From a young age, Angela was immersed in music, listening to The Doors, 2Pac, and Queen in her father's car, while her mother played Samba and Salsa. Her brother, Brandon, introduced her to new artists and classic records from Stones Throw, sparking their songwriting journey together. Angela followed her passion for music early on, expressing creativity through songwriting, piano, and guitar. Her debut record, 'Introspection', a collaboration with Adrian Younge, was released in 2020. At 17, she joined The Midnight Hour, Younge’s group with Ali Shaheed Muhammad. Creating her own music, Angela wanted to honor her roots: her father arrived in Highland Park from Mexico in the '70s, where he met her mother, of mixed Puerto Rican and Mexican heritage. Childhood walks down Figueroa in Highland Park with her grandparents left a lasting impression. 'Descanso' marks a new chapter for Angela, reflecting on her upbringing, memories, and the theme of love in its various forms. Written with her brother, the EP’s title means \"to rest\" in Spanish. Angela explains, “Rest is necessary for growth, it allows time to digest experiences and feelings, and helps me better understand them.” 'Descanso' showcases both vulnerability and strength, offering comfort to herself and others.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stones Throw Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44795912978593,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0635\/1427\/files\/a3195727176_16.jpg?v=1736150446"},{"product_id":"rini-peni-candra-wulansih-new-lp","title":"Rini, Peni Candra – Wulansih – New LP","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Indonesian composer and performer, Peni Candra Rini, who specializes in traditional, neotraditional, and experimental music from Java releases her new album Wulansih. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFFO: Arooj Aftab, Anoushka Shankar, traditional Indonesian gamelan music.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 42px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=2198958377\/size=small\/bgcol=333333\/linkcol=0f91ff\/transparent=true\/\" seamless\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/peni.bandcamp.com\/album\/wulansih\"\u003eWulansih by Peni Candra Rini\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-about\"\u003ethe Indonesian composer and performer whose musical practice encompasses a wide range of traditional and experimental Javanese styles, announces her new album Wulansih (July 12, 2024) via New Amsterdam Records.

Produced by Ismaily at New York's Figure 8 Recording, Wulansih creates a world all its own.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 8 songs on Wulansih exert a deep sense of spiritual calm and act as, in Rini’s words, “a reminder that you are still human, listening to expressions of other humans.” Her music is deeply inspired by the poetry of Rumi and Hafez, Wayang Kulit (Indonesian shadow play), and Serat, the tradition of Sufi thought in Central Javanese court poetry. Rini says that Wulansih aims to “express my inner feelings, my soul, to provide inspiration to younger Indonesian composers, and to introduce Indonesian new compositions to new global audiences.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWulansih is a small encyclopedia of Indonesian music.

Estu explores the idea of “love as a sacrifice; it takes a commitment to put one’s heart in the right place. It requires the seriousness of an artist,” while Warahsih explores how “always through understanding and sincerity, teaching Love to those who study the ways of life, through the ages.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe music on Wulansih transforms these poems of love and compassion into open and lush sonic spaces that are crafted using synthesizers, traditional Indonesian instruments, Rini’s wide vocal range, guitars, and Ismaily’s production.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003ca\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-credits\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003ePeni Candra Rini: Voice\u003cbr\u003eI Gusti Putu Sudarta: Voice, Gamelan\u003cbr\u003eAndy McGraw: Pinjo, Cello, Kalimba, Gamelan, Steel Drum\u003cbr\u003eLester St. Louis: Cello\u003cbr\u003eShahzad Ismaily: Moog, Guitar\u003cbr\u003eJohn Priestley: Guitar\u003cbr\u003eCurt Sydnor: Synthesizer\u003cbr\u003eBrandon Simmons: flute\u003cbr\u003eNat Quick: Cak*\u003cbr\u003eClover Dosier: Cuk*\u003cbr\u003eRobert Andrew Scott: Fiddle*\u003cbr\u003eBrian Larson: Percussion*\u003cbr\u003eJessica Zike: Bass*\u003cbr\u003eAll lyrics by Peni Candra Rini unless otherwise noted\u003cbr\u003eIndonesian translations by Peni Candra Rini\u003cbr\u003eEnglish translations by Peni Candra Rini and Andy McGraw\u003cbr\u003eCompositions by Peni Candra Rini, unless otherwise noted.