Moon Duo Occult Architecture Vol. 1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
•
• • • • • Meaning all things magick and supernatural, the root of the word occult is that which is hidden, concealed, beyond the limits of our minds. If this is occult, then the Occult Architecture of Moon Duo’s fourth album - a psychedelic opus in two separate volumes released in 2017 - is an intricately woven hymn to the invisible structures found in the cycle of seasons and the journey of day into night, dark into light. Offering a cosmic glimpse into the hidden patterning embedded in everything, Occult Architecture reflects the harmonious duality of these light and dark energies through the Chinese theory of Yin and Yang. In Chinese, Yin means “the shady side of the hill” and is associated with the feminine, darkness, night, earth. Following this logic, Vol. 1 embraces and embodies Moon Duo’s darker qualities — released appropriately on February 3, in the heart of winter in the Northern Hemisphere. According to guitarist Ripley Johnson, “the concept of the dark/light, two-part album came as we were recording and mixing the songs, beginning in the dead of winter and continuing into the rebirth and blossoming of the spring. There’s something really powerful about the changing of the seasons in the Northwest, the physical and psychic impact it has on you, especially after we spent so many years in the seasonal void of California. I became interested in gnostic and hermetic literature around that time, especially the relationship between music and occult qualities and that fed into the whole vibe.” Adds keyboardist Sanae Yamada, “the two parts are also intended to represent inverted components of a singular entity, like two faces on the same head which stare always in opposite directions but are inextricably driven by the same brain.” Vol. 1 was mixed in Berlin by the band’s longtime collaborator Jonas Verwijnen.

overview :
1. Matter of Time
SURFER BLOOD are one of the best young indie-rock bands around, and their fourth album, Snowdonia, is their most ambitious effort yet. Overcoming adversity, the band has artistically grown and thrived. Following the departure of bassist Kevin Williams and guitarist Thomas Fekete (tragically lost to cancer in May), singer/guitarist John Paul Pitts and drummer Tyler Schwarz have rebuilt a talented lineup with guitarist Michael McCleary and bassist Lindsey Mills, all four alumni of the same high school in West Palm Beach, Florida.
2. Frozen 3. Dino Jay 4. Six Flags in F or G 5. Snowdonia 6. Instant Doppelgängers 7. Taking Care of Eddy 8. Carrier Pigeon (VINYL INCLUDES DOWNLOAD)
Pitts wrote specifically with the new band’s talents in mind: “When I was writing I was thinking more about background vocals and harmonies. Lindsey and Michael are great singers, and I really wanted that to show in the songs. There are layers of vocals on almost every track, and the call-and-response parts between Lindsey and I are something totally new.” Along with plenty of Surfer Blood’s signature hooks, the band concocted some epic and more complex songs with enormous attention to sonic detail. Pitts wrote and mixed the album alone, for the first time since their debut Astro Coast. The immediacy is intoxicating and the musical and lyrical results are fantastic. Surfer Blood get better and better with each album, and we’re sure they’ll be making great records for years to come.

Homeshake Fresh Air LP/CD • Hometown: Montreal, Canada • Touring Now November & December 2016 and Throughout 2017 • Third Album Born in the bleak isolation of the secluded prairie city of Edmonton, Canada, Homeshake’s Peter Sagar worked with friends in a number of local bands before picking up and moving to Montreal in 2011 to begin recording under the Homeshake moniker. Following two self-released cassettes (The Homeshake Tapes and Dynamic Meditation) and two acclaimed full lengths (In The Shower and Midnight Snack), Sagar cracks a window open with his third album for Sinderlyn – Fresh Air. LYN-023 01. Hello Welcome 02. Call Me Up 03. No t U 04. Eve ry Sing le Thing 05. Wrapping Up 06. Getting Down Pt. II (He’s Co oling Down) 07 . Timing 08. TV Volume 09. Khmlwugh 10 . Fresh Air 11. Serio u s 12. S o She 13. This Way 14 . Si gning Off
Started immediately following the recording of Midnight Snack, Fresh Air continues Sagar’s exploration of dreamy, downtempo bedroom R&B and draws inspiration from such disparate artists like Sade, The Band, Broadcast, Prince, and Angelo Badalamenti. As the title Fresh Air suggests, Sagar’s songs were created to clear his listeners’ minds of negativity. Full of smokey, laid back love songs and airy productions, Sagar’s decidedly stoned sound is a breath of fresh air.
RELEASE DATE: FEBRUARY 3RD, 2017 GENRE: INDIE/ R&B “Like the other work he’s released under the Homeshake name [Midnight Snack is] a wonderfully tape-warped take on indie pop structures, though more keyboard heavy than ever before.” - SPIN

