John Carpenter Lost Themes 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
track listing: Vortex (4:47) Obsidian (8:26) Fallen (4:46) Domain (6:36) Mystery (4:37) Abyss (6:09) Wraith (4:32) Purgatory (4:41) Night (3:40) Key Information / Selling Points: Hometown / Key Markets: Los Angeles, New York, Austin, San Francisco, Chicago
John Carpenter has been responsible for much of the horror genre’s most striking soundtrack work in the fifteen movies he’s both directed and scored. The themes can instantly flood his fans’ musical memory with imagery of a menacing shape stalking a babysitter, a relentless wall of ghost-filled fog, lightning-fisted kung fu fighters, or a mirror holding the gateway to hell. The all-new music on Lost Themes asks Carpenter’s acolytes to visualize their own nightmares.
Selling Points / Key Press: • The first solo album of non-soundtrack work by the legendary director/composer of Halloween, Assault on Precinct 13, Escape from New York and more • Black-and-white swirl vinyl limited to 1000 copies • Sacred Bones Records website experienced record traffic following initial announcement on Halloween 2014 • Artist-attended release parties planned in Los Angeles and at the Brooklyn Academy of Music • Coverage confirmed by Rolling Stone, Newsweek, NPR, The Hollywood Reporter, Pitchfork, among other highprofile music and lifestyle outlets RiYL: Ennio Morricone, Goblin, Mike Oldfield
“Lost Themes was all about having fun,” Carpenter says. “It can be both great and bad to score over images, which is what I’m used to. Here there were no pressures. No actors asking me what they’re supposed to do. No crew waiting. No cutting room to go to. No release pending. It’s just fun. And I couldn’t have a better set-up at my house, where I depended on (collaborators) Cody (Carpenter, of the band Ludrium) and Daniel (Davies, who wrote the songs for I, Frankenstein) to bring me ideas as we began improvising. The plan was to make my music more complete and fuller, because we had unlimited tracks. I wasn’t dealing with just analogue anymore. It’s a brand new world. And there was nothing in any of our heads when we started other than to make it moody.” As is Carpenter’s style, repetition is the key to the thundering power of these tracks, their energy swirling with shredding chords, soaring organs, unnerving pianos and captivating percussion. Horror fans will be reminded of Carpenter’s past works, as well as ancestors like Mike Oldfeld’s Tubular Bells and Goblin’s Suspiria. “They’re little moments of score from movies made in our imaginations,” Carpenter says. “Now I hope it inspires people to create films that could be scored with this music.”

MATANA ROBERTS Coin Coin Chapter Three: river run thee CD / 180gLP / DL
RELEASE DATE: 03 FEBRUARY 2015
“Roberts is carving out her own aesthetic space, startling in its originality and gripping in its historic and social power.” – Peter Margasak “Primarily interrogating her own sense of identity as an African American woman, Roberts calls upon numerous other voices – from her family's history, her culture's mythology – to create living artifacts of collective cultural memory: simultaneously disorienting and exhilarating in their chaotic multiplicity.” – The Quietus “Roberts is a major talent.” – The Wire
Matana Roberts is one of the most acclaimed, socio-politically conscious and aesthetically intrepid composers, band leaders, horn players and experimental sound practitioners of the past decade. Her multi-chapter Coin Coin work, which Constellation began documenting in 2011, has placed her at the forefront of stylistic innovation and radicalization, transcending jazz – or any other genre boundaries – while confirming the deep substance and soul that guides her compositional agenda. Following the critical accolades that the first two Coin Coin chapters have thus far received, the past year has been marked by further career-defining recognition for her body of iconoclastic work: Roberts was a recipient of both the Herb Alpert Award in the Arts and the Doris Duke Impact Award in 2014. Roberts has long employed the phrase “panoramic sound quilting” to describe the process surrounding her Coin Coin work. The third chapter in her Coin Coin series finds Roberts implementing this metaphor most explicitly, constructing a sound art tapestry from field recordings, loop and effects pedals, and spoken word recitations, alongside her saxophone and singing voices. Coin Coin Chapter Three: river run thee could arguably be considered first and foremost a vocal work, and notwithstanding its experimental and esoteric structure, a deeply narrative work as well. Not unlike 2013’s Coin Coin Chapter Two: Mississippi Moonchile, the new chapter unfolds as an uninterrupted album-length flow, this time in what Roberts calls “a fever dream” of sonic material, woven in surrealist fashion. Fragments of traditional song act as the main touchstones on the album, with Roberts’ singing voice riding atop waves of radiophonic texture, layered spoken word and an often dislocated, wandering horn. Working once again with engineer Radwan Ghazi Moumneh, and returning again to Montreal's Hotel2Tango studio (the location for her Chapter One recording in 2010), Roberts ran the river run thee tape back multiple times, adding new layers in real time, from start to finish (as opposed to calculated, isolated overdubs). The result is a visceral audio document that combines structure and improvisation in the fullest sense: not just in the playing and performing, but in the very marrow of the work's compositional DNA. It is also, for the first time in the Coin Coin cycle, a solo work, emerging from a lengthy solitary road trip Roberts took through the American South in early 2014, amassing historical and documentary information through interviews, site visits and field recordings.
Coin Coin Chapter Three: river run thee signals yet another highly adventurous and socially engaged definition of what Jazz can mean in this day and age, and a fascinating extension of the Coin Coin cycle, where rather than surfacing and reactivating through the group dynamics of a musical ensemble, history is inhaled and exhaled through a solitary practice seeking to evoke and echo its tangled thicket of febrile strands.

