The first ever reissue of Dorothy Carter's 1978 folk/psych/drone masterpiece.  A truly unique album in Dorothy's catalog of otherwise traditional folk music, Waillee Waillee's essence sits in the confluence of Dorothy's mastery of the dulcimer; its shimmering notes fully enmeshed with the tremulous, cavernous drones of Bob Rutman's bowed steel cello. The core of this album, Dorothy's only with a full band, lies in the contradiction of traditional psych-folk idioms and the minimal avant-garde, referencing Laraaji and Henry Flynt as much as Karen Dalton. 

LP version includes 12 page booklet with unpublished manuscripts, drawings, photographs, and songbooks of the songs from the album, as well as extended liner notes from friends and family of Dorothy Carter, including notable musicians such as Laraaji, Bob Rutman, and Alexander Hacke (of Einstürzende Neubauten).

Remastered by Jeff Lipton of Peerless Mastering from long-lost master tapes found in Bob Rutman's storage space in Berlin. Vinyl release is packaged with a booklet, and housed in a beautiful silver tip-on jacket.

Byron Westbrook - Precipice
Edition of 300 LP / Digital Download

Worldwide: October 2nd, 2015

Precipice is Byron Westbrook’s first long playing record under his given name. Operating under the handle Corridors for many years, Byron has established a reputation for creating immersive multi-channel, site specific live experiences using sound, image and light. Precipice expounds upon these ideas as a collection of approaches to texture, landscape, perception of time, and the potential for sound to generate visual space. Like climbing a column which inexplicably leads to a plateau of glass, the topography above and below visible in crystal clear relief.
