A driving, 70s jazz-rock-disco inspired work-out from the Marxist Love Disco Ensemble. ‘Material’ is the second single to be taken from their forthcoming album, ‘MLDE’. Building from the bass-guitar intro, it introduces a Moog, a haunting Arp Solina string machine, live percussion, and layered glazed vocal arrangements, invoking elements of Gino Soccio as it escalates. The song explores aspects of dialectical materialism and revolution, all shrouded in the format of a bonafide club dancer.

‘Vibe Sharp’ is the first single to be taken from the forthcoming album, ‘The Globeflower Masters Vol.2’. Glenn and Mark have crafted a rich tapestry of cinematic funk and European Library music. Inspired by such luminaries as Roger Webb, Stefano Torossi, David Axelrod & Serge Gainsbourg. 

‘Vibe Sharp’ is the perfect introduction to what people can expect from the album. Glenn has often said “The image in my head when I listen to our music is of driving a car through the Italian countryside, long roads, lined with cypress trees, creeping further and further towards the sunset”. 

This track, from a musical perspective, is the sound that best suits this image. Rolling drums, an antique Harpsichord and shimmering vibes, plucked 12 string guitar and looping bass all come together to create a sound which drives, but at a suitably relaxed speed to be able to watch the stunning landscape as it passes by.

nem liga, guria
se eu já não sei disfarçar
se eu já cansei de esconder
o que era fácil de achar

nem liga, guria
se nos meus olhos não há (mais)
o brilho de quem vivia
com o coração em paz

se a gente já soubesse como vai ser a viagem
antes mesmo de comprar nossa passagem
a gente já virava pro outro lado e dormia (tão só)

se a gente entendesse que há um ciclo no amor
começa com pela cura, mas termina com a dor
a nossa cama pra sempre estaria vazia

nem liga, guria
se a minha voz acabar
sei que tu já me sacou sem eu precisar falar

nem liga, guria
não vou poder te atender
tô encontrando em minha vida um canto só pra você

se a gente já soubesse como vai ser a viagem
não perderia tanto tempo com bobagem
e o meu peito poderia muito bem ser a tua moradia

e finjo que acredito no que dizem sobre o amor
eu finjo que é eterno, mas te peço, por favor
esquece tudo e vem passar comigo essa madrugada tão fria

vê se não fica assustada quando eu digo
eu nunca fui daqueles que fazem sentido
tô em são paulo, aqui o céu nunca é azul
eu tô aqui cantando um samba com sotaque do sul

amanheceu, e eu deveria estar dormindo
mas estes versos são palavras explodindo
e, no teu colo, um dia, elas vão cair
e aonde isso vai dar, não cabe a nós decidir.

Neat Mess - Come Get Me

Joao Gilberto's debut LP, 1959's Chega de Saudade, was one of the most important Bossa Nova recordings, and credited by many as the album that launched bossa nova as a major popular music genre.

The 15 songs songs add up to a surprisingly short playing time but introduce several of bossa nova's most beloved trademarks: breezy, soothing melodies and vocals; tight arrangements with seamless blends of clipped guitar strokes and light orchestration, and, of course, the Bossa Nova rhythm. The most popular of these songs - "Chega de Saudade" and "Desafinado" - had already been released as singles in 1958.

Since embarking on an enchantingly forlorn run of musical activity, Ilyas Ahmed has remained incredibly active both as a visual artist and an incredibly versatile musician. Ahmed has cultivated vibrantly esoteric collaborations with Liz Harris (Grouper) and Matt Carlson & Jonathan Sielaff (both of Golden Retriever), among others, is an active member of heady, genre-defying experimental instrumental band Grails, and steadfastly issued quiet epics of psych-minimalism. Now, the Pakistan-born, Portland, Or.-based musician returns with 'Behold Killers,' perhaps his most alluring and distantly seething work to date. 

"Pass No Jazz" unfurls its tattered but tranquil tapestry over the entire A-side, tracing each step with unhurried care and curious composure. "Metal Freedom" leads the B-side in a synth-laden cloud of shimmering tragedy and seething hope. "Mad Love" dials things down for a modest symphony of gritted minimalism and soot-covered, negative space. Closing piece "Wild Violet" shimmers in a desolate dance of eerie weightlessness and wretched resolve.

Best consumed in the dead of night or frosted isolation, ‘Behold Killers’ is an aural yarn explicitly woven for the trodden.

Mark Gergis -  Early- Century Sound Recordings (Morocco tape excerpt)

Brooklyn artist Yoh (@i-am-yoh) presents "Woods," the second single following "Signs" from his forthcoming solo EP "Holographic" through fellow Brooklyn label Youngbloods. Calling upon instrumental contributions from fellow "Poetic Thrust" bandmate and guitarist Stu Pender, Yoh’s latest singular work demonstrates his rapid fire lyrical prowess in full effect. “Woods” intersects after-hour jazz-and-prose sensibilities with cosmic reception - an ode to experience across our past, present, and future.

“Woods” is the love that can only be expressed as a master watching his students bloom. It is the hope that their teachings can take root, and help its students blossom into great teachers and the most honest form of themselves through self discovery, sacrifice and openness to learning. It is the result of cosmic download and the relinquishing ego. An open heart and ear to the teachings we’ve learned and must still learn."

“Woods” is now available on digital platforms worldwide with “Holographic”  available starting August 14th.

Yoh - Woods

We are excited to welcome young composer Noémi Büchi to the Light of Other Days roster. 

Her debut Ep «Matière» is the result of an extensive study with a modular synthesizer as her instrument of choice. Apart from being a student of contemporary composition and listening to tons of music, Noémi finds most of her inspiration in long nature walks through nearby forests and foggy hills situated close to her bedroom studio. 

In her music she leads the listener safely through deep paths of complex rhythms and otherworldly sounds. Her awareness of timbre nuance and harmonic diversity are constantly matched with her ability to produce fresh and revealing arrangements. 

«Matière» is an exciting excerpt from the works and life of a very 
talented young artist with a bright future ahead.
