Eskie

2009-07-09T17:17:00.000-07:00

Very soon, we'll be seeing a minor departure for the typical FD (if there is such a thing) interview: a conversation with Erik "Eskie" Scott. Erik's past is full of interesting engagements, including playing with Flo and Eddie and Alice Cooper.

Recently, he's ventured out on his own and decided to focus on a bass record. While it isn't non-idiomatic, it's a beauty of an interstellar slab. What's more, the man is a great interview--and he uses his pooch Maui for lead vocals on one track.

Maui is also the pilot of his spaceship. Keep on the lookout for this conversation. It provides a peek into what it's been like to play with "big acts," the changes of the music industry over the years and a great look at a professional musician who too often gets derided for being such by us elitist pricks. The guy is a class act, and I can't wait to put up the interview to putty bomb all your pretentious expectations.

The New York Eye & Ear Fest II

2009-07-09T12:53:00.000-07:00

New York's own home-grown music fest returns for a non-cold outing! Official excitement below.

The NY EYE & EAR FESTIVAL has been praised by the Village Voice as being "a first of its kind" and Arthur Magazine describes it as "a giant, swarming, lovingly handpicked showcase of grassroots cultural production in New York". Pendu presents: NY Eye & Ear Fest II ... a massive 4-day New Music and Arts Fete showcasing some of the most exciting bands, artists, and filmmakers currently living and working here in NYC. In addition, NYE&E assembles a Record Fair featuring NYC-based Record Labels and Vendors selling LPs, CDs, 7''s, cassettes, lathes, comics, zines, stickers, and art prints. The title of the fest is inspired from the 1964 NY Eye & Ear Control soundtrack by Albert Ayler as well as the all-too-familiar signs seen daily in the subway tunnels by riders of the L-train of the infamous NY Eye & Ear Infirmary. If you don't know all of the names in the lineup, don't be alarmed; NYE&E exists to facilitate the introduction of new artists placing them side-by-side with the more well-known like an eclectic living mixtape of sound and vision. This is a festival for discovery - discover new bands + discover new art + buy new records + meet new people... The festival prices are low to make them affordable in these difficult financial times, so please show your support and buy your tickets now...!

The inaugural NY Eye & Ear Festival in December 2008 was an incredible success! A big thanks goes out to everyone who attended (especially those who bought records). Thanks goes out to all of the amazing music that is being packaged and created here in New York… Cheers to all the bands and labels who participated. In some ways this seemed an impossible feat to accomplish. 13 bands played on the first day and then a nearly unheard of 23 bands the next? On top of that, 39 NY record labels were represented together in the same room as the bands (which made for a tight fit). Well it happened. It worked, and more than that, it was AWESOME! Hope you come out to the next one in July. Bigger and better, onward and on.

NYE&E FEST is curated by Todd Pendu of the Pendu Organization, a nonprofit arts and cultural organization based in Brooklyn, NY. *Email NYE&E: info(at)pendu.org

A Huge Loss: Dani Baquet-Long

2009-07-09T12:09:00.000-07:00

I got a message from a friend this morning, asking if I'd heard the news... when I found out what he was talking about, I was speechless. I still am. Dani Baquet-Long (of Celer) passed away yesterday. She was 26. Her husband and partner-in-crime, Will, posted this message this morning:

Dear friends,

With great sadness I have to announce to you, our friends, that Dani passed away yesterday, July 8. On Tuesday morning I woke to find her unconscious, and not breathing. The medics were called, and she was revived, but fell directly into a coma and didn't wake up. She passed away yesterday at 3pm, with her family by her. All that is known to say why is that her heart stopped, for no foreseeable reason. The only relation is that her father died in the same way, of a cardiac arrest at the age of 29. She was 26.

Right now I don't know how to express the loss and sadness I feel, knowing that someone so ultimately close to me, and such an inspiration and friend to so many other people in the world is gone. All I can say is that she won't be forgotten, or pushed aside only because she's gone. She'll always be with me, as my inspiration, my love, my everything. All I can say is I miss her, every second.

Right now I won't be able to answer many emails, as there's only so much I can talk about this. Time will heal this, but I know the sadness will never go away. This, I'm ok with, as I never want to forget every way she changed my life, and touched my heart.

I appreciate all your support and love, and even though many of you only knew her through her poetry, or her music, I hope they are good memories.

