  • To my big surprise, out on Bandcamp today:
     Stuart Staples was already nurturing seeds for a different kind of Tindersticks album before lockdown halted their tour in early 2020. If 2019’s “No Treasure but Hope” saw the band rediscovering themselves as a unit, the follow-up reconfigures that unit so that everything familiar about Tindersticks sounds fresh again. “Distractions” is an album of subtle realignments and connections from a restless, intuitive band. Rich in texture and atmosphere, it lives between its open spaces and details, always finding new ways to connect with a song.
    If it’s an album that resists easy summation, at least one thing is clear: though it isn’t untouched by the lockdown, “Distractions” is not ‘a lockdown album’. As Staples says, “I think the confinement provided an opportunity for something that was already happening. It is definitely a part of the album, but not a reaction to it.”

    This CD premieres ten works from David Lee Myers, the “Darwin of electromagnetic lifeforms."

    The album’s content spontaneously emerged from Myers’ self-designed, hand-built conglomerations of elaborately interconnected sound processing devices, with no external audio input. Some call the results “sounds from the ether” (hence this album’s title).

    The CD’s music is distinctive and enticing. We hear an hallucinatory trip to a Martian jungle; irregular bongos overlaid with frog-croaked arpeggios; a rapidly sputtering, helium-inhaling synthesizer; a demented organ, gasping for life; all concluding with the placid atmosphere of dorsal streaming, tinged with calming panpipe-like chuffing.

    - Starkland - Bandcamp


    "My sound works are the result of capture, selection, processing and combination.  Essentially, I do not create sounds or compose, but allow latent or unseen forces and processes to present themselves via simple technologies.  I select the methods, set the stage, and as the phenomena emerge I of course introduce my own aesthetic judgements to the mix.  Therefore the sounds which are presented are neither completely random science nor the gesture of an artist's hand, but something between the two, and I believe this to be the most effective approach toward evoking meaningful impressions of unseen worlds." 
    Collaborations with other artists have included Asmus Tietchens, Tod Dockstader, Ellen Band, Marco Oppedisano, Thomas Dimuzio, Gen Ken Montgomery, Alexander Ross, and VidnaObmana.

    David Lee Myers: feedback matrices and sound mangling at Pulsewidth studio, Black Spring day one
    "Audio drama for your ears and mind. Suggested for play in the dark!"


    released March 5, 2021
    - "Two Eventide H9 processors go at each other in a battle to the death via matrix mixing. The result was both curiously satisfying and impossible to duplicate. All sounds generated by the H9s, no oscillators, sequencers etc. Certainly no organs! Rather lo-fi at points, but perhaps better to present this as-is since it cannot be recreated."
    - David Lee Myers

    Finally out on Bandcamp:
    “Ann Elisha Westergaard Hansen, songwriter, singer and guitarist, and Ole Tin Westergaard Hansen, songwriter, producer, trumpet-player and multi- instrumentalist – have made a masterpiece of an album here in the beginning of 2021.
    Melodic power and lyrics that touches you right away. A production with so many details and layers that alone for that reason should be mandatory for music lovers. It has a sublime wood-like - and at the same time floating - aesthetic, and is also just basically catchy. Yet, it is not an easily digestible diet suited for dishwashing. It calls for re-listening and immersion. And it makes invitation to go to a place that I think many of us longs for. A place where - in the same breath – one can find stillness and yet stretch the neck to see and understand more of the world and oneself. The album rotates in my home around the clock at the moment.”

    David Fenech & Klimperei - Rainbow de Nuit
    Maestro melodist Christophe Petchanatz (aka Klimperei) and all around music fanatic David Fenech engage remotely in a repetitive exchange of recordings and overdubs on their debut album titled ‘Rainbow de Nuit’, sporadically spanning over the last decade. Evocations of experimental and improvised jazz, chansonesque songs, bluesy folk, and outsider music undulate harmoniously across the record. From music boxes and walkie-talkies down to plastic straws, plucking various stringed instruments such as the charrango and banjo, kazoos and snake-charmer ocarina and flutes, all the way through the sweet accordion and melodica, found and traditional tuned percussion - there is far from a shortage of sound sources on this freakishly inviting record. What germinates as an imaginative and emotional chord progression played by Klimperei, evolves with Fenech layering additional recordings, which would then find their way back home to Klimperei yet again, and so on, and so forth. This recursive compositional and improvisational loop, combined with Fenech’s musique-concrete-like mixing and editing techniques, transforms the acoustic recordings by way of compression, saturation, and reverberation or simple pitch changes - resulting in the duo’s recordings seemingly sound like they may very well be an octet in real time. While the majority of the recordings have been ping-ponged remotely, David and Christophe unite under one roof to record the closing track of the album.
    The pieces presented on ‘Rainbow de Nuit’ treat the ears to a carousel ride waltzing through a multiverse made up of surrealist puppet theaters, dramatic film noir act changes, and a mosaic of polyphonic instruments and toys alike. In other words, a score to a fable brought to life with haunting yet charming melodies and occasional hallucinatory voices reminiscent of laughter and infantile epiphanies which we hear on Tarzan en Tasmanie and Madrigal for Lola. This is taken a step further by Fenech, to a brief libretto of incomprehensible tongues on Pocarina. Amid the mysterious and dark (Septième Ciel and Rugit Le Coeur) also lies tender and simple compositions (Rainbow de Nuit and Chevalier Gambette), murky suspenseful melancholy (Levy Attend and Eno Ennio), and casually slipping into pensive psychedelic backdrops (Un Cercueil à Deux Places) - forming a colorful blend of sounds. A world of echoes. A tale of tales. One persistent earworm that you’ll likely be whistling and humming along to on a first listen. 


  • Just announced
  • Been looking at this. For something labeled "complete," it sure isn't unfortunately.

    I didn't even know the label was still going. Details?

  • edited April 2021
    Actually, along with this, there's a new Armstrong box set as well,
    so, yeah, they're hanging in there.

  • There is going to be a monster-sized (12 LP, 8 CD) new "Complete Live at the Lighthouse" set. Looks like the full Mosaic-style package, though issued by Blue Note https://www.wbgo.org/music/2021-06-03/a-legendary-stand-by-the-lee-morgan-quintet-finally-sees-full-release-as-the-complete-live-at-the-lighthouse

    The 12-LP boxed set Live at the Lighthouse





  • Due out September 24 on Concord. Corea, Patitucci & Weckl performing as the Akoustic Band some 33 years after their first release as the Elektric Band. Like that 1985 release (Live from Elario's) this is from a live performance. 2 cds or 3 lps.

  • Just to point out that many of the releases on the WBGO list - which is pretty much a list of all the interesting jazz coming this fall - are available for pre-order at Bandcamp. However, none of the labels for these releases have current albums available at eMusic.
