September Girls - Ships

Following on from their great EP on Woodsist and a summer of packed shows and increasing anticipation, we are very proud to bring you "Alight of Night," an album that more than delivers on the promise of their early singles. So what's it like, you ask? There is a definite flavor of Velvet Underground to be had, but Crystal Stilts' spectral avant-garage also takes in such far-flung references as: the spooked 60s Texas psych of 13th Floor Elevators and Red Crayola, the gothic blues/punk howl of Gun Club, the dark, experimental DIYism of early Flying Nun/Xpressway groups Pin Group and Plagal Grind, and a post-punk minimalism that brings to mind early Rough Trade and Factory releases. There is definitely a strong pop element as well, with the buzzsaw bubblegum of early Mary Chain b-sides and Meat Whiplash coming to mind.

These are all just rough points of reference, though -- "Alight of Night" is far more than just the sum of the bands influences. From the twang 'n' echo of "Crystal Stilts" to the primal pop stomp of "Prismatic Room" and the lovely jangle of "Shattered Shine," the band always adds something extra and unique to the mix, whether it's a fleeting dash of harmonica, a hypnotic organ line or just an amazing guitar sound. There is a unity of purpose at work here, a special mood conjured by the sounds, production and sequence of songs that lifts this album into the realm of the classics, and reveals new twists and turns on each listen.

Like all great albums, every piece just sits in exactly the right place, each song builds on the last and by the end you couldn't imagine changing anything about it at all. Eerily familiar but totally now, "Alight of Night" is a brilliantly haunting slice of rock primitivism.

לא רוצה להיות מציאותי
לא רוצה למצות את עצמי
משהו בי צורח
זמן הוא הרוצח
משהו בי צורח

אין לי מקום בעולם הזה

לא רוצה להיות מציאותי
לא רוצה לעשות אתכם גאים
ליפול מעץ גבוה
לא רוצה לשמוע
לא רוצה לנגוע

אין לי מקום בעולם הזה

"NO CONFUSION"
You wanna have a voice?  You better make a choice.
It's time you understand that this ain't nobody's end.
Tear the dividers down and open up the hand.
You try to ascertain?
I'll make it white and black so there's no confusion.

You wanna make a plea?  Then get up off you knees.
You want to make it clean?  I'll cover it with gasoline.
I've never felt that way no matter what they say.
You want infinity?  Don't complain to me.
I'll pull the stinger out and forget the bee.
Now I have to shout to get it underneath so there's no confusion.

"No Confusion" was written by Tracy Bryant & Robert Cifuentes

CORNERS - "No Confusion"

Taken from Communions new self-titled EP, out June 1st. Pre-order here - http://smarturl.it/CommunionsEP.iTunes

Press release:
Danish four-piece Communions have announced details of a new EP. Communions will be released on Tough Love Records on Monday 1st June. There will be two vinyl pressings - one on black vinyl, the other on blue available only from the Tough Love store (now sold out). 

The listing of the EP is as follows:

1. Forget it's a Dream
2. Wherever
3. Restless Hours
4. Summer's Oath
5. Out of My World

The EP is the second release on Tough Love Records, following the release of AA-side single So Long Sun/Love Stands Still at the end of 2014. The limited 7” sold-out and Pitchfork were quick to praise the A-side and hone in on their musical influences: “The song oozes effervescent warbles—from vocalist Martin Rehof, and the interplay of shimmering guitars, and lovely crescendos of reverb, reminiscent of early Stone Roses.” (Pitchfork)

Communions, made up of brothers Martin and Mads Rehof, Jacob van Deurs Formann and Frederik Lind Köppen, are fast-gaining attention for their transcendent melodies, delicate guitar lines and emotive pop songs about naivety and youth.