\u003cbr\u003eArrangements by Peni Candra Rini and Andy McGraw.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArtwork by Phong Tran\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll lyrics by Peni Candra Rini unless otherwise noted\u003cbr\u003eIndonesian translations by Peni Candra Rini\u003cbr\u003eEnglish translations by Peni Candra Rini and Andy McGraw\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCompositions by Peni Candra Rini, unless otherwise noted.\u003cbr\u003eArrangements by Peni Candra Rini and Andy McGraw.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMixed and mastered by Chris Botta\u003cbr\u003eExcept Warasih mixed and co-produced by John Dieterich\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"New Amsterdam Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44795955675297,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0635\/1427\/files\/a0716301521_16.jpg?v=1736151342"},{"product_id":"holland-fricke-lili-sean-rogan-dear-alien-new-lp","title":"Holland-Fricke, Lili \u0026 Sean Rogan – Dear Alien [IMPORT] – New LP","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYour new favourite early morning record, from ambient-experimental-pop duo Lili Holland-Fricke \u0026amp; Sean Rogan.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 42px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=378744367\/size=small\/bgcol=333333\/linkcol=0f91ff\/transparent=true\/\" seamless\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/lilihollandfricke.bandcamp.com\/album\/dear-alien\"\u003edear alien by lili holland-fricke \u0026amp; sean rogan\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHome-recorded over a Greenwich summer, the manc duo's debut LP 'Dear Alien' warps vocals, cello and guitar through pedals and tape loops, layered with poetic vocal musics \u0026amp; found sounds.

Austin: The title track kicks things off as spiraling guitars jingle-jangle across rippling piano notes, thumping bass and a clackity backbeat. The melody and arrangement conjure up comparisons to the Byrds, Big Star and The Replacements, but by now, those influences have been baked into Luther’s musical DNA. The lyrics offer a nuanced narrative that explicates that first frisson of instant attraction: “Hitching a ride on the outskirts of town, sun-dappled in gold, as the dusk looms, we’re strewn in our room and our bodies enfold, these are the days when all things amaze and no one gets caught, these are the ways we laze in the daze, neck-deep in a thought.” Just ahead of bridge, guitars idle and the beat drops down to a chunky cadence as this newfound romance goes off the rails: “Buried alive on an all-night drive so late, staring ahead, wearing our tread, we wait, we wait, we wait.”\n\nAlthough Luther’s feet are firmly planted in the 21st century, he spent his childhood soaking up the music of ‘60s and ‘70s. So, it’s no surprise that a couple of tracks here draft off a blueprint created by L.A. bands like Love, The Merry-Go-Round and The Byrds. “Downtown Girls,” which is also the album’s first single, is simply irresistible (but not in a louche, Robert Palmer way). Jangly, 12-string guitar partners with boinging bass and a cantilevered beat. Lyrics spin the familiar yarn of the outsider longing to sit at the cool kids’ table: “I stumble up to the busy street, the locals reek of cheap-cut meat, neon strangers pass in a dance, the downtown girls just laugh and dance. The sunny melody belies the lyrics’ diffidence. By the break, bendy guitar chords uncoil, bordered by stinging electric riffs that mirror the the lyrics’ angsty leitmotif.\n\nIf The Byrds and The Kinks ever collaborated on a song, it might sound something like “Right Way.” Ringing guitars chime atop spidery bass and a rat-a-tat beat. Sagacious lyrics explore the emotional duality, that see-sawing sensation that charts the highs and lows of love: “It’s the light of the door that opens on you like a grin, and there is nothing more than to be consumed from within,” versus “It’s the death of a dream that startles your heart in the night, and the breath of a scream will fill you as you wake in fright.”\n\nThis record is magnificent front to back, but the best tracks hopscotch across both sides. On “All The Ways,” querulous guitars are tethered to loping bass lines and a galloping backbeat. Lyrics offer a bitter treatise on infidelity: “A broken vase, a broken vase of rain, and a broken vow, Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ himself couldn’t save you now.” But by the chorus it’s unclear as to who is at fault: “All The Ways I might have loved you can’t save me now.” Willowy acoustic notes dovetail with caustic electric riffs on the break underscoring what Jimi Hendrix once labelled “Love Or Confusion.”