Shoegazing postkraut meanderings from
 - Parastatic - Newcastle, UK.

Recall Fade Return, the band's second album, out NOW.

“Parastatic infuse their spirit of experimentation with an irresistible sense of directness…” 7/10
Drowned in Sound

“Total obliteration of the senses guaranteed.”
NME

“‘Recall Fade Return’ is a damn fine album, an album of diverse colour and texture, skilfully woven into a warm expansive soundscape.”
Louder than War

“Epic…A strange hybrid of Spiritualized, prog and New Order.”
Steve Lamacq, 6 Music

“Recall Fade Return is one of those game changing albums… a moment in a band’s career when they hit upon a sound so good that it would be foolish not to run and run with it. It is an album that from the off just oozes with confidence and grace and not a moment goes by when you aren’t thrilled by something new.”
Echoes and Dust

“Excellent stuff.”
Lauren Laverne, 6 Music

“the musical equivalent to opening a door and stumbling into a confusing and dreamy alien landscape.”
NE:MM

“Recall Fade Return is great of example of sonic motility and mobility. The nu-Kraut revival continues.”
Both Bars On

“The ten track album executes a flawless dance of loop and layer …” 8/10
Shout4Music

“like bathing in liquid sunshine; a post-rocking delight seeking out nirvana among the heavens and damn well finding it.”
The Crack

Formed in a dank basement in Newcastle at the end of 2011, parastatic was the coming together of long time collaborators Neil Caffery and Jon Garrard with electronica maestro Rich Telford.  The combination of their various musical heritage resulted in their debut album in 2012 Lost Highway, which nodded towards krautrock and early 80′s synth-pop and drew critical praise in the UK and beyond with Mark Radcliffe proclaiming them “Prog on the Tyne”.

The band toured the album until mid 2013 when Rich left the group to devote more time to his new-born.  Neil took on synth duties and the band fortuitously recruited multi-instrumentalist Rachel Casey on live drums – taking the band’s sound into a more direct, propulsive dimension.

2014 saw parastatic complete their second full length – Recall Fade Return, due to be released on March 9th 2015 on 104 Records.  This record is less indebted to straight up krautrock and hints at more complex influences locating the band on an oscillating line between kosmische, shoegaze and post-rock.

Over the last couple of years parastatic have played across the UK alongside some of their favourite artists – Damo Suzuki, Moon Duo, Warm Digits, Eat Lights;Become Lights, The Early Years, Baltic Fleet and many more.


The forthcoming album ‘Recall / Fade / Return’ looks likely to build on the critical acclaim received for the band’s debut record – ‘Lost Highway’.

‘You can very easily find yourself lost in its spacey groove’  Drowned in Sound

‘’GlaxoChem’, the kind of space-drone that Jason Pierce was messing around with in the early 90s, with a repetitive guitar loop that recalls ‘Electric Mainline’. Soon to be joined by another insistent beat, it quickly resembles the type of sonic textures Neu! were exploring twenty years previously and it works fabulously.”  Sound of Confusion

 

“The kind of propulsive, joyous, trancelike music that bundles up the likes of Neu! The Orb and Spiritualized into one pulsating whole…a cloud-scraping slab of motorik bliss which feels like the band have managed to bottle the essence of the sun coming up in the morning.”  The Crack

“With pulsating bass lines and sweeping synthesiser melodies throughout this LP is a revelation in looping, much like Tall Ship’s debut ‘Everything Touching’, this album is a definite testament to the fact that it does not take structural complexity and mind-numbingly deep lyrics to create a perfect song.” Shout4music

 

‘Each track is hypnotic.. You can’t help but be lulled into some kind of musical trance’ Narc




The Story of The Glitch Carolers

How, what, when, why, and where are the Glitch Carolers?

Well The Glitch Carolers are a side project from Precise and Thesis from Night Ship. For unknown reasons last year we recorded us singing some Christmas Carols. The intent I believe was to simply post them up and spread some Christmas cheer. One way or another the file ended up in Sound Forge, I think we simply were going to make it louder....then a strange thing happened. We took some effects and techniques and started to alter the carol into a terrible, glitched, mangled, effected, distorted, and straight up awful tune. We made a few more and posted the best one (Holiday Mash Up) up on our local msg board, 404 Audio. Most people thought it was 2 things, Funny and Terrible.

Christmas 2006 came and went. When the calendar approached thanksgiving this year, we thought we would give another shot at "Holiday Mash Up 2". Well Precise came up with that name "The Glitch Carolers" and we have been working since the day after thanksgiving on this project. I now know why people like to have side projects. To us it gives us a chance to break the normal routine of tracking. We make drum and bass under Night Ship with our buddy, Funnetik. Under that environment it is all working on drums and such, having to configure to the standards of dj friendly tunes. In glitchland we can make "madness" and can be anything.

Speaking of Funnetik, he does not support the Glitch Carolers in any way. He did say that he might record a tune for us to glitch. We will wait and see.

