Princess Peter - SEAL OF APPROVAL

Henry's Dress were that rare band for us - a group that we discovered through a demo tape, and then only through the Linton's heroic perseverance in getting a very busy Papa Slumber to listen. Boy, are we glad we finally listened! This EP documents the band's middle period, branching out from their initial interests in Loop-meets-MBV pop heaviness into the more mod/punk sounds that would fuel their later efforts. It's a superb, varied record well worthy of your further investigation.

Anyway you slice it, this record is a smash. Hard-hitting tracks like "Radio One" and "Feathers" are the Dress at their punkiest best. Linton's "A Is For Cribbage" is the Dress at their most mod, coming on like an early Who on a handful of purple hearts - it's possibly our favorite Dress tune! And then of course there's "Sally Wants" and "Three" - a couple of blissed-out fuzzed-out downtempo tracks that beat the space-rockers to the punch by a few solid years.

The band would go even further down the mod/punk route with their subsequent album "Bust 'em Green," but this EP represents a raw, immediate document of a band finding their footing and their own unique sound. And best of all - it still sounds freaking great.

SLOW DOWN

the past is fading

Holy Mother – © ⓟ 2014 Seth Faergolzia, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

Moss that creeps, growing slowly 'cross a stone
Creepy moss, draping over everywhere it can
The moss is draping over everything it can
It can because its nature says it can

Long ago in distant lands across galaxies
Flew a stone, came to rest on lonely planet
Soon made home and grew from nearly nothing into life
A home to possibility 

A place called Earth, like no other
A place where endless beauty shifts and shapes with life
Some call it our Holy Mother
She holds and guides her children into endless light
Ah

Take a peek, a look inside a history
Heaven speaks when one has open ears to nature
Moss will creep and crawl across the face of Mother
How she laughs as life will tickle her

She is kind and grants the gifts up from her bosom
Peace of mind when one dwells within her garden
What you'll find inside her mystic thinking there is moss
A moss that's creeping over everything

A place called Earth, like no other
A place where endless beauty shifts and shapes with life
Some call it our Holy Mother
She holds and guides her children into endless light
Ah

Holy Mother

Mom, I've Changed

Teton's debut album Candy Spelling hits the world via Pretty Purgatory on July 21st. Pre-order it at bit.ly/candyspelling.

--
Teton is the brain-child of Elizabeth Lovell and Sam Klickner, both raised in small, rural towns in Southern Illinois. Klickner, a music school drop-out, primarily self-taught performer and improviser, has recorded five records as the drummer of Chicago’s Wei Zhongle, while Lovell, a classically-trained pianist, fronted various outfits in the midwestern DIY universe, eventually cutting her teeth in composition, while working on a research facility in Antarctica. Soon after their romantic collision, the duo relocated to Portland, Oregon to join bassist and fellow, former-Illinoisan Jef Hill. Following a year of intense rehearsals, the band recorded their debut with long-time friend and collaborator David Allen (of International Anthem) and began touring the West Coast. 

The band’s debut, Candy Spelling, is a six song collection of contrapuntal art-pop that synthesizes the disparate traditions of 80’s icons like Kate Bush and Prefab Sprout with the dualistic prog of bands such as Magma and Henry Cow, while taking notes from medieval music and contemporary chamber music. Across lyrical themes of companionship, labor, birth, and the manifestation of intent, Teton delivers a specific sort of abstraction; one which is physically embodied in the album’s artwork (designed by Klickner), with it’s surrealist figurative and architectural forms, painted in dark gradients of burgundies and purples. 

Candy Spelling is a flowing Dalinian songscape, salted with intertwining melodicism that is rarely found in a power trio. Throughout, it's hard to believe that the sounds are being made live by only three people, as the music delivers five musical voices. Lovell delivers vocal lines polyrhythmically against her own quilted, double synth accompaniment. Klickner and Hill provide an erected, powerful back bone — a detailed trellis of rhythm and counter melodies. Of course, there are momentary guest features on the album from Portland luminary Andrew Auble and Wei Zhongle clarinetist John McCowen.

Teton’s intensely personal sound is perhaps partly the result of the couple’s lifestyle as artist polymaths: Lovell is a clothing and fiber artist; Klickner, a filmmaker and visual artist. Their combined aesthetic across forms is uncanny, dreamlike, and mystifying, with rich dichotomies at play. The songs are both masculine and feminine; delicate and aggressive; welcoming and merciless. Within these 25 minutes of music resides a fantasy world, sustained on dream-logic and chaotic symbolism. Teton embodies their mountainous namesake —a bold and towering ecosystem of taught, woven voices charged with an emotional richness found only in the intimacy of lovers.

Somnaut was an experimental electronics/voice duo in NYC in the late 90s. The intersection of science and art was Somnaut's playground. Jane Lecroy, a performance poet & singer, brought her unique vision to raw-yet-beautiful electronic & electro-acoustic constructions by David Last.

In this live track from 1997 you can hear the mysterious, experimental but fun vibe of Somnaut performances, which were always bathed in the light of video projections by Aaron Harder.
