You’ve heard Stuart Bogie before because he’s played saxophone, clarinet, and flute on a lot of records. TV On The Radio, Foals, Sharon Van Etten, Beth Orton, Alanis Morrisette, Taylor Swift, Run the Jewels, the list goes on and on and on.

We connected with Stuart during the early clutches of COVID through Korey Richey, DFA house engineer and LCD Soundsystem band member.

Stuart had been cooped up in the apartment that he shared with his partner, Karyn, and their family. Bored and seeking some relief, he started playing clarinet on Instagram Live every day for his friends, eventually soliciting drones and other sounds from others that he could play along to.

Korey knows Stuart, and so he asked James if he had anything lying around. Uncharacteristically, James said yes. The first was a drone of treated piano made in the 90s. The other was a long, similarly droning, though slightly darker organ piece made for a fashion show in the mid-2000s. Stuart played over both in separate sessions, improvising these beautiful, delicate clarinet runs for the sheltered, live-streaming few.

We listened back to the recordings in the office and couldn’t shake how great they were, a decompressing balm to the heaviness of the persistent world ending. They deserved a more meaningful existence than that of a shitty MP3.

So, Stuart came into the studio here and recorded over each drone again. This time Korey ran him through a stack of KORG delay units that stretched and smeared that clarinet into each drone until they were one delirious whole. Each recording clocked in at roughly 20 minutes - perfect side-long lengths. It all fell into place so naturally.

“Morningside,” produced by Korey and James, mixed by James, and mastered and cut by Bob Weston, is the result of this long, serendipitous journey. It’s out October 27.

A final, but important note: the cover features a detail of a photograph called “The Burial Vault” by Gregory Crewdson, taken from his recent series “Eveningside.” (The full photograph is featured on a printed insert inside the record jacket.) A few months earlier, Gregory was finishing what would become “Eveningside” and asked James (a friend) if he might, y’know, have any music lying around. A video was being made about the new work and music was needed. James sent these tracks, which evidently sort of stopped Gregory in his tracks. The symbiosis was so natural that Stuart also finally found the title he’d been searching for (until that point, we’d been calling the record simply “Clarinet and Delay.”) You can view the film and a bit more back story here on Gregory’s Substack.

Sean La’Brooy is an Australian producer and composer cur- rently based in New York, who’s work traverses ambient, jazz and house music. He is the co-founder of Australian ambient label Analogue Attic Recordings.

With this release, La’Brooy has hooked up with the Scissor and Thread label to put out Merchant - five dreamy and versatile tracks featuring his distinct style of harmonically complex pads mixed with jazz-influenced instrumental melodies and solos.
Snow Storm starts the journey, coupling field recordings with snippets of gentle jazz lines and wandering percussion.

Cargo is the most dancefloor-oriented of the release, and locks into a driving groove early on, featuring various synth and pia- no fragments to add and flow through the track.

Pilot is a track that also finds an off-kilter groove, embellished with dubbed-out percussion by fellow Australian Joseph Batrouney and samples.

Storage too features a guest - New York based drummer Leo Yucht - who delivers a rolling breakbeat which is intertwined with live percussion, airy pads and snippets of piano to build a rich atmosphere.

The closing piece is Helipad, a dubby bassline providing the anchor for an intricate rhythm of bongos and synth to support a light-as-a-feather melody.

As Sean explains, “The purpose of this record was to create five tracks that each feel unique and distinctive from each other while still maintaining a common thread that connects them all to the same place. All my favorite records have a certain distinctiveness across each track that ties them together to create a sort of family of works. I think if you can achieve that cohesion, you’ve made a great album. With Merchant, I’ve tried my hardest to establish a unique identity while featuring 5 tracks that feel totally different at the same time. Different con- cepts, genres, tempos, instrumentation, still with a red thread to connect them all. In my mind, those commonalities are defined by a particular mood or sentiment, the use of playful melodies, and a reliance on acoustic rhythms throughout”.
