SHAME Songs of Praise About the album

Shame thrives on confrontation. Whether it be the seething intensity crackling throughout debut LP Songs of Praise or the adrenaline-pumping chaos that unfolds at Shame’s shows, it’s all fueled by feeling. NPR’s Bob Boilen noted, “Of the 70 bands I saw at this year’s SXSW, the band Shame seemed to mean what they played more than any other.” Comprised of vocalist Charlie Steen, guitarists Sean Coyle-Smith and Eddie Green, bassist John Finerty, and drummer Charlie Forbes, the London-based five-piece began as school boys. From the outset, Shame built the band up from a foundation of DIY ethos while citing The Fall and Wire among its biggest musical influences. Utilizing both the grit and sincerity of that musical background, Shame carved out a niche in the South London music scene and then barreled fearlessly into the angular, thrashing post-punk that would go on to make up Songs of Praise, their Dead Oceans debut. From “Gold Hole,” a tongue-in-cheek takedown of rock narcissism, to lead single “Concrete” detailing the overwhelming moment of realizing a relationship is doomed, to the frustrated “Tasteless” taking aim at the monotony of people droning through their day-today, Songs of Praise never pauses to catch its breath.

Release date: 01/19/18

Following on the success of their two previous albums for FatCat, which were praised on both sides of the pond as “breakneck, open-eared, positivist post-punk canter” (NME) and “direct, smart, catchy, and extremely punk” (Pitchfork) – the band returns to shake some asses with an agenda yet again. The album was produced by Edwyn Collins (Orange Juice) at his studio in Helmsdale, Scotland, who brought his taut post-punk ear to the Shopping’s acclaimed evolution of brittle ‘70s polti-punk.

If the band’s approach was prescient in the past, our current political landscape renders them ever more indicative of the restlessness of youth’s current dilemma. Rachel Aggs (vocals, guitar) reflects, “We wrote the album submerged in a political Only available to North America, South America atmosphere that felt particularly chaotic and disorientating. It was tempting to take ourselves a little more seriously on this record but I feel as though we held on to our sense of humor and our general irreverence in the face of so many oppressive systems.” The album’s title (established before any of the songs were written), The Official Body, is a play on the idea of official bodies of power and control, “the mystical 6 00116 51479 0 powers that be” as bassist Billy Easter deems them, as well as the construct of a FAT0147 LP-C1 physical body that fits within the societal paradigm of what is “acceptable.” UPC: 600116514790

Collins helped the band develop their sound, diverting the setup away from the standard drums, bass, guitar stance that’s been the band’s staple. The album is the first to incorporate synths to Shopping’s frenetic dance, ushering in an updated line of post-punk progressiveness. “We introduced a Novation Bass station and drum pads which has amped up the party vibe on this new album,” says Aggs, “and possibly introduced some surprising elements including a song with no guitar at all – “Wild Child.” The band manages to walk the razor thin line between inspiring euphoric dance and shouldering societal anxiety. They face down gender politics and environmental peril (“Suddenly Gone”), breakdown social media as both a vital emotional mask and conduit of spirit (“Wild Child”). The Official Body stays true to the minimal dance-punk ethos of Shopping’s previous releases, fans of which will undoubtedly find this logical unfolding of their musical approach thoroughly satisfying.

Vinyl: Vision Songs Vol. 1 (1984) is the LARAAJI album like no other, located at the intersection of new age and gospel. It is both his outlier and magnum opus, the feel-good DIY tape of the century. Discovered busking in Washington Square Park by Brian Eno in the late 70s, engagement with the eternal flow has led Laraaji to, seemingly by magic, emerge as the most beloved avatar of the unstoppable new age music revival of recent years. Now Vision Songs rewrites Laraaji’s musical history. Unlike the many instrumental, free form albums upon which his reputation was built, this is an album of songs , with lyrics, verses, choruses. Vision Songs is literally a revelation -- of a master songwriter whose unbelievably catchy best compositions such as “We Shall Be Lifted”, “All Of A Sudden”, and “Is This Clear?” belong in any great American songbook.

Casio synth jams recorded at spiritual retreat guest rooms and a tiny bedroom on the Upper West Side, lysergicallyspectacular anthems for a continually arriving new moment, “channeled,” as Laraaji states in the album’s eloquent liner notes, “from the sky,” previously available in an edition of 100 cassettes sold at yoga retreats and on the streets of New York City, Vision Songs is humbly offered on vinyl, CD, and streaming for the very first time.

This is where this is going on, this is where this is taking place, this is how this is going on. Is this very clear?

Following the resounding success of their two-volume, Yin-and-Yang song cycle Occult Architecture, the Portland psych heroes in Moon Duo return with a limited edition 12" paying tribute to two of their musical heroes — Iggy Pop and Alan Vega. Moon Duo’s versions of these classic songs push them into bold new sonic territory, and show that Ripley Johnson and Sanae Yamada’s expansive musical imaginations are still firing on all cylinders. “We started playing ‘No Fun’ after BBC6 Radio asked us to record an Iggy song for his 70th birthday. We added it to our set to work it out for the session and kept playing it every night because everyone loves that song. We worked up a version of ‘Jukebox Babe’ because our sound engineer Larry got it stuck in his head and was singing it all the time. We figured, we may as well play it if we’re going to hear it all the time. The Stooges and Iggy, and Suicide/Alan Vega/Martin Rev, are all huge influences on us. But we never want to do faithful covers of great songs, because what’s the point? So we tried to push both of the tracks in less obvious directions, incorporating other influences, like California psych and cosmic disco, giving them more of a summer vibe. We knew Sonic Boom was working outside of Lisbon, so we asked him to produce the tracks, recording them in August for maximal summer heat.” -Moon Duo, October 2017