Nite Fields
Depersonalisation (LP / CD) 01. Depersonalised 02. Fill The Void 03. You I Never Knew 04. Come Down 05. Pay for Strangers 06. Hell / Happy 07. Prescription 08. Like A Drone 09. Winter’s Gone POINTS OF INTEREST • Debut full-length from this Australian 4-piece band • Mixed predominately by HTRK’s Nigel Yang • Distortion, echo, bass heavy shoegaze and misery-drenched pop mixed on top of swirling walls of guitar • Press handled by Motormouth • Commercial, College/Non Commercial & Satellite Radio handled by Total Recluse RELEASE BIO Like the chorus on “Come Down” that makes the downward trajectory sound ornate and beautiful, the debut LP, Depersonalisation, from Sydney-based band Nite Fields, is sparse and cold yet inviting and intimate at the same time. Lead singer and songwriter Danny Venzin is opinionated, passionate, and uncompromising, whether releasing works on his own label Lost Race or maintaining his diligent focus on a unified (though not narrow-minded) Nite Fields aesthetic, regardless of what music is currently in fashion. His band mates Chris Campion, Liza Harvey and Michael Whitney consist of deeply immersed players in a tight-nit local D.I.Y. scene Australian iconoclast Nigel Lee-Yang of cult band HTRK, who’s known for his distinctive musical vision, approached the band about mixing the band’s future material after hearing their selfreleased “Vacation” single, which was recently re-released by felte. The results are rich with characterful sounds. Deftly crafted and sonically diverse, within the nine tracks you’ll find noisy percussion, jangley guitars, potent bass and hypnotic synthesizers, all polished with Yang’s signature electronic sheen.

Poetic and personal, you need only to listen to the record's lyrics and atmosphere to understand where the title Depersonalisation comes from. Recurring themes include disassociation of reality and dissipation of love, with Venzin’s understated and at times unsettling vocal delivery almost as hard to forget as the album’s unique mood.

Numero Group Jeff Cowell: Luck Strikes and Liquid Gold
Catalog Number: NUM 1226 Artist: Jeff Cowell Title: Lucky Strikes and Liquid Gold Release Date: 02/03/15 UPC: LP 825764602617 Available formats: LP Genre: Country/Folk Box Lot: LP: 35 Territory Restrictions: None Vinyl is not returnable Track Listing
Ten road-weary tales from the wrong side of outlaw country. Jeff Cowell may have huffed the same narcotic air as Townes Van Zandt and David Allan Coe, but hunkered far from the Nashville city limits, nary a Cash or Paycheck would drunkenly slur through his tunes. Recorded in 1975, Lucky Strikes and Liquid Gold is an isolated, backwoods loner epic, top-loaded with odes to hitch-hiking and rambling the crumbling Michigan countryside of Cowell’s hard-drinking youth. Previously available only out of the backs of borrowed cars, truck stops, campgrounds, and country-western bars between Algonac, Detroit, East Lansing, Cadillac, and Manistee, this LP now finds new life in similarly detached environs: the last remaining record stores.

