TRAX001

It’s safe to say that Steven Legget has been somewhat measured in his approach to releasing music. The Newcastle native was behind the Four Hands moniker, with releases alongside iconic industrial figures Zoviet France on Signals From The North and the classic ‘Hizou’ on Claremont 56 back at the turn of the decade.
 
Now, this Firecracker Recordings release highlights a fully realised body of work, only hinted at by the aforementioned projects. Starting life as a performance in Turkish Baths located in Newcastle upon Tyne’s City Pool, one of the last remaining civil saunas in the country, Legget has created a textured, melodic and immersive eulogy to the woozy, slow motion, drug free endorphin rush of the bath house. Pieces from this performance, alongside field recordings collected on the islands of Paxos and Loutro, South Crete are reimagined as a luscious ambient music. Accompanied by cello and electronics with real attention paid to musicality, vast and gaseous cinematic compositions are submerged beneath waves and drenched in steam and condensation.

All tracks produced by Steven Legget. Field recordings collected on the island of Paxos, and Loutro (Crete).
Tracks 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 co-written by Laura Reid.
Tracks 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 cello performed by Laura Reid.
Track 7 co-written/produced and performed with Suade Bergemann (Sine Bass) and Mark Hand (Fender Rhodes Stage 88 Piano and Jen SX1000 synthesiser).

LP Mastered by Suade and Cut by Keith.

FIREC024LP Steven Legget - Bathhouse

the space between here and there, no-place in no-seconds, a wreck safe-crashing into a new beginning where time stares itself into a comforting void...for God so loved the earth that he chose not to save the world.

Scary Building

You don't speak to me
Even called you when I was lonely
You said you'd be there
Walked for miles tried to forget

I feel far away from everything
I feel far away from everyone

You don't speak to me
Even called you when I was lonely
You said you'd be there
Walked for miles tried to forget

You said you'd be there

David Goldberg - EMO Serialism
Catalogue Number: Molten 5

A2: BaseElmnt64
B1: Konradichtion 101

Out June 11 on 12" vinyl and wav
Vinyl: www.moltenmoods.de
Digital: https://moltenmoods.bandcamp.com/album/emo-serialism

Enter the winking ship and go on a journey through the half-human-half-hyper-reality of David Goldberg. EMO Serialism is a sparkling macrocosm of breakbeat wizardry, technoid trance, robo emotion and versicolour ornamentation. The eponymous first track with its safe ground baseline is the cotton wool of the EP, the galaxy's aether and the joyful opening ceremony of this planetary feast. BaseElmnt64 rings out! The stars align and the tournament begins. Lightyears later, hobbling yet graceful Konradichtion 101 is the daring darling of the public, thus emerges victoriously. And the moral of this story is made for / left for blank.

‘For us there can be no talk of balance or great art. The idea of the beautiful has long gone to roost. Only the moral idea remains incontestable - for example the knowledge that one cannot be French ambassador and a poet at the same time.’

in stores end of June

pre-order https://magicwire.bandcamp.com/album/magic-arp

Dawn dissevers the earth and skies, 
Dragonflies twirl into the light of the sun’s world; 
No vapour dims the air, 
twinkling lightness buoys the eyes,
During the night; I can see leaves flying on the tree branch and settle like tiny butterflies.

EP 1

Ciel

Wrote my own lyrics and sang myself for the first time ever

I know a boy, 
He’s got a name she’d tease
I know a boy,
He’s never quite at ease
I know a boy
He never seems to smile
I know a boy 
And I know because he’s me

If only she knew him
As the boy not full of woe
If only she knew him
For his face that used to glow
If only she knew him
I’d show her if I could
He’s so sweet
But I don’t think she’ll ever know

I know a girl,
She knows he’s lost his way
I know a girl
She’ll always make his day
I know a girl
She’ll never break his heart
I know a girl
I know she’s all he wants

If only he knew why
they’ll always be apart
And only he knew why
he could never have her heart 
If only he knew why
She’d tell him if she could 
He’s so sweet 
but he'll never be the one

he's so sweet but...