Also, here was her favorite quote: 'The Meaning is in the Wonder" - Kenneth Patchen

Sincerely,
Will

some digitalis news

2009-07-07T11:29:00.001-07:00

hey everyone,

just a little news & small distro update...

so we're about ready to drop two new CDs, both of which have been in the works for a bit and both of which we're extremely excited about. now, both CDs couldn't be more different but are both fuggin great.

first up is the second album from japan's GREEN BLOSSOMS. their first CDR from a few years ago on pseudoarcana was an instant favorite of ours, but this one - "whiskey leaves" (digi054) - is another beast entirely. this duo of anthony guerra & aiko kogo will be a welcome addition to fans of tenniscoats, tujiko noriko & the like. fractured folk songs with familiar melodies and breezy instrumentation are the perfect antidote for the heat of summer. after one listen, you find yourself singing along to kogo's vocals. the songs are deceptively simple, but insanely catchy all the same. this short & sweet album will find itself in your CD player on repeat instantly. trust me.

sound sample #1: "hana-akari"
sound sample #2: "whiskey leaves"

"whiskey leaves" will be available in two different editions in mid/late july. regular CD edition of 500 copies, and CD + 3" CDR edition of 75 copies that features a 3" CDR of two extended, ghostly songs made from blissed-out aiko vocals and synth, packaged in handmade sleeves.

second is a brand new full-length CD from portland's own PULSE EMITTER. been a fan of daryl groetsch's synthetic concoctions for years now, so i'm thrilled to offer up this modular synth masterpiece. "oppressive nature"(ACE024) is a 40 minute excursion into cities that will soon be lost and overrun. the thematic idea here is wilderness inevitable reclamation of the concrete jungles we've amassed. and nature always wins. on "oppressive nature," we find groetsch highly focused and dialed in. heavy saw waves weave a chaotic mass of urban debris, smoothed over and sanded by the sine waves of time. there is something about "oppressive nature" that feels like a modern-day epic.

sound sample: track 2 (untitled)

"oppressive nature" will be available in mid/late july in a CD edition of 500 copies in stumptown-style chipboard cases.

if you want to pre-order either of these titles, get in touch .

also, we have a small number of copies of the new split cassette on anathema sound between the north sea and bones of seabirds. this c64 is an edition of 80 and features two north sea tracks that were recorded in late 08 and early 09. i view these pieces as the starting point for what has now become my next record for type. tape is available for $6 US/$7 CAN/$8 WORLD.

working on the next tape batch as well which will feature enfer boreal, sovetskaya gone (dbl tape), the shitty listener, ossining (s.gone+the north sea), m geddes gengras, & more. next CDs after these two will be the double dose of barn owl solo: brand new albums from elm ("nemcatacoa") and evan caminiti ("psychic mud shrine"). these two are absolute beasts.

much love,
brad

Sparkling Wide Pressure "Reborn in Action"

more pictures

Frank Baugh revels and fights, spits fuzzy flames of antifreeze. In the glow of the embers of morning, stars squeeze light from the annals of history. Under the blankets, toes trade steps. The truth can be found in those moments when the whole world stops for just one tiny event, or when it stops for nothing at all. Whispering in our ears, breathing the frost of November and the life of March, whispering, whispering these little changes into view... It's 1988, your boombox is turned on low. You're laying on your bed, watching the clouds herd themselves outside your window with just the tips of tree branches to push off of and you can feel your heart lift, the full body knowledge of the power of this purring music. There is no more fight, no more pit, just sweet fruit and juice.

Black or white c35 tape with snips of Frank's painting glued on, wrapped in glued, reused paperboard sleeve. "Insert" has painting by Frank on the front and words on the back, attached to the sleeve with a brad. Limited edition of 45. US: $6ppd Everywhere else: $8ppd.

LOCRIAN | Visible/Invisible 3" CD

Released in honor and support of Locrian's upcoming midwest/east-coast
Summer Tour. This 3" shows a different perhaps even uplifting side of
Locrian - an 11 minute synth heavy drone with layered guitar backed with
the reverse version of the track. "Visible/Invisible" was originally
released on a long-gone split tape(with Daleth), and featured in a Scott
Treleaven video work with Throbbing Gristle's Genesis P-Orridge.
Edition of 93 copies.

