Bit By The Fang

Vinyl / Digital
Release date: April 14, 2015

"Bit By The Fang is the first solo album from singer/songwriter John Andrews and his imaginary back up band "The Yawns."  John began recording the album in 2013 while working at a Salvation Army in the Amish country of Lancaster, PA, his home at the time. As the new year rolled around, he followed a demanding schedule of writing, recording and touring with both Quilt (drums) and Woods (keys). It wasn't until a well-earned break that he would find the time and energy to complete the solo record he started months before.  

He recounts the difficulties involved. "Traveling so much caused my whole living scenario in PA to kind of fall apart," he tells us, lamenting over the comfort only home can provide. As he moved back to his hometown of Yardville, NJ, he set up camp in his grandparent's empty living room to record & perform everything entirely by himself once again. 

Warm acoustic guitars, honky tonk piano, lap steel, singing saw and fluttering violins all sing together and create this well crafted, yet comfortingly sloppy, psych-country/R&B record. A self-taught piano player, you’ll hear him maneuver around the keys with the precision of players well beyond his years. Lyrically and stylistically John is capable of tackling even the subject of death with the lightheartedness of a Saturday morning cartoon in   "I'll Go To Your Funeral, If You Go To Mine".  It's hard not to conjure comparisons to Michael Hurley, Daniel Johnston or Kevin Ayers.  This album is a great introduction to the grandiose fables of characters at the mercy of Andrews‘ oddball mind." -Jeffrey Silverstein

Egoprisme - The Declining Light

When the day comes to take me out won't you take me to my favorite place? Buy me something good to eat and play those songs that I like to play, Cos I'm a dog and you know it ever since the day we met, yeh I'm a dog and you know it, just because I may be two wrongs wont make it all right

When the day comes to take me out wont you take me to the underground? Spend a little time to ease my heart, you found!

I heard about you you backdoor trickster mane, when the vernaculars slung from my song thats sung you slain, yeh 
I heard about you you backdoor trickster mane

you said lets do it again, the years 19 57
cos I guess to you its just a year that sounded like heaven
but what about them who don't want to live that again, that pain?
I heard about you you backdoor trickster mane

You said "Lets build us a ball 10 stories tall!"
but 10 stories ain't small so who's going to build said wall?
I doubt you and your friends want anything to do with it at all
I heard about you you backdoor trickster mane

Well right about now I'd thought we would all have figured out
That this silver spoon tyrant ain't really who he's talking about
Well he'll tell you one thing but the next day he's selling your house

I heard about you you back stream swimming trout
bleed out

Cos I'm a dog (and you know it)

In My Way

The Walk

Taken from Rips' forthcoming self-titled debut LP. Released by Faux Discx on June 16. Pre-order here: http://www.fauxdiscx.com/shop/rips
-------------------------------------------------------------
Brooklyn based Rips have quickly built a reputation amongst NYC showgoers, winning them over with their virtuous melodies and sheer ferocity amidst an endless flurry of shows. Their songs may channel late '70s New York City bands like Television and The Feelies, but Rips propels these references into something new. Their self-titled debut, produced by Austin Brown of Parquet Courts, is eleven tracks of buzzing guitar riffs driven by a charged rhythm section, all set under lyrics that are actually worth a damn.

Rips (the record) takes cues from the moonlighting era of rock, while delivering a set of songs distinctly fit for the modern age. Once described as a “hyperreal rock n’ roll group”, the phrase “borne forward ceaselessly into the future" is more what they’re going for here.

So break an old habit. Let your hair down (or up). Rips will take you there.
