The music of L.A.-based guitarist, singer, and songwriter Kayla Cohen is mutable and multivalent, richly allusive of the hermetic worlds of private-press canyon-cult mystics and East Coast noiseniks alike. Her adept fingerstyle guitar work—nimble but unshowy, always at the service of framing her plaintively unspooling modal progressions and gorgeous, moonlit voice—centers these melancholy pastorales in a hazy, heat-mirage space equally suggestive of familiarity and distance, community and anomie. Itasca’s enchanting, acid folk-inflected PoB debut is also the first to feature a full band.

This feeling that we, as listeners, have been granted access into Itasca’s private inner sanctum is what helps give [Cohen’s music] its quiet gravity, and her ample instrumental skills and deft songcraft make this invitation well worth your while. 
– Pitchfork

The image of the solitary songwriter strumming away and singing promises transparency, but a chief virtue of Itasca is that she doesn’t give up her secrets too easily. 
– The Wire

Gorgeous acid folk reverie … a heady slice of lysergic ladies of the canyon, with the feel of tropical microdots.
– David Keenan

Jennifer Castle
Camelot
PoB-078
LP/CD/Digital
November 1, 2024

Camelot, Jennifer Castle’s extraordinary, moving chronicle of the artist in early middle age, charts a realer place than the legendary Camelot of the British Early Middle Ages, but it too is a space more psychic than physical. In Castle’s Camelot, the fantastic interpenetrates the mundane, and the Grail, if there is one, distills everyday experience into art and art into faith, subliming terrestrial concerns into sublime celestial prayers to Mother Nature, and to the unfolding process of perfecting imperfection in one’s own nature: “Back in Camelot / I really learned a lot / circles in the crops and / sky-high geometry …” (Includes poster with lyrics.)

“Castle’s songs are vibrant and bountiful landscapes, and even in their quietest, darkest moments, they thrum and glow. [She] has a stunning capacity for crafting lines rich with nuance, humor and devastating beauty.” – CBC

“Castle channels the lunar radiance of Emmylou Harris and the heartfelt barroom blues of Jimmie Dale Gilmore, quietly gleaming with a rustic beauty and a deep, patient understanding of the mystic.” – Aquarium Drunkard

ALBUM ABSTRACT

The second solo record by Mike Polizze of Philadelphia psych-squallers Purling Hiss and Birds of Maya, a rainier and more pensive affair than its predecessor—despite its playful humor and plentiful hooks—affirms his status as a consummate (and now not-so-secret) craftsman of instantly memorable bucolic odes of languid beauty, deepening his fingerstyle acoustic guitar magic and finally manifesting the title of the classic Hiss anthem “Run from the City.”

He’s uncovered a rich seam of songwriting, classic-sounding yet modern, unquestionably nostalgic in temperament but undeniably vital ... Even when he’s at his most melancholy and hangdog, the songs themselves gleam like diamonds. – Uncut

The sound of the record approaches bliss: the sonic equivalent of a beer on the beach at sunset. It flows like a well-conceived song cycle and moves gracefully from one thought to the next. – Pitchfork

Exquisitely beautiful … It has the wondrous, enveloping quality of a daydream. – American Songwriter

I love this music so much ... So many of these songs give me chills. – Kurt Vile

Improvs 1

I'm gonna steal some bedsheets
From an amputee
I'm gonna mount em on a canvas
In the middle of the gallery
I'm gonna tell everybody it was painted by a chimpanzee
But just between you me
Here at the cultural low water mark
If it's fraud or art
They'll pay you to believe

I'm gonna take five young dudes
From white families
Gonna mount em on a billboard
In the middle of the country
I'm gonna tell everybody they sing like angels with whiter teeth
But just between you and me
They're just like the ones before
With their standards lower
Every concert goer will pay you to believe

Caffeine in the morning, alcohol at night
Cameras to record you and mirrors to recognize
And as the world is getting smaller
Small things take up all your time
Narcissus would have had a field day if he could have got online
And friends it's not self-love that kills you
It's when those who hate you are allowed
To sell you that you're a glorious shit the entire world revolves around
And that you're the eater, and not the eaten
But that your hunger will only cease
If you come binge on radiant blandness at the disposable feast

Just quickly how would you rate yourself
In terms of sex appeal and cultural significance 
Do you usually listen to music like this
We can recommend some similar artists
Are you feeling depressed?
But your feedback's important
To us

Gonna buy myself a sports team
And put em in a pit
Gonna wage the old crusade
Against consciousness
All I need is a couple winners to get every loser to fight in it
You keep the golden calf
I just need the bullshit
They won't just sell themselves into slavery
They'll get on their knees and pay you to believe

Remixes are by Trevor Jackson’s Playgroup and Mustapha 3000 (Erol Alkan).

The Album contains 11 tracks with influences from new wave, post punk, early house and electronica. The first track on the album features vocals with Anthony Roman from Radio 4. The Band was strongly inspired by the early NY underground and Post-Punk sounds. Track number 2 Roh was with vocals by Stephen Dewaele, the backing track is like a proto-house track with dummachines and synths. Next is On and On with Tara from It Rough fame. So Now! was an instrumental version that was first released together with So Then! on 12“ Vinyl. Robi added vocals himself for Do You Feel. Moisture wich was featured in the coming out scene in Laurnce Anyways Movie is next with Vocals by Luca Santucci. Freedom Drums was another Headman Instrumental. Matties Safer from The Rapture contributed on Balearica and next up is Upstart. Track No 10 is a cover by the NYC underground band Marilyn and the Moviestars which Robi was always a big fan of.The reprise was with vocals by Ed Laliq and the Bonus track came out of an London afternoon session and ended with vocals by Ben Rymer and Erol added some backings too.

The Bonus tracks are Remixes and version that came out on 12“ and other formats.
So Then! was the B side of So Now!. Then comes Rong Hands Dub. Trevor Jackson remixed Roh as Playgroup. One versions with Vocals by Stephen Dewaele and one as a Love Dub. Erol’s Mustapha 3000 version of Moisture is next! Robi Did a Club version which was used in Xavier Dolans movie and he also did a Dub of Moisture. The last Bonus versions are edits and the last track is Deah that was only released on Vinyl and on a very limited edit 12“ on Relish.