Li Jianhong/ Lovers with Cloisonne Bracelet / TBT009

Hangzhou's Li Jianhong has been performing alone and in the duo
D!O!D!O!D! for several years, but he only caught Western ears last year
with the monumental /San Sheng Shi/, released by Philadelphia's Archive
CD. Oceanic and desolate, /Lovers with Cloisonn//e Bracelet/ cements Li
as a distinctive voice in modern noise. The two halves of this record
are an ideal introduction to Li's music: "Lovers in Misery" offers a
restrained, electric swell; "Time in the Mirror" wallows in
Hototogisu-an guitar hell. Without sacrificing pacing for density, Li
has crafted an album that decimates the retrograde psychedelic guitar
landscape and trivializes the petty violence of much harsh noise.

Edition of 350 180 gm. LPs in heavy-stock linen-paper sleeves
hand-screened, cut, and glued by Reuben Little of 43^rd Parallel Press.

Mrtyu / Ornate Shroud / TBT010 and SAB006

Hopefully Mrtyu requires little introduction, because the project evades
easy description. An odd compound of Vedic imagery, metal misanthropy,
and violin agony, this music moves away from any particular fan base in
pursuit of its distant, darkened idols. /Ornate Shroud/ is Mrtyu's
most potent spawn to date. Hewing closer to song form than previous
releases, the album conceals Antony Milton's violent guitar and violin
work behind Mrtyu's characteristic murk. Its pieces transition from
jagged riffs to eerie ambient scrapes through wooly feedback,
approaching the uncanny. Although the year is yet young, 2009 will
likely not produce a bleaker aggraga record.

Edition of 350 180 gm. LPs in heavy-stock linen-paper sleeves
hand-screened, cut, and glued by Reuben Little of 43^rd Parallel
Press. Available from Tipped Bowler in the US and Faunasabbatha in
France.

Prices: $17/ $31 for both US ppd. $27/$45 for both international

DIGITALIS V. THE HEAT

2009-06-23T21:37:00.001-07:00

hey everyone,

holy shit it's hot. so fucking hot. it's officially over 100 today and i pretty much just want to go hide in a cave, which is what our apartment has basically become. bunker down. so while we try to beat the heat with copious amounts of AC, we fold and dub for you:

ltd#76: meditations "precipice" c20 $7 US / $9 INTL
with a name like meditations, you'd probably assume something with a spritual bend would be coming up the tubes. but no worries - these sprawlers are looking to take you deep down into the muddy depths. this trio absolutely kills it on "precipice." blown-out, brooding synths pummel your senses left and right while vocals from hell taunt you into taking the fall. this is one dark fucking ride, a cut-up masterful mess. specks of light try to escape in the form of distant, bright melodies but they're quickly destroyed by the impending hellacious mess. awesome. edition of 65, pro-dubbed purple monsters. pics & audio: http://www.foxydigitalis.com/ltd76.html

ltd#82: space dive "twenty-first century sport" c39 $7 US / $9 INTL
once again i struggle to yammer on about my own projects, so i'll keep this short and sweet and let the sound samples speak for themselves. story is, even as the north sea shifted focus, i was still writing songs here & there on the old guitar. but in those manifestations, they weren't doing much for me. what to do? rework the songs for synthesizer, listen to a lot of bauhaus and suicide, and see what happens. so there you go. SPACE DIVE. edition of 100, pro-dubbed high-bias blue moons. pics & audio: http://www.foxydigitalis.com/ltd82.html

ltd#86: young boys/fm.face split c28 $7 US / $9 INTL
oh this little gem of mine, spit & shine spit & shine. young boys and fm.face are two newborn projects hailing from opposite coasts, but when they join forces on this tape it's to melt your face off. young boys kick it on first with thick reverb post-punk spirit and stonewalled vocals belting it out, these five songs are covered in new york slime. these songs are bleak but laced with something sweet that keeps you coming back for more and more.

fm.face is like the rascally younger brother who is out to show how he can really fuck shit up in a royally awesome way. these songs are punked-out wastelands. angular guitar lines repeat to infinity on top of overblown drum machines while fm.face just absolutely fucking belts it out. look out below. edition of 100, half on black, half on white, pro-dubbed pounds. pics & audio: http://www.foxydigitalis.com/ltd86.html

ltd#87: black eagle child & goodwillies "bamboo airships" c40 $7 US / $9 INTL
it's pretty common knowledge that here at digitalis hq we love (FUCKING LOVE) collaborations, postal and otherwise. so when the black eagle child himself approached me with the idea of this release, jaws dropped and praises were sung. once the master showed up, every expectation and preconception was put to pasture and blown to outerspace. what an absolute beast.

