WHITE WISHES - Not Today (2010)

In the cold and dreary winter of 2009, alone in his bedroom and hidden from the darkness of the world outside Justin Paul Vallesteros had begun working on something that would change his life forever. What began as a couple notes played in experimentation soon transformed into vibrant melodies that soon shook Vallesteros’ musical foundation to the core. Guitar chords laced over pulse sating synth melodies and drum rhythms was a departure from Justin’s previous work; he began to create the dreamy nostalgic pop music that is Craft Spells. Justin is a California native who now finds residence in the mid-size town of Stockton, the heart of California. Craft Spells is the epitome of the recent uprising of the DIY music scene. Coming from a place not known for its musical history or impact on music culture it seemed destined for Craft Spells to stay as a bedroom pop project with no final destination in sight. But soon the shear amount of blog volume his work began to generate was unimaginable. Sites like Weekly Tape Deck, Pasta Primavera, No Modest Bear and Pitchfork’s Forkcast took notice and thus began the never ending worldwide posting and re-posting on blog after blog of Craft Spells. The sound is led by Justin’s blissful voice, backed behind beautiful guitar melodies over heavenly synths, pop basslines and looped rhythms. Captured Tracks has released 7” single for the song “Party Talk” and will release the debut LP due out in Spring 2011 called Idle Labor. 2011 is going to be a busy year now that Justin has set up a live band for future touring. Keep a look out for tour dates in Europe and US come the new year. In no time at all, Justin has been able to move out of Dave Brubeck and Pavement’s shadow to create something his own which he shares with the ever continuing admiration of the world.

Artist: Woodsman
Track: Further
SC003 - Side A

On perhaps their most realized work to date, ‘Further’ is the sound of Woodsman in the here and now. Fine-tuned while performing live, the track mirrors not only where the trio is at musically, but as human beings as well.  Brought into the studio exclusively for Singles Club, the track is testament to Trevor, Mark, and Dylan’s ability to adapt and listen to one another.  A nice companion to their self-titled LP released earlier this year, this cut goes deep into Woodsman’s past, all-the-while introducing us to a new era of their limitless potential.

This track is part of a series of 45rpm singles being released quarterly in 2014 called Singles Club. Get a full year for $55 including shipping at singlesclub.fm.

Single Issues also available for $8.

Hante. is releasing her album "No Hard Feelings" on the 6th of September. Repartiseraren has gotten a hold of the third song off this release, titled "Une Nuit Avec Mon Ennemi". 

On this release, it feels like Hante. has grown out of her first stage and fully embraced the more theatrical, atmospheric and poppier side of her music. 

The blaring synthesizers, the jabbing percussion, everything is clad with a shroud of black - but with a meaning, an intent. It is beautiful in all its mystery and misery.

"No Hard Feelings" will be available digitally, as a limited edition digipack-CD and limited edition white vinyl.

The lyrics are a metaphor in french for insomnia.

Lyrics:

Je ferme les yeux Tu te ballades sous mes paupières
Commence alors notre petit jeu Celui du loup et du coeur de pierre

Les mots s’embrasent Sur tes lèvres closes dans la pénombre
Les heures se fanent La nuit se consume et je sombre

New kids on the block Ex-Local dish out their first release Earth Signs from South London talent Kxngs. After living on the streets for a year, the Brixton artist found salvation through music after securing a degree from the University of the Arts – and has been catching admirers ever since. His new release is exponentially good, with “Through The Storm” receiving BR's seal of approval.

Lined with kinetic kuduro rhythms and shooting dynamic vocals, “Through The Storm” is spurred on by cascading strings. Drawing upon wide-spanning influences from his travels, Kxngs has created a jittery, upbeat marvel that’ll get any feet tapping.

Earth Signs drops through Ex-local on 14th October

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".

Stream / buy "Beautiful Strangers:" https://kevinmorby.bandcamp.com/album/beautiful-strangers-b-w-no-place-to-fall 

This release is dedicated to and written for all the people I have never met but have only read about. The innocent people who were out living their lives and one day, without warning, had them taken away from them. People who liked to laugh, dance, and love in the way that we all do, but cant anymore. All those names and faces, all those beautiful strangers...
 
So here are two songs, "Beautiful Strangers" as well as my cover of Townes Van Zandt's "No Place To Fall" that I have been closing my live show with over the past year. Any purchase of these two songs will go to support the work of Everytown For Gun Safety - an organization I have followed for quite some time. I believe in and support them in their efforts to make the world a safer place. So if you wish - you can donate as little or large as you'd like and I do hope you enjoy the songs. Do it for the kids.
 
Love and peace,
Kevin Morby
