p*dis sampler 2017.10

This project was something special and I loved every minute of working on it. I wanted this album to show its full potential by sequencing all of the songs together and make it sound as a whole, like a big medley. And it turned out great, as it should considering the whole album is a masterpiece.

 I even worked on the cover art a bit, found the high quality photo from the channel Stereo Music (https://www.youtube.com/c/StereoMusic...), gave it some color, added the "full dimensional sound" logo, changed the letters to spell out CHiLD, like SMiLE and I think it looks better, and also I found a back cover with the track listing and "Brians Back!" written on I'm guessing literally Brian's back. I fixed that up and added my own track listing. I don't know if it's a legit picture of Brian since it was clearly from a bootleg, but I think it looks like him and I love how it looks. It works well with the humor within Brian's work and its just perfect, Brian's front in front, his back in the back, cracks me up thinking about it.

In my mind if this was released this way, I would imagine a timeline where Mike and maybe Al would finally back off and say "Okay Brian, you can have your way with your "big band and synth mumbo jumbo" on this album. We did this to you once and look how that turned out. Let's just get it over with shall we?" (Some people just never learn do they?)

 The other thing is I would imagine the record company (I'm not sure if its Brother Records or Reprise Records so I put both of their logos on seperate sides) doubling down on the "Brians Back" campaign, putting his name on almost every song as if it would be his own record, just featuring The Beach Boys (honestly looks that way) and let Brian go all out with this album. The only request the record would make is compose a few "appropriate and marketable" tracks and add them onto the album. Because of that they would work on more tracks and release it near the end of 1978, around when M.I.U. was released or in late October. Also I would think because of the length of each side, to preserve the tracks' quality they would use extended-play LP that could go up to 26 minutes, which works just fine. 

I cleared and mixed some of the tracks to make it sound more listenable. The sequencing of the tracks worked so well that it feels like this was always meant to be this way. I made some tempo changes that worked well and some pitch shifts that sort of didn't but I made them to make the transitions sound more cohesive so, little sacrifices had to be made.

And in the end of the alternate timeline I think it would be much more divisive than Love You, some hating it while others calling it "Brian's second chance at his magnum opus" and I think he sure nailed it. The first side of the album sounds more like Brian's "all out quirky and weird" tracks that sound amazing, and the second side being a more commercial side with more tracks about love and such [don't mind Hey Little Tomboy there ;)] and that side sounds amazing as well. And I added some vinyl crackling sounds to give it that "long lost album" vibes and I guess that could throw off some people but don't worry, I'm going to share a file with the sides without the cracking sounds and maybe with the cover arts after the premiere.

Adult/CHiLD

The Beach Boys - Adult/CHiLD: The Other Lost Masterpiece [1978 FULL ALBUM LP MIX]

The definitive, authorized, and first-ever biography of Terry Allen, the internationally acclaimed visual artist and iconoclastic songwriter who occupies an utterly unique position straddling the disparate, and usually distant, worlds of conceptual art and country music.    “People tell me it’s country music,” Terry Allen has joked, “and I ask, ‘Which country?’” For nearly sixty years, Allen’s inimitable art has explored the borderlands of memory, crossing boundaries between disciplines and audiences by conjuring indelible stories out of the howling West Texas wind.
 
In Truckload of Art, author Brendan Greaves exhaustively traces the influences that shaped Allen’s extraordinary life, from his childhood in Lubbock, Texas, spent ringside and sidestage at the wrestling matches and concerts his father promoted, to his formative art-school years in incendiary 1960s Los Angeles, and through subsequent decades doggedly pursuing his uncompromising artistic vision. With humor and critical acumen, Greaves deftly recounts how Allen built a career and cult following with pioneering independent records like Lubbock (on everything) (1979)—widely considered an archetype of alternative country—and multiyear, multimedia bodies of richly narrative, interconnected art and theatrical works, including JUAREZ (ongoing since 1968), hailed as among the most significant statements in the history of American vernacular music and conceptual art.
 
