Numero Group Happy Rhodes: Ectotrophia
Catalog Number: NUM199 Artist: Happy Rhodes Title: Ectotrophia Release Date: 6/29/2018 UPC: 2xLP: 825764119917 CD: 825764119924 Available format: 2xLP, CD Genre: Pop, Electronic, Ecto Box Lot: 2xLP: 25, CD: 20 Territory Restrictions: None Vinyl is not returnable Track Listing
The first authoritative compilation of American dream pop artist Happy Rhodes, whose singular songwriting and four-octave vocal range emanated from the pastoral confines of upstate New York in the 1980s. Her melding of classical music influences with synthesizer and acoustic guitar, and her enchanting and idiosyncratic singing, are favorably compared to heralded English chanteuse Kate Bush. Fans of such artistic pop music would be remiss to overlook Rhodes’s similarly remarkable and otherworldly sonic transmissions, traversing tales of dreamers, outsiders, lovers and other lovely and terrifying creatures born of a wellspring of wild creativity and bold imagination. Affectionately remastered from the original tapes, Ectotrophia gathers essential songs from Rhodes’s mid-’80s salad days, many written when she was just a teenager— wildly ahead of her time and unafraid to bare her soul to regional audiences, the ectophiles who’d eventually coin an entire subgenre of pop music in her honor. Dive deep into ecto, with the woman who started it all.

Since the group’s disbanding in 2010, his solo project Silicon has been praised by the likes of Pharrell Williams and Justin Timberlake, as well as winning the prestigious Taite Music Prize for the 2016 album Personal Computer. Alongside his work with Bic Runga and their group Opossom, Kody has been an integral collaborator in brother Ruban’s project Unknown Mortal Orchestra, and is presently touring with UMO as drummer. Now, Nielson returns with Birthday Suite, notably the first full-length to be released under his own name. Set for release via Flying Nun Records on May 9, this auspicious release date marks Kody’s own birthday; with each of the record’s 12 songs written for one of the artist’s family and friend’s birthday. Birthday Suite’s instrumental concept also sees each single on the album unveiled to coincide with the namesakes on birthday. Birthday Suite is an energetic, elaborate set of instrumental arrangements comprised of drums, bass guitar, strings, electric piano and synthesizer. A concise and challenging experimentation, Birthday Suite takes ques from everything from the baroque to Afrobeat, Jazz Fusion, Psychedelic Rock and offbeat explorational sounds while maintaining a commitment to classic songcraft and musicianship. First single Bic’s Birthday – sees baroque melodies skating with graceful aplomb over funky drum beats, calling to mind Wendy Carlos or CAN, while second single Ruban’s Birthday is a short, sharp composition melding psychedelic string arrangements with swirling drums and organ. His constant ability to agitate and explore his own boundaries, has seen Nielson cement his position as one of the most urgent and interesting characters in New Zealand’s music history.

RELEASE BIO Parisian quintet En Attendant Ana has been nonchalantly crafting perfect pop songs in their homeland since 2014. Their debut "Songs From The Cave" was released on cassette and LP by Buddy Records / Nominal Records in April of 2017, garnering rave reviews and making fans of discerning reviewers like Dusted and Social & Fuckin' Record Reviews for their refreshing blend of nouveau French pop, C86 indie and foggy Flying Nun influenced jangle. Their new album "Lost and Found" hones in on that EPs strengths & shines the hooks 'til they shimmer.
RELEASE INFO Catalogue Number: TIM133 Format: CD, LP, LP-C1 Release Date: April 6th, 2018 CD: 630125983263 UPC-LP: 630125983287 UPC-LP-C1: 630125983294
Recorded in the Paris suburb of Montreuil in October of 2017 by engineers Nicolas Pommé and Guillaume Siracusa, "Lost and Found" begins with the ominous clanging of guitars, before launching into a churning whirl of sound; guitars slash, keyboards drone, trumpets (yes trumpets) wail and drums crash. What follows are nine more songs of urgent and thrilling pop dazzle.; from the adrenaline-soaked anthem "This Could Be", to the driving "Ré" (re-recorded from the EP) with it's rapturous "oohs" & Camille Fréchou's uplifting trumpet fanfare, echoing Entwistle's French horn lines from "Sell Out"-era Who. The hooks on "Lost and Found" dig deep, as each song worms its way into the listener's subconscious via a memorable melody, a chiming guitar line, or a trumpet trill, alternating between hip-shaking swagger and head-bopping sway. Vocalist/multiinstrumentalist Margaux Bouchaudon's a yearning, tuneful register can't help but recall the indie cool of Laetitia Sadier or Nico, but still boasts a style of her own. Bouchaudon says her lyrics "talk about our everyday life, about the difficulty of being a young adult now and how we deal with this metamorphosis, trying to give sense to our future, considering our family, our friends and the society we live in. They talk about us, about the individual and the collective. They talk about our fears and our doubts. But most of the time they talk about hope." The clarity and timelessness of Bouchaudon and guitarist Romain Meaulard's songwriting, combined with a thrilling live show proves them to be a band filled with craft and promise.

