Calm and still, you feel some eighty-thousand hours roll away. 
More or less what you wanted: everything disintegrating. 
Think about the future, don’t it seem to turn a darker shade? 
More or less, you’re doubled over, in and out of love again. 
So don’t go. 
Don’t go. 
Don’t go gently, incitation, do your damage. 
Undo me over again. 
Coaches calling you a winner, honestly you want to believe them. 
Defense in an offense inning, everything turns in on itself. 
☁︎ ✂︎ ☁︎ ✂︎ ☁︎ ✂︎ ☁︎ ✂︎ ☁︎ ✂︎ ☁︎ ✂︎ ☁︎ ✂︎ ☁︎ ✂︎ ☁︎ 
Don’t go gently, incitation, do your damage. 
Undo me over again. 
Don’t go gently, incitation, someone is awake. 
Someone else is working while you hesitate. 
Baby dance in the dark with me. 
Never in very far with me. 
What a nice dream, to come and go. 
Dance in the dark with me. 
Never in very far with me. 
What a nice dream, don’t go. 
Don’t go gently, incitation, do your damage. 
Undo me over again. 
Don’t go gently, incitation, someone is awake. 
Someone else is working while you hesitate.

As modern life spirals further into chaos and confusion, David Vassalotti’s newest album Broken Rope, a follow-up to his revered out-of-print 2011 LP Book of Ghosts, presents itself as a soundtrack for the tumult
.
Vassalotti, a Florida-based songwriter and performer for critically acclaimed 4AD signees Merchandise (amongst numerous other projects), has used this record as an opportunity to delve further into his own diverse world of personal interests. Broken Rope is a passion project, with Vassalotti handling all of the writing, performing, recording, production, and art design.

From lo-fi guitar pop sounds (a la Flying Nun staples like The Clean and The Verlaines), to elements harsh industrial noise and musique concrete, Vassalotti weaves together a wide array of musical influences with a steady hand. Similarly, the album’s lyrics draw from literary references as far- reaching as Portuguese history, Russian folklore, and Spanish poetry.

Ambitious as it may be to cover so much ground, there is a rational flow and unity that ties the record together. In the chaotic globalism of the 21st century Broken Rope may not be the compass that helps us find our orientation, but it can still serve as a mirror to help shape our concept of where we fit into the fray. This is an adventurous album for uncertain times.

PITCHFORK: D. Vassalotti "Swallow My Pride"
“Tampa's Merchandise have a decade of artful hardcore and experimental pop under their belts-- but the devastating solo output of guitarist Dave Vassalotti is their best kept secret”

David Vassalotti - Ines De Castro

The craft spells remix 12” shows two extremes. The Whatever/Whatever remix is lush, dense and full of texture. Simonetti's approach is a more unorthodox, minimal, loop heavy affair, adding hints of melody in unexpected places - tying it all together in the end...

Whatever/Whatever is the duo of Justin Strauss & Bryan Mette who've remixed the likes of LCD Soundsystem, Woolfy and Yacht at the height of the indie dance scene around the start of this decade and are now breathing new life into the project with recent remixes for Inflagranti, Pollyester, Stephan Eicher and Cantoma.

Mike Simonetti is head honcho of 2MR, has been DJing for 20 years and has recently acquired production notoriety for his breathtaking emo-techno duo Pale Blue and his sold out solo 12" Bossa Nova Civic Club Bootleg.

Maria Usbeck's solo debut, Amparo, is a collection of songs written and recorded across the span of three years in Ecuador, Buenos Aires, Santiago, Barcelona, Lisbon, Easter Island, Costa Rica, Florida, L.A. and her home in Brooklyn. Though the songs were composed electronically, Amparo called for an acoustic treatment, so Usbeck spent a winter in the studio recording the arrangements live with producer Caroline Polachek and mixer & engineer Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson. Fleshed out in full sonic color on the marimba, xylophone, quena flute, piano, and harp, the album stretched into something hi-fi and expressive, meditative but not meandering.

Amparo stems from Usbeck's desire to compose in Spanish, her native language. Growing up in Quito, Usbeck was immersed in salsa, merengue, bachata, and Andean music, but was more attracted to German and American culture than to her own, and moved to America by herself at 17. After five years of fronting new wave outfit Selebrities and writing songs in English, Usbeck experienced a delayed-onset homesickness and knew it was time to "let the mother tongue speak." The impulse manifested itself directly: Amparo takes its title from Usbeck's middle name and her mother's name, and translates roughly as "to guide, protect, and embrace." Usbeck wields her Spanish lyrics cleverly while folding in snippets of several other far-flung tongues: Rapa Nui from Easter Island, Quichua from Ecuador, Bribri from Costa Rica, and Catalan. Because these lyrics were composed while visiting the countries from which they originate, their usage is more impressionistic than literal, like a mockingbird imitating fragments of other bird calls. Similarly, Usbeck reinterprets the Ecuadorian music that she grew up with as a newcomer, returning home with fresh ears, and as such the sounds are very much her own.

The backbone of Amparo is percussion, vibrating throughout with timbales, tumbas, a talking drum, bongos, shakers, and an Indian flat drum, with the gaps filled in by her field recordings of birds, beaches, and jungles. The songs were written and recorded chronologically, with the exception of the closing track, a cover of Colourbox’s “Tarantula” reimagined in Usbeck’s Spanish translation. Amparo is a reflection of the textures of Usbeck's childhood. It is also a distinctly grown-up pop record – a travel diary, music made by a visiting outsider to tap into a shared core of human expression. Emotively, Usbeck is her most powerful on piano ballads "Uno De Tus Ojos" and "Jungla Inquieta," but is a magnetic narrator throughout, moving between whispers, chants, and lullabies. Amparo pulses with many stories in many voices, but they flow together seamlessly like water, leaving behind a wordless hum.

Amparo is released May 27 via Cascine in North America, Labrador in Euope and Rallye in Japan.