Drawing on hundreds of revealing interviews with Allen himself, his family members, and his many notable friends, colleagues, and collaborators—from musicians like David Byrne and Kurt Vile to artists such as Bruce Nauman and Kiki Smith—and informed by unprecedented access to the artist’s home, studio, journals, and archives, Greaves offers a poetic, deeply personal portrait of arguably the most singularly multivalent storyteller of the American West.

Joey Agresta is a former north New Jerseyan who now lives with his wife and cat above a Burlington Vermont junk shop (where he also works). Let's Not Talk About Music was created over the course of three years with Agresta arranging, performing, recording, and mixing it in the cozy confines of his bedroom studio. Though many devices were used in the recording of this album computers were completely avoided and the majority was done on the Akia MG-614 (1/8" cassette 4 track) and MG- 1214 (1/2" cassette 12 track).
Appreciators of the New England underground might know Joey from his days of recording bizarre songs on erase headless, multi layering, portable tape recorders under various, food themed, pseudonyms (Joey Pizza Slice, Son of Salami, Salami Junior, ect..) and his releases on the venerable Night People and Feeding Tube labels (as well as countless self released and custom, one-off cassettes). Agresta's songs have also been admired by some very above-ground acts over the years, among them Future Islands and The Parquet Courts -- the later split a 7" with Agresta in 2015.
Contained here are songs of a hopeful sadness that mirror the darkness of these times and the decaying heart of the songsmith. This is Agresta's most personal and sincere work thus far, sounding much more sonically refined than his grittier past exploits. But in a world filled with so much talk perhaps its best we say no more, as the title suggests, and let the music speak for itself.

Gun Outfit's “Out of Range" is out November 10, 2017 on Paradise of Bachelors.
Buy from label: http://www.paradiseofbachelors.com/shop/pob-036
Other online options (physical/download/streaming): https://lnk.to/PoB36

Like a stone eroded by years in the arroyo, Gun Outfit’s enveloping “Western expanse” aesthetic of guitar levitations and honky-tonk hexes has become insidiously smoother over time. Their fifth LP ranks as their most brutally beautiful statement yet. Drawing from mythologies both Classical and postmodern, Out of Range builds a world in which Brueghel the Elder, St. Augustine, and the ancient goddess Cybele ride with John Ford, Samuel Beckett, and Wallace Stevens on a Orphic-Gnostic suicide drive towards the hallucinatory vanishing points of the Southwestern desert, debating the denouement of the decaying American dream.

Dreamers wielding slide guitars. A tradition-warping band, with a punk aesthetic deep at the center and double-guitar desert-rock psychedelia at the surface. ¬– The New York Times

With its echoing grooves, drifting landscapes, and new textures—bits of bluegrass banjo, homemade electric sitars—it has the blue-sky sensibility of a soul-searching road trip. You want to get lost inside of it, to turn it up on a road trip that lasts for weeks. – Pitchfork

Peyote for the ears... Expansive, arid, and dusty. – Uncut

Brendan Greaves of Paradise Of Bachelors - Ep. 5

Pre-order 'Blurred' on LP/DL: http://phonofile.link/blurred

Kiasmos mark their return in 2017 with a new 12” EP titled Blurred — available worldwide on October 6th via Erased Tapes.

Since their 2015 Swept EP, the duo have been performing shows extensively across the world. After writing and recording together in their native Iceland this year, the pair will be bringing a glimpse of light to a particularly gloomy time of year as their light sounds are brighter than ever.

Words from Ólafur and Janus, August 2017: 
￼ 
￼￼“To write new material felt like a new beginning for us after two years of touring. The plan was to ￼write something a tad darker than our previous stuff. Spring in Reykjavík had other plans though, as this turned out to be our brightest release to date.” — Janus Rasmussen

￼“Stimming was one of the reasons we started making four-on-the-floor music and we have been listening to Bonobo since we were young, so it was a great honour that they wanted to contribute remixes for the EP.” — Ólafur Arnalds

￼The EP closes with remixes from British producer Bonobo and German electronic musician Stimming, taking tracks Blurred and Paused into different coloured realms.