black eagle child weaves a devastating web of guitar exploration here, opening the proceedings with simple chord progressions that long for death. tim goodwillie brings it up a notch with equally biting organ drones. the combination is stunning x10. you will ache. and you will love it. and when it folds in on itself and becomes a summer jamboree mixed with keyboard fuzz and hypnobeats, the sweetness reaches new heights. scorched earth guitar workouts find their way into the mix and find themselves engulfed in a psychedelic swash of tribal debris. just fucking wow. incredible art by tim goodwillie. edition of 80, pro-dubbed napalm tapes.pics & audio: http://www.foxydigitalis.com/ltd87.html

ltd#88: pink priest "cat tails // at the mouth of swollen summer" c20 $7 US / $9 INTL
this semi-recent discovery has quickly manifested itself as one of my total faves. pink priest hails from northeast arkansas and is further proof that there's tons of amazing, amazing shit happening in the furthest reaches of the u.s. "cat tails // at the mouth of swollen summer" is the perfect soundtracked for the soul-melting heat that's currently crushing tulsa. pink priest finds simple, exquisite melodies and plucks them out of the air only to drown them under 20,000 leagues of sea water.

keyboards are bent and mangled into unrecognizable swells; tones pitch forward looking like they're ready to take the ultimate swan dive. this music is dense, but more like a wall of helium than a mass of steel. minimal percussive bursts pop up at times adding a mechanical resonance to the proceedings. when pink priest adds in sepulchral vocal incantations it's like aa perfect drug. all the while, though, these synthetic, keyed drones light a new path through the ozark skies. total diamond style. edition of 75, pro-dubbed ivory beasts. pics & audio: http://www.foxydigitalis.com/ltd88.html

ltd#90: charlatan "destinations" c30 $7 US / $9 INTL
the rise (or fall) of charlatan continues on an upward arc of synth excess. tonal bliss, minimal shifts, arpeggios to the sky. oklahoma confined. incredible art by hoy-joy. edition of 70, pro-dubbed aqua dreams. pics & audio: http://www.foxydigitalis.com/ltd90.html

ltd#91: ester poland "hippi, kanuuna ja Kiinan torni" c66 $7 US / $9 INTL
man, finland... it never stops does it? it really never does. just when you think the terrain has been scoured and every last pore drained til the last drop, something new comes along with such star-searching bombast that you get knocked square on your ass all over again. ester poland are the latest in a long line of impeccable sound sculptors out of finland, but this screeching duo are riding their own astral baby well into the new millenium. pics & audio: http://www.foxydigitalis.com/ltd91.html

guitar freakouts worm there way into cavernous squalls, stretching from here to forever. even when they pull things back and break out the acoustic strum, there's so much cacaphony happening under the surface that you'll never escape the chaos. these blasts are psychedelic as fuck and will strip you down to the absolute core. finland wins again. edition of 60, pro-dubbed green-foil foliage. pics & audio: http://www.digitalisindustries.com/ltd91.html

epic styling. package deals available if you want all/most of the new ones, etc... we love to give ya good deals, so EMAIL ME!!!

coming soon will be tapes from the likes of xela, enfer boreal, the as-yet-untitled north sea & sovetskaya gone duo, the shitty listener, more pink priest, etc. vinyl bombs from seht, andrew coltrane/steve kenney, & BUGSKULL. cds from pulse emitter & green blossoms + the dueling albums from each member of barn owl, solo style. SUMMER FTW!

much love,
brad

Quick and Dirty: Violent Squid, Oaxacan and Sir Richard Bishop at Rubber Gloves in Denton, TX

2009-06-13T06:57:00.000-07:00

Okay, I’m lame, but I’ll do this quick. At Rubber Gloves in Denton there played 3 bands. The first of which was local anesthetic Violent Squid, who played a mostly subdued, sitty-downy affair complete with reel-to-real punctuations across a lovely, wilting Dead C inspired atonal guitar. The feminine vox bled in and breathed out, alternating between caressing, beatific moments of bright harmony and vibrato-laden crescendos of dissonance. To me, the music had a cubist character which exhibited sharp, vivcolor contrasts, sometimes swelling into fresh movements but often sporting hard lines and departures.

