Minutes Of Sleep

Francis Harris "You Can Always Leave" [clip]

Typically releases from black light smoke are scant affairs reserved for the ardent vinyl enthusiasts who covet the Brooklyn producers unique aesthetic, a blend of analog house, new wave anthems and gritty punk rock.They arrive with little forewarning on the shelves of bespoke underground music purveyors and disappear just as quickly, leaving only his in demand live sets as trace evidence of a body of work that far exceeds his relatively scant discography. Truth be told, the Scissor and Thread mainstay is a prolific lifelong musician, singer and multi-instrumentalist whose work under various aliases spans and often breaches multiple genres. Here, on his first S&T offering solely for the digital domain, black light smoke let's slip two of the exclusive dance pop remixes he has done for his label mates Gry and Lisa B. "Lonely Lover" and "Lower" respectively, have been explosive highlights of his performances for two years now, over which time demand for these instantly infectious party bombs has reached fever pitch.

SAT011 Gry "Lonely Lover" (black light smoke Remix) [clip]

Black Light Smoke lends this remix a wounded, uncertain beauty. Leah Lazonick's voice feels distant and fragile, floating through a veil of distorted percussion and analog gravel. It seems to be a piece of music that breathes on its own. First loose then dense and full of unresolved feelings.  Glory Club is a collaborative project tied to Jordan Lieb, featuring moody, vocal-led productions with artists like Léah Lazonick. The remixer Black Light Smoke is Jordan Lieb’s solo alias, known for a gritty, analog approach to electronic music.

Released in 2014, it still seems like a strange dream that you can't quite place. It's a rare kind of remix that unfolds a lot. A natural pick for our Classic of the week selection.

It's crazy, but lately
I don't know where my faith is
is my soul for the taking? where's my saviour? (oh no)
I try, I try, I try
lord knows, I try
Is my soul for the taking? I don't know (no no no. no)

fuck it 
fuck it
fuck it

I'm on this lonely road
no I ain't got nowhere to go
no I can't do this on my own no, no no, no no no
so hold me, closer
hold me, (closely)

I don't want this pain
going on in my brain
am I going insane?
who should I trust? 
is this lust? is this love?
do you listen when I'm on my knees?

It's crazy, but lately
I don't know where my faith is, no
is my soul for the taking? where's my saviour? (oh no no)
I try, I try, I try
lord knows, I try
Is my soul for the taking? I don't know (no no no. no)

I don't know...
