Deeply influenced by Hindustani, Carnatic, and West Africa music, he founded the Bitter Funeral Beer Band in 1980, an ensemble of 12 elements, basing his ideas on the traditional funeral music of the people of LoBirifor, in the northern region of Ghana. The sound material reinterprets the spirit of the funeral ritual, when the dance and its songs become a moment of catharsis, releasing a sense of joy in the trance for the liberation from pain. The marriage between this Afro-polyrhythmic roots, with the spiritual jazz of the eternal Don Cherry, and the Ondian sarod of K.

Her range swings from fluttering highs to earthen lows, with a distinctiveness that evokes the enduring quality of early Asylum Records and the new classics of Angel Olsen. When she wasn't on set, she scrawled hundreds of poems and lyrics, and set them to acoustic guitar or piano. As with acting, songwriting for Black was a study in confession and in character. She often completed multiple takes of a song exploring that relationship, changing her tone, phrasing or cadence in each.

It was there the like-minded artists formed their first band, Ceramic Madonna Head (with Plastic Arms), a short-lived project which included housemates Elizabeth Downing and Peggy Bitzer. By the time the lease was up, Linda and Peggy had decided to move to New York where they would form a new band called The Woods while Nancy and Elizabeth remained in Baltimore and formed a performance art band called Lambs Eat Ivy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWhile playing guitar in The Woods in the mid-80’s Linda purchased her first 4-track cassette recorder and embarked on a pioneering decade of solo, DIY home recording with a series of cassettes and 7” records of smart and moody singer-songwriter bedroom pop music. This trailblazing period was recently documented on the Captured Tracks retrospective compilation “Till Another Time: 1988-1996.” Her band, The Woods, made a record which was shelved for decades but will finally see release in 2023. During this same period Nancy pursued art, animation and filmmaking with occasional forays into music including another short-lived collaboration with Linda called The Gertrudes as well as a 7” under the alias Pinky on Harriet records in 1992.

In the process of digitizing the old recordings she was inspired to reach out and float the idea of a new collaborative recording project with her old friend. “A Passing Cloud” is the fruit of their rekindled long-distance musical conversation. They began the songwriting process by flipping through Nancy’s pulp fiction collection and pulling provocative phrases from the lurid titles and hard-boiled storylines. Then, they set out to create new stories from personal, feminist perspectives. All the songs were composed incrementally by passing tracks back and forth between Maine and Maryland during the late pandemic. A Passing Cloud’s lovely and beguiling pop music may be borne out of isolation but it draws us in with a carefully rendered intimacy made possible by decades of artistic collaboration.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grapefruit Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43276494536912,"sku":"","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0554\/4201\/4416\/products\/passingcloud.jpg?v=1676319265"},{"product_id":"enhet-for-fri-musik-inom-dig-inom-mig-lp","title":"Enhet For Fri Musik - Inom Dig, Inom Mig LP","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFolk unit originated in the Swedish underground \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEnhet för Fri Musik\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e -- featuring members of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSewer Election\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eÄttestupa\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNeutral\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMakthaverskan\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e, and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBlod\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e - continually re-inventing what music is about through free improvisation and lengthy folk meanderings.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEmbedded in the ever exciting Swedish underground scene \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEnhet För Fri Musik \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003econtinues the quest for innovation numerous legendary Swedish bands started during the 70s, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePärson Sound, Trad Gras Och Stenar, Arbete Och Fritid. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTaking the ideas of communal music craft and experimentation, on this album the group comes to a unique combination of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJandek\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e-like atonal guitar, organ, tape effects, field recordings, saxophone and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSofie Herner\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e’s amazing loner voice running over it.

There’s a daring sort of faith in these songs, the way the three members trust in the resonance and persistence and joy built into each song and the way they trust in each other. This faith provides a tender, messy space for thoughts, feelings, outbursts, joys, and sadnesses. The observations made on this record – from petty irritations to existential crises – are articulated in a way that feels always like solidarity, never like whining.

These collected recordings were committed to cassette in January 2009 while the band regrouped as a three piece with Kevin Boyer on guitar and vocals, Shelley Salant on bass and Matt Ziolkowski on drums. The songs on the lp were originally released on two extremely limited cassette runs shortly after recording, with 5 tracks also included on the 12” Blunt Instrumental ep released on Night People records.