Angelo De Augustine Carcassonne CATALOG / AKR374 RELEASE DATE / June 29, 2018 DESCRIPTION / “Carcassonne,” the A side of a new limited edition 7 inch, is a song by Angelo De Augustine about falling in love for the first time. On side B is “Effervescent Islands.” The Carcassonne 7” was written and self-produced at home at the tail end of summer, soon after De Augustine released his second LP, Swim Inside the Moon, and played to his biggest audience to date supporting Sufjan Stevens at LA’s Hollywood Forever Cemetery (his tour with Moses Sumney was then about to start). “Carcassonne” is one of De Augustine’s most romantic tracks that starts by asking a simple question: “Would you be the only one / In my life with my love?” and ends with the tender epiphany: “There ain't much time in life before the lights go down / So I want to know you now,” reminding us to love while we can.

Toward the end of 2009, in a bedroom in Stockton, California – previously known only in the music world for producing Stephen Malkmus’ Pavement – a 21-year-old Justin Paul Vallesteros began experimenting with simple synth and guitar lines, gradually layering them to create the sound that would become Craft Spells. The band’s first single, “Party Talk,” was the perfect smoky dream pop track to be introduced into the buzzy blogosphere – an important tool for any upand-coming artist from a small town at that time. This combination of lo-fi and D.I.Y. press eventually led to Brooklyn-based label Captured Tracks signing the band. The next single, “Ramona,” came on the cusp of fall of 2010, cool and laid-back as it was bursting with rhythms that cried out for dancing and the warmth of summer. “After the Moment” soon followed, a New Order-esque direct ‘80s groove of a track that was undeniable. These three tracks would soon come together to form the backbone of Craft Spells’ debut LP, Idle Labor, released in the spring of 2011. It’s a debut of shimmering indie pop, nodding to the early 80s in the way that only someone in their early 20s can; a time when you’re brave and brazen enough to put your own spin on past impulses without a second thought and the result is a thing of beauty.
RELEASE DATE: June 29th, 2018 (Original Release date: March 22nd, 2011) GENRE: INDIE / ALTERNATIVE “...Mines a large swath of 1980s synth pop, but its clear emotional tenor gives it a distinguishing perspective and personality.” - Pitchfork

Step By Step: “Time After Time” b/w “She’s Gone” Catalog Number: ES065 Artist: Step By Step Title: “Time After Time” b/w “She’s Gone” Release Date: 06/29/2018 UPC: 825764706575 Available format: 7” Genre: Soul Box Lot: 20 Territory Restrictions: None Vinyl is not returnable
Track Listing Soaring falsetto lead from 13-year-old 1. Time After Time Johnnie Gee, who, alongside brothers Jerome 2. She’s Gone and Dewitt and a handful of kids from their Milwaukee stomping grounds, formed Step By Step in 1969. Gee and company’s 1972 sweet soul double sider for Jim Kirchstein’s regional powerhouse Cuca Records is among the rarest singles produced by the Sauk City outfit over its 13 year run, barely making it outside of Wisconsin before appearing on 2007’s Home Schooled: The ABCs of Kid Soul album. Step By Step’s “Time After Time” has since become a highly sought after single on the low rider circuit, and was prominently featured in season two of Aziz Ansari’s breakout Netflix 7” series Master of None. Both sides have been remastered from the original analog Cuca masters, with two additional songs tacked onto the digital version.
