Odd Nosdam - Level Live Wires
ABR0074
Release date: 08.28.07

https://store.anticon.com/library/thumb … &width=310

[quote:95064eb8ca="anticon.com"]An Odd Nosdam record is something more than music. More and more, David P. Madson's albums are collections of wordless short stories and scenes, intricately woven audio scrapbooks that buzz with singular experience as lived through the eyes and ears of one very electric human conduit. Whereas 2005's threateningly dense and gorgeous Burner was built amongst bad relationships, nasty headspaces and East Oakland situations, Level Live Wires is the distinct product of inspiration, bizarre happenstance and wonder lived out in a series of bright moments eventually brought together under the roof of an unruffled West Berkeley cottage. Here 8-track cassettes, samplers, synths and Dictaphones, lost records and found sounds, field recordings and happy accidents are brought to stirring life by our humble collagist.

Level Live Wires is announced by On, where a rolling dub bump bounces under a windy choral drone to pleasantly gangsta effect, which soon gives way to the surging slow dance of Kill Tone. A ticking arrives on a tiny loop, birds chirp overhead, something burns, then a crunchy harp melody beginsand begins again as if waiting to catch a groove. As a swell of bass pushes from below, the aural landscape shifts: sampler drums punch in and out, a guitar grinds slowly in the background (played by Dee Kesler of Thee More Shallows), voices echo elsewhere, and suddenly a rapid line of barroom piano (Whys Doug McDiarmid) lends the final context needed to turn the loping beat into swirling ballet of syncopated sound. With a sharp kick of the turntable, We Dead pulses in on a vocal loop and a train-whistle, before Freakout 3 crash-lands with a heavy burst of sludgy doom.

Tense glacial air warms to a warbling phonograph, a thunderstorm breaks, and a ball of aural white light overwhelms everything. Davids voice trickles in via Dictaphone during a Presidents Day gang shooting outside of his old Oakland Victorian, but its the speaker-shattering cry of Chris Adams (Hood, Bracken) that leads the heavy bass and building fuzz onward. Following a blast of electronic squelch, Fat Hooks lifts listeners skyward with an airy composition of turntable bump, rich organ and soaring voice (courtesy of Jessica Bailiff), while Blast sounds delectably dirty and glassy in dub. The Kill Tone Two returns to a busted-up break-beat and its predecessors lo-bit harp progression, but adds live violin (by TMS collaborator Cosmos Lee) and voice to create a rolling pastoral epic. TV on the Radios Tunde Adebimpe and Whys Yoni Wolf trade poems, tones and beat-box while Odd Nosdam plays conductor and composer.

Then comes Burner. Theres the sound of a window sliding open, a car horn steadily blurting, and flames raging as a freshly abandoned Ford Explorer is caught on tape exploding in front of Davids ex Oakland digs. The slowly warping horn becomes the tonal base of the song, and the sharp blasts inspire sporadic but controlled bursts of heavy drum. What follows is a patched beat of the most ominous variety: rap bounce, deep synth whirrs, blurred bass (Whys Josiah Wolf), harmonizing frequencies and endless texture. Like Freakout 3, the song was originally intended for Burner, but the gravity of its origins were stultifying. David worked on Burner obsessively for three years before turning to one of his musical idols, Chris Adams. Halfway through the song, the Hood architect can be heard, sawing at the base of the composition with violin and singing ghostly etherea overtop. When Burner breaks, were back at the burning car, alone and surrounded by pitch black.

That Nosdam is as fascinated with these odd moments as the rest of us are is what gives Level Live Wires its enveloping draw. Each bit that becomes a part of a song is an otherwise static and eventually staid sound that could have become mere memory. Instead, he takes each into his life (often burning sounds onto disc and listening to them throughout his day), and gives them some blood in return. The albums closing triptych bring things to an appropriate end, with Up in Flames returning to the clouds on the back of a bubbly reggae bassline, while piano and pounding drums (played by Jel), get pulled into a mechanical tornado (David mashing and jamming the 8-track cassette while transferring the base loop onto computer). Slight Return slows down and stretches out the crux harp melody, but in reverse, creating a dark and crystalline kind of pretty, and Off gives us a glorious wash of tone and synth to drift out on. Also included with Level Live Wires first pressing is a limited bonus disc of isolated sonicsa fine ambient EP in its own rightthat allows listeners to hear the albums underpinnings from Odd Nosdams peerless perspective.

Which is, of course, the view weve enjoyed from Level Live Wires very beginning.[/quote:95064eb8ca]

Muutaman kuuntelun perusteella todella hyvä levy tiedossa.

Mikäli tykkäsit Burnerista, niin tää(kin) kannattaa ostaa, kunhan nyt ensin ilmestyy.

Laitetaanpa nyt sitten vielä vähän anticon.comista löytyvää juttua tulevasta levystä:

Sole And The Skyrider Band - S/T
ABR0078
Release date: 10.23.07

https://store.anticon.com/library/thumb … &width=310

[quote:5ae4a56500="anticon.com"]Though Soles last album, Live From Rome, came out only two and a half years ago (in early 2005), and Sole has been busy in the meantime, recently releasing a solo instrumental LP, under the moniker mansbestfriend, and twice touring the U.S. and Europe, he nonetheless refers to the self-titled Sole & Skyrider record as a comeback. Its a curious term; what is a comeback exactly? Simply a return with a vengeance?

