Rock Obrobje

A real list of two halves this week: the first five tracks are all out of the indie pop/rock stable, with varying amounts of jangly guitar. Last Japan's excellent (and original) "B4 All That" then marks the slide into more dance oriented stuff, before Mary Lattimore brings things back to earth with some fab ambient harp-based(!) sounds. Pick of the week... tough choice... I really like the bookend tracks (Corridor, and Mary Lattimore), but Last Japan just gets the nod. I'm endlessly fascinated by the blends of sounds which hang together so well.

p.s. Lyrics! (requested by @vanillacaterpillar ) ~~~

Stay with me, my morning dew
Won't you be my love?
I need all you're givin me
It's you, oh you I'm dreamin of

All day long I'm day dreamin
Lookin out the window at the sun
In my tiny mind, I'm hiding out
Thinkin bout my lovely little one

In the time I spend with my head up in space, man
I am thinkin of your face
And when the morning sunlight brightens up my basement
I can feel your warm embrace

Since the day my love was born,
He was bound to come my way
Now he's here and here to stay,
Right until my dying day

In the time I spend with my head up in space, man
I am thinkin of your face
And when the morning sunlight brightens up my basement
I can feel your warm embrace,
Lover.

Virginia Wing 
Release new album ‘Ecstatic Arrow’ 
Out June 8th 2018
Limited Edition deluxe blue LP inc 20-page zine and poster / standard LP / CD

Their favourite records are the perfect counterbalance of the considered and the superficial. Whether it’s Madonna, Talking Heads or Holger Czukay - we enjoy these artists in the background with friends or profoundly and alone. 

Virginia Wing both understand and embrace this concept fully as they return with Ecstatic Arrow, an album which finds them in a place of renewed strength, optimism and clarity.

Recorded in Switzerland, in the family home of longtime friend and collaborator Misha Hering within the domesticity and gentle routine of communal life, the album represents a world as predisposed to solemn introspection as it is to blithe conviviality. 

Ecstatic Arrow borrows from the heterogeneous terrain of The Flying Lizard’s Fourth Wall, the exuberant technology assisted pop of Yellow Magic Orchestra and the playful sophistication of Lizzy Mercier Descloux’s Press Colour, arriving at the evergreen intersection of pop music and conceptual art. 

The resolute opener of Be Released and album centre point The Female Genius pair resonant Fourth World instrumentation with sonorous, loping drum patterns. Elsewhere, the sentimental march of single The Second Shift plays out like an after-hours ballad re-imagined by Wally Badarou and For Every Window There’s a Curtain is coloured by the blue-lit haze of an Eventide warped tenor saxophone.

Three albums in, the voice of Alice Merida Richards is more compelling and expressive than ever. The glacial deadpan of previous records has given way to a more candid, self-possessed delivery, showing an appreciation for the humour and tragedy innate in the downtown Arcadia of Laurie Anderson, Robert Ashley or even Lynn Goldsmith’s Will Powers. 

It’s with this voice that Richards outlines a simple ideality that fortifies the entirety of Ecstatic Arrow - inequality pervades, destructive behaviours are inherited and each subsequent generation has to reconcile the debts of its precursor - yet a space exists within ourselves and each other that houses a fact we must be reminded of - we have the ability to choose. Even in moments of frustration; the ascerbic eye-roll toward male entitlement, Glorious Idea or the world-weary Eight Hours Don’t Make a Day, there persists a joy for living that refuses to be confined.

A depiction of a group finally at ease with itself, Ecstatic Arrow is a tribute to the internal momentum that quietly guides us toward our destination.

HARMONY ROCKETS (MERCURY REV) WITH SPECIAL GUEST PETER WALKER
+ NELS CLINE (WILCO) + STEVE SHELLEY (SONIC YOUTH) + JESSE CHANDLER  + MARTIN KEITH

"…this small town (Woodstock), housing as it did so many maverick talents, fostered a scene of damage and dysfunction that endures to this day. It pulled in all manner of wannabes and hangers-on, alcoholic philanderers, dealers in heroin and cocaine, and left at least one generation of messed-up children with no direction home."
-- from 'Small Town Talk' by Barney Hoskyns

Longtime Woodstock resident, guitarist Peter Walker recorded two albums for the Vanguard label in the late Sixties in a style best described as American folk-raga. He studied with Ravi Shankar and Ali Akbar Khan, and was Dr. Timothy Leary's musical director, organizing music for the LSD advocate’s “celebrations.” He was also a close friend of fellow Woodstock resident, the late folksinger Karen Dalton, and helped produce Remembering Mountains : Unheard Songs by Karen Dalton (Tompkins Square), which features unrecorded Dalton compositions brought to life by Sharon Van Etten, Patty Griffin, Lucinda Williams and others.

Rediscovered by Tompkins Square in 2006 after decades out of sight, Walker has remained active into his 8th decade, recording for Jack White's Third Man label, and now, collaborating anew with fellow Upstaters, Harmony Rockets. Joined in a mighty super-session with Harmony Rockets (Mercury Rev), Martin Keith, Nels Cline (Wilco), and Steve Shelley (Sonic Youth), Lachesis/Clotho/Atropos is a mind-melting inter-generational collaboration that could only have coalesced around the wool sweaters, warm teacups and moldering bookstores of "Old Old Woodstock", both the real and mythologized versions.