The Glitch Carolers can only work from the day after thanksgiving to Christmas eve. We will shut down the shop during the remainder. Whilst in the shop we use an number of VST plugins that can do anything from super pitched down demon-type vocals to chipmunk high pitched squeals. Hope you enjoyed this story of the Glitch Carolers. I cant believe I wasted my entire lunch break writing this terrible blog

Joey Encarnacion aka Tre Flowz was born in the Bronx, New York, but family moved to a small town of Howell, New Jersey when he was still young. Tre took to Hip Hop music very early as his older brother (MyZery) was his biggest influence. Speaking on real life experiences from both the suburban and urban lifestyles in which he's lived, Tre is what some might call "The Best Of Both Worlds".  With such musical influence and talent, he is no stranger to adapting to any flow (fast or slow paced) which truly defines his name (That Raw Emcee with Flows).
​
"Money On My Mind" the debut album is rereleased on all major digital streaming sites (ITunes, Google Play, Spotify) and is currently working on the second official album. This would be the fourth release with the first being his "Darkest Nights" EP, and the mixtape "That Raw Emcee" available on DatPiff. Official merchandise from the AHWU Entertainment brand is also in the works and should be released during the year.
​
A proud member of the Spanish Side roster and also the head of his own brand AHWU (Amongst Hate We Unite) Entertainment. The strive to be the best possible, musically, comes almost natural! With rocking stages in both New York and in his home town of New Jersey, stage presence is nothing new, easily getting a crowd hype and keeping them entertained.
​
After releasing the controversial diss track, "Jump Ship" aimed towards an underground label,  and receiving countless backlash and "Who Are You?" type of questions from their fan base, the fourth released project and second official album "Embrace Hate" is sure to answer any and all questions the public might have. With his goal to be one of the best underground artists, his game plan is in full view. Tre plans to keep his word and be the voice for the "misfits" and the doubted people of the world. With doing anything in his power to answer any and all fans that may reach out to him, he's stayed true to his word of being a different breed of an artist and has no intentions of breaking that word! So to the day one beginning fans, the new ones, and future ones, stay tuned, this is truly only the beginning! Your support never does go unnoticed and will show at future shows! Always remember that Amongst the Hate We all should Unite!

Dock Leveler Washington DC is essential for companies that ship and/or received goods on pallets at their place of business. The heavier the cargo the more important a dock leveler can be. Of course the objective of a dock leveler is to facilitate quick and safe loading and unloading of cargo, and generally a forklift is used to move the cargo. Some business operations deal in lighter goods where handing is easier, in which the dock leveler can be of a light weight type.

“I have combed through the flea-markets and these are the oldest that I could find”
It was an Italian orchestra which was playing a tango, a big band which was playing for American soldiers in Europe, another tune that I can no longer remember, then Enrico Caruso.  We could feel the spectral silhouettes left empty by the sound.  The music filled the air of a ball-room.  Like a negative, the deck of an idle steam-ship whose flat body was sinking into the mud of the Mississipi.  The one in which Louis Armstrong came into his own with the orchestra of Fate Marable.

“They had three hundred tunes in the repertoire.  There was every type of music, even Verdi and Hungarian polka.

“I would call this Folkloric”

The lp had just ended and I added:

“This I will call Jazz”

Many musical styles, many traditions, both folkloric and sophisticated. All together because in the Twenties the Maestros were still alive.  How could you not look like an orchestra of drunkards who play Stravinskij?  For Mr Morton, and Fate knew it too, Jazz was a suit, let’s say a red one.  It could fit all the musical styles that passed through his hands.  “We, down in New Orleans play Aida like this, he said to whom interrogated  him at the Library of Congress and started to play the triumphal march.

“As if we were an Orchestra, but we are only four”

“It is always very important to be current”

This last sentence was met with agreement.

We worked for a year and we finished the first chapter.   
It is titled Some Like It Zombie.  You must listen to it at maximum volume.
It is up to you to decide if it is successful or not.
If it is Mr Zombie Orchestra or not.

Appoggiò sul ripiano di una macchina da cucire un grammofono in plastica bianco e tirò fuori dalla borsa una busta con sette dischi neri che luccicavano nella penombra. 
"Ho passato al setaccio i mercati delle pulci e questi sono i più vecchi che ho trovato "
 C'era un'orchestra italiana che eseguiva un tango, una big band che suonava per i soldati americani in Europa, un altro brano che non ricordo più, poi Enrico Caruso. Potevamo sentire le sagome spettrali lasciate vuote dal suono. La musica riempiva l'aria di una pista da ballo. Come un negativo, il ponte di un pigro battello a vapore che affondava lo scafo piatto nel fango del Mississipi. Quello in cui Louis Armstrong si faceva le ossa con l'orchestra di Fate Marable.
 "Avevano trecento brani in repertorio. C'era di tutto è chiaro, anche Verdi e le polke ungheresi"

"Io questo lo chiamo Popolare"

 Il disco girava ormai a vuoto e aggiunsi: 
 
"Io lo chiamerei Jazz" 

"Molte musiche, molte tradizioni, sia popolari che colte, tutto assieme perchè negli anni '20 i Maestri erano ancora vivi. Come si fa a non sembrare un'orchestra di ubriaconi che suona Stravinskij? Per il signor Morton , e Fate lo sapeva,  il Jazz era un vestito, diciamo rosso. Poteva calzare a tutte le musiche che gli passavano tra le mani: "Noi, giù a New Orleans l'Aida la suoniamo così" diceva a chi lo interrogava alla Library of Congress e attaccava con la marcia trionfale.

" ...come fossimo un'Orchestra, solo che siamo in quattro" 

"E' anche molto importante essere attuali"
 
Quest'ultima frase trovò il consenso.

Abbiamo lavorato per un anno e abbiamo chiuso il primo capitolo.
Si intitola Some Like It Zombie. Devi ascoltarlo a massimo volume.
 A te sta decidere se è un successo o no.
 Se è Mr Zombie Orchestra o no.

 Scrivilo a Mr Zombie.
 Seguici.