In some ways, it is a record of returna return to rhyming, for one, particularly the complicated rhyme schemes that marked Soles early work, a return driven by his seemingly, but not actually, discordant love of both Lord Byron and Lil Wayne. Sole and The Skyrider Band also represents a return to the musical consistency and coherence that made the Alias-produced Selling Live Water a critical triumph (see its reviews in Rolling Stone, The Wire, and Playboy).

It is also, though, more than a mere return. Even before hed finished Live From Rome, Sole had become disenchanted with the process by which hed been making music: get a beat, spit a rap, mix it down. Experiments with half of Twelve, an acclaimed improv outfit from Barcelona, and a detour into solo instrumental work followed, until a fortuitous series of events led him into the arms of the Orlando three-piece, Skyrider. Skyrider soon relocated to Flagstaff, Arizona, where Soles been living since his return from living abroad, and all of a sudden, music-making became a warmer, richer thing. And you can hear it in the music: these songs feel lived-in, composed but not cold or calculated, and fierce yet not angsty.

Each song grew out of an organic process: theyd improvise; Bud Berning, Skyriders bassist and sampler conductor, would then comb the tapes for promising material; Sole would isolate moments in Bernings selection and start to incorporate vocals; drummer John Wagner and omni-instrumentalist William Ryan Fritch would stitch in new sections; finally, all four would pound out the shape of the song; Bernings keen editorial ear and perfectionist twitch dealt with the details; and anticons Alias accomplished the mixing.

This process produced a musicality new to Soles discography, and also furnished a number of stunning juxtapositions. Witness Sole and Fritchs interaction on 100 Light Years and Running, which bridges the gap between chamber music and N.W.A. while serenading the glittering beauty of Arizonas night sky, or the play of buzzing guitar, turntable accents, and liquid drums in On Paradise, where Sole riffs on a passage from Werner Herzogs Fata Morgana. Its a record where the lovely analog of Shipwreckers (where Sole jacks the hook from the Guy Debord film, Refutation of All Judgements) comfortably cohabits with the grinding, anthemic opening track, where Sole promises, when the last buzzard eats the last candy bar from the last body on the San Andreas, itll be a sad day for investors.[/quote:5ae4a56500]

No jopas! Harmi, ettei tähän hätään taia päästä paikalle.

Mitä anticonin uusiin julkaisuihin tulee, Sole ja TJJ pitänee tarkastaa. En oikein osaa tota linjaa mitä anticon on pääosin viimevuosina vetäny, sitä kaikkee huminaa, herkistelyä ja vakavuutta.

WHY? - The Hollows
ABR0079
Release date: 11.27.07

WHY? thaws from the icebox with The Hollows, the lead single taken from their forthcoming soon-to-be wigsmasher, Alopecia. This latest blast of darkly tinted pop finds the Bay-based trio further realizing their distinct soundsmart, shimmering, sweetly souredwhile expanding that ever-crooking subsurface smile we saw bare its teeth on 2005s critically acclaimed Elephant Eyelash LP. For this stormy and anthemic epic, WHY?s three main constituentsYoni Wolf (cLOUDDEAD, Hymies Basement, Reaching Quiet), brother Josiah Wolf, and goodly neighbor Doug McDiarmidare joined by a notable guest cast: Andrew Broder and Mark Erickson of Minneapolis Fog (who sit in for most of Alopecia), the inimitable Doseone (cLOUDDEAD, Subtle, Themselves), and sable-throated Nedelle (Kill Rock Stars, the Curtains, Cryptacize). Huzzah!

The U.S. and European editions of The Hollows each boast three exclusive B-sides. On the American 12-inch, side A is complimented by a true club contender: Dntels remix of the unreleased Alopecia track By Torpedo Or Crohns finds Yoni barking out his rappinest cadence in years atop a pulsing warped synth beat that bumps in the vein of Jimmy Tamborellos dance-crazed James Figurine material. Side B flips it indeed, and features WHY?s friends covering WHY?s music. Xiu Xiu offers a singularly fey and lo-fi electro take on Eyelashs Yoyo Bye Bye, and Asthmatic Kitty recording artist Half-Handed Cloud closes out the set with Pre-teen Apocalyptic Film Acting, a tempo-jumping medley of select WHY? work.

The Hollows E.U., brought to you by Tomlab, features a warm, fog-horned and funked-up remix by Boards of Canada of another unreleased Alopecia track, Good Friday.And continuing the theme, side B begins with a delicious slowcore cover of Yoyo Bye Bye" by Dump (James McNew of Yo La Tengo), and ends with Nick T. of Islands tying off nooses in their take on Reaching Quiets blacker-than-black snowdrift of a song, Broken Crow.

*US Release Only. Limited to 1000 units*