Oaxacan played a wholly improvised set, or so the guitarist told me. It was precise, and as Lee over at Womblife said, was reminiscent of both “Torch of the Mystics” era Sun City Girls with a little of that sweet ol’ Beefheartian twang thrown in. That probably explains the seamless quality transferred between them and Sir Richard Bishop’s white-light set of stellar melodies and improvisations because they also backed him up.

But the highlight of the night was seeing Bishop play. I’ve never heard a hollow body ring out so pure and rich, and he’s absolutely become a master of his instrument. I have to be careful here not to overreach, not to use too many superlatives because those have become so mundane when writing about music, but the most humble and most accurate thing I can say is that, after his set, I felt replenished. I felt human. The oscillations between those ungodly beautiful melodies and creative destruction was, as near as I could tell, perfectly balanced. The band’s precision was undeniable, their passion unmistakable.

Plus I finally met Robert Millis (mentioned in a post below) who was traveling with Bishop and handling his merchandise. It was an amazing night and I wholly recommend that, if they’re coming anywhere around you, you check them out.

SOCIAL JUNK & BLACK TO COMM CDS ON DIGITALIS!

2009-06-11T22:08:00.000-07:00

hey everyone,

fuck me, took FOREVER to get these up on the site and for that i apologize. NO EXCUSES! but the wait is worth it, trust me, cuz these gems are cooking:

ACE018: SOCIAL JUNK "BORN INTO IT" CD $13 / CD+CASSETTE $18
Social Junk have blasted through walls, east & west, over the past few years cranking out some serious sparklers along the way. Now after dropping a megaslice of deliciousness on Not Not Fun last year, this duo follow it up with a journey through the mother earth canal. "Born Into It" stretches across the lands with thudding percussion and hypno synth excursions. Waves of swirling vocals from both Heather Young and Noah Anthony. You may have just been born, but stretch those wings baby because it's time to fucking fly.

There's no going back once you take the first plunge on "Born Into It." Immediately, through no fault of your own, you'll be drawn in and tied down. At times it feels like Young & Anthony are scouring the lands, taking in whatever technological progress they can find and chewing it up and spitting it out into a gloriously dissonant pile. This is music for the next wave; music to find your way back to the sun. Social Junk are soaring like never before and "Born Into It" is their latest testament to a new world.

ACE026: BLACK TO COMM "CHARLEMAGNE & PIPPIN" CD $13
Marc Richter's new Black to Comm offering "Charlemagne & Pippin" churns out a slowly, methodically building single-tone battleship, that somehow manages to become more powerful, hopeful, and grandiose as it oscillates. Richter's characteristic organ noise is rounded off beautifully with various electronics, bells, metal percussion, toys, water, and violins, provided by band members Renate Nikolaus and Ulf Schütte ,which grow around the central note yet slowly move to the center themselves. The Bursting electronics, white noise, and buzzes become more frequent and attempt to overpower the mighty organ.

Together, these three musicians bring about a musical pairing that suits the title. A pairing of power and play, father and son, age and youth. Its probably best to turn the lights off and the speakers up for this meditative 35 minute slab of drone excellence. PICS & AUDIO: http://www.foxydigitalis.com/ace026.html

NEW DIGITALIS TAPES

2009-06-02T21:13:00.001-07:00

hey all you lovers,

it's that time of the month again:

ltd#67: john davis "vines go roaming" c49 $7 US/$9 INTL
this one has been a long-time coming and only i am to blame for the slowness in which it has FINALLY appeared. but patience is a virtue and all that biz, so just be happy its here now because SF-drone king john davis has crafted an absolute doozy.