Jazz and Owls, Victor Villarreal is one of the most inventive guitarists of modern indie-rock. His unique guitar style includes elements of classical, spanish, indie and even metal. Now on the heels of his reunion with Owls (Polyvinyl), Victor is back with his new solo long player, “Sleep Talk”. “Sleep Talk” is Villarreal’s second proper solo effort, and his first to enlist bassist (and early Joan of Arc member) Erik Bocek. Utilizing a “one man band” style of performance, the majority of “Sleep Talk” was recorded live in the studio, with Victor simultaneously performing guitar, percussion and vocals. Hinged on the tumbling rhythms of Villarreal’s other-worldly guitar style, the tracks on “Sleep Talk” are diverse and moody, and will tickle your brain into a meditative stasis.

Captured Tracks is pleased to announce the release of Wearing Leather, Wearing Fur, the first fully collaborative recording by Juan Wauters and Carmelle following their duets on N.A.P. North American Poetry.

In Wearing Leather, Wearing Fur,Juan and Carmelle share the lead, navigating the listener through stages of varying emotional intensity as they sing themes of external identity and personal freedom.
RELEASE DATE: FEBRUARY 3RD, 2015 GENRE: INDIE / ALTERNATIVE (PSYCH FOLK POP) “Though toeing the gum-smacking snark of his mainstay band The Beets, the crumpled folk and sketched pop [of Juan Wauters] turns inward–a missing link between Daniel Johnston and Jonathan Richman.” - Brooklyn Magazine “Juan Wauters is equal parts anti-folk hero Adam Green, 1960s Bob Dylan (but without anything to protest against) and his own unique concoction of lovable, lo-fi pop.” - Now Magazine

Melted Moon (Marble Sheep) 10:32 It all started with touring a lot the past year. Touring never fails to change the way you hear music...9 hour drives through Wyoming, all night mountain passes, wild weather survival crawls...there's constantly new stuff you've never seen before and there's a soundtrack. And the soundtrack stretches OUT. Whether a song goes 3 minutes or 18 minutes doesn't make much difference, as long as it holds up. You can't really listen to the same thing over and over, so everyone mellows out and lets some familiar/unfamiliar jammage play just for the sake of variety. Certain bands/albums started to rise to the top. Mayyors were always a hit, no matter what they followed. Their 10-second manic tape loop intros would grab all of us and dunk our heads under the inevitable Sacramento pummel. This heat was another crowd-pleaser, so were Psychic Paramount. There was one afternoon driving to Pittsburgh where we started a Major Stars binge. Then Rangdha, Monoshock, Dymaxion, The Pop Group, High Rise.... Random shuffle became a massive brain crowbar - for our own songs, for our own noise. Instead of locking down on regurgitating the same songs on stage every night, we came home looking to take all that momentum and find a way to send it off the rails. One morning driving around back in San Diego, I must have been in the M's on my song library. All of a sudden, I heard a block of a bunch of those tour song faves. Major Stars’ "Syntoptikon," Mayyors’ "Deads" EP, Marble Sheep’s "Melted Moon." Ahh, MAJOR MAYOR MARBLE. The next time we all got together to play, we started learning these songs. Soon after, Jason threw in a Dymaxion number. MAJOR MAYOR MAXION MARBLE. Monolithic atonal New England monster riffs + Sacramento clobber + deconstructed guitar as sample + Tokyo flash-forward. All points of the globe caving in quadraphonically.
________________________________________________
Cover songs are double-edged. You don't have to write them, but you do have to own them. All four of these tunes have some severely alien logic intrinsic to them. They're slathered so deep in that...they initially come off as improv, but we maybe figured out otherwise in midstream. Learning these made us unlearn a lot of what we already knew to do, in terms of structure and performance, recording and mix. The same rules did not apply. So here we have something that doesn't have a lot in common with much of anything we've recorded so far as a band, was an epically large stretch, and yet in some ways was like falling off a giant log. Tribute, homage, thrill-bent annihilation.
