IS THE IS ARE - 2xLP/CD • Past North American sales for Oshin: 30K + • 2xLP Version Includes Two 12” x 12” Twelve-Page Art Booklets as well as Two Eurosleeves • National college and specialty radio campaign via AAM

Is the Is Are, the highly-anticipated sophomore release from Brooklyn-based DIIV, is an album years and many personal struggles in the making for it’s architect, Zachary Cole Smith. Recorded and mixed in various locations in Brooklyn, it showcases everything you know and love about DIIV, and many things you did not, all with an added nuance and depth. It is a 17-song, double-album statement intended to resonate with its audience in much the same way that Bad Moon Rising or Tago Mago has for Smith himself. CT- 231 1 . Out of M ind 2 .

An extension and deepening of the musical ideas first expressed on 2012’s critically-lauded Oshin, Is the Is Are yields a multiplicity of textures, lyrical themes, and moods. It is a more diverse world than Oshin, with different parameters and ideals. Dark and honest to a fault, the new songs are dynamic, loud, quiet, sad; they are songs that hiss and snarl; songs that, as Smith wrote recently, represent “the real me.” Smith’s vocals, too, are much closer to the foreground, layered legibly on top of tidal waves of shimmering guitar and melodic bass weaving in and out, leaving a distinct and indelible imprint.

RELEASE DATE: FEBRUARY 5TH, 2016 GENRE: ALTERNATIVE / INDIE “The first single released from their sophomore album Is the Is Are, “Dopamine” is not out of step with the guitar twinklers that made up much of their debut, Oshin, modern rock’n’roll at its most pleasantly primal. But this song is tighter, punchier, and quicker, the drums propelling it at a sprinter’s pace through its four minutes. ... New DIIV songs don’t come every morning, but when they do, they’re pretty special.” - Pitchfork, Best New Track

Anna Homler and Steve Moshier —Breadwoman & Other Tales Breadwoman & Other Tales are the collected recordings of a language arising. It is the sound and document of Anna Homler divining speech, lyrical fragments, and melody for music composed, mixed, and engineered by Steve Moshier. It’s 1982 and Anna is driving an ocean blue classic Cadillac to meet renowned poet and playwright Deena Metzger in Topanga Canyon, Los Angeles. Passing a non-descript desert patch where tall wheat and mustard flowers grow, Anna opens her mouth and sings in a salient stream of rhythmic, melodic sound. Breadwoman is born, but not by immaculate conception. For Homler, performance art had recently become “a form big enough to contain everything happening” during her studies with Rachel Rosenthal at Otis College of Art and Design. As this performative freedom fed into the enchanted vocalese, the character of Breadwoman emerged. Homler tread the same multi-disciplinary waters where Steve Moshier and the Cartesian Reunion Memorial Orchestra (CRMO), a communal avant-garde urban chamber music ensemble formed in LA in 1979, floated. When their currents connected, it was clear Homler and Moshier were kin, crossing genres through intensely physical de-significations of music: quasi-theatrical, fully mythic, ritualistic performances. Instead of confining Anna as “a vocalist,” Moshier recognized Anna’s voice as a sonic element. To accomplish the recordings of this collection, Moshier chose the least song-like material from Homler’s handheld cassette transcriptions and composed music considerately. Anna would then record chants and song variations which Steve would tweak for final touches through his arsenal of analog equipment. Although Breadwoman stands outside of time, she is is rich in the ingredients of 1980s Los Angeles performance art, renegade DIY punk, gallery culture, galvanized jazz, underground cassette-trading culture, drag extravaganzas, and esoteric meaning-making mysticism. Breadwoman is a storyteller — she’s so very old she’s turned into bread. Breadwoman says: If you don’t try to understand, you will. She is the voice, and the voice is cosmic reality’s musicality. Through Breadwoman & Other Tales, we hear material meet mythos.

“Geidi Primes shows that even her earliest recordings displayed a distinct point of view and an oddly mesmerizing quality.” - Pitchfork “An instantly accessible and intimate listen.” - NME

CATALOGUE NUMBER: ABT007 ARTIST: Grimes TITLE: Geidi Primes GENRE: Experimental, Synth-pop, Darkwave RELEASE DATE: February 5th, 2016

Geidi Primes is Grimes' debut LP. Originally available as a free download, and a limited release of cassettes, it's now available worldwide on CD/LP/Digital.

