02 Gnoomes - Sword In The Stone

"Top Ticket" is the debut single from P.E., a new group featuring members the defunct post-punk project Pill and electronic/art-rock combo Eaters. Born of onstage improvisation, P.E. is an experiment in free-form collaboration and playful abrasiveness, generating industrial pop with a human touch and a sick sense of humor.  Featuring an absurdist dance remix by Liars, "Top Ticket" is just the first taste of the unnatural fruit P.E. have cultivated in the boroughs of NYC.

Lyrics
 
Chevron stripes;
Five minutes on the highway.
Ohhh she’ll mark her territory,
but I’m undercover with a flash-light.
 
Hot tip - the girls like to tease her.
Hot tip - let me win or I just might cry.
 
I want the Top - Ticket;
Nothing average, nothing contrived.
None of that consumer grade shit!
 
Top pick, No - Game - Winner,
you wanna groove with me?
I’ll need strict compliance.
 
High speed. High performing.
Midnight cruising. Conventional bondage.
 
Beat it down with the double play.
Beat it down with the double playyy!
I  want the  Top - Ticket.

About “Something in the Way”

We are excited to announce that Palberta's new single, "Something in the Way," will be out on 8/5. Since the release of the acclaimed Roach Goin' Down, Ani, Lily, and Nina have been busy touring the U.S., releasing a live benefit album and opening for Bikini Kill at Brooklyn Steel. All the while, they have been writing and perfecting new songs, a few of which entered the band's sets before the global pandemic shut live music down and postponed their first U.K./Europe tour, originally scheduled for April.   

"Something in the Way" marks the first Palberta release tracked in a professional studio environment. They found a great recording partnership with Matt Labozza (Palm, Shimmer) and took easily to putting down their new material in a studio setting while still experimenting with song-structure, as they do on the outro of "Something in the Way," a repeating motif from John Coltrane's "A Love Supreme." 

The recording of "Something in the Way" achieves a clarity not heard on past Palberta releases. From the harmony vocals to the guitars that chime and caterwaul, Palberta's singular sound is brought into focus in Matt Labozza's recording. Below are some words from the band about how the song came to be and what it means to them.

About "Something in the Way" from Palberta 

"Something in the Way" started as many Palberta songs do, with one person playing a drum, guitar, or bass riff and then the other two building off of that initial feeling. As usual, we frantically but carefully guided each other to the end of the song. When we got there, we found ourselves fading into a tricked-out looped fragment of John Coltrane's "A Love Supreme." Coltrane's melody has a direct connection for us to our beautiful friend Pablo Ramirez, who passed in 2019. His view on life—"LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL LIFE IS IN COLOR LIFE IS A W A Y"—impacted us all in such a positive way, and his beauty and genuine LOVE of life lives on through the thousands of people that he blessed through meeting. We dedicate this song to Psplifff and his mother, the amazing Mammasplifff, and all the beautiful people on the right side of history showing up right now. We love you! - Palberta

Palberta - Something in the Way

NYC's Peel Dream Magazine dazzled listeners with their recent release "Agitprop Alterna," a smart album that draws from a wide set of post-punk, shoegaze and indiepop influences but still has an assured, unique sound. Now they're following up with "Moral Panics," a companion EP that features unreleased songs from the "Agitprop Alterna" sessions. Far from being outtakes, these are all songs that stand strong on their own, and gathered together function as a useful corollary to the album. Songs like "New Culture," "Verfremdungseffekt" and "Life At The Movies" continue Peel Dream's investigations into those frought areas where art, culture and commerce meet. Bristling with both ideas and solid tunes, the EP as a whole comprises a crucial piece of the band's discography.

Bruno Nicolai - GEMINUS
LP

Four Flies are proud and honoured to release the first vinyl reissue of Bruno Nicolai’s outstanding original score for GEMINUS, a 1969 Italian TV mini-series directed by Luciano Emmer and starring Walter Chiari, Alida Chelli, and Ira von Fürstenberg. 
Originally released under Italian label Gemelli, Nicolai’s soundtrack has been remastered from the original master tapes and comes in a glossy, tip-on style jacket featuring the restored original cover artwork, as well as extended liner notes by film critics Francesco Cesari and Roberto Curti. 

Bruno Nicolai composed and directed an eclectic score that brings together different music genres and influences, from 60s beat, psych, and prog rock to baroque and experimental music. He did not hesitate to mix classical forms and structures with new instruments and remarkable, eccentric arrangements. In ‘Giano’ (Janus), the interplay between a distorted electric guitar and a hypnotic harpsichord creates a strange, somewhat troubling ambience. The delicate, celestial voice of Edda Dell'Orso leaves its unique emotional imprint on the most lyrical piece in the soundtrack, ‘Tema Barocco’ (Baroque Theme).
The main theme ‘Il cielo cade’ (The Sky Is Falling) features a luxurious arrangement and stunning orchestration enhanced by enchanting vocal harmonies sung by ‘I Cantori Moderni di Alessandroni’. 
In other pieces, such as ‘Larve’ (Larvas), ‘Il sognatore’ (The Dreamer), ‘Eclisse di luna’ (Moon Eclipse), ‘Visioni’ (Visions), ‘Catacombe’ (Catacombs), and ‘Notti romane’ (Roman Nights), expressive and experimental solo passages played by instruments such as the vibraphone, sitar, harmonica, or percussions, contribute to the sombre, mysterious atmosphere of the score as a whole.
Limited edition, 500 copies worldwide.
