLP / DL
STREET DATE: 01 OCTOBER 2013 The spokeswoman for a new, politically conscious and refractory jazz scene. – Jazzthetik Roberts gives her audience a long look at something ghostly, tragic, and beautiful. – Peter Margasak, Chicago Reader A major talent. – The Wire
CST098
COIN COIN Chapter Two: Mississippi Moonchile is the much-anticipated new installment of Matana Roberts’ unique and forward-looking project. Guided by an aesthetic practice she has dubbed ‘panoramic sound quilting’ (partly in homage to the literal handicraft heritage of her patrilineal line), COIN COIN finds Roberts conjuring some of the most nuanced, thoughtful and substantial American liberation music of the 21st century.
ARTIST: MATANA ROBERTS TITLE: COIN COIN Chapter Two:
COIN COIN has also been a profoundly generous and collaborative process for Roberts, who has been developing various chapters of the COIN COIN cycle with a wide range of musicians from diverse backgrounds over many years. The hugely acclaimed Chapter One: Gens de couleur libres was the culmination of two years of regular visits to Montréal and featured fifteen musicians assembled from that city's out-jazz, experimental and avant-rock scenes. Chapter Two: Mississippi Moonchile was developed for a more intimately woven New York jazz sextet and was recorded with this group in late 2012, following several years of local and international performances of the piece with this line-up.
1. invocation 2. humility draws down blue 3. all nations 4. twelve sighed 5. spares of the world 6. secret covens 7. river ruby dues 8. confessor haste 9. amma jerusalem school
Mississippi Moonchile takes the next leap forward in Roberts’ iconoclastic and complex project of memory and recuperation, where historical and contemporary musical tropes, fragmentary spoken and sung narratives, and Matana’s cascading alto saxophone are supported by prodigiously talented players on piano (Shoko Nagai), trumpet (Jason Palmer), double bass (Thomson Kneeland), drums (Tomas Fujiwara) and operatic tenor voice (Jeremiah Abiah). While demarcated by 18 titles and track IDs, the album presents an uninterrupted, incantatory swirl of through-composed music, where thematic structure and free improvisation are propelled in continual and fluid co-existence. While Chapter One was marked by more defined set pieces, stark juxtapositions, and the epic cacophony of a sprawlingly unconventional big band, Chapter Two unfolds as a cohesive album-length piece unto itself, channeling the drama and catharsis of Gens de couleur libres into something more measured and circumscribed, playing with notions of dignity, rarefaction and restraint. The inclusion of a male operatic singer contributes significantly to the tone and tension of Mississippi Moonchile in this respect, and operates as a fascinating foil to Roberts’ own voice, which alternates between splintered ‘wordspeak’ and deeply soulful singing. The six players are in a perpetual motion of coalescence and divergence, where melodic themes, occasional ostinato passages, and variously deployed literal voices (‘There are some things I can't tell you about…’) serve to rally the overriding theme of individual narratives and personal expressions as struggles with, celebrations of and threads within collective history. The contortions of empowerment, pride, shame, suffering, eulogy, empathy, liberation and transcendence are Matana’s raw material in the broadest and most specific senses; she has given this raw material another beautiful and compelling shape in the second chapter of the COIN COIN story. Illustrated once again with Roberts’ own graphic scores, COIN COIN Chapter Two: Mississippi Moonchile is gorgeously packaged in heavyweight 100% recycled paperboard jackets on both CD and 180gLP formats. Vinyl includes an art poster and DL coupon.