STRAND OF OAKS Harder Love About the album

‘Harder Love’ is the latest from Strand of Oaks, a collection of Tim Showalter’s original recordings for the album ‘Hard Love.’ Pairing the earliest versions ‘Hard Love’ tracks with previously-unreleased material (including some songs deemed “too weird” for the official release), ‘Harder Love’ feels like an alternate dimension. A whole lot stranger and even more raw, it’s like the tripped out, spiritual brother to its predecessor. “These songs are me unedited…I just want people to have them. I’m sick of overthinking and talking too much about the process and the narrative.” And it’s Showalter’s desire for a wholly unfiltered approach that defines ‘Harder Love,’ a listening experience that often feels like scrolling through the FM dial, not quite getting the station, and listening through the static anyway. Out January 19th, 2018, limited to 500 copies.

The key influences for Hanz’ upcoming EPs lie outside music – “They are heavily influenced by film. Things like pacing, tension, comic relief, and climactic moments.” “Plasty I,” his long-overdue new EP, is the first of two recordings that form a kind of mirror shot of each other – you could say one is a frontal shot, while the other a back shot. Both EPs developed in sessions that started right before the re-issue of "Reducer" (on Tri Angle) in 2015.“ I was watching a lot of films and realized the ones I appreciated the most were shorter in length – films like "Tetsuo, The Iron Man". Over a year or so of working, I decided to trim compositions down and get to the point in underneath twenty minutes per EP. I named this work "Plasty" due to its constant structural changes, it’s as if the sound is being operated on surgically.”He adds - “I like tension and action. I edit my music like a movie, placing pieces of a song inside of other songs. Certain parts / melodies from part one reappear in part two and vice versa. That’s my way of making these EPs compliment each other by making them function like puzzles. The temporary moments on both EPs are for you to get better acquainted with this sonic environment. For example, the track "A Breathing House" is a short vignette on “Plasty I” that is based on the imagery of a house with breathing windows, doors, and floors.” Cinematic influences are joined by inspirations from “the Surrealists” and the "cut-up" technique” (of William Burroughs & Brion Gysin). “Plasty” is the sound of an artist evolving and emerging through exploration, it’s the sound of an artist breaking free."

Limited edition, white labels, 300 copies pressed. “Hanz has taken your worst childhood nightmare and turn’t it into an audible hallucination of adventure, leading you down corrosive corridors of music that were only familiar in a dimension of yourself.” Tiny Mix Tapes “Imagine a drone strike simultaneously infiltrating DJ Shadow's Entroducing… and UNKLE's Psyence Fiction, or Flying Lotus and Run the Jewels collaborating, amping up the abstract and dousing the entirety in cinematic verve, and it might sound something like Hanz.”- Exclaim “Hanz approaches music with a willful disregard for any rules, norms, or expectations.

CHASTITY CHAINS12” EP

• Hometown: Whitby, Ontario • The 2016 reissue of TAPE EP saw favorable coverage from Stereogum, The Fader, Noisey, The 405, and more • 2018 tour dates are forthcoming

Channeling the feeling of youth on the fringe, Chastity focuses on the earnest connections found amongst the pent up suburban blue-collar. Living in Whitby Ontario, Brandon Williams creates music in a space of urgency, melody and chaos - an artifact of youth culture that bridges isolation and collectivity. Chastity is a protean temperament in punk, in recent history sharing the stage with Priests and Fucked Up, the project carries in the ethic of solidarity, antagonistic to the status quo.

CT -269 01 . Ma nning H ill 02 . Chains 03 . Fles h 04 . In s t i t u t i o n 0 5 . Po p ul ar B e li ef

Chains is a brief but loaded EP that takes the bull by the horns. Each track is crafted with the very mindfulness Williams finds so essential. It’s a level of creative intent that has defined Chastity since the project’s inception, but is perhaps most palpable to date on Chains - a progression in intensity resulting more from a rapidly changing world than the artist themself. Williams explains, “when I’m drawn to write I’m either sad or I am pissed. The world has changed since writing my last release, and both the sad and pissed feelings have since increased.”

RELEASE DATE: JANUARY 19th, 2018 GENRE: ALTERNATIVE / INDIE EP UPC: 817949014155 EP LIST: $19.98 “Haunting, brutal and beautiful anthems for suburban dysphoria…a call to arms for all the EP FORMAT: 12” EP lost and tortured souls sticking it out in the burbs.” –BEAT Mag EP BOXLOT: 50 EXPORT: WW, EX: CANADA “Leans on everything from Teenage Fanclub to Hum, exposing an emotional side amidst VINYL NON-RETURNABLE the muscular and soaring guitars.” –CLRVYNT •

“On ‘Chains’, the new song from Chastity, Brandon Williams returns his project to its noise-punk roots. The Whitby, Ontario artist was bespoke and sludge-y on January’s ‘Peroxide’ 7”, but on the title track from his upcoming EP, he’s all snarls and curved riffs.” –The FADER
