Introducing EULA 
a/k/a Weirdness Is the New Loudness
By Nick Sylvester

To some extent we all knew this was going to happen: People found out how much fun it is to play short, loud, fast punk songs. Guitarists chucked their Holy Grails, bought Twins, combed the postings for meathead drummers. I was there! I was fucking there in 2008 wondering when this was going to happen, and now the transformation is complete, with stuff like Beach Fossils and Real Estate and Neon Indian the sole salaried survivors of the Brooklyn Chill Era. Just the fact that people talk about how good drummers in rock bands are now--it's a weird fucking thing!

I'm not tired of loud, fast punk bands, but what excites me about EULA is they're among the first to bail--to peace out on the loudness war. At least for a few tunes. For them, it's now about the power of intimacy and careful dissonance, and of classic songcraft's restraint cum release. I'd say "less Lydia Lunch, more David Lynch" if Lydia herself hadn't gone through a similar transformation.

Because not unlike last time punk became post-, the new loudness is... weirdness. You're loud and fast but who fucking cares! How many bands can "blow your face off" before you can't tell the difference between them anymore? That's what I like about EULA. You can keep your face! They merely want to turn you inside out. 

Alyse Lamb's remarkable voice is how they do that. If you've seen them live, you know her wide range of expression, from cooing to caterwauling in no time. It lets this band pull off some powerful baits-and-switches. "I Collapse" begins like an intimate folk song then erupts into hysteria. "Little Hearts" takes up the comfy syntax of lounge music and nearly settles into it before Alyse rips up the naugahyde. The mixes are not unlike detective novels: listen a second time and you'll see the writing all over the yellow wallpaper.

Granted I can't tell you what Eula will do next. Maurice Narcisse, their debut full-length, rightfully praised by the eMusic editorial staff and comically overlooked by almost everyone else, is a mish-mash of no-wave and electro and, of course, good old short fast punk. I'm excited to see what happens. For now? Let these two songs mark Alyse Lamb's breakout moment. She's one of Brooklyn's most beguiling songwriters and frontwomen. We hope you like her nasty weather.

A ten-point plan.

1.  Speedy Wunderground is a new label which begins on February 25th with the release of I Go Out by Steve Mason & Emiliana Torrini. 

2.  Speedy Wunderground is the idea of producer Dan Carey. Dan will produce all releases. All records will be recorded at Dan’s South London studio. Dan has previously produced Franz Ferdinand, Bat For Lashes, TOY, Willy Mason, Django Django, Emiliana Torrini, The Kills, Chairlift and Steve Mason.

3.  Recording of all records will be done in one day and finish before midnight. The recordings will be a snapshot of the day. Mixing will be done the day following the recording, also in one day only. This will prevent over-cooking and ‘faff’.

4. There will be no lunch break during recording and mixing days.

5.  Overdubs will be kept to a minimum allowing the recordings to be free of clutter.

6.  The recordings will appear in limited runs of two hundred and fifty 7”s, which will be in the shops as soon as humanly possible following their completion.

7.  The core of each song will be a live take recorded in the dark with smoke and lazers and somewhere on each record the Swarmatron - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJyub78p924 - will make an appearance.

8.  Speedy Wunderground work quickly. There will be as a little delay as possible between recording and release. Speedy Wunderground records will not sit on the shelf gathering dust waiting to be released.

9.  Speedy Wunderground will release each year’s recordings as a compilation at the end of the year.

10. Speedy Wunderground Records will not be slow.

GLASS CANDY / THE POSSESSED (Extended Runway Edit)

It all started with a fan letter…

“Hey Peter, just noticed you on a Rhys Chatham link. Just want to say I adore your work, I had a release on DFA recently, and they sent me some of your releases you did with Jonathan - so brilliant! I’ve had “Condo” track for a while, this completely catches my personality and when I feel disillusioned or need comfort, I always put this on, and it makes me feel good and strong.....i will stop gushing now! Thank you!

Nik Colk Void x”

This was Peter’s reaction…

“I was quite flattered and was glad that ‘Condo’, one of my lesser-know tracks, was being appreciated. (I was also curious, because the most-viewed clip of ‘Condo’ on Youtube is actually a slowed down version: someone played the 12” 45rpm EP at 33 rpm. The result, however, is quite beautiful.)

I responded, said I hoped we could meet the next time I am in London, and Nik then suggested that she had a track that she was working on, and would I like to listen to it and possibly collaborate. I am always game for a new challenge, so I said sure and Nik sent an mp3.

I was immediately struck by the haunting and evocative nature of the track, the analog synths feeling fresh and familiar at the same time, the vocals having a primal quality of breath and phrasing. I loaded the track into Ableton and instinctively began recording some overdubs. I used analog (Prophet 5) and digital (Moog iPad) synths and a soprano saxophone. I then sent a mix to Nik.

Nik responded quite positively, and over the next few weeks we exchanged files back and forth, experimenting with different mixes and submixes. After a couple of dozen rough mixes, accompanied by email discussions among the three of us (Gabe had entered the process after the first few exchanges,) we settled on a final mix. Shortly after we had a final mix, I synchronized the track with a video that my partner Kit Fitzgerald was working on. This long extended shot fit the music perfectly, and we had a video for ‘Beachcombing’. (A still from this video serves as the artwork for the 12”.)

Initially, there was going to be a one-sided 12”, with ‘Beachcombing’ the only track. Nik then wrote to me that Dominic was also interested in working on a track, and would I be interested in working on a B-side with Dom. Of course, I readily agreed, and I received an mp3 of synth tracks. As previously, I began building up tracks, using the alto sax (rather than the sopranino used on Beachcombing) and the addition of a vintage Korg vocoder.

Once again, a series of file exchanges of mixes, submixes and discreet tracks ensued, and we finally settled on mix #26a. There is kind of a sweet quality which surprised the both of us.”

The result is before you now and forthcoming on Optimo Music. Modern collaborations with magical results!