LAND OF KUSH The Big Mango CD / 180gLP / DL
STREET DATE: 01 OCTOBER 2013 “Sam Shalabi has raised the bar for modern psychedelic music by composing this epic suite for his 20-piece Land of Kush orchestra. Utilizing African, Middle Eastern, Indian, jazz, rock, and folkloric sources, The Big Mango weaves a seamless montage of styles in a transcendent way that is rarely, if ever, achieved. A singular cohesive statement built around four key tracks written for four different female vocalists…it will demand your attention from start to finish.” – Alan Bishop (Sun City Girls/Sublime Frequencies) Osama (Sam) Shalabi moved to Cairo in 2011, settling in an apartment one block from Tahrir Square, in the midst of Egypt's ‘Arab Spring’. Shalabi describes The Big Mango, his new and phenomenal work for his Land Of Kush big band, as “a love letter to Cairo” framed by “the beautiful, surreal madness of the city…as joyous, horrific, historical events were unfolding”. The music was also inspired by time spent in Dakar, where in Senegal’s music scene Sam experienced parallels to another of his central aesthetic and political touchstones, Brazilian Tropicalia, in the sense of a “positivity, complexity and radicalism in art that was also playful and joyous and wasn’t necessarily part of a ‘revolution’ but seemed to be a form of innate radicalism”. In tandem with the relative openness of Dakar’s Islamic society – with the much more prominent role and presence of women in public and private life and the relaxed physicality and sensuality of the culture in general – Senegalese music offered a powerful counterpoint and feeling of promise for Egypt's own future. “The Big Mango” is one of the many nicknames for Cairo, but for Shalabi it also evokes the succour and sensuality of southern hemispheric music more generally, in this relation to broader socio-political movements. Montréal remains Shalabi's home base and the city to which he briefly returned towards the end of 2012 to reconvene the troupe of players that have helped him realize his large-scale works under the Land Of Kush moniker. Working through The Big Mango score with these local musicians culminated in two ecstatic live performances and a recording session at Montréal’s Hotel2Tango studio. This third album by Land Of Kush is arguably the group’s most focused and immediately satisfying. For Shalabi, gender and Arab culture has been a central theme, one he took up explicitly on the previous Kush album Monogamy (2011), and which similarly drives The Big Mango, where once again a series of female vocalists drawn from Montréal’s indie rock community anchor the work and convey what in most of the North African Arab world remains a profoundly unrealized though burgeoning spirit of gender equality, participation, expression and liberation. This promise is at the heart of Shalabi’s “love letter”. The Big Mango opens with a bubbling Fauvist stew of balafon, flute, electronics and vocalizations which abruptly segue into solo piano and saxophone improvisations – an introductory set of musical mating calls that invoke the album’s deeper conceptual and formal preoccupations. The libidinal energy of rock n’ roll is then re-situated in a heterodox Middle Eastern context as the album’s centerpiece songs unfold: ”The Pit”, “Mobil Nil”, “Drift Beguine” and “The Big Mango” each marked by propulsive female vocal performances from Ariel Engle, Katie Moore, Elizabeth Anka Vajagic and Molly Sweeney respectively. Underpinning each of these singers is some of Land Of Kush’s s most melodically and rhythmically compelling music, conjuring a post-modern psychedelia that is truly sui generis. The band delivers the grooves and soloists unleash excursions more fluidly than ever; for many of these players, it’s the third time around embracing Shalabi’s music, getting inside the spirit of the score, and following his conduction. In combination with the peaking intensity and electricity of Sam’s compositional vision, The Big Mango coheres, sparkles and soars: a distillation of the sonic trajectory Land Of Kush has been charting for the past six years.

Originally a 1988 co-release withRough Trade in the U.S. and Stephen Pastel's 53rd & 3rd label in Scotland,Jamboree has been out of print on vinyl since 2004. Includes the original version of "Indian Summer," since covered by the likes of Ben Gibbard &R.E.M. Nail it to your turntable and arch your back to the primitive beat. "With Beat Happening, the greatness can seem understated because anyone probably could do what they did, but when considering the egos most acts gain from notoriety in any form, the fact they remained so steadfastly themselves is a landmark for all who embrace true expression to appreciate.Jamboree is the perfect witness to this. The subtle, steadfast drum beat is the chant of a revolution." -Tiny Mix Tapes "The sound of three people bashing--at instruments, at words, at music, whatever, but bashing all the time...this LP inspires all the way through, testament to the DIY aesthetic; don't think about it, just do it...It's totally fresh in its minimalism, a solid argument for going out and starting a band just to see what might happen. Beat Happening makes it work--who's next?" CMJ, March, 1988

