Following on from the 2016 Korea Undok Group compilation LP Penultimate Press is proud to release the follow up, Senescence. Covering material recorded in the last two and a half years, this new cd comprises 50% works previously available on private tiny run cassettes and 50% works made for an abandoned lp. Abandoned being a good word to use again here as this collection of barley-there trace element songs and decaying acoustic snapshots will leave the listener with a sensation not so dissimilar to the feeling abandonment conjures.

Please note there has been zero mastering on this release as we wanted it to sound as shit as possible.

Blondes - KDM (Barker & Baumecker Remix)

"Klink! - an onomatopoetic word in Swedish that describes the sound of two metallic objects hitting each other, or the sound of a knife that strikes a glass to get the attention at a dinner party". For me, these two contexts represent very different meanings. The crash of two metallic objects is a harsh, violent noise, like the collision of two swords. This is the 'klink!' that the German industrialists Einstürzende Neubauten employed: a vicious, aggressive, mean sound. But tapping a glass at a dinner party before a speech is wholly different. It's a polite and dainty sound, made to quieten the room and calm the rabble. 

The latest compilation from Swedish imprint Stoscha falls somewhere between these two environments. Over six compiled pieces, the release manages to be both angry and accommodating. Take the opening piece from Petit Singe: a cacophonous piece that breaks and bursts like a building collapsing under its own weight. But at the same time, Stotscha do not take themselves too seriously. On 'Noordwal (lIl Lyfe)', a dance instructor guides the listener with aerobic stretches: "stomach in, buttocks tight and... breath". 

Following the release of their highly conceptual 'rip ME' project, fans of this new label will be excited to see Petit Singe and Air Max '97 joining the roster. The compilation closes with a 10-minute clip exploring the sound of sex toys vibrating against each other in the appropriately titled, 'Five Vibration Intensities and Five Vibration Rhythms Give Diverse Pleasures'. If Neubauten ever soundtracked a porno, it might sound something like that.

The full compilation is available on July 25th, but you can listen to Petit Singh's epic opener here.

From : Gabriel Saloman ‘Movement Building Vol.3’ (SP085)

Shelter Press has made good on its promise to deliver the third and final volume of its series featuring Gabriel Saloman, released both on vinyl and collected with Movement Building Vol. I (2014) and Vol. II (2015) as a double CD. For fans of Saloman’s post-Yellow Swans work – an already dense catalog of darkly cinematic compositions mostly conceived as accompaniment to some of Vancouver’s edgier contemporary dance companies, Movement Building Vol. III is not only a much anticipated conclusion to this trilogy, it is the most fully realized album in years. Where as Movement Building Vol. I & II acted primarily as documentation of time-based artworks, Movement Building Vol. III offers a more coherent and narratively rich album that will appeal to admirers of Soldier’s Requiem (Miasmah, 2013).

Listeners will recognize the emotive bowed strings, militant percussion and searing guitar eruptions that evoked memory and trauma in that previous album. Joining this pallet are other familiar Saloman sounds: shoegaze washes of distorted guitar, minimalist piano attacks, melancholic appregiated melodies, and a patina of harsh noise. Added to this is a more 21st Century approach to drums and bass, perhaps an effect of his collaborations with producer Michael Red in their dub-ambient project Chambers.

Saloman’s music has never sat comfortably in any genre, sharing with a select cohort of other artists (Stephen O’Malley, Lawrence English, Grouper, Kreng, Tim Hecker, among others) an ambiguous position between “modern classical”, “electronic music”, and the more outer limits of metal. Movement Building Vol. III doesn’t clarify as much as it expands Saloman’s oeuvre further into an idiosyncratic musical no-man’s land that fails to be faithful to any popular musical trend – contemporary, retro or futurist.

Movement Building Vol. III’s themes are taken from the dance it was composed for, 2015’s What Belongs To You, created by longtime collaborator Vanessa Goodman (Adhere, Soldier’s Requiem). That work sent its dancers through a physical journey exploring the needs of the body, for shelter, for love and for self-actualization, roughly aligned to Abraham Maslow’s “hierarchy of needs”. The resulting album seems to achingly soundtrack the struggle for survival, not simply for bare life but for something greater and more transcendent that would make survival have meaning. It holds dread and hope in equal parts, never quite giving away the end of the story. Though this record was recorded two years ago Movement Building Vol. III could be the perfect album for our current era of civilizational near-collapse, whether at the hands of maniacal politicians, the slow burn of the Anthropocene or the constant enclosure of the corporate driven, social media enabled surveillance state.

Movement Building Vol. III arrives both as a stand alone vinyl release, and as part of a collection of all three volumes packaged in one double CD. The collection of these works allows one to see clearly Saloman’s techniques and approaches to a relatively limited number of instruments – guitar, percussion, occasional piano and tape. Movement Building Vol. I is presented as one continuous piece, moving through an extended set of drone and loping drum play before climaxing in the kind of glorious guitar chording most often associated with My Bloody Valentine, GSYBE or Mono. Movement Building Vol. II explores various combinations of drum and drone, ASMR inducing high end clatter and the now infamous take on Miles Davis’ classic My Funny Valentine. 

Movement Building Vol. III is not only the final installment in Shelter Press’ series but also represents the culmination of a prolific period of creation that began with 2012’s Adhere.
