Endless Blue

Lord I'm Doing The Best I Can

Ignorance with no agreement
had been all around;
sweet nasty veil.
Now, heroes are turning to dirt
and lies are exposed:
I needed to hate myself.

Unexpected courses taking over,
fear showed me its face
and I laughed at it.
Shadows are now my friends,
the cold revealed as beauty… 

I needed to hate myself.

INTRODUCING: THE FLAG AND “OFF MUSIC”
BY NICK SYLVESTER

Let’s start with clarity, and reassurance: The Flag is not another Black Flag reunion band. 

The Flag, which is the artist Ted McGrath’s latest musical project, works in a tradition of New York I only know as 'off music'. A classic sound, turned inside-out. Monk was off. Liquid Liquid was off. Talking Heads were off. Rap was so off! Velvets--a thousand miles off. Even the Strokes were off, if only because *nothing* was off about the Strokes. 

His voice reminds me of weirdo New York crooners like Alan Vega and David Byrne and Sal Principato, though I find him more lovable. Rhythmically the music is very much indebted to stuff like Suicide and Liquid Liquid and On The Corner. Heavy stuff but again: Ted is the people’s champ. “Alpha 60 Punch Out” is the a-side. It’s built off an irresistible full-spectrum percussion loop that propels the song through six or seven distinct movements. On the flip is the introspective "Neighbors": a maximum-delay guitar number about a specific NYC rite of passage known as Getting Mugged.

If you’re playing Brooklyn Noise Bingo at home, this whole release--a teaser for what we hope will be more soon--is a gold mine. Ted played in These Are Powers and Antimagic, and his iconic messy visual style regularly appears on show posters and album covers around town. Jeremy Scott recorded both songs at Civil Defense right before Hurricane Sandy knocked him and many other friends of ours out of commission. Sarah Register of Talk Normal mastered both tracks at The Lodge, and gave them their impossible spread across the stereo field. “Alpha 60 Punch Out” b/w “Neighbors” is available digitally worldwide and on limited edition cassette at the GODMODE shop mid July.

High and Dry

Female/male duo/couple White Hex released their debut album, 'Heat,' in 2012. 2014 sees their return with the follow up full-length, 'Gold Nights'. The album is the second in a series of three thematically connected records which is based on a period of three years. Recorded after shows in Paris, Berlin, New York and Melbourne, 'Gold Nights' explores Italo disco, minimalist techno and the more primitive end of 1980’s German underground. They embrace their love of high fashion, 1980’s New York vogue techno and the mutant explorations of Arthur Russell, Craig Leon and Gianni Rossi. 'Gold Nights' retains certain elements of their beloved debut, but moves in a more sophisticated direction as a result of White Hex’s vision and with the help of producer Alex Akers (Forces-Siberia Records). 

White Hex is Tara Green and Jimi Kritzler.

'Gold Nights' will be released on felte (worldwide excluding Australia/New Zealand) & it records (Australia/New Zealand).