Numero group Four Mints: Gently Down Your Stream
Catalog Number: Jr013 Artist: Four Mints Title: Gently Down Your Stream Release Date: 10/01/13 UPS: 825764601313 Available formats: lp Genre: Soul Vinyl is not returnable
Gently Down Your Stream marked a creative zenith within the Columbus, Ohio, soul scene, at the juncture of the 1960s and ‘70s. The Four Mints were one of the most influential local group harmony outfits of their era and—with assistance from Columbus doyen and Capsoul purveyor Bill Moss—among the few to release a full length LP. The roster of backing musicians hired to provide aural landscaping reads like a Midwest supergroup, with surprising appearances from Indianapolisbased vibraphonist Billy Wooten and drummer Bobby Allen of the Fabulous Originals from Dayton, Ohio. And though most of the material on 1973’s Gently had been previously released as 45s, the collection—five singles and one priceless track saved from the scrap heap—gives witness to a world-class vocal quartet at its professional and intuitive peak. Under the watchful eye of arranger and mega-talent Dean Francis, the Four Mints pour forth from your speakers soulful, faithful and clear, but perhaps more importantly, intrinsically homegrown and utterly honest.

Lodged between a heartbreak and a smoke break, Kathy Heideman’s Move With Love wandered off I-5 somewhere just south of Hungry Valley State Vehicular Recreation Area and broke down. At its dusty roadside, cheap truck-stop java flows over plaintive coffeehouse tunes concerning “Bob” and “Need.” Her session hand’s lanky, echo-laden guitar might’ve twanged a bit strong for the typical sandal-shoed hitchhiker, who’d have fell harder for Dylanesque grandeur on “The Earth Won’t Hold Me.” More Bakersfield than Laurel Canyon, and set to walking in 1976 by the one-off Dia imprint in a plain-Jane, black-on-white sleeve, Heideman’s lone LP suffered the geographical misfortune of having ripened in the presilicon orchards of San Jose, California, far from more marketable realms—Emmylou’s backyard, say, or Joni Mitchell’s summery lawn. Heideman herself faded out thereafter, packing her shaken, singular voice into a rustic suitcase, moseying on, and leaping into the moving sun.

The idea for Lovers Without Borders started at the wedding of LAKE co-founders Eli Moore and Ashley Eriksson, a romantically appropriate beginning. Karl Blau was singing and playing sax in the wedding cover-band, and Alex Parrish was taken with the sight of Karl just holding a sax on stage. "It would be so cool to build a band around that image," he thought to himself. Karl Blau, already a prolific and vetted K artist, was totally on board. With the addition of Jessica Bonin and her baby-drum kit, Lovers Without Borders was born. Their much anticipated entry into the International Pop Underground series of 45 rpm 7” singles, “Detective” (IPU142) will see its release on October 1st, 2013. On Valentine's Day, 2012, Karl, Alex, and Jessica drove down from Skagit Valley together to record “Detective” (IPU142) with Calvin Johnson at Dub Narcotic Studio. They donned white lab coats (per Dub Narcotic tradition) and created their own legacy in the IPU catalog, though not without their admiration of early K legends in tow. “2nd Most Beautiful Girl In The World,” the second track, was written by Lois Maffeo. "I’m a big, big fan of the 7”s she did with Pat Maley as the duo Courtney Love. The Uncrushworthy EP is my favorite entry in the IPU series. I had an idea of covering the whole thing, but Karl gently persuaded me that we should do the one song. What a lady,” says Alex. “My Harem Shall All Have Hashbrowns” is the band's tribute to Maher Shalal Hash Baz – jazzy harmonies and sax solos galore. “Eddy” is their straight up Stones rip, a playfully melodic tribute to Eddy Blau and his fierce independent streak. “Detective,” Alex says, “is just a song. It's no big deal.” But Lovers Without Borders is a very big deal. Like the K artists that have gently carved their names in the American pop hall of fame before them, their delightful, sweet melodies and honest, joyful approach makes this record a necessary treasure for K lovers everywhere (K staff included).
