In a modern jazz age where compositional skills lead to highly intricate pieces, there’s something refreshing about encountering an ensemble that hitches themselves to a melody and rides it from first note to last. On the debut from the quintet DD Horns, the group infuses their music with a mix of laid-back nonchalance and celebratory spirit that’s built for the heart of Saturday night. There’s the jitterbug energy of “Fall So Hard,” the molasses-thick groove of “Squiggly,” and the hard-stomping “Aliso Canyon Rangers,” but they’re not afraid to slow things down on “My Body is a Cage” and the two-part “Book of Love,” which both starts the album out and brings it to a close. Your DD Horns are trumpeter Danny T. Levin, tenor saxophonist David Moyer, bassist JP Maramba, guitarist Blake Straus and drummer Michael Villiers.
Performed by The Residents with N. Senada and Snakefinger. Released April 18, 2017
"Daydream B-Liver" was released by The Residents' Fan Club UWEB in 1991.
It's an assortment of music from the years 1971 to 1991. The oldest
material is a recording of a live show at The Boarding House in '71. The
Residents were assisted by Snakefinger for the event. Then there is
three tracks from the "Stars & Hank Forever" sessions that were not
used on the original album. "Daydream In Space" was recorded by the band
especially for this compilation. It is a nod to Sun Ra and Barry White.
"Dog Glue" is an unused snippet from the "Baby King" music used on "The
King And Eye". The 1990s are represented by music from the "Freak Show"
and "Cube E" sessions, including a live rehearsal for a German TV show.
The song that gives the album its title (apart from it being part B of
"Liver Music") is a cover version of The Monkees' hit single of the
(nearly) same name. As a bonus, we have included the "Special Almost
Dance Mix" of "Hit The Road Jack", a song that The Residents recorded in
1987 as a follow-up to "Kaw-Liga". This version has previously never
been available on CD. Comes with a new front cover by Pore No Graphics.
There's some vintage The Residents being posted on Klanggalerie these days . . .
The Residents - Snakey wake released April 18, 2017
The Residents met Philip Lithman in 1969. They became immediate friends
and began playing music together. Snakefinger participated in many
Residents projects with 1986 being a particularly good year for their
working together. Plans were made to tour again in 1989, but fate
decreed otherwise. While on a European tour, Snakefinger died on July
1st, 1987 in Linz, Austria. He was buried in London, and many of his
friends in San Francisco found it difficult to accept a death so far
from home. So The Residents organized a party, a wake. They arrived in
black with black net wrapped around their bodies and each carried an
open black umbrella. They went to their instruments without introduction
and played a series of old English laments and Hank Williams' "Six more
miles". This newly remastered CD presents you the studio version of
this special performance (as issued by UWEB in 1988) plus the whole
recording of the live performance which was previously only available as
a digital download. It also includes a special set by N. Senada.
Shortly after I began making trips to Linz, Austria on a regular basis, I wanted to (in a morbid way, I suppose), see where Snakefinger had died. The Posthof club still has live music and performers can stay cheaply in the adjoining Gästehaus. It was there that he suffered his fatal heart attack.
