Palto Flats @ The Lot Radio 09-20-2023

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LP version includes 12 page booklet with unpublished manuscripts, drawings, photographs, and songbooks of the songs from the album, as well as extended liner notes from friends and family of Dorothy Carter,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.

Roe Enney - Glare
Edition of 300 LP / Digital Download

Worldwide: June 2, 2017

A somnambulant journey through psychedelic bedroom fantasy-scapes, Glare is Roe Enney’s first proper LP after only a few under-the-radar cassette releases on Phaserprone, Discriminate and Piero since 2011. Recorded over the last couple years, Glare unfolds like a manifesto on the devolution of communication. An experiment of thresholds: electronic, political, poetical, Roe Enney touches on the likes of Tara Cross or Anne Clark but only briefly before hurtling into a subterranean world of closed-off obsessions.

“The electronic artist is always enmeshed in a battle of thresholds. What does one do? This is because she, the electronic spirit, is always in the process of change. This spirit is never stable, it is tenuous. It is a moving hierarchy, a royal island with a v. real topography, with its own guard, observation deck, casino. The music on this record firmly pledges allegiance to this island, and yet it is out somewhere on the shore, perhaps ‘dreaming of elsewhere.’ Yet one cannot help what one is. Perhaps the record is cast-off.”

Mastered by Sean McCann; Cut at Dubplates & Mastering, Berlin.