Fitting in well with the Tyvek ethos, the 12 tracks range from short and blistered punk blasts to the fully blasted 10-minute space rock of Cold Sun Blind My Eye. Spun together, the album is a great reminder of Tyvek’s stream-of-consciousness style and passion. Lyrically looser and occasionally off-the-cuff, it also hits with some great tunes. Somewhere in the freezing Michigan winter we find a window opened onto a view of Tyvek creating something memorable beneath the clouds. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Shelley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43449781747920,"sku":"","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0554\/4201\/4416\/files\/blunt.jpg?v=1687373372"},{"product_id":"amon-duul-psychedelic-underground-lp","title":"Amon Duul - Psychedelic Underground LP","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e180 gram vinyl; gatefold sleeve.

An EP of sorts, as these six wonderful tracks clocks in at over 31 minutes! A double one-disc EP? No matter what, Idle Easel sees the band in a transitional period, as the duo of Amelia Besseny and Cooper Bowman left Newcastle for Hobart, Tasmania during the recording sessions. The record has this heavy feeling of leaving something behind for something new, a feeling that is kind of boosted by the rather melancholic, autumnal presence that runs throughout Idle Easel. Blasting these songs in a currently very rainy Gothenburg in full, blown-out autumn mode certainly adds, but there's more to it than that. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e'Wolkenträume' blends prominent Tassie location recordings with sparse keyboard melodies and angel-like singing - which after slowly coming down from an intense Ron Nagorcka period feels like the perfect bridge back to the grim, cold, northern reality. 'Autumnal Hymn' is one of those rather minimal, lovely piano songs courtesy of Amelia, with harmonies that could only be Troth. Placed halfway through the EP, the peculiar 'Kind Of Cure' almost comes like a palette cleanser from the unform. Exquisite thickness, while not exactly jolly, a sort-of eccentric and lush take on folk music. 'Angel Not So Easy' has that hazy club-feel, coming from the same place as the title track on Forget The Curse and the IDDB 7\" A-side, always maintaining that glorious DIY-edge. 'Sunflower' further explores the mixture of beats and saxophone hinted at on the last album, here with wobbly, seasick-inducing qualities of the best possible kind. On the closer 'Sentimental Object' you can hear traces of Troth's early cassette days. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e- Matthias Andersson\/Discreet Music, October 2023\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fantastique","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43747473981648,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0554\/4201\/4416\/files\/troth.jpg?v=1703117309"},{"product_id":"dead-c-deux-nuit-a-paris-2xcd","title":"Dead C - Deux Nuit A Paris 2xCD (ltd to 300)","description":"\u003cp\u003eLimited to 300.

The result is a voyage into dynamic sonic territory, with the band’s wide array of influences—from house to punk and beyond—combining to create something vibrant and unexpected.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ebandcamp \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/opticsink.bandcamp.com\/album\/glass-blocks\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/opticsink.bandcamp.com\/album\/glass-blocks\u0026amp;source=gmail\u0026amp;ust=1716064266587000\u0026amp;usg=AOvVaw1UpBlJJCi6uGU54jvINK57\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehttps:\/\/opticsink.\u003cwbr\u003ebandcamp.com\/album\/glass-\u003cwbr\u003eblocks\u003c\/wbr\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003espotify -\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/artist\/1MvvtvDxR26LUL1mFc6aik\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/artist\/1MvvtvDxR26LUL1mFc6aik\u0026amp;source=gmail\u0026amp;ust=1716064266587000\u0026amp;usg=AOvVaw3GrgYI74JQzg1lrbEsidco\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehttps:\/\/open.spotify.com\/\u003cwbr\u003eartist\/1MvvtvDxR26LUL1mFc6aik\u003c\/wbr\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eyoutube\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=T6IK1u2zlUM\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v%3DT6IK1u2zlUM\u0026amp;source=gmail\u0026amp;ust=1716064266587000\u0026amp;usg=AOvVaw2hcoSPqVAXnxFd30ZXFqvf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.youtube.\u003cwbr\u003ecom\/watch?v=T6IK1u2zlUM\u003c\/wbr\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e (\u003cwbr\u003eofficial video for “Modelesque”)\u003c\/wbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003einstagram - \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/opticsink\/?hl=en\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/opticsink\/?hl%3Den\u0026amp;source=gmail\u0026amp;ust=1716064266587000\u0026amp;usg=AOvVaw1_bHvppsE49jMsaYM-akTp\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/\u003cwbr\u003eopticsink\/?hl=en\u003c\/wbr\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePRESS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #0a0a0a;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"The band, featuring members of Memphis outfit NOTS, embraces a slippery strain of synth-punk, feeling like heirs to the cross pollination of punk and disco.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e- Raven Sings The Blues\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"All things \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan class=\"il\"\u003eOptic\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"il\"\u003eSink\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e are minimal post-punk, synth punk, and new wave, all given by synthesizers, a bass, and a singer whose voice and style are reminiscent of the early days of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSiouxsie\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePoly Styrene\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAnja Huwe\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, and the bizarreness of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eElisabeth Fraser\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.

