Widowspeak // When I Tried

The first track from the Friendship LP Shock out of Season, out November 3, 2017 on Orindal Records

"If You See My Beloved"

We walked to the dam behind the art museum

You said you made a connection with Auguste Rodin

You must’ve been tired from standing so much

Because you took my hand and we held each other up

Some time went by before you asked me

Why was I so distracted, how could I have changed so quickly?

The water was pretty, but unclear

Does the flow come naturally here?

Everything makes an impression

Clouds come on, do their drifty thing

Now it’s starting to rain, the only day we both have off

It’s starting to rain

If it don’t bother you, then it don’t bother me

Eddies were breaking on the spillway gates

I said “I’m sorry, that’s just how I operate”

You always had a supportive attitude

I don’t care what you say, I agree with you

Everything came on quickly

Is something wrong? no, never

Now it’s starting to rain on the only day we have

It’s starting to rain

If it don’t bother you, it don’t bother me

Carry me in your current, deliver me to your gulf stream

If you’d asked me then, I would’ve said we were living the dream

Believe me, my admiration for you hasn’t died

The heaven of us is still daily on my mind

Everything made its impression

Clouds came on, did their thing

Now it’s starting to clear up on the only day

It’s starting to clear up

If it don’t bother you, then it don’t bother me

If you see my beloved, say what’s up for me

Friendship - If You See My Beloved

"Jealousy is one of those hideous emotions that stops us from being able to be happy, for others and ourselves. It's insidious and destructive, and it's also totally human."

Jess Cornelius is the New Zealand-born songwriter, singer, and instrumentalist behind Teeth & Tongue. Over the course of four critically-acclaimed albums, Teeth & Tongue gradually morphed from a solo project into a more collaborative 'band-like' affair, culminating in the 2016 album Give Up On Your Health, which was released through Dot Dash/Remote Control in Australia and Dot Dash/ Captured Tracks in North America.

The album was nominated for a J Award and the Australian Music Prize, named Album of the Week on 3RRR and Feature Album on Double J, and featured in Rolling Stone, The Fader and Lena Dunham's Lenny magazine.

Now Jess Cornelius is focusing on a new solo project under her own name, with material that is more stripped back, personal and lyrically direct. Her solo performances showcase her voice and songwriting to full effect as she performs new music from her upcoming release, out in late 2017.

Jess Cornelius has performed at Laneway Festival, Meredith Music Festival, Falls Festival, Boogie, SXSW, CMJ, Perth International Arts Festival and Darwin Festival. She has toured with Courtney Barnett and Vance Joy and performed as a musical guest on several episodes of SBS Television's 'Rockwiz' series. She has also supported J Mascis, Sons & Daughters, EMA, Juana Molina, The Dodos, The Mountain Goats, the Drones and Laura Marling, and in 2013 was invited to make an EP in public at the National Gallery of Victoria.

Mike Adams At His Honest Weight - Turn Our Love Around

Taken from the album Unconditional Love (ORD-37)

Matt Bachmann (b. 1988, Chicago) is a musician/composer/songwriter based in New York. Maybe best known for his bass plucking in Mega Bog, the Seattle-New York-anywhere fresh music nest of Erin Birgy, Matt’s also spent time on the road with Hand Habits, Happy You, and iji. 

In 2015, Matt released In Between on Help Yourself Records under the name Big Eater, the name under which much of Matt’s recorded and performed song-oriented music has been collected up until now. In 2016, Matt released Salt and Love Shape on his own label, Left Door Tapes, this time eschewing the song-writing moniker of Big Eater and releasing the albums under the name. These two 2016 albums show another side of Matt’s musical output: repetitive, patient drone music that explore unconventional, seemingly rootless harmonies. The songwriting process and the ambient, meditative process had always been kept separate by the two names, but in 2018 Matt retired the name Big Eater in an effort to bring together both processes. Bringing everything under the name of Matt Bachmann re-invests each project with the holistic intimacy of their shared origin (Matt himself), under the honest heading of his name. 

Matt’s latest record, Unconditional Love, will be released on tape via Orindal Records in November 2018. Unconditional Love represents the union of Matt’s always various approaches to music-making. It paints a restrained, sparse sonic picture with a limited and carefully applied sonic palette. The album brings the spare, focused impulse of Salt and Love Shape into the frame of Matt’s songwriting, resulting in what Matt calls “clear, intimate, egoless playing: every sound in support of the song.” Within this sonic framework the album works through a larger narrative process to express themes of a peaceful but foreboding calmness opening up into a focus on friendship and love. The uncomfortable themes of the first part of the record – isolation, death of a parent – are presented with generous powers of observation without succumbing to the power of their negativity. The steady, unhurried tarrying with these feelings pays off in the final part of the record, which opens up into the joyful positivity of the mutual support, the family ties, and the friendships with which we build our lives. 

Unconditional Love is written by Matt Bachmann and recorded by Matt, Keith Nelson, Brady Custis, and Kyle Boston. Engineered mostly by Keith with Brady guest engineering in some places. Derek Baron (also formerly of Mega Bog) played drums, trumpet, trombone, and signal processing in some places, and Erin Birgy sang. Matt mixed the record and James Krivchenia (of Big Thief) mastered it.
