Week 1 (little bit fast)  [𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐝 𝐄𝐱𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞]

Many moons ago our first cassette release of an artist’s original compositions was from 'The Only Thingz' - E Ruscha V’s biomorphic modular synth alter ego".

Now, The Only Thingz are back, yet this time both egos aligned in symbiotic unity. 

Recorded during the lockdown, the music was created at a time of stepping away from fast moving life and focusing more on the slower pace of simple home existence. Gardening, making fresh bread and making music was the order of the day and each day blurred into the next. 

The music itself is a more realized vision of the first Only Thingz offering which was perhaps the tadpole stage of the frog’s life, and now this frog is grown and sits and marvels at his surroundings while being at peace there, yet there can be ominous overtones at moments. Something lurking behind that old tree downstream perhaps?

While synthesizers feature heavily, the clarinet seems to be a floating guide through the proceedings giving the feeling of an environmental merge. Oceans waves, streams, plants, sun clearing the fog, walks in the hills and daydreams all converge in E Ruscha V and The Only Thingz Too. 

The Vinyl LP is now available via our online store!

New family members Loris S. Sarid & Innis Chonnel summon a long-overdue return to the 12th Isle with an album built around percussive sounds taken from various mic-ed up objects found in a wood workshop on the East Coast of Scotland. With the pair occasionally leaving said workshop to enjoy some respite in Innis Chonnel’s horse box / studio, the artists hatched a plan to process and program their field recordings, later combining them with improvised synthesiser rhythms and overdubs. The tracks began to materialise over the course of a few follow-up sessions by which time saws sang and flutes flowed through watering cans. Shortly afterwards they found their way to us via carrier pigeon on a CD-ROM that smelt vaguely of soiled hay and we knew we had to act.

With the help of an old reel to reel and the tape bounce & mastering work of Murray Collier, we present them here in their final format.

Absolutely stunning slow Indie with great lyrics. Would've fitted perfectly to some cool Twin Peaks inspired series.

Sam Mallet could have pursued a career as a French literature professor in Paris, but decided his true calling was to remain in Australia, dedicate himself to his music and find the plateau; a word he used to describe the sensory worlds residing in music. Under the influence of Eno, Jon Hassell, Arvo Pärt, John Coltrane and Robert Fripp, Sam explored a wide variety of musical styles and put them to service soundtracking the time-based works of his peers. He crafted spatial ambience, somber jazz, and drum computer driven rockers for short films and experimental video works, television shows (including the original Australian Wilfred series), feature films and live theatre. The avant garde Anthill Theatre, known for its departure from conventional staging practices and having a keen eye for talent, enlisted Mallet to provide soundtracks for approximately 40 productions throughout the 1980s and early 1990s.

Sadly, Sam passed away in 2014. A crucial piece of his legacy is undoubtedly the body of work he produced during his life, and the archive of recorded works is vast and deep. Sam seemingly saved everything, from fragments to finished pieces; and often repurposed previously released tracks by collaging them into new pieces. He self-released a small number of cassettes and CDs from the mid 1980s onward, the contents of which were culled from soundtrack work and original pieces, but the majority of his music was experienced only within the ephemeral live performances.

Wetlands is the product of countless hours spent with this archive by Rowan Mason (Sanpo Disco/Recurring Dream) and Tony Remple (Musique Plastique), offering a dynamic survey of Sam’s work, and housed in a jacket evoking the minimal design and colour palette of his earliest cassette releases. Two selections of Sam Mallet’s music were featured on the compilation Midday Moon (also produced by Rowan), released last year by Bedroom Suck Records. Along with Left Ear Records’ Antipodean Anomalies, Midday Moon has served to highlight outlier musics and scenes from Australia and New Zealand, and Wetlands plunges deeper into the catalog of this obscure yet groundbreaking artist.