Dreamscape:

The fog, snow, streets … everything had only altered slightly from my memory yet I perceived this world as one that might be a couple years, or even a few centuries, into the future. I was amongst a group of futuristically dressed children, school dropouts turned street dwellers, who had just run away from their homes, and I seemed to be one of them, wearing dark sailor clothes, with black hair just past my shoulders.

We had been hiding for quite a while in the white stairwell of a newly built building, uninhabited since its completion. The children set up a den in the stairwell, equipped with a TV and video games. I had somehow become their leader, directing the others where to safely spend their nights. These children were not afraid of the darkness in this world.

One young girl even managed to communicate with rabbits living in the snow. She often hid in a corner of the stairwell, listening to an old yellow cassette player. The girl believed the sound she heard was a gift from the ancestors – music had vanished in this world, you see. She would listen to recorded lectures and pray in the temple left by her predecessors.

Eventually the hideout was discovered by the building’s construction workers when the children were returning from their scavenging mission, so we were forced to leave and seek new shelter. Once again we retreated along the bustling streets, where neon lights were beaming everywhere, and creeping smog rendered peoples’ faces lost and helpless. Elder street vendors were selling every last bit of their wares, hawking outmoded objects of their forefathers. Finally we arranged some cardboard boxes in an alley, just for one night’s sojourn. We knew it was still a long road ahead. That night felt like a year.

Another morning we were driven out from previous night’s hideout, as we had become accustomed to, and while out scouring the streets for food the girl stumbled upon a forgotten temple. A dense fog hovered in the air, as if the place was high up in the clouds. The temple was too crammed with dark painted bronze figures of canine deities for her to even find a way in. She sensed from these figures, a time of strife and warfare harkening back thousands of years, a time when mankind destroyed the earthly body of Buddha and the Gods. These sacred bodies had subsequently been sold and dispersed throughout the world for thousands of years. This temple had become the haven for these anthropomorphized animal figures since then.

Realizing she had in fact lost consciousness, the girl awoke to find the temple floating among the clouds, an island in the sky. Only then did it dawn upon her that humanity will inevitably return to its primal state among the ancient forests, and that the temple suspended in the heavens contained the ghosts of humanity.

"What works reliably is to know the raw silk, hold the uncut wood. Need little. Want less. Forget the rules. Be untroubled."

Laurel Halo presents six instrumental pieces that form a meditative, cinematic listening experience. Inspired by recent film score work for Metahaven and Ursula Le Guin's translation of the 'Tao Te Ching'. Featuring cello work by Oliver Coates and percussion by Eli Keszler.

Working in abstraction leads to a deeper longing for touch and closeness. The tactile sensation of struck organ keys and bowed strings, wood and felt on drum heads. Smoke and dirt and stone. Febrile and tactile, hairy and hissy. A clover of highway onramps, a continuous flow, like old leaves melting on their way down a stream at the back of a house. Constant contradiction, the truth's nowhere.

The 12th release on Good Morning comes from dear NYC friends Georgia - the avant-garde duo consisting of Brian Close & Justin Tripp.

The two are masters at channeling & communicating immediate energy through audio, imagery or film, and here they continue en route, with each of them delivering 50 minutes of brain dancing original music.

The duo's productions feel like an alien code of language that communicates with some un/seen world of energy - that which surrounds us daily, but only few try to explore. Imagine some kind of plant satellite - beaming live information back & fourth between worlds.

Or to quote directly....
“Approached as an antidote to a specific patterned brain as a navigational map of energy streams possibly oscillating the brain between control and release and whatever else shows up....summoning nature’s trance actualities....quiet is the base - re arrange is the place,
flow is the place! BASSE BASSE !"

Available now via the Good Morning online store, with tapes & tee's shipping late June.