"vines go roaming" features two immense, side-long pieces. davis takes simple ingredients and puts them through god only knows only to have something beautiful and stunning float out the other side. side a features guitar, field recordings and electronics where side b is simply accordian and electronics. it's stripped bare before he makes it whole again. the subtle shifts in tone radiate through the air expanding toward the heavens on a cloud of molasses. this is epic music. edition of 90, pro-dubbed and houses in hand-stamped 'pillow boxes.'

ltd#72: generals & such "quixote" c73 $7 US/$9 INTL
this is a first for digitalis & friends... this baby is produced from a painted score. yep, painted scores. how fucking cool is that? well, based on the results from this trio of californians: christian kiefer, timothy rowan, & erik werner - it's pretty damn cool. here's a little background... generals & such, this is what they do. they play painted/graphic scores. this one is produced by werner (don't know if they all are) and this one is a 15 ft painting based on the first eight chapters of don quixote. i feel like i don't need to say anything else because that is simply incredible.

but i won't taunt you... what do you get with a 15 ft painted score? scattershot percussion anchoring acoustic & electric guitars making skronks and waves. werner's acoustic playing at times reminds me of akiyama. rowan offsets this frenetic playing with calm and cool reverb-drenched spirals. it's an awesome contrast. the music progresses and unfolds slowly. kiefer's drumming guides the trio through the valleys and deserts, avoiding pitfalls unless necessary. the whole thing just feels monumental. tape is 73 minutes long, but each side is exactly the same. so it's basically a 1-sided c38, but i hate tapes with a blank side. pro-dubbed to boot.

ltd#74: early tunnels "aerial caves" c35 $7 US/$9 INTL
what a swamp this sucker is. throw the body over the side and get the fuck back to shore because there's some serious action about to go down after dusk. early tunnels is the ohio duo of jon lorenz (wasteland jazz unit, etc) and pete fosco (pete fosco, etc) bringing down the blitzkrieg through a mess of electric fences and barbed wire. "aerieal caves" is a gnarly excursion through minefield guitar syndrome, waltzing electronics, and firebrand horns that are guaranteed to peel paint and manufacture all kinds of dissonance with the neighbors. lorenz & fosco don't fuck around. they concoct a steaming cocktail that sounds so foreign you'd swear everything they were playing was from another planet. total kong. edition of 70, pro-dubbed and scrubbed.

ltd#77: dream safari "river submersion" c30 $7 US/$9 INTL
following up his recent burner on excitebike, dream safari is back in the haze clawing his way to the summit. these miniature trips are lost inside a maze of urban caves with nothing but a burned-out lantern. cyclical vocal drones that rise and fall like an ancient sea creature escaping from a blackened abyss. these are the sounds of dying ghosts. drenched in reverb and delay, there's only one way out and that's straight done. dark & hypnotic, you know the rest. editon of 65, pro-dubbed in the light.

ltd#79: cyquoia "age of aquarians" c20 $7 US/$9 INTL
from the washed-out minds of housecraft head honcho jefry astin and his floridian partner-in-crime evan galbicka comes a late farewell to the tropics before treks to the mountainous north. cyquoia have much in common with their housecraft brethren like tricorn & queue and xiphiidae, yet this duo has it's own trail to the flourescent pink sea mapped out in gold.

these blissful drones feel as though they're being drowned in a summer storm. astin & galbicka barely keep their heads above water, but with every breath drawn they churn out an endless flow of synthetic guitar waves. the sound just rolls over you in waves. who needs gold at the end of a rainbow anyway? edition of 80, pro-dubbed on lilac tapes, gold labels.

ltd#80: hanging thief s/t c66 $7 US/$9 INTL
i'm keeping this one simple. it's huge. absolutely fucking huge. thirty minute drones that span the colossal oklahoma skies. hanging thief is barn owl + altar eagle. recorded live in green country when barn owl trekked through on their way back home. two guitars, synthesizer, electronics, & vocals light the night. so many good times were had. edition of 150, pro-dubbed & imprinted on high-bias tapes.

ltd#89: disguises "aeolian hookers" c40 $7 US/$9 INTL
let the insanity begin! these beasts from toronto follow-up their mind-melting LP from last year, "post-mortem depression," with absolute avalanche of hell. jagged guitar swirls get the beat down from a pommel horse of drum bombs. screams escape from the abyss only to be sucked back under by crawling basslines. and then the guitars come at you again and again and again. there's no avoiding this minefield - you're gonna lose a leg.

this is clusterfuck city folks and disguises are your tour guides. these jagged excursions will cut your face open and make you want to apologize for bleeding all over the brand new carpet. edition of 80, pro-dubbed with broken golden fairy art and smeared labels.

check out pics & audio at the site: http://www.digitalisindustries.com/digi_ltd.html
and order 'em there too.

