One Illusion Is Very Much Like Another

DRAFT 9/30

One thing you won’t be able to avoid on Bambara’s Stray is death. It’s everywhere and inescapable, abstract and personified  – perhaps the key to the whole record. Death, however, won’t be the first thing that strikes you about the group’s fourth – and greatest – album to date. That instead will be its pulverising soundscape; by turns, vast, atmospheric, cool, broiling and at times – on stand out tracks like “Sing Me To The Street” and “Serafina” – simply overwhelming.
 
Bambara – twin brothers Reid and Blaze Bateh, singer/guitarist and drummer respectively, and bassist William Brookshire – have been evolving their midnight-black noise into something more subtle and expansive ever since the release of their 2013 debut Dreamviolence. That process greatly accelerated on 2018’s Shadow On Everything, their first on New York’s Wharf Cat Records and  a huge stride forward for the band both lyrically and sonically. 
 
The album was rapturously received by the press, listeners and their peers. NPR called it a “mesmerising...western, gothic opus,” Bandcamp called the "horror-house rampage" "one of the year's most gripping listens," and Alexis Marshall of Daughters named it his “favorite record of 2018.”  Shadow also garnered much acclaim on the other side of the Atlantic. Influential British 6Music DJ Steve Lamacq, dubbed them the best band of 2019’s SXSW, and Joe Talbot of the UK band IDLES said, "The best thing I heard last year was easily Bambara and their album Shadow On Everything."  The question was though, how to follow it?
 
To start, the band did what they always do: they locked themselves in their windowless Brooklyn basement to write. Decisions were made early on to try and experiment with new instrumentation and song structures, even if the resulting compositions would force the band to adapt their storied live set, known for its tenacity and technical prowess. Throughout the songwriting process, the band pulled from their deep well of creative references, drawing on the likes of Leonard Cohen, Ennio Morricone, Sade, classic French noir L’Ascenseur Pour L’Echafraud, as well as Southern Gothic stalwarts Flannery O’Connor and Harry Crews.
 
Once the building blocks were set in place, they met with producer Drew Vandenberg, who mixed Shadow On Everything, in Athens, GA to record the foundation of Stray. After recruiting friends Adam Markiewicz (The Dreebs) on violin, Sean Smith (Klavenauts) on trumpet and a crucial blend of backing vocals by Drew Citron (Public Practice) and Anina Ivry-Block (Palberta) Bambara convened in a remote cabin in rural Georgia, where Reid laid down his vocals.
 
The finished product represents both the band's most experimental and accessible work to date. The addition of Citron and Ivory-Block’s vocals create a hauntingly beautiful contrast to Bateh’s drunken baritone on tracks like “Sing Me to the Street”, “Death Croons” and “Stay Cruel," while the Dick Dale inspired guitar riffs on “Serafina” and "Heat Lightning" and the call-and-response choruses throughout the album showcase Bambara’s ability to write songs that immediately demand repeat listens.
 
While the music itself is evocative and propulsive, a fever dream all of its own, the lyrical content pushes the record even further into its own darkly thrilling realm. If the songs on Shadow On Everything were like chapters in a novel, then this time they’re short stories. Short stories connected by death and its effect on the characters in contact with it. “Death is what you make it” runs a lyric in “Sweat,” a line which may very well be the glue that binds the pages of these stories together.

lyrics:
flat-back
we laid out on the floor
in the pitch black
of the early morn
you said hold this lightly things tend to erase

but sometimes it gets away from me
so i try my best to plant my feet

cause it’s getting harder to tell
if i’m even here
think i’ll go away for a while
see if i grow

but the ground keeps shifting underneath
so i try my best to plant my feet

struck match
lit our empty room
and the hot wax
smelled like her perfume
she said breathe in easy there’s no rush

DTT004 | Greg Mendez - Cherry Hell (Album)

https://deviltowntapes.bandcamp.com/album/cherry-hell-2

Working with a borrowed 8-track tape machine and two microphones, Mendez recorded the bulk of Cherry Hell in his bedroom. In the tradition of artists like Townes Van Zandt, Connie Converse, and Elliott Smith, its eight short songs follow characters coping with abuse, addiction, love, and regret.

