Twiddle 7/27/13 Syncopated Healing - Gathering of the Vibes Bridgeport, CT

L.A. RECORD (February 2013): “…like the Cramps, these guys have taken all their favorite sounds and combined them into something new and balls-out trippy…as if someone had kidnapped a chanteuse from Pentangle…and propped her up in front and then had them tour the Congo.”

Thrasher Magazine Extra Classic Feature Interview (April 2012):  “Often times there are
good reasons for doing things the hard way, like recording an album all-analog and mixing it by hand…”

Pennyblack (www.pennyblackmusic.co.uk): “Emotive, and done with so much dedication and devotion to old reggae, may appeal to those who enjoy the music of the mid 1970s from acts such as Big Star and Dwight Twilley.”

New York Music Daily: "...you can imagine the crew gathered around the mixing board, its lights twinkling through the haze of ganja smoke."

Extra Classic is a band based out of San Francisco, CA.  Recording in their analog studio in San Francisco, lead songwriters, Alex and Adrianne deLanda, formed Extra Classic based on their mutual love of classic Jamaican dub and psychedelic rock and roll.  After self-releasing their own 45rpm vinyl singles, the Roots/Psychedelic inspired debut Extra Classic full-length album, “Your Light Like White Lightning, Your Light Like A Laser Beam,” was released by Burger Records in 2012 on cassette (currently sold out).  Manimal Vinyl (Los Angeles, CA) released the album on gatefold vinyl LP format.

The Extra Classic live band consists of the following players.  Adrianne deLanda (vocals and keyboards; formerly Adrianne Verhoeven) released an album under the name, “Dri,” titled, “Smoke Rings” in 2007.  Adrianne was a member of The Anniversary from 1997-2003 (Vagrant Records).  Alex deLanda (bass & guitar) is a song writer/producer who has worked with The Papercuts (Sub Pop), The Donkeys (Dead Oceans), and Casiotone for The Painfully Alone among others.  Alex maintains an analog tape recording studio, Nopal Recording, in San Francisco where all Extra Classic songs are produced.  Josh Adams (drums) has played with bands such as Mike Andrews, Linda Perhacs, and Zander Schloss & Sean Wheeler.  Josh Miller (guitar) also plays in bay-area based band, The Wrong Words (Trouble In Mind).  Aaron Deer (keys) co-founded the cassette label, Magnetic South.  Extra Classic is booked by Robin Taylor at Inland Empire Touring.

Inspired by their favorite classic Jamaican Dub and Lovers Rock albums, Alex and Adrianne have worked to create a “Showcase” LP for the sophomore Extra Classic release.  In the traditional “Showcase” format, each song is immediately followed by its corresponding dub/version.  Thus, the Extra Classic “Showcase” LP has 6 songs, each followed by a dub/version, for a total of 12 songs on the album.  All of the songs from the Extra Classic “Showcase” album were produced with vintage recording equipment and tape machines from the 60s & 70s.  The dub/versions of each song on the album highlight various aspects of themes presented in each song with a psychedelic sonic quality.  Alex and Adrianne have worked diligently to create new songs with old sounds in a swirling mixture of analog tape splicing, space echo, heavy phase, and classic song-writing themes.

[1997.12.06] Tweezer

Tycho "Awake" LP on Ghostly International
Release date: MARCH 18, 2014

Purchase "Awake": shop.iso50.com/collections/awake

formats:
CD/LP/DIGITAL

For nearly a decade, Tycho has been known as the musical alias of Scott Hansen, but with the release of Awake – his second LP for Ghostly International – the solo project has evolved into a three-piece band. Relating closer to post-rock than ambient soundscapes, the record is situated in the present, sounding more like Hansen than drawing from his influences. “This is, in many ways, the first true Tycho record.”

Following 2011’s Dive LP, the San Francisco-based designer toured extensively, and with a full band on stage, his sound coalesced into a percussive, organic whole. Zac Brown (guitars, bass) rejoined Scott on the road for this tour, but it was the particular addition of Rory O’Connor’s live drumming that ultimately sent Hansen back to the studio with a more precise vision. “After the tour, I decided that I wanted to capture the more energetic, driven sound of the live show on the next album,” Hansen recalls. Bringing musicians into Tycho’s creative process was a step towards expanding his own songwriting and advancing the project beyond its current sound.

