Underground Youth and others

'Sadovaya” was entirely written in St. Petersburg, it takes its name from the street where Craig Dyer was living with Olya Dyer at that time. Most tracks are love songs inspired by Russian novelists and poets Craig was being introduced to, such as Lermontov, Dostoyevsky and Pushkin.

The music was highly influenced by Soviet era Post-Punk bands like Kino and by Russian cinema. Craig said: “the sound of the album has a raw quality that I was never able to recreate. There’s a genuine naivety to the recordings that makes it my most visceral, personal record”.

Faith

In the cold and dreary winter of 2009, alone in his bedroom and hidden from the darkness of the world outside Justin Paul Vallesteros had begun working on something that would change his life forever. What began as a couple notes played in experimentation soon transformed into vibrant melodies that soon shook Vallesteros’ musical foundation to the core. Guitar chords laced over pulse sating synth melodies and drum rhythms was a departure from Justin’s previous work; he began to create the dreamy nostalgic pop music that is Craft Spells. Justin is a California native who now finds residence in the mid-size town of Stockton, the heart of California. Craft Spells is the epitome of the recent uprising of the DIY music scene. Coming from a place not known for its musical history or impact on music culture it seemed destined for Craft Spells to stay as a bedroom pop project with no final destination in sight. But soon the shear amount of blog volume his work began to generate was unimaginable. Sites like Weekly Tape Deck, Pasta Primavera, No Modest Bear and Pitchfork’s Forkcast took notice and thus began the never ending worldwide posting and re-posting on blog after blog of Craft Spells. The sound is led by Justin’s blissful voice, backed behind beautiful guitar melodies over heavenly synths, pop basslines and looped rhythms. Captured Tracks has released 7” single for the song “Party Talk” and will release the debut LP due out in Spring 2011 called Idle Labor. 2011 is going to be a busy year now that Justin has set up a live band for future touring. Keep a look out for tour dates in Europe and US come the new year. In no time at all, Justin has been able to move out of Dave Brubeck and Pavement’s shadow to create something his own which he shares with the ever continuing admiration of the world.

In terms of people I have met since I started the label, Ben Woods was probably one of the first. Having tagged along with The Black Tambourines to the release party for aih02, he drunkenly haggled me down to 20p for a New Years Evil shirt. Since that formative night our paths have crossed many more times and with each occasion he seems to make more of an impression. First with the bluesy Lost Dawn on aih05, he then joined Gorgeous Bully on drums for the recent full band EP and most recently he's been tagging along with Pastel Colours who were also recent Pizza Club members.

This makes it sound like he's here on merit alone, but his latest incarnation as The Golden Dregs (and his first infront of the kit) is his finest innings yet. Recently described by NME as anti-garage (I'm not sure what that means either), 'The Life Aquatic' is a downbeat ditty, which despite Ben's talk of feeling weighed down, has a rather soothing effect. Maybe it's the husky tones. I'm not sure of the title's link to the wonderful Wes Anderson film, but you can certainly imagine it being perfectly matched with shots of Bill Murray looking longingly out to sea, having a smoke.

Free download as always and three physical pizza boxes are available from our shop NOW.

We asked Ben about his dream pizza, his response was my favourite yet..."Margarita, cause big dreams lead to disappointment".

recorded October 1990 with Kurt Heasley and Ken Francis in Ken's basement, somewhere in Northern Virginia.
I Was Wrong and the "first demo" versions of Throw Aggi Off The Bridge and For Ex-Lovers Only were also recorded during this session. The four songs were recorded but never properly mixed; the released versions (on the 2010 Black Tambourine compilation) were extremely rough cassette mixes that the band took home after the session was abruptly ended by Ken's mom.
