Wharf Cat Records is excited to announce the Fire Dance 7” by Carson Cox (Merchandise), Sam York (WALL) and Austin Brown (Parquet Courts). This release features artwork by Wharf Cat Records OG and founding father, Sam Falls. 
The Fire Dance 7” is producer Carson Cox’s ode to downtown New York.  On “Fire Dance” and “Rene” the collaborators channel the glitz of Sam Falls’ shimmering cover artwork on tracks that resonate heat like august concrete in the city. These tracks are constructed from spliced disco rhythms, modulated synth lines, and searing guitars with Sam and Carson’s fevered vocals pulsing from all sides. This vinyl release is sure to become a collector’s item by what could accurately be described as a contemporary audio-visual dream team.

Shinkansen No.1 / New Ways is the second release from CC DUST, a new duo from Olympia, Washington featuring Maryjane Dunphe and David Jaques. Shinkansen No.1 introduces the record with a more industrial, harder edge than much of the group’s debut 12” (CC DUST – S/T), a fast paced, urgent song powered by by fast kick drums and Jaques’ bassline acrobatics. CC Dust opened every show on their recent European tour with this salvo, a dark energy that spirals upwards, with Dunphe’s vocal giving the production space to build into a crescendo.

New Ways on the other hand, is perhaps Dunphe’s finest moment yet set to disc. Dunphe is a performer who battles restraint, her every vocal performance a tour de force and New Ways is one of the most emotional and transcendent performances imaginable. With a terse retraint in the verses, the chorus here erupts into an anthem for doomed youth, with every crack in Dunphe’s voice hitting the listener square in the chest.

A light that casts shadow, CC Dust is doomed, romantic music anchored by Jaques’ live bass and the powerful performance values Dunphe has honed both in her punk group Vexx and in various film and performance projects. Musically, CC Dust’s precedents might be considered the European synth pop originators of the early 80s, there’s also an abundance of low-end hooks played on baritone and bass guitars that teases the ear like early New Order productions, but in Dunphe’s passionate vocal performances there’s a close-to-the- 
bone reality that bypasses cool detachment.

CC Dust play and write real songs lived. A desire for desire. What is it? How does it manifest? Is it all worth the tumult? CC Dust offer no answers as there are none, but they ask the right questions in a life-affirming way. Doomed, romantic, unanswerable and vital.

LYRICS:
Loner

I been feeling low shawty feeling low, Out of my zone, I'm on my phone, emotions can't control. I take a walk, I take a stroll can't be going home, I cause a brawl fucking with yall I'm just a broken soul.

I'm fucked up. I know that. I need help. I'm so sad. My best friends this loudpack's my lovers my left hand. I done slammed I done banged myself up I'm deranged, I know really strange I know I'm not the same. As I was to you then like I am to you now, Understand this aint how I want shit to go down. Is you fucking with me really? You aint fucking with me clearly, I'm severely going Grizzly in my head I feel so dizzy I...

CHORUS: I don't need your pity please leave me alone, I been feeling feelings that I don't condone. Feeling like I'm about to break my fucking phone all these followers around me...

I'm alone, so alone, I'm alone so alone I'm alone so alone I'm a Loner


People get caught up and I dont understand, Every niggas thats your fam is really just fan. Every dude that was your man he's got a complex, was it your or was it him who sent the drunk text?  No trust I'm jaded your guarded I'm faded, I'm standing wasted on Snapchat I'm naked... I done slammed I done banged myself up I'm deranged, I know really strange I know I'm not the same. As I was to you then like I am to you now, Understand this aint how I want shit to go down. Are you really gonna screw me pull the trigger go & do me Feeling gloomy I'm so loony, all this bullshit where's the beauty?

Cititrax is thrilled to present a full length LP entitled Adieux Au Dancefloor by Montreal based recording artist, Marie Davidson. Marie Davidson has emerged as one of the foremost electronic artists working in contemporary pop today. As a long-time member of Essaie Pas (DFA Records), Davidson has had the opportunity to hone her many talents. She has been participating in the city’s vibrant experimental community for much of her adult life. However, in 2012 she began to unveil compositions under her own name, revealing a solo artist who possessed the combined confidence and vulnerability required to write, produce and perform unaccompanied. Davidson’s intimate solo work is embodied through a host of synthesizers, sequencers and drum machines which coalesce in synchronized harmony, punctuated by vocals, half sung, half spoken in both French and English. She masterfully shapes the overall mood, themes, emotion, expression and intensity of her work, which gives the final result a distinctive, cinematic quality. 
With Adieux Au Dancefloor, Marie makes a slight departure from her last two releases, via Holodeck (2015) and Weyrd Son (2014), by creating her first fully dancefloor oriented piece of work. Through the 45 minutes of music that comprises the album, she experiments with pop structures, defines her voice, and layers rhythms to make complex and beautiful techno tracks. She closes the album with the title track in classic Chanson style.
Adieux Au Dancefloor will be released on October 6th. The record will be pressed on 160 gram white vinyl and will feature photographs by the equally talented Corinne Schiavone. The record will be housed in a full color printed heavyweight jacket along with matching printed inner sleeve. Pre-order available now. Digital release to follow.

Lyrics: 
It seems like honesty is not so fashionable these days, it's true, I ask a lot of questions.
You call me naive?
I'll tell you what, I'm naive to the bone.
Do you think I'm too soft?
Because I don't hide, or is it that your lost when I smile?
I don't need your love but I'll dare to ask you how you feel about me.
Just to get things straight.

I have no cards to hide.
My life is not a game.

Let me picture my future, a large room where you can hear the silence.
No space for arrogance, no pain in my chest.
Just the beating of my heart.
J'suis pas un cordeau moi! (In French)

In The Middle Ages, people used to wear clocks, it's 2016, get real.
So you think i'm too soft.
I have nothing to prove, I have no advice for you. But remember what Terrance said: 
"The last dance, we dance alone".