if you want the whole bag it's $44 US / $55 INTL - just EMAIL ME to confirm.

i promised new ARTS & CRAFTS as well, but those are gonna have to wait until monday for proper release. they're ready to go save for the catalog descriptions, so if you want to add either to your order, check this:

ACE018: Social Junk "Born Into It" REGULAR CD EDITION $13 / CD+BONUS TAPE $18
ACE026: Black to Comm "Charlemagne & Pippin" CD $13

you can order by paypalling me at brad@digitalisindustries.com for the total amount - just let me know what you want in the notes out of those and we can ship 'em with any tapes or whatever else you might want to snatch. you can also wait until monday for add to cart buttons if you're so inclined. both CDs are editions of 500 so they should last for a bit.

UP NEXT YOU ASK? the next two CDs come from PULSE EMITTER and THE GREEN BLOSSOMS. they couldn't be more different, but both are incredible. modular synth showers and stripped down japanese pop. yep. next two records will probably be coltrane/kenney and seht (which also includes a 3" CDR w/ additional track).

JUNE TAPE BATCH: space dive, meditations, young boys/fm.face, pink priest, ester poland, & charlatan for sure. black eagle child & goodwillies collab, m. geddes gengras, & enfer boreal are pretty close, but could wait for overripeness in july.

much love as always,
-brad

New Tape Drift titles out

2009-05-20T12:59:00.000-07:00

hey everyone -

a few new Tape Drift goodies are out of the bag. Let me know if you want copies and be sure to check out the website too (www.tapedrift.com). Got copies of some of the older titles too if you need those.

(TD 12) Simon Wickham-Smith “A Seventh Persimmon”

Words are tough when it comes to describing music this astoundingly beautiful. A leading figure in the worldwide experimental music community since the early 90s, Simon Wickham-Smith adds to his sizable body of work with this masterpiece. Three tracks clocking in at almost 60 minutes, Simon’s new work is the result of years spent honing his craft. His influences are drawn from sources far and wide, but the music that results is uniquely his own. Transcending genre altogether but most clearly informed by minimalism, this release is hypnotic, mysterious, and gorgeous. If you’ve followed the arc of his career, you’ll be pleased to see how mature and powerfully focused his musical vision has become. If you’re new to his world, it’s an excellent introduction. To say that it’s an honor for us to be releasing his music would be a massive understatement. A true classic.

(TD16) Our Love Will Destroy the World "Broken Spine Fantasia" C30

Following an initial LP and a few singles on other labels, we present two thrilling live sides documenting recent shows in Australia and New Zealand from Campbell Kneale's new project post-Birchville Cat Motel. Kneale's been a massive personal favorite here at Tape Drift since he first hit the scene in 1997. Reborn in this new guise, he's taking no prisoners and leaving audiences stunned by the majestic power of his noisy epics. It's hard to imagine Campbell topping the peaks of his vast BCM catalog, but these two tracks are a dream come true and suggest he may just have done it. Massively brutal sound here - perhaps one of his noisiest yet, but of course it's got all the hidden melodic elements and attention to detail that you've come to know and love. A psychedelic noise master work that works amazingly well with the oxide of tape.

Send an email (hardiman04@gmail.com) to purchase.

All releases $7 ea, PPD in the U.S., please email for international rates. SPECIAL SALE - buy any three releases for $18 PPD (in the US).

festival of endless gratitude, may 20th-24th 2009

2009-05-19T06:53:00.000-07:00

as the summer slowly approaches in copenhagen, denmark, so does an opportunity to experience 5 days of art and music in the heart of the city. festival of endless gratitude will be a 5 day freak-out with music and art, all sorts of noises and melodies.

the idea of this festival was brought on when ron schneiderman (sunburned hand of the man) was given an artist grant in denmark, which gave him the opportunity to travel to copenhagen and stay for the whole month of may, recording music, playing live shows and collaborating with local musicians. when the idea of having his trip culminate in a music festival came to life, an overwhelming amount of enthusiasm surfaced from bands, artists and friends from all over the place. next thing we know, the program was soaked with great experimental artists and musicians willing to contribute.

the festival will be held at an old roundhouse in the vesterbro district and the art gallery will open up at noon each day. the intention is to examine the relationship between art and music, focusing on the bond between new england and denmark. on friday, the 3rd day of the festival, the first ever viewing of the danish documentary "from behind a hill - a tribute to the modern music of new england" will take place as well as a live lecture by john levin on various personalities of the new england music and art scene.

so if you find yourself anywhere near the danish border this week, drop by the festival and hang out, eat good food and take in the magic moments bound to be created.

