PURR 0016: Food Pyramid – ‘Live/Dead’
Live at the Bakken Museum of Electricity, Food Pyramid incants the freedom of Ash Ra Temple from the vertiginous crest of a great wave.  Their complimentary efforts echo and coalesce through the valleys below, waking forest life to a somnambulant rustle.

PURR 0017: Samantha Glass – ‘Rising Movements’
The abandoned lodge emerges from the dark, wet woods. It is warm and light inside – carpeted halls and wood banisters welcome your step, draw you deeper past branching rooms. What mysteries, forgotten treasure, and danger await within these decrepit walls?

PURR 0018: Mitchell Turner – ‘Cascades’
Spyglass renders telescopic visions generously spread – a fire on mountainous lands – a blurred image of star and planet.  Side to side guitar shines on pieces of crystal.

PURR 0019: EN/Jefre Cantu-Ledesma split
In preparation for their Japan tour with Grouper in April 2012, En (Maxwell August Croy & James Devane) defined the genesis for ‘Blood’. Upon returning home, ideas developed from their performances were fleshed out and a new organism birthed. Jefre Cantu-Ledesma was sent parts of the completed En track, which he used to create ‘Blood Variations’.

CF Records

Pacific Strings – ‘Woodgate Valley’ CS
CF is very pleased to announce the debut release from Berlin’s Pacific Strings, Woodgate Valley. Daniel John Boyle (UK), Florian Zeisig (GER) and Maggie Buck Armstrong (US) formed the band in early 2012, recording the eight song mini-album in a summer house on the Polish border after only a few months together. The three share vocals and instruments to create a sinuous, multi-layered yet accessible sound, a combination in their own words of ”pop obsession and new world atmospherics”. Woodgate Valley is available in a super limited cassette edition including download of all 8 tracks.  We have a handful left of the wonderful Thread Pulls You Melt Words\ 5/8 Rhythm Here, the Dublin experimentalist’s first new material since 2010’s New ThoughtsLP, available in a super limited edition of only 100 label-less 12″s. All records include two glossy photographs and download codes.

Champagne Diamond/The Brilliant Light LP
Back in 2007 we released a gem of an album by then Dublin based audio visual artists Nina Canell and Robin Watkins, Champagne Diamond/The Brilliant Light. The original edition came packaged in a unique embossed sleeve, these are long gone but we have just found a rare batch of long lost “rough diamonds” in plain black discobags which we are selling for a reduced price for a very limited time while stocks last. Integrating elements of traditional song, field recording and backwoods chant (Champagne Diamond, Fly the Radio Sky, Separate Members), alongside found-folk (Scatter & Yearn) and Music Concrete (Rot, Get Soft, Build & Leave) the six songs that constitute CHAMPAGNE DIAMOND can be considered as a self-contained piece, as with the three more expansive and improvisory spoken word/instrumental segments of THE BRILLIANT LIGHT, or taken together with the latter as two halves of one self-reflexive whole. Includes 320 kpbs MP3 download of full album for the first time.

Sea Pinks – ‘Freak Waves’ LP
Two years on from the garage fuzz of debut Youth Is Wasted (Japanese Knotweed), and following on from last year’s jangle pop mini-odyssey Dead Seas (Fountain Tesserae, Peripheral Vision), Freak Waves, the third album from Sea Pinks, is the fullest realisation of their sound so far. From pristine guitar pop (A Pattern Recognition, Shrinking Violet) to full-blooded brooding (False Spring, Subliminal Messaging) to the epic closer of the title track and all points in between, this is the band at their most dynamic. And while the songs seem to dwell on disillusion, broken communication, and ambivalence in general; the bright, buoyant melodies therein perform the perfect counterweight. This is classic sounding, bittersweet pop at it’s effortless best.  Available in a limited edition of 250 12″ LPs, including 320 kbps MP3 download of all ten tracks.

Important

MAJOR STARS – ‘Decibels Of Gratitude’ CD
What to say about a band who continuously claims Otis Rush and Buddy Guy as it’s primary influences, but usually finds their records filed in the “noise/experimental” bin? Any mention of Major Stars tends to send some scurrying for the most obscure psychedelic references, but one need look no further than the Who or Cream to find the primary ingredients of melodic songwriting combined with an over-the-top instrumental assault.

FOLKE RABE – ‘What??’ CD
What?? is a focused and grounding work produced by Swedish composer Folke Rabe in 1967. From his interest in sound phenomena and harmonics Rabe was able to make one of the most deep, moving pieces of sustained sound generated in this formative era of minimalist electronic composition. Initially reissued on Dexter’s Cigar in 1997 and now available on Important with expanded packaging including archival materials furnished by the composer. Amplified infinity.

