Le Révélateur - Extreme Events
Edition of 300 LP Digital Download

WO Release Date: August 22, 2014 
US Release Date: September 2, 2014

Five years after founding Le Révélateur, Montreal-bred musician Roger Tellier-Craig returns to Root Strata with Extreme Events, a collection of dense sonic studies that betray a futuristic and timeless beauty. Alongside collaborator Sabrina Ratté, who creates the project’s videos and live visuals, Le Révélateur operates at the ideological intersection of audio and visual, analog and digital, nostalgic and anticipatory, human and machine. Extreme Events is characterized by complex rhythmic asymmetry and twinkling aesthetic resonance – ultimately a prescient re-vision of hypothetical cyberpunk futures realized in the desert of digital decay and burgeoning artificial ecologies.

Cut and mastered by Helmut Erler at D&M, Berlin. Distributed by Morr Music.

NYC label Palto Flats focuses on a carefully selected program of reissues and new material, bringing attention to the intersection of pop, electronic, experimental and world music. The label’s intent is to work with artists on music that is both accessible and idiomatic, bringing these constructive contrasts to light. This show is an exploration of those forms, and will periodically feature guest selectors from diverse musical backgrounds.

Kagami - Kagami
Edition of 300 LP / Digital Download
Worldwide: May 11, 2018

Kagami is the duo of Jared Blum (Vision Heat, Gigante Sound) and Maxwell August Croy (En, Root Strata, Empire of Signs). Their eponymous debut, recorded between 2014 and 2017, finds the pair navigating a bracingly wide range of niches with aplomb and precision. Evoking summertime ambience, widescreen electronics, anthemic pop instrumentals and windswept romantic gestures, Kagami is a charming and dramatic record that at times recalls the soundtrack to some lost title from Nintendo’s golden age or perhaps a spiritual successor to the miniatures of Yasuaki Shimizu’s Music for Commercials.

Featuring Jonathan Sielaff of Golden Retriever on bass clarinet and Adam Hill on double bass. Original cover art by Brenna Murphy, layout by Konrad Jandavs.

Mastered by Helmut Erler; Cut at Dubplates & Mastering, Berlin.