NEW DIGI VINYL: CABOLADIES & METAL ROUGE

2009-05-18T17:06:00.001-07:00

hey everyone,

alright, better late than never, but time for our second blast of limited-to-100 LPs. pretty goddamn excited:

digiv007: metal rouge "republican trees" $18 US / $21 CAN / $29 INTL
The duo of Helga Fassonaki and Andrew Scott has quietly become a force in the world of darkside improvisation. Over the years, their sound has evolved like amoebas from the ooze, growing and expanding into something otherworldly. Walls of guitar sherds blast through blackened holes in the cosmic continuum searching out another eye to gouge or another heart to pierce. This is metallic bliss pushed to eleven.

Where "Republican Trees" hits it stride is when the lines between beautiful and abrasive get smudged. Scott's guitar playing becomes a torrent of aural hell blowing fuses from here to his native Auckland. Fassonaki takes this in stride and the two push each other back and forth finding a natural rhythm that simultaneously enchants and disturbs. By the time Helga starts wailing on the final track of the album you've been rocked from your foundation, left to flounder alone in the muck. You can't really ask for more than that, can you?

pics & audio: http://www.foxydigitalis.com/digiv007.html

digi009: caboladies "atomic weekender" $18 US / $21 CAN / $29 INTL
It's been a good couple of years for these three burners from Kentucky. After killer releases on the likes of Arbor, Students of Decay, & others they're ready to drop their first pile of wax on an unsuspected public. "Atomic Weekender" is just that - massive, epic, and full of more good times than any one person should have on a two-day bender. But that's alright because these spiralling drones are here to bring you back down from that golden cloud and into a blanket of silvery cotton fields.

It starts off well and good, pushing through the stratosphere and on a straight path to the sun. You're not floating, you're fucking flying at mach five. Hypnotic synth blasts propel you and tear you apart. Caboladies rattle your skull and paint your skin blue. By the time you've reached the ground again, you're lost in a neon haze that stretches out for miles. As the metal leaves crunch in time beneath your feet, the music in your head sounds like it's been submerged beneath 20,000 leagues of sea. All the drugs in the world won't make you feel this fucking good. Caboladies. Megatons.

pics & audio: http://www.foxydigitalis.com/digiv009.html

canadians & international folks - if you want to order both (or multiple copies of one, or whatever!), email me b/c you can save on shipping.

coming up sooooon... social junk CD+tape and black to comm CD. they're here and just need assembling. more tapes, more vinyl, more good fucken times, and i turn 30 in five friggin days. hot damn.

much love,
brad

repost: At Home With Rose [12] NZ electronic mayhem

2009-04-20T18:15:00.000-07:00

Tonight's At Home With Rose show on Radio23 (blogged about here previously) looks like it is gonna be pretty ace.

Playlist here.....

Tuesday 21st April, 7pm - 9pm, New Zealand Standard Time (that's GMT +12 hours)

---

Last week was folksy overtones - this week it's electronic. Sure, there may be an occasional barely recognisable guitar chord, but this show is essentially digital maelstrom. I tucked in a little sweet girlie thing at the end that does have some guitar and drums. I just felt it needed it at the end. More for myself than my listeners, cos I'm a selfish bitch at heart.

I want to acknowledge the phenomenon of Creative Commons and free audio here. Not that there is anything wrong with paying for music. Oh no! But there is a new online culture where artists make their music available for download. So here's a plug for the four artists whose free music I am playing in this session:

Kraus: one of his albums was described in The Listener as "somewhere between a pop Moog record and the harshest no wave." Kraus has the best website I have seen for a long time. Highlight: his interviews with himself. Oh, and his music. I think he's pretty fucking fantastic.
Dsic: Ex-pat New Zealander living in Bristol, UK.
Crude: Matt Middleton has been making music in Dunedin since 1994.
Disasteradio: Luke is Rowell is a Wellington artist who is influenced by Commodore 64 games. You can tell this just by looking at his website.

Here's the playlist for the show: continue to original post.....
