Artist: SG (Andrew Pekler) 
Title: For Lovers Only / Rain Suite  
Cat#: faitiche 33
Release: Oct 6th 2023
Format: LP/DL

SG is none other than Andrew Pekler returning to faitiche with an album of sentimental guitar escapism. For Lovers Only / Rain Suite features ten tracks made using only an electric guitar and a handful of effects pedals (plus some additional recordings of rain) and finds Pekler once again attempting to reconicile his tendencies towards kitsch, experimentation and minimalism.   What does Pekler's pseudonym SG stand for? Sentimental Guitar? Sound Gallery? Shy Guy? Sad Gnosis? Saudade Glamour? Soft Goth? We don't know, but we asked notorious Chicago romantic Sam Prekop for his take on the album – his reply:

It’s a wonder where the rivers go and far, how fast or slow. 

Just seconds to remember, who can forget,
when you are lost. 

I think to recount every step, in both hands, eyes open, the clouds unfold, one two three. 
Every other step, just as well.

Where the moss is soft, you know strong. How many hours, days?
I could have been careful, did I forget? 

Never mind. 
Waking up, in these arms, where the rivers go, slow. 
One two three, one two three.

Cathartic Ephemeral

There is something very special about the imperfections of old recording technology and sometimes things are so broken they kind of take on a life of their own. Over the years I have come to cherish a knackered old Polish Sochor tape delay in my studio which has so much wow and flutter the effect it imparts into delay and reverb is really quite special and I have resisted attempting to repair it for many years now as I fear that magic would be lost.

Today's happy accident was made by feeding a Roland D-50 via a Fairchild 664 L/C EQ and matching germanium preamp into the Sochor delay which was was pretty much all over the place as usual :-]
