{#1} Zone Farmer - Hearing New Worlds

Whisky soaked, nocturnal, brooding. Aging’s album ‘Troubles? I Got A Bartender’ was a noteworthy, film-noir infused suite that quietly slipped out on cassette in 2015 by a then budding Manchester avant-jazz ensemble, led by David McLean.

In 2020, amidst the pandemic’s tempest and winter's gloom, the idea manifested of showcasing McLean’s slow burning, wistful soirée in a new light via a curated effort

by Berlin’s Vaagner label, which invited a series of hand-picked artist to rework selected compositions from the album, rendering its mournful, smoke-tinged resonances into new shapes.

Showcased here, is one of these efforts, by Manchester based Craig Tattersall aka A Humble Bee.

VAA07 | Aging - Vampire Body Blues (The Humble Bee Rework)

Fragmented, glacial mementos presented across 4 sides of tape, with each artist exhibiting work across one side.

This most likely represents the final Winter Olympics compilation, (seeing that these unique tape boxes have become exceedingly rare and expensive). 

Mainstays's like label favorite øjeRum and the elusive Korea Undok Group make a return, while label affiliates Thme, and The Humble Bee, (in conjunction with collaborator Erik Williamson) also add their delicate, winter struck gestures to the compilation.

Again, all pieces have been produced specifically with the tape medium in mind, and thus will only be available in the given format.

schiev presents Nouvelle Belgique, guest Laryssa Kim [08.05.2024]

For the righteous falls seven times and rises again, but the wicked stumble in times of calamity.

FallingForward

The past feels heavier when it’s slowed

Nostalgia will be the death of me (Slowed + Reverb)

Moving away from the American surf pop manipulations of his debut 'Lady's Mantle', Jake journeys through a nocturnal city-scape meandering the dimly lit streets via club back rooms and decadent boudoirs; his ode to the endless night and those who take residence under it's cloak.

A psychedelic map of ASMR rattles, drones and tones melting in-and-out of the night with the heaving intensity of an open window on a busy city street, lubricating familiar rumbles with sensual tones, mirroring the blurry high of a low-light encounter.

A1. on occasions of this kind
A2. fleeting touches
A3. reservoir of memory
A4. melting like the stars

B1. red as the print of a kiss
B2. the dimness of the sealed eye
B3. like sweet thoughts in a dream
B4. silent sailing

Limited edition of 500 copies pressed up on transparent red vinyl.
