To conclude “Coming Together: Attica 50 Years On,” Blank Forms presented a day-long May Day radio show commemorating the 1971 Attica rebellion. Celebrating the 50th anniversaries of both Archie Shepp’s Attica Blues and Frederic Rzewski’s compositions “Attica” and “Coming Together,” the show featured key compositions and political recordings from the 1970s, including a rare concert of Rzewski’s Attica works with Julius Eastman, Sonia Sanchez reading at the prison accompanied by incarcerated poets and musicians, and a post-mortem from Bobby Seale about his participation in negotiations at the prison. Hosts Ciarán Finlayson and Lawrence Kumpf interviewed Renée Levine Packer, author of This Life of Sounds: Evenings for New Music in Buffalo (Oxford University Press, 2010); Glo Harris, wife of Beaver Harris; and Michael J. Hull, director of the film Betrayal at Attica (2021) and custodian of the digital archive of Elizabeth Fink's Attica Brothers Legal Defense evidence collection—writer Isaac Brosilow conducted an interview with Joshua Melville, son of Attica Brother Sam Melville. This event was produced in conjunction with the New York University Steinhardt Department of Art and Art Professions.

I’ve been meaning to make another volume of Geography of the Mind, a mix series dedicated to Canadian private press records for a while and I finally had the time to put one together. This time I’ve focused on rock in its many iterations: Francophone prog, barroom jam bands, home town psychedelia, coastal pop, 4-track shoegaze and suburban new wave. These songs span decades and coastlines but converge with a shared sense of independence and emotional resonance.

Moin’s Sunday Mix, shared in the same week as a surprise new EP, “focuses on a deeper late-night vibe, slow music that still resonates over time”.

This is a compilation of 16 UK 7" singles recorded between 1978 and 1982, compiled by JD Twitch, that showcases the DIY spirit of those times. 

"If Punk was the nuclear detonation, the fallout that came after was where a lot of the most interesting music of that era was made. People who would never have thought to release a record before realised it was something they could do, and the end result was a DIY explosion. I've always loved music that doesn't try to fit in a particular genre, that is anti-canonical and doesn't care what else is going on in music at that time, that takes risks and is full of imagination and ideas that may or may not make any logical sense but that resulted in something unique, that ignores conventions about how a record SHOULD be produced and that was created simply because its creators felt the urge to express themselves and share the results with some other people. This compilation compiles 16 tracks that fulfil all those criteria. None of them had any success, most are (unjustly) obscure but every one of them has inspired me and would be in my ultimate 7" singles box." – JD Twitch.

This release has been a real labour of love involving tracing long-lost artists to far-flung corners of the globe, persuading them that the modern world needs to hear the music they made several decades ago, tracking down lost masters, lovingly restoring 7"s in the case of those where the masters were lost and then conceiving an elaborate package with detailed sleeve notes to house the double album package.

*NOTE - Due to legal problems with the original title a new version of the sleeve has had to be designed and manufactured. We still hope to make the original packaging available in a modified form but in the meantime this will be released in a gatefold sleeve with printed inner sleeves containing all the info and notes from the original.

The original 2 x LP vinyl edition was to come in a super deluxe package combining a double-sided black and white four x 12" panel sleeve, hand-folded into an LP sleeve with a colour insert containing colour photos of all the sleeves all inserted in a bespoke pvc wallet. The four x 12" panel sleeve contains sleeve notes and detailed overviews of each individual track by JD Twitch, and an introduction by New York's DIY expert Dan Selzer. Due to the huge amount of work involved putting the sleeve together, it would only ever exist in an edition of 500 copies. 

Release date October 30th 2015. Distribution by Kompakt.

Digital version contains 13 tracks.

18-Celeste Violeta & Plan Quinquenal - Those Cats

By Hook Or Crook

An oral/aural exploration of the creative work, materiality, practice, and history of the four individuals who compose the collective Sacred Realism. Although their work as individuals is rather varied and unique, there is something similar (or not?) at the core as to why they each chose to become musicians. Through a threaded conversation and collective listening they (we) will try to understand further what the core of the collective is by each asking the other some questions about it and the work we do.

Sacred Realism is an independent music collective producing scores, recordings, and concerts. It formed through the friendship and mutual respect of Andrew Lafkas, Bryan Eubanks, and Catherine Lamb in 2011 in New York City following the desire to support each others work and initiate something self sustaining. Rebecca Lane joined later in 2017 in Berlin after the three others had eventually migrated there.

Sacred Realism ::: Conversations In Duo

A mix courtesy of David Kennedy of Still House Plants, whose "Fast Edit" LP is out August 14th via Blank Forms Editions and Bison Records. 

From David:  "A supplementary offer, next to some early releases of our music from 'Fast Edit'. The mix is a compiling of our loot crossfaded and muddled. The 3 of us are in isolation separately at the minute, in London and in Glasgow, and have sought closeness by giving, taking, sharing, and re-examining how we make. Listening back to rehearsals and noticing how we build things. Finding some calm in the glisses of synthesised and choral strings and voices. A simple tangle."