“Midnight Snack [is] an eclectic and beautiful Homeshake album that takes the relaxed, jazzy vibe he honed in the past, and injected it with more varied often conflicting elements – because “contrast is good, not everything has to match.” It’s the most powerful statement he’s made, taking the side out of the ‘side project’ once and for all.” - Purple Sneakers

MICHELE MERCURE EYE CHANT You can see the sounds her voice makes. The literal depiction of this, a photograph of Michele Mercure with an eyeball in her mouth, is removed in the updated album art. The original graphic elements are left to suspend, speak, and sing across time. In the absence of the decade-specific portraits, the redesigned edition is dislocated from a particular or linear history. Our initial point of encounter is artifactual; a trace in place of a scar. Accordingly, Michele’s true image and body is sound. Eye Chant, as a whole, offers meditations of sound as material. Her instruments are voice and synthesizer, the former following the machine’s lead and language of patterns. Machine sounds become abstract words. The human voice is pulled apart, dislodged from context; a tactile, textured quality appears to reconfigure the body and machine presently or permanently. The natural and the mechanical elements of Eye Chant commingle with the ease of a musician well-versed in the social-material entanglements of life. Like the lacework referenced in one track, Mercure’s record alludes to interconnections and their unraveling. Her married name formerly attached to Eye Chant has been shed for this iteration. As her electronic kin, Eliane Rodigue and Suzanne Ciani would attest, it’s all raw material for the musician to give form. Donna Haraway and Lucy Suchman may have been listening. Michele offers a tender mechanics to attune to. Atmospheres expand and contract within a song, sometimes reappearing in the album - the economy of means appreciated from another vantage. Loops and undulating rhythms build up a particular kind of surface, one that places the listener in the present moment, to notice and extend that time of being here. To get a sense of the space Mercure’s work occupies: compositions on this album were part of a PBS special and a performance artist’s production. The most narrative moments of Eye Chant, these commissioned pieces, “Proteus and the Marlin” and “100% Bridal Illusion,” are hyper feminine tracks made up of choirs of birds, breath, baby cries, waves, and poetry read just above a whisper. When focused on the moment the mind wanders as it likes. It feels as though there’s a collective and urgent need to decelerate. Rather than chasing the new sound or accelerating discovery, deceleration allows us to pay heed to what’s less heard. Finding our time in continuum with others’ might be one of many impulses for reissues. One way to interpret the name, Freedom to Spend, is an abundance of freedom that needs to be shared. In that spirit, the free thinking / art of Michele Mercure is recirculated. Eye Chant is available February 3, 2017. Additional Information
• Michele Mercure’s Eye Chant marks the inaugural offering from Freedom To
Spend. • Mercure originally issued Eye Chant in 1986 under her then married name Michele Musser. The privately pressed album has become a sought after document of time. • Mercure was part of a group of American musicians in the 80s dabbling with new and cutting edge instrument technologies including Laurie Paisley, Don Slepian, and The Nightcrawlers. • “Tour de France (Day 2)” and “100% Bridal Illusion” were used respectively for a PBS TV special and a performance art piece, while Eye Chant was produced in part through a grant from The Pennsylvania Council on the Arts and The Painted Bride Art Center in Philadelphia • First edition of 500 copies housed in letterpressed, sustainable jackets designed by Will Work For Good, with liner notes by Jed Bindeman, a founding member of Freedom To Spend

