GRAFTS

Holotype Editions was founded as a means of bringing out music by some of the most unique and peculiar artists of the last decades. What could be more fitting for the imprint’s seventh release, than the duo of cult artist Ghédalia Tazartès and multi-instrumentalist, composer and singer Maya Dunietz.
Recorded live at Cafe Oto, in December 2013, Schulevy Maker documents the duo’s first live appearance. An amalgam of bizarre samples, concrete sounds, live piano and bells, juxtaposed with the otherworldly voices of Dunietz and Tazartès. At times light and humorous, at others dark and ritualistic, Schulevy Maker can hardly be labeled or tagged. The album title refers to Shoemaker-Levy 9, a disrupted comet that collided with Jupiter in July 1994. Tazartès and Dunietz freely reassembled the syllables of the comet’s name, coming up with this obscure title.
A truly life-affirming record, by two artists defying categorization, Schulevy Maker comes in a limited edition of 300 copies, pressed on black vinyl with a beautiful cover designed by We Are Still Bold and Beautiful.

Robedoor: Rock Bottom LP

The perfect basement ritual perpetrated by creepy guitars, acoustic drones, echo waves and frying amps that will bring your memory back to the first recordings of LA dungeon pysch trio Robedoor. Previously released as a limited tape by Shawn Reed's Night People, finally this little gem sees again the light on the vinyl format it deserves - in a slightly remastered version - dressed to party in a new cover artwork by Amanda Brown.

"You were lying there in a ditch" / "What is wrong with the Universe"

Edition of 300 on black vinyl.

Robedoor: Drag It Away

As the year comes to an end we are launching a new sublabel SOUMA RECORDS. We are happy to take off with a double drop of vinyl reissues of 2 great songs from the 'Star of the Orient', Om Kalsoum. We are so honoured by this request from Egypt that we named the label after her name. 'Souma' was Om Kalsoum's popular nickname by her Egyptian fans during the years of her succes.

Orders are open on our bandcamp:

Failing Lights: Afternoon Summer Sex LP

Solo project of long-time superstar Mike Connelly (Wolf Eyes, Hair Police) building the perfect negative of his bands - but still walking a similar path of his bandmates' solo work - trading noise for quiet and jolts for scraping echoes. Afternoon Summer Sex - so far the second LP release byFailing Lights for 2012 - is a black swamp full of analog processing, whirling drones, chiming tones and shrouded electronic crackles. A slow-pace listen of minimal repetiton that gives the idea of an eternal - and suffered - fadeout.

"If this is a trend, pinpointing when it began is probably impossible. But for me one record could be a small but vital starting point. In 2010, Wolf Eyes & Hair Police member Mike Connelly put out his first official solo full-length as Failing Lights. It's a masterwork of dark silences and tantalizing restraint. If there's something calming the noise waters lately, Failing Lights was a first drop in that direction". - Marc Masters, Pitchfork

Edition of 150 numbered copies, silkscreened covers.

Ghédalia Tazartès: Check Point Charlie double LP

Born in Paris in 1947, Ghédalia Tazartès started singing when he was twelve-year-old, creating his own language. He began a professional career in dance, theatre, cinema, while still giving some occasional concerts and publishing a few albums, each one of them an acclaimed masterpiece. Recorded in 1989 and originally released by Aaya in 1990, Check Point Charlie is the first work by Tazartés conceived for the compact disc format and its different time boundaries. The result is a sixty-minute long collection of layered field recordings combined into a polyphonic ceremony filled by his typical multi-tracked vocals, between a gibberish scream and the muezzin’s call to prayers. A unique record that - after almost 25 years - it's finally enjoyable with the depth of sound that only a vinyl release can give.
