As modern life spirals further into chaos and confusion, David Vassalotti’s newest album Broken Rope, a follow-up to his revered out-of-print 2011 LP Book of Ghosts, presents itself as a soundtrack for the tumult
.
Vassalotti, a Florida-based songwriter and performer for critically acclaimed 4AD signees Merchandise (amongst numerous other projects), has used this record as an opportunity to delve further into his own diverse world of personal interests. Broken Rope is a passion project, with Vassalotti handling all of the writing, performing, recording, production, and art design.

From lo-fi guitar pop sounds (a la Flying Nun staples like The Clean and The Verlaines), to elements harsh industrial noise and musique concrete, Vassalotti weaves together a wide array of musical influences with a steady hand. Similarly, the album’s lyrics draw from literary references as far- reaching as Portuguese history, Russian folklore, and Spanish poetry.

Ambitious as it may be to cover so much ground, there is a rational flow and unity that ties the record together. In the chaotic globalism of the 21st century Broken Rope may not be the compass that helps us find our orientation, but it can still serve as a mirror to help shape our concept of where we fit into the fray. This is an adventurous album for uncertain times.

PITCHFORK: D. Vassalotti "Swallow My Pride"
“Tampa's Merchandise have a decade of artful hardcore and experimental pop under their belts-- but the devastating solo output of guitarist Dave Vassalotti is their best kept secret”

Tim Presley- "Clue"

NEVER BE THE SAME WHEN THE DAY GOES AWAY
WHEN YOU'RE ALL BY YOUR SELF
NOW ALL YOUR BIG IDEAS GO TO WASTE
'CAUSE THE TIME SPIRALS OUT

MAKE NO MISTAKE
ANTICIPATE
THERE WILL COME A DAY
WHEN IT ALL FADES AWAY


WHEN THE MONEY'S GONE & THE LIGHTS GONE AWAY
THEY'LL BE LOOKING FAR AWAY
TO THE NEXT STAGE OR THE FAD OF THE DAY
WHEN IT'S ON SOMEONE ELSE

HERE FOR TODAY
THINK IT WILL STAY
YOU'VE GOT IT MADE
UNTIL IT ALL FALLS AWAY

NOWADAYS IT SEEMS LIKE THE SQUARES RUN THE SHOW
BUT IN TIME WE'LL COME TO KNOW
TAKES MORE THAN FAME & SOME DIAMONDS ON YOUR CHAIN
TO MAKE OUR SPIRITS SHOW

WHAT'S COOL TODAY
ALL THAT YOU HATE
SOON GONNA CHANGE SO
DON'T THINK THAT YOU KNOW
WHAT'S COOL TODAY
ALL THAT YOU HATE
SOON GONNA CHANGE BECAUSE

EVERYONE KNOWS

Lunch Lady - 'Sweet One'

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.