Lyrics:

I wanna ride your brother's bike
I wanna stab his friends sometimes
I wanna tell a million lies
I wanna steal your partner's heart
I wanna turn your pain to art
I wanna cry in your mother's arms
I wanna wear your daddy's jeans
I wanna drink the way he did
I wanna smoke menthol cigarettes
and I wanna fight
I wanna fuck on ecstacy
I wanna love, but what's that mean?
I wanna go back on EBT

Pop Crimes - Goes

Peel Dream Magazine is the musical vehicle for NYC's Joe Stevens, who launched the band in 2018 with the critically acclaimed album "Modern Meta Physic." With it Stevens created a mysterious, liminal tribute to the hazy end of ‘90s dream-pop – a masterful mix of first-class songwriting precision and train-window sonic impressionism that duly found its place on numerous "Best of 2018" lists.

After 18 months of writing and live shows with a shifting cast of band members, Peel Dream are back with "Agitprop Alterna," an album that pushes the group's dreamy, motorik-heavy sound to a deeply melodic and beautifully discordant place. The album pays homage to a strain of mod-ish U.K. pop that spans early My Bloody Valentine and Talulah Gosh, up through early Stereolab, Belle & Sebastian, and even Broadcast. It's also indebted to stateside pop bands that were cut from a similar cloth -- Rocketship, Lilys, Yo La Tengo, and even "Nevermind"-era Nirvana.

Where the creation of "Modern Meta Physic" was a solitary pursuit, "Agitprop Alterna" found Stevens channeling the collaborative spirit of the band's ever-rotating live incarnation in the studio. The album is ultimately defined by the tension of difference: between itself and its predecessor; intertwined male-female vocals; the music's languid dreaminess and concrete sonic immediacy.

Deeply rooted in the Brechtian ideas of art as a tool to spur action, "Agitprop Alterna" deepens the connection between the existential and the interpretive first explored on "Modern Meta Physic," giving the listener space to find their own meaning in shimmering guitars, fuzzed-out synths, and buzzing organ drones. It is a rejection of manipulation in all its forms and a buzzsaw against complacency – soft-focus pop whose clear-cut message is that you get to decide the message. It's a rare trick to agitate without being obvious: perhaps that makes "Agitprop Alterna" the most Peel Dream Magazine-like statement yet.

Worst Party Ever - what about you?

'Moving Day' is the first single from the EP "Ok Now What" by Melbourne band Go Get Mum due out 20th March on Meritorio Records.

The songs of Aussie four-piece Go Get Mum revolve around the complexities of love, the power of friendship, connection with place, and the pitfalls of partying. The band are fascinated with simple but powerful storytelling where beauty is found amidst the mundane, drawing from the songwriting and sounds of Dick Diver, Boomgates, The Lucksmiths, Scott and Charlene's Wedding, and Darren Hanlon.

“If Sparkle Motion needed a moody dance number about body positivity, Post-Dick Circle Fuck is it. Not everyone is totally stoked on themselves and Post-Dick Circle Fuck kinda says, “Let’s talk about that”. That’s until we realise what it’s really saying which is “Pet Shimmers, Sparkle Motion would like some bit-washed guitar slide finishing moves thrown into that talk”, duh, can’t you see into portals? Us: never doubt our commitment to Sparkle Motion.”

You should be famous too, for falling in love with you
It’s ok to feel like storms, I promise to be the calm before
Reborn inside a downpour, we are a miracle to bear…
Witness to
Witness to
Collapsed like ideas
Poor Tyson’s trachea 
What a sugar bowl
All full of circling ants
Doing a weird dance
In some dream about
The birthplace of clouds
Where life just turned around

What a sugar bowl
All full of circling ants
Doing a weird dance
In some dream about
The birthplace of clouds
Where life just turned around