BIO Behind Closed Doors were a young hardcore band from Baltimore, MD. As the title of this collection suggests, their tenure was all too brief. Formed in 1996 and disbanded by 1998, Behind Closed Doors released a scarce, minimally packaged 12” on the historic punk imprint, Vermin Scum (Moss Icon, Born Against, Universal Order of Armageddon) and quickly became renowned in the Baltimore/DC region for their unusually long, dynamic songs and alarmingly unhinged live shows. Bridging the crazed emotions of early screamo bands like Heroin and Angel Hair, the thoughtful complexity of Unwound, and the sinister heaviness of His Hero Is Gone, Behind Closed Doors was a huge bolt of lightning in a very tiny bottle. They broke up while in the process of writing what would have been their debut full-length for Temporary Residence in 1998, leaving behind a recorded legacy of what they were, and a blueprint of what they could’ve been. Formed by teenage friends Guy Blakeslee, Jeffrey Duncan, and Aaron Friedman, Behind Closed Doors burned brief and bright in a bygone era of Baltimore underground music, when out-of-town bands would routinely skip the city in favor of the more renowned Washington, DC and Philadelphia – unthinkable now that bands like Animal Collective, Beach House, Future Islands, Dan Deacon, and Wye Oak have helped give Baltimore its reputation as an indie rock epicenter. To that end, Behind Closed Doors is perhaps most notable for splintering into so many more bands after their dissolution; Blakeslee joined Tonie Joy of Moss Icon/Born Against in his new band, The Convocation Of – and eventually formed his own well-known ensemble, The Entrance Band. Meanwhile, drummer Aaron Friedman joined the brutal hardcore band, Torn Apart. Exit Lines: The Brief History of Behind Closed Doors collects the entire recorded history of Behind Closed Doors. Remastered from the original studio master tapes by Alan Douches at West West Side (Converge, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Mastodon), these songs have never sounded more visceral. The limited edition vinyl format is pressed onto opaque red with black splatter colored vinyl, and features a custom laser etching that includes the album’s lyrics etched directly into the vinyl. The artwork – comprised of historic photocopied images from Baltimore’s pre-gentrified inner harbor – was designed by Ryan Patterson of Coliseum and Black Cross. Exit Lines is a painstakingly perfect tribute for one hardcore’s truly unparalleled and unheralded bands of the 1990s.
MATTEO VALLICELLI PRIMO - LP • Debut Album by The Soft Moon Drummer, Matteo Vallicelli • Limited Edition of 500 Copies
Matteo Vallicelli is an Italian drummer and composer, best known as the live drummer of The Soft Moon, Death Index, and as a founding member of many renowned Italian punk bands. This winter he debuts his first solo project, Primo on Captured Tracks. In 2013, Vallicelli relocated from the ancient neighborhood of Trastevere in Rome to the ever-changing Kreuzberg district in Berlin. This dramatic uprooting acted as a catalyst, inspiring him to try and make music on his own. Heavily inspired by the pulsating techno scene of the German capital, Vallicelli began experimenting with synthesizers and drum machines. Recording sounds onto his computer and cassette tapes led him to create a massive collection of loops and samples, sometimes in protracted home sessions where he wouldn’t leave his apartment for days.

For Vallicelli, the transition from playing drums in punk bands to sitting alone in his home studio, working on minimalistic electronic compositions, has dramatically shifted his music career. He says, “Being in charge of everything can be disorienting. Having no other band members to work or fight with… I would end up with hours of music that I would endlessly edit on my computer. It took me years to learn how to limit myself, to finish up a project and move on to something else. But, as soon as I mastered that, I was able to assemble my first album quickly.” Songs like “Michelangelo” and “Frammenti” were born as techno tracks but, through subtraction, became something different and more representative of the introspective state in which they were created. These two tracks opened up a path for the rest of the music on the Primo, in which most of the songs have no traces of drums or percussive elements, marking a new, liberating way for Vallicelli to make music. The result of three years of experimentation, Primo is ultimately an exercise in self-limitation and discovery.

Nobody—and I do mean nobody—has a funkier band than Syl Johnson! His famous Chicago outfit cooks up such powerful rhythms that there isn’t an R&B band in all the land that can come close to touching them. When Syl’s out front in the spotlight, delivering his dynamic vocals while his funky, funky band lets loose with their unstoppable rhythms, I defy anybody with two working ears not to head straight to the dancefloor.

Track Listing Having anthologized his ‘60s songbook with 1. Now That I Have You 1976’s overdue long-player Positive-Negative, 2. Stay With Me Grand Rapids, Michigan’s Tommy McGee was eager to place something more modern into the marketplace. Brass at Brunswick and MCA failed to hear a hit in McGee’s sultry-yet-assured delivery of “Now That I Have You.” Unable to find a home for the romantic anthem, McGee issued his 2-step masterpiece on his own TMG Records in 1981. McGee would revisit the composition later in the decade, dressing the tune with drum machines and synthesizers for a run of 12-inch singles. However, this 45-only version from 1976 captures the progressive soul stepper at its most organic. 7”