Robert & Leopold

Anla Courtis & Richard Francis – ‘Aucklantida’ C40 $8(USA)/$10(World)
Edition of 50.  Since the mid-90′s, Argentinian composer Anla Courtis has found an uncomfortable nest within his strange and abstract music.  Meanwhile on the opposite side of the planet, Richard Francis has been establishing himself within his outpost in New Zealand as a sage of ambient drone waveforms.  When both of these minds melded across the Pacific, the following documentation was born.  Studied and paced drone textured without any caution using cut-ups, modular electronics and bent instrumentation.

Stone Baby – ‘Debris’ C20 $8(USA)/$10(World)
Edition of 50. Distorted ambient death rattles by upstate NY artists Cory E. Card and Jen Marquart wraps up another perfect release in Debris.  Blistering drones that contradict itself, layered shards of voice and tape wrapped up in a tangled fray.  Known to many from their adventures on Carbon, House of Alchemy and Peasant Majik, this newest release portrays the band as more jagged and referential that previously displayed…both sides forming a perfect union of medium and host.

Kösmonaut – ‘Geist’ C46 $8(USA)/$10(World)
Edition of 50. Vintage sequence of celestial proportions in the new cassette by Patrick Park under Kösmonaut.  Drawing influences from the likes of Cluster, Heldon / Pinhas and Ashra Temple, this project delivers electronic krautrock style unmatched in our cosmos, hatching a galactic egg of supersonic progressive energy.

Erstwhile

ErstLive 009: Antoine Beuger – ‘s’approcher s’éloigner s’absenter’
This world premiere piece, written by German composer (and Wandelweiser founder) Beuger specifically for this festival and these musicians (Ben Owen, Barry Chabala and Dominic Lash) and dedicated to Abbey, opened the first night of the festival, setting a fantastic tone and high standard for the weeks of music to follow.

ErstLive 010: Christian Wolff/Keith Rowe
This set was the first ever full-length duo set from these two longtime masters, bringing Rowe together with one of his early influences, New York School stalwart and John Cage collaborator Christian Wolff. This show coincidentally occurred on September 4, ending after 11 PM, so almost precisely one year before Cage’s 100th birthday.

ErstLive 011: Keith Rowe – ‘September’
This was the much anticipated final set of Keith Rowe’s week in NYC, following five duo sets with various collaborators. It took place on the 10th anniversary of 9/11, and the Manhattan atmosphere was uniquely charged. As he almost always does, Rowe rose to the challenge of the occasion, creating a moving, dense, virtuosic set in the lineage of his 2004 set with Burkhard Beins in Berlin (ErstLive 001) and his 2008 solo set in Tokyo (ErstLive 007). The recording quality is remarkable, both recorded and mastered by Taku Unami for maximum impact, this is truly a special recording.

ErstLive 012: Radu Malfatti/Taku Unami
This was the 10 PM set on 9/11/11, and makes for a perfect pair with the Rowe solo, two very different extremes. Where the Rowe is in your face visceral, the Unami/Malfatti created a gentle atmosphere within the pitch-black room (lit solely by Unami’s visuals), an overarching cumulative feeling in the listener. The too-perfect-to-be-scripted intro and outro frame a set that’s almost not there, a radical recording even by ultraminimal standards.

MY CAT IS AN ALIEN – ‘Art Is A Tear Of Noise And Infinite Silence’ 2LP
Deluxe, full-color heavyweight gatefold jacket; 12″x24″ cover art painting by Roberto Opalio. “Clandestine auteurs the Opalio Brothers, Roberto and Maurizio Opalio (aka My Cat Is An Alien) have deftly sprinkled our solar system with their beautifully fragile, arcane soundscapes, as well as multimedia collaborations with vanguards such as Sonic Youth, Christian Marclay, Keiji Haino, Thurston Moore, Lee Ranaldo, Jim O’Rourke, Mats Gustafsson and many more. They now present a new phase of their already-celebrated body of work by abandoning their signature guitars and “space toys” and swapping them for a new set of homemade string instruments and reassembled electronic devices. Roberto says: “Me and my brother decided to create a new beginning in sound: I started working with a totally new set of modified, de-constructed, electronic devices, while my brother self-made a peculiar double-bodied string instrument.” This double LP, made only with this new set of instruments, comprises seven instantaneous compositions, with neither overdubs nor outtakes.” *NOTE: An intentional locked groove was placed after A1 to bring the listener’s mind to reflect on the sense of the “Preludio,” the stylus will be locked after A1 until the listener moves it manually to A2 (the proper beginning of the work).

Then, both musicians kept collaborating on their own work, sharing the same interest for visual compositions and invisible travels. Transports is a 40 minutes live set recorded at 64 in Paris on january 15th, 2012. The piece explores sonic as well as mental borders between minimalistic patterns, musique concrete and analog electronics. Co-founder in early 80′ of Radio Nova, Palix has also collaborated since early 80′ with numerous dance choreographers, film makers and musicians like Bruce Russell, Jean François Pauvros, David Coulter… His film works have been shown worldwide in film festivals ((Rotterdam International Film Festival, Tribeca Film Festival …) and galleries (Galerie In Situ/Fabienne Leclerc, Galerie Michel Journiac in Paris).
