My Brightest Diamond, "Pressure"
from the LP "This Is My Hand" 
Available on CD /Vinyl / Digital 
September 16, 2014
from Asthmatic Kitty Records.

Lyrics:
mountain on top a fire below 
the pressure grows pressure
I feel the weight of a billion years 
come down on me come down
I tried to do it all right I went down down down
workin' hard little delight I forgot the sound of
diamonds

so bright I cannot hide 'em
so heavy I cannot mine 'em
all of this pressure's makin' diamonds
so wild I cannot tame 'em
so shiny I cannot name 'em
all of this pressure's makin' diamonds
disperse the white light

dancing on top the glitter glow
the pressure slows pressure
I feel the blade the cutting edge move out out out
I tried to do it all right I went down down down
workin' hard little delight I forgot the sound of
diamonds

pink purple green red yellow blue
I am in that mood indigo
pink purple green red yellow blue
I am in that mood for diamonds

Bought a Vanity Fair at the Value Village
Green tags half off, bought some old Nike shoes
Sean Penn he was smiling from the cover
The kind of smile that says there's nothing to lose just now

November, 1994.
My girl was ten
Someone might have been at war but I don't know

Rang up at seven dollars fifty for the day
A few months wear for an hours pay
Rain on the windshield shone like diamonds in the sun
May 28th, and the Blazers won in OT

And Carlisle agreed that the boys had played fair
Clean in the paint, that the calls had been square
Jason Kidd and Oden were the last ones there when the cameras had gone

Sometimes it's six to go down, three to wake up
But the days are short and the night ain't so bad
Out in the valley I can hear the last of the trains
As from the porch I hear her calling out my name from inside

Out for the West the pioneers they ran
Through Utah and the Thunder for the gold in the land
O Harvey Milk what a wonderful man
O Harvey Milk what a wonderful man

Castanets, "Out For The West"

Lyrics:
Take the rest, (believe I've) had my fill
Take it down to where the boys are laying still

Can't figure where to go
Can't say just how much it shows

But I can say that surely if I stay
That you would only bear the worst
The awful brunt of what the others might say
And wouldn't that bear quite a thirst

Can't figure what's to become
When it's hard enough to say just what we done

So if I don't see you before you see them
Do give my best to those giving friends
And tell them 'Memphis'
Though I am down the road a little ways


Castanets, "Tell Them Memphis"

‘Stormurinn’ is taken from Ásgeir’s ‘In The Silence – Deluxe Edition’ released via One Little Indian on the 24th November.
 
Recorded back in 2012 for the original Icelandic album, ‘Dyrd í dauðathogn’, ‘Stormurinn’ was removed from the track list at the last moment in favour of ‘Að grafa sig í fönn’ (‘Head In The Snow’).
 
The 3 CD ‘Deluxe Edition’ comprises the original 2012 Icelandic version, ‘Dyrd í dauðathogn’ – the album that made him Ásgeir a folk hero back home – plus the English-language version, ‘In The Silence’ and a 3rd CD of rarities and previously unheard material including remixes from Liam Howe (FKA Twigs, Lana Del Ray, Foxes) & Dot Major (London Grammar).

ÓLAFUR ARNALDS - Two Songs For Dance

PRE-ORDER LTD. EDITION 7"/DL HERE: http://erasedtapes.com/store/index/ERATP043

Following on from Ólafur Arnalds’ critically acclaimed dance score 'Dyad 1909' (2009) for the internationally renowned choreographer Wayne McGregor, now comes 'Two Songs For Dance' – a limited edition 7" vinyl that captures two exciting tracks from two contemporary dance projects.

The first 'Endalaus II' was created for 'Endalaus' by Norwegian choreographer Alan Lucien Øyen, commissioned and performed by the Iceland Dance Company. Fans will recognise the track as one of the highlights from Ólafur's recent live shows, creating an emotional punch against the classical strings. It's available for full stream as part of the Erased Tapes 5th Anniversary Tour playlist.

'For Teda', the second song is for London-based company Neon Dance and part of choreographer Adrienne Hart's on-going project 'Archived'it'. It brings forward a new concept in online interaction by allowing anyone to create their own version of ‘Dance on Steps’, a dance film featuring dance and mime student Teda de Moor from 1934.