The cover art featuring the iconic Kiasmos symbol is by long-time Erased Tapes collaborator Torsten Posselt at FELD.

Jake Xerxes Fussell
Out of Sight
LP/CD/Digital
PoB-042
June 7, 2019

On his third and most finely wrought album yet, guitarist, singer, and master interpreter Fussell is joined for the first time by a full band featuring Nathan Bowles (drums), Casey Toll (bass), Nathan Golub (pedal steel), Libby Rodenbough (violin, vocals), and James Anthony Wallace (piano, organ). An utterly transporting selection of traditional narrative folksongs addressing the troubles and delights of love, work, and wine (i.e., the things that matter), collected from a myriad of obscure sources and deftly metamorphosed, Out of Sight contains, among other moving curiosities, a fishmonger’s cry that sounds like an astral lament (“The River St. Johns”); a cotton mill tune that humorously explores the unknown terrain of death and memory (“Winnsboro Cotton Mill Blues”); and a fishermen’s shanty/gospel song equally concerned with terrestrial boozing and heavenly transcendence (“Drinking of the Wine”).

“In our house we’ve listened to more Jake Fussell than any other individual artist over the past year. Jake lives in music as a true time-artist, using the qualities of time itself as irreplaceable elements of content. As long as Jake Fussell is making records and playing shows, there is ample cause for optimism in this world.” – Bonnie “Prince” Billy

"Jake Xerxes Fussell is a national treasure.” – Aquarium Drunkard

“His burly, winking voice is made for storytelling.” – NPR

“Achingly beautiful. He has an uncanny ability to illuminate the present by propping up a window against the past.” – Uncut

“Jake understands that old songs weren’t always old. On his third album, he’s subtly shading his music with more instruments. It’s still uncluttered. Still melancholy. Still threaded through with that elegant, deceptively simple guitar—its tone like no other. This is a journey you need to share.” – Colin Escott, author of Hank Williams: The Biography

http://lnk.to/PoB55

Iconic and iconoclastic Texan songwriter and visual artist Terry Allen’s heartbreaking, hilarious new album, his first set of new songs since 2013’s Bottom of the World, features the full Panhandle Mystery Band, including co-producer Charlie Sexton (Dylan, Bowie, Blaze), Shannon McNally, and Jo Harvey Allen; mainstays Bukka Allen, Richard Bowden, and Lloyd Maines; and co-writes with Joe Ely and Dave Alvin. The connections to Melville’s masterpiece are metaphorical and allusive, as elusive as the White Whale. The masterly spiritual successor to Lubbock (on everything), Just Like Moby Dick casts its net wide for wild stories, depicting, among other monstrous things, Houdini in existential crisis, the death of the last stripper in town, bloodthirsty pirates (in a pseudo-sequel to Brecht and Weill’s “Pirate Jenny”), the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan (in the “American Childhood” suite), a vampire-infested circus, mudslides and burning mobile homes, and all manner of tragicomic disasters, abandonments, betrayals, bad memories, failures, and fare-thee-wells. 

The deluxe tip-on gatefold 2×LP package features lyrics, color labels, high-res Bandcamp download code, three sides of music, and a fourth side vinyl etching artwork by Allen.

Allen’s songs extract strangeness from the known world & use it as a means of acquiring greater knowledge ... which is as good definition of wisdom as any. – The New Yorker

He’s pretty close to a master lyricist. – The New York Times

Riveting. – NPR

Stunning. – Pitchfork

Aural brilliance. – The Wire

Uniformly eccentric & uncompromising, savage & beautiful, literate & guttural. – Rolling Stone 

Allen carries the dust of West Texas in his throat, with a voice like a coyote’s yip & a twang like wind-thrummed barbed wire. – Bandcamp Daily

There may be no greater maverick in all of country music. – AllMusic

A true legend & a hero. I love Terry’s music so much. – Kurt Vile