AVAILABLE FORMATS: CD, LP

It has a strange air of being created unconsciously while the artist herself was asleep. It is a vastly intriguing set of pop tunes highlighted by its amazing ffth and sixth songs: “Avi” and “Feyd Rautha Dark Heart”, which are each frighteningly reminiscent of an unaccountable psychic experience you may have never had.

BOX LOT: LP – 30

As an album, it touches on many different tones without exploiting any. It manages to be playful without being precious, clean without being sterile, cryptic without being obscure, and operates in a deceptively complex melodic structure without calling attention to the artistry therein.

VINYL IS NOT RETURNABLE

It reminds one of being a small child, listening to adult contemporary radio in the back seat of your mother’s minivan when a special kind of song comes on. You are still maddeningly susceptible to the sympathetic rise and fall of a maternal voice, yet this is a different sort of mother, one more primeval and distant. Icily it falls over your entire body, begging for an escape you know you cannot give it. You are strangely moved.

TERRITORY: Worldwide

It seems like an album made for very tall people about what it’s like to be very small. It calls to mind the glowering of a child king amidst the many vestments and decorations of his coronation. Listening to Geidi Primes is what its like to suddenly realize you are being watched while taking a cold shower…on the moon.

With a penchant for the cinematic, the Georgia-‐ born, Durham, North Carolina-‐based producer cuts blasted, abstract beats on post-‐punk textures, resulting in a sound that somehow manages to echo RZA, Rammellzee, This Heat and PIL, whilst carving out a unique identity all of his own. At a time when most hip hop production sounds as if it’s stuck in p reset mode, Reducer feels like a vital injection of creativity, harking back to a time in the past when no sample and no sound was off limits. Opening track, ‘The History of…’, a dizzying collage of broken drum machine beats, white noise shards and glitchy dub, is a good place to start in trying to epitomize the energy of the record. From there on Hanz continues to take the listener on a trip into a dark, complex h eadspace where haunted p atois vocals, industrial drums,harps, elastic bass-‐lines and d ystopian hip hop b eats collide. It’s his capability of collapsing one sound world into another almost seamlessly, whilst retaining a distinctly raw punk energy throughout that sets Hanz aside. It makes for an unpredictable and thrilling listen. In Reducer Hanz has created something wildly ambitious which, doesn’t sound like much else out there in 2015. The ‘Reducer’ LP will be produced in limited quantities.

‘Reducer’ is Hanz’s debut album, available for the first time on vinyl and strictly limited to one pressing. ‘Building soundscapes from fractured, almost unrecognizable shards of hip-‐hop, jungle, punk, dubstep, and more, Hanz' debut album Reducer is a brilliant whirlwind of dystopian menace’ – Pigeons and Planes ‘Hanz has taken your worst childhood nightmare and turned 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 ‘Reducer remains a promising introduction, a daring and sophisticated approximation of Yeezus' Armageddon aesthetics. An Endtroducing..... for the millennial nihilist’ – IndyWeek CATALOG: TRIANGLE31 ARTIST: Hanz TITLE: Reducer GENRE: Electronic RELEASE D ATE: 02/05/2016 AVAILABLE FORMATS: LP Territory Restrictions; Only Available to North America VINYL IS NOT RETURNABLE LP BOX LOT: 25

Milk ‘n’ Cookies are the stuff of legends -- or would be legends. Forming in the early 70s in Long Island, New York, this power pop group was originally signed to Island Records and seemed destined for greatness. Yet, through many cases of “wrong place, wrong time,” the band never managed to break. The core line-up of the band was made up of Ian North, Justin Strauss, Sal Maida and Mike Ruiz and, in their time, they played classic NYC venues like CBGB’s and Max’s Kansas City. They shared bills with everyone from Talking Heads to The Ramones and have amassed a cult following, influencing the likes of Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth) and Debbie Harry (Blondie). After working extensively with the band members, Milk ‘n’ Cookies is a lavish reissue of the group’s entire recorded output. Housed in a deluxe slipcase is the band’s original legendary LP, a 2xLP featuring rare and unreleased tracks, as well as a book that chronicles the full history of the band’s wild ride through the music biz—as told by the band themselves, through accounts from their many (in)famous admirers and through neverbefore-seen photographs.

“For die-hard collectors of power pop, this album is a welcome treat to even the most seasoned and jaded of ears. And for those hyped up on the modern-day, cookie-cutter, Johnny-come-lately band of the moment emulating the sound of new wave? This is an absolute textbook essential listening experience.” – All Music