'Two Songs For Dance' will be released as a 1000 copies ltd. edition 7" vinyl and high quality download on August 13th via Erased Tapes, and can be pre-ordered from the official store here: http://erasedtapes.com/store/index/ERATP043

MADE FOR YOU

A project for Jafar Panahi and freedom

In 1995 Jafar Panahi received a Golden Camera in Cannes for his film “The White Balloon“. In the year 2000 he won a Golden Lion in Venice for “The Circle“ and was awarded a Silver Bear in 2006 for “Offside“. In Dubai his documentary “This is not a Film“ (2011) was voted best documentary film in the Asian and African market. In 2012 he was furthermore awarded with the Sakharov Prize by the European Parliament for freedom of thought followed by another Silver Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival in 2013 for his film “Parde“.

Panahi was arrested twice throughout the protest movements following the presidential election in 2009. He was sentenced to six years of incarceration and a twenty-year occupational ban. He is no longer allowed to leave the country nor conduct interviews with the local and foreign press. Numerous filmmakers have spoken up for his release from prison, such as Michael Moore, Steven Spielberg, Robert Redford, Abbas Kiarostami and Juliette Binoche.

The Iranian musician and composer Mohammad Reza Mortazavi, thrilling the press and audiences all over the world with his unique style, has also received numerous national and international awards for his musical works.

Mortazavi was deeply shocked by the news about Panahi's arrest. In the light of these grotesque verdicts he sought to overcome his initial helplessness by the force of his creativity. He was able to fathom the rhythm of Panahi's heart from prison, sensing the emotions of an artist who cannot express himself freely.

In order to express the calling of Panahi's heart for artistic freedom through his instrument, he surmounted numerous obstacles to record the imprisoned filmmaker's actual heartbeat in Iran. Lead by Panahi's heartbeat he traces Panahi's anguish, his sorrow and his determination to break through constraints and limitiations. Mortazavi acconpanies Panahi's heartbeat, he contributes to the actual beating of the heart by playing on top of it and dwelling in the musical colours of the moment.

And he knows: “Revolution comes from within“.

He is performing twenty minutes for twenty years of occupational ban replaying the original sound of Panahi's heartbeat followed by a tweny-minute performance on his instrument the tombak, dedicated to the filmmaker's freedom and the release of his creative forces.

Mortazavi insists Panahi to be the center of the project while he remains in the background. He does not however entirely manage to hide behind Panahi's heartbeat. Nestling up against the rhythms of the heart, he is setting Panahi's spirit and soul into motion. Playing at alternating speed, ranging from soft and slow to frenetically rapid sequences of sound, he stirs up his audience's core to awaken their spirits.

Clogs are a mostly instrumental project led by Bryce Dessner and Australia's Padma Newsome, both men familiar from their membership in the acclaimed rock band, The National. But don't call Clogs a side project. Their existence predates The National, and Clogs have released five widely acclaimed albums -- a highly melodic debut THOM'S NIGHT OUT (2001), then the experimental polyphonies of LULLABY FOR SUE (2003), the minimalist explorations of STICK MUSIC (2004), the post-classical beauty of LANTERN (2006) and finally THE CREATURES IN THE GARDEN OF LADY WALTON (2010), a progressive song-cycle featuring performances by Sufjan Stevens, Matt Berninger of The National & Shara Worden of My Brightest Diamond.

Films - I'm Sleeping Under The Dead Tree (JacM Remix)

Asthmatic Kitty Records is an independent record label that was co-founded by Lowell Brams and his stepson, singer-songwriter Sufjan Stevens, in 1999. Since its founding, AKR has released albums by a variety of artists, including Lily & Madeleine, My Brightest Diamond and Helado Negro, and is currently home to Sufjan Stevens, Angelo De Augustine, Denison Witmer and The Welcome Wagon. 

Asthmatic Kitty was named after Sara, an orange and white tabby who wandered out of the woods pregnant and starving near Holland, Michigan in 1994. For fourteen years she brought joy as a beloved friend to Lowell, enjoying a happy life despite her initial hardships. Her asthma improved after moving west to New Mexico and Wyoming, where she lived out her days as an asthmatic kitty in name only.
