[p*dis] distribution sampler for May 2014


p*dis sampler 2014.05

"The idea behind “The Being Of The Beautiful” was to catch the beauty of rivers combined with the idea of beauty itself. 
Rivers are in the center of the creative process and because I have always lived close to waters they have a big impact on me and my work. During my process, water became more and more a symbol for impermanence. Rivers, taken as a metaphor for human relationships, are marked by change, are constantly floating, and come never to a standstill. Their being is fragile in a way and relationships are the same. As damageable as rivers and relationships are, as fragile is the music found on the album. The album reflects upon the difficulties of relationships which mirrors a central theme in popular music. The changeableness of bonds between two people helped to create the sound of the album. The romantic motives fit into the surroundings of Greifswald the album was created in, the same city Caspar David Friedrich - one of the best known art romanticist - lived in. 
Influenced by the atmosphere of the place and continuing to thinking over rivers and their being I reconsidered the idea of romance as such and draw my conclusion in the form of this very album. This is my understanding of beauty, of the idea of the beauty. The impermanent affection of rivers and experience made helped to create this work and led to this present album."


"The Being of the Beautiful" will be released on ILYA Records in October 2013.

'Special Victim'
Bloodmoss Records

From swirling, tumultuous outbursts to pummeling destruction, the controlled chaos that is Future Death is ready to be unleashed in 2014. Stripping everything to the bone, the band’s creative process is heavily linked to impulse as they capture their feelings organically and in the moment while leaving little room for conceptualization. The Austin-based band formed in 2012 as Alton Jenkins and Bill Kenny began writing and recording what later evolved into their debut EP, which was self-released in the summer of 2013. They added bassist Jeremy Humphries to the lineup and vocalist Angie Kang found them later after months of writing. 'Special Victim,' their forthcoming debut full-length on Bloodmoss Records, was recorded and mixed by This Will Destroy You’s Alex Bhore in a funeral-home-turned-studio owned by producer John Congleton. With the creative tools at hand, Future Death took a bright, explosive approach on 'Special Victim.' Like the band’s overall creative process, the concept of impulse is apparent throughout album itself. There’s not much time to breathe, and that’s exactly why it is such a thrilling and powerful listen.

Future Death - Basements

This is the intro track from my debut album 'A Good Land, An Excellent Land' released last year. The piece was written as a graphic score for harmonics on Cello, Violin & Double-bass, accompanied by bowed guitar & electric bass. It was ironically the last track recorded on the album & a really special moment when all the parts were first heard together, extending beyond my expectation for the opener. If you buy the CD you also get the seamless design by which this runs directly into track two & the last track runs back into this when on looped playback. It could well be my favourite moment of the albums conception. Cover photo is by Oscar May at Union Chapel.

Beginning

Lost & Compiled is a CD that Taylor Deupree has been wanting to make for years and, finally, as part of his 2014 Japan tour (with Illuha, Stephan Mathieu and Federico Durand) it has come to light. The album was debuted at the venues of the tour and in an attempt to keep the release on the quiet side will only receive a small amount of Japanese distribution and otherwise only be available in the 12k shop and not through 12k’s regular distribution channels.

Lost & Compiled is a collection of early mixes of songs from the past few years as well as some previously unreleased works. The concept for the release came from the idea that songs that Deupree writes go through so many permutations that by the time they are released they have left behind a trail of ghosts. Sometimes when he goes back to early and rough mixes of songs he will hear something more relaxed, free, and less perfect... a point in the song’s life where the stress of finishing it or the polish of a “final” mix hasn’t yet taken place.

The songs on this album are just that; tracks in earlier states of completion or entirely different versions that never made the final cut. It’s an interesting look at what gets left behind and buried that are no less powerful (sometimes even moreso) than the final cuts.

EULA - "Orderly" / "Meadows"
Bloodmoss Records 
Street Date: July 15th, 2014

Pre-order: bloodmossrecords.limitedrun.com/products/528587-eula-orderly-meadows-7-pre-order

On July 15th, Brooklyn’s EULA will release their latest single “Orderly” b/w “Meadows” on Bloodmoss Records. Recorded by legendary producer Martin Bisi (Sonic Youth, Swans), EULA’s angular, aggressive sound has reached their grandest scale yet. The merging of Alyse Lamb’s guttural wails with the band’s clashing guitars, deep rumbling bass, and booming backbeat-heavy drums is as chaotic as it is meditative. Bisi’s focus on layers and textures is apparent here as he pulls back Alyse’s haunting vocals just enough for the grimy feedback to have as much of an impact in all the heaviness.