In a cabin near Tahoe last winter, Zac and Scott began fleshing out the structure of the new record, but it wasn’t until they set up shop in the hills of Santa Cruz with Rory that it all fell into place. “It crystallized the vision of how the drums would come to the forefront on this record,” says Hansen. The sound was much more stripped-down and concise with more organic instruments in the fold. Songs like “Montana” and “Awake” are a departure from Tycho’s previous material – unique to the group effort poured into the songs on the new record – while “See” and “Dye” echo ideas from previous works, bridging a middle ground between the old and new. Working with Count Eldridge, who also engineered Dive, the team could fixate on the pulses that Tycho might previously layer under synthesizers and exhume them with distinct bass and guitar patterns.

Also known for his design work as ISO50, Hansen’s visual and sonic efforts have dovetailed throughout the course of his career. “This is the first time in my life I've dropped everything to focus on one artistic pursuit,” notes Hansen. Previous Tycho releases came to fruition when an amalgam of songs were nearing completion, but Awake is where music becomes the focus and true expression becomes the result.

Awake

3rd and final single off The Age Of Reason before the album drops!

LYRICS:
I think I'm high, no I definitely am,
I can tell by the way that I'm jumpin out my skin,
ill be fine but damn you're fine,
and that ass is a 10,
I hope you're not offended just sharin my opinion,
with you sweetheart, lets go for a swim,
the heat is killin my high and I'd love to see you in,
the room completely nude you're soaking wet damn look at you,
rockin that shit on this lovely afternoon boi.

After we dried off I thought we could assume,
more sexual positions by the side of the pool,
who cares who is watching all the freaky things we do,
rocking that shit what a lovely afternoon.

HOOK
Girl it was obvious that I wanted more than a kiss,
But no relationship,
Just some freaky shit! 
Girl it was obvious that I wanted more than a kiss,
Those eyes those lips those hips,
Now shake your ass to this!
Oh,oh,oh,oh,oh

Menahan Street Band - The Crossing

Buy it here: http://shop.daptonerecords.com/products/lights-out-keep-coming-back

Dark, triumphant and mysterious; the new Menahan Street band 45 single "Light's Out" conjures images of hard-fighting pugilists battling it out under a bare bulb, of a matador's graceful execution of a lumbering bull, of sweat, romance and victory.  Brought in by a rollicking, almost tipsy, Hammond melody and backed by a smoky smooth guitar line, “Keep Coming Back” eventually erupts into a swanky nightlife anthem, complete with red velvet curtains and a garnished highball.

Live from Higher Ground in Burlington,VT April 20th 2013

Twiddle 4/20/13 Earth Mama - Higher Ground Burlington VT

"Soul Visions" is a collaborative album by The Human Experience and Rising Appalachia.

Name Your Price for the album here: http://thehumanexperience.bandcamp.com/releases

“Rising Appalachia" is a genre-bending force of sound that uses vocal harmony, traditional instrumentation, roots music, lyrical prowess and diverse artistic collaborations to defy cultural clichés and ignite musical rebellion...

“The Human Experience” is David Block’s principal project as a live 
electronic composer, multi-instrumentalist, producer. Listeners 
experience a delicious symphonic blend of prismatic soundscapes and
sultry beats.

Rising Appalachia and The Human Experience met many years ago on the shores of southern India. After spearheading each of their own unique musical paths, they have joined forces to birth a soulful new electro/acoustic collaboration, merging sounds from around the world in an elaborate artistic love-child of beats, voice, banjo and bass. "Soul Visions" is their first step in the long journey of bringing together electronic music and soul, folk and ballads, bass rhythms and swamp-womp in an effort to bridge worlds through aural exploration. "Soul Visions" speaks to the lover and the dance floor, the ritual holder and the song collector and the visionary and the shadow-worker... bringing deep root sounds into a highly mechanical world.