Dustbin of Empathy opens with a voyage across Europe and down the generations, a tribute to the tenacity of the small people who survive massive events. One tune is about a simple nightwatchman, who “guards the square”, servant of a city, observer of the puzzle. Another has an anti-war bias. Peace! Another is a trip of a kind, Angel (The Astronomer), an eerie voyage into the “sinuses” of space. Most of the tunes were co-written. A couple were penned by Direen alone. The high quality of these recordings, and the independence experience of the musicians who made it happen, make it likely Radio New Zealand and local stations will playlist them. It is hard to choose one stand-out track for campus radios worldwide, will it be the alluring “Lately Rain”, the epic Citizens of Nowhere that opens the album, the harder edge of Anvil Dark or the inventive net cast by Custody of Love and others? Pure quality to take you from Dustbin to Empathy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSPECIAL BONUS album \"Nictate\" available on cassette as a pre-order add-on.  Nictate's Side A is mostly Direen\/McManus\/Swanson spillovers from the Dustbin relay sessions, an alternative route from the LP. But this is no residuum. In 22 minutes, six tales of marginality pass by cafés of experimentalism and heresy, intersecting with psycho-acoustic secrets known only to the sound producers.

The music grew from a book published by Grapefruit in 2023 ('100 Years of Darkness'). The result was fifteen\u003cbr\u003emicro-tunes that fit together like an armadillo’s tiles.

It followed a 10” on Ecstatic Peace a couple of years earlier. Rachel Shearer (who is the Lovely Midget) had, however, been busy since the late 80’s in the rock groups Angelhead (a cassette on XPRESSWAY), and Queen Meanie Puss (singles on Siltbreeze and Flying Nun). She spent the latter part of the 1990s perfecting her engineering skills and developing the modus operandi that made Lovely Midget possible.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe music of Lovely Midget is all about texture, there’s not just an LM ‘sound’, there’s an LM ‘feel’ as well. This is achieved by careful and extensive digital modification of recorded sounds. Their origin might be instrumental (as she claims for much of this album) but they sound ultimately anything but. This is a painstaking, almost lapidary approach, which produces highly polished fragments of sound, constructed like a mosaic into more-than-lifesize pictures in sound. Sounds are sanded away, then reconstructed from piles of dust-like granules; they are polished into unnatural brilliance, then dirtied up again into new shapes mimicking nature, but with subtle yet undeniable differences. At its most extreme this can produce an other-worldly ‘underwater’ sound, where every sonic event is heard through a curtain of intangible but unavoidable substance. Even the ‘songs’, where these exist as frameworks for the pieces, have been stripped back to their musical chassis and reassembled in the same order but to a different end. The effect is like listening to the ghosts of a yet unborn generation, paradoxical and uncanny.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eLovely Midget was thus totally contemporary in the production sense at the fin de siecle, using state-of-the-art tools, but the music was and remains uncategorisable, achingly cool NZ soundwork for the 21st Century.

Pour yourself a glass of top-shelf vodka straight from the freezer and listen up as these beautiful dreamy drones and hovering inverted sound sculptures softly clash like floating icebergs of sound in a frozen fjord.