Blood Sister - EP
Bloodmoss Records
Street Date: September 30th, 2014

Pre-order: http://bit.ly/BloodSister

Blood Sister is back with their heady brand of blown-out rippers. Ezana Edwards, formerly of Brooklyn act Night Manager, relocated to San Francisco after the band parted ways and initially started jamming with members of Bay Area mainstays such as Ganglians, The Mallard, and Warm Soda for early Blood Sister shows.

Edwards, who handles guitar/vocals, enlisted Vanessa Robinson on bass, Syam Zapalowski on guitar/synthesizer, and K. Dylan Edrich (ex-The Mallard) on drums to complete Blood Sister’s current live band. On his new self-titled EP for Bloodmoss Records, Edwards wrote and recorded all of the songs himself using a variety of studios and techniques that were vital for its completion.

Blood Sister has and will always be as loud as possible, and the dynamic song structures, screeching guitars, and surging blasts this time around don’t just make up songs, they make up a machine. And it’s a vicious one.

Jackson Scott - Sunshine Redux
Bloodmoss Records
Release Date: April 28th, 2015

Pre-order (CD/LP): bit.ly/SunshineRedux
Pre-order (iTunes): hyperurl.co/SunshineRedux

Out of the modern musical abyss comes Jackson Scott, a 22-year-old artist living in Asheville, NC. Finding pure metaphysical euphoria within the depths of cassette recorders and guitar pedals, he enjoys the simple things in life such as playing music with friends and falling into existential voids. After touring extensively for his debut album Melbourne in 2013, Jackson returned home to record an album that he could listen to in absolutely any negative or positive state of mind.

His second album Sunshine Redux is a translation of this paradoxical psyche, a kaleidoscope of sounds ranging from 60’s flower power to 90’s hip-hop production techniques. Veering from nihilistic punk rock explosions to gentle sonic nightmares, it is his most cohesive musical undertaking yet.

Black Baron - Abject Skin
Bloodmoss Records
Release Date: May 26th, 2015

Pre-order (LP): http://bit.ly/AbjectSkin
Pre-order (iTunes): hyperurl.co/Abject-Skin

There’s an intoxicating feeling inside Hamilton, Ontario, and Black Baron has managed to distill the essence of that feeling into a potent brew. In the same way that the films of David Lynch are sewn together from the fabric that holds together dreams, Black Baron creates songs from the fabric of Hamilton. While the local hardcore scene has been cutting records reminiscent of the city’s steel mills since the early 1990’s, Black Baron, a band comprised of some of the city’s hardcore elite, creates the soundtrack to a different side of the city. 

Unlike the punishing steelfucker sound of Hamilton hardcore, Black Baron’s music is rooted in a deep sense of melancholy, one that does not seek destruction, but rather seeps its way into the collective consciousness following the potentiality of destruction or abandonment. Coming from a city devastated by economic decline following the shrinking of its industrial sector, Black Baron evokes the haunting memory of the closure and loss of Hamilton landmarks at a time when the city appears to be on a cultural upswing.

To ascribe a genre stamp to Black Baron’s music feels like sacrilege. While on paper the band’s sound could loosely be described as post-punk, the dreamy, nearly aquatic tones, dazzling riffage, and unabashed lyrical melodrama add dynamic elements to their sound that are typically missing from that of their peers. The band’s debut full-length album Abject Skin, which is chock full of new material along with refined versions of tracks taken from their 2013 tape Divine Chains, is a representation of a band sticking to their hometown roots all while carving their own vicious path.

Pre-order (Bloodmoss): bit.ly/FutureDeath-Cryptids
Pre-order (iTunes): hyperurl.co/Cryptids-EP

With just two years of activity, Austin-based space punk band Future Death have kept busy. They released their first single in July 2013, and their debut self-titled EP was released in October of that year. After many regional tours and countless local shows, they released their debut full-length album Special Victim in May 2014 on Portland's Bloodmoss Records, garnering attention from Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, Noisey, and more. The album was followed by extensive national tours in 2014 and 2015 with Texas bands This Will Destroy You and Boyfrndz. The band and their music was also featured in the upcoming indie slasher film Night of the Babysitter (2015).

Future Death’s upcoming EP titled Cryptids on Bloodmoss sees the band incorporating more in-studio recording techniques with a broader sound and lush synthesizer work from vocalist Angie Kang, as well as fluid and cohesive track transitions. Listeners will hear an array of progressive instrumental work propelled by gospel-influenced chops and melodies.

The EP is intended to be listened to from beginning to end.
