Young Again

GENTS - Young Again

Jack Cutter is a songwriter and guitarist based in the San Francisco Bay Area in California. He started with a $5 banjo just after finishing high school. In University, during the late 60’s, he performed with bar bands in Buffalo, New York. After completing University and a year as an Aerospace Engineer, he decided that attack helicopters were not really what the world needed and so he headed off to California in pursuit of music and mystic times.

Fast forward to Fall 2014: Jack is playing his quintessential tune, ‘Gift of Our Fathers’ in the SF BART subway to an onslaught of morning commuters when he was spotted by 40 Thieves. Eureka! Love at first sight and in the next few months, two of Jack’s original acoustic pieces were given the 40 Thieves treatment.

Enter David Sanderson aka David Harks, a singer, songwriter, producer and label curator from the East Sussex region of the UK. “Having fallen in love with the cosmic boogie (of 40 Thieves classic ‘Backward Love’) I really felt I would love nothing more than to write a tune with them. Layne got back in touch with a track he was working on entitled Serpent Strut with Jack Cutter and we worked via email over a few months to brew up that misty soul.”

Deep, stony, psychedelic, drawing from the well of Hawkwind, Joni Mitchell, David Crosby, Baffo Banfi and Tolkien-tinged acoustic Led Zep, the proof of concept is now complete and in the capable and loving hands of Claremont 56.

Spring is in the air and with it comes fresh collaborations in the form of the album ‘Industrie & Zärtlichkeit’ (which translates into “Industry & Tenderness“) by Berlin-based duo, Moon. Consisting of @JohannesAlbert and Johannes Paluka (@IronCurtis), it’s a splicing of styles that takes the listener through journeys of ambient, funk, electro, deep house and beyond. Released through Mr. Albert’s own imprint Frank Music, this double 12” is an ambitious collection of tracks, debuting on the heels of a few EPs teased out over the past couple years.

This week, we present ‘Proto’, a stand out, groovy theme song to the record. Coming in hot from the beginning, the track opens up with an 808 electro funk-fueled two-step kick complete with forward driving closed hats and snappy claps. As the track progresses, brooding organ chords lay a haunting foundation for a delightfully detuned melody, weaving in and out of the forefront. The poly-rhythmic feel to the song is perfect for early exercises in getting the listener (or dancer) loose and limber for faster excursions ahead.

Altogether, in ‘Industrie & Zärtlichkeit,’ Albert and Paluka go in wholeheartedly, wearing their influences on their sleeves. Whether it’s Kraftwerk or Bambaataa, they’ve teased out these retro elements and classic sounds, melding them with new techniques, creating club-ready tunes for the present-day dance floor. All in all, an exciting new partnership between these German producers has led to refreshing new material, just in time for warmer climes.

PRÈMIÉRE: Tolouse Low Trax - Second Trip (Serial Experiments Edit) [ICI]

AFFKT - Once Upon A Time (John Talabot summer mix)

Knotpop is a revelatory lost album of deviant new wave from San Fransisco duo Ixna. Like Brian Eno and The Flying Lizards, the album is a sideways and inverted take on pop music. Jay Cloidt and Marina La Palma were students of David Behrman and Robert Ashley at Mills College, inspired by their infamously irreverent faculty to nudge the avant-garde out of its stuffy tweed and into something more exciting, something clad in denim & leather. Recorded at the Center For Contemporary Music at Mills in 1981, the album combines Cloidt's studio wizardry, sampling abilities and vibrant bass with La Palma’s expressive vocals, and love of made-up and invented languages (Esperanto). Ixna only released one 7" during that time, featuring two songs from this unrealized album, which became sought after over the decades. The discovery of Knotpop will feel like manna from heaven for previous fans, and a welcome addition to the cannon of avant-inverted-pop ur-classics by Suicide, impLOG, Naffi, General Strike, Thick Pigeon and UnknownMix. Concentric Circles is honoured to present Knotpop to the world for the first time. Mastered from the original reels, DMM pressing. 

Release date April 12th