\n\nThen, there’s shimmery “Wanna Be Your Lover.” Pealing guitars repeat a magical cluster of chords, bookended by buoyant bass lines and brawny backbeat. Sharp and succinct lyrics cut to the chase: “It’s the way you look when you’re not alone, it’s the kind of thing where you know it’s wrong, oh I wanna be your lover.” Beatific harmonies ahh-ing and sighing behind each verse, coupled with a sunshiny early ‘70s guitar solo, manages to downplay the lyrics’ licentious intent.\n\nModal guitars intwine, lining up with wily bass lines and a tambourine shake on “The Midnight Flame.” Intricate lyrics paint a vivid portrait of a chance encounter: “I caught your eye in the madding crowd, the clouds were draped in danger, the scream in our hearts couldn’t cry out loud, we were like one perfect stranger\/An owl in the eves watched over the scene, the Chinese lanterns gently swayed drunk on love that punctures the spleen, I started to dance as the requiem played.” As serpentine guitars snake around lilting, Parisian accordion runs, it’s immediately apparent that this chance encounter has forged a symbiotic connection: “For all that is light in the sun, and all that is right on the run, I built up the will to taste a tear, and you, you responded in kind, with your soul, body and mind, and we beat back the fear to dream our days and burn the midnight flame.”\n\nFinally, the aforementioned “Sing This Song” is equal parts Punky and melodic. Cascading guitars are anchored by stuttery bass lines and a speed-shifting beat. Even as this shared madness threatens to get out of control, the bond remains unbreakable: “We’ve got a poem in our hearts, let the words resound, we’ve got a ballad in our souls keeping us spellbound.” Luther’s vocals phase and shudder on the chorus as fluttery guitars accelerate through the arrangement’s hairpin turns.\n\nThe record takes a Psychedelic trip on both “And Ever” and “Tu Es Donc Je Suis.” The former is a drowsy dirge powered by lysergic guitars, murmuring keys, whirring bass and a peevish beat. Luther shares vocal duties with SBT (the artist formerly known as Sara Beth Tucek). Their blend is by turns, moody, melancholy and evocative as lyrics long for an extinguished relationship: “Smoke curling through the stale air from a single crushed cigarette, music lingers while there’s no one there, in minor keys from an old cassette.” Sidewinding guitars meander as the song winds to a close.\n\nOn the latter, wobbly wah-wah riffs lattice tensile bass, gauzy keys and a tabla-esque beat. Roughly translated, the French title means “You are, therefore I am.” Lyrics like “I wanna see, see things through the lens of your eyes, Girl, the dream that paints over all the debris.” sketch out a tableau of obsessive love. A kaleidoscopic guitar solo wraps around the break as cryptic dialogue pays homage to the French New Wave classic, “Breathless.” The final solo splits the difference between the reverse guitar loops featured on The Beatles’ “Tomorrow Never Knows,” and the subtle sitar-riffic fills that licked the margins of “Norwegian Wood.”\n\nThe record ends on a dissonant note with “Your Reckless Heart.” Splayed guitar chords are matched with downcast bass and a tumble-down beat. Despite the lyrical sturm und drang on the verse, the romantic regret washes away by the chorus, which offers an oath of allegiance: “You believe and I will follow, your darkest dreams, my saving grace, like a pill that I must swallow, your reckless heart leaves no trace.” An incandescent guitar solo shivers and aches on the break, just ahead of piercing electric riffs. It’s a quiescent finish to a glorious album.\n\nThis is a solo record in name only, Luther, of course sang and played guitar. But he was aided and abetted by longtime compadres Jason Hiller who played bass, as well as Chris Joyner on accordion and organ. Jason Falkner (a talented singer-songwriter in his own right) also chimes in, adding synth, lead guitars and vocals.\n\nTo quote Nick Lowe, this record is Pure Pop For Now People. It is a perfect distillation of Luther Russell’s myriad influences. Glimmers of Italian Neo-Realism and French New Wave Cinema dot the lyrics. Melodies and arrangements alternate between dark and light, Noirish and effervescent. This record aches in all the right ways. Happiness For Beginners is the first great record of 2025.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"credits-label\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-credits\"\u003ereleased January 17, 2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProduced by Luther Russell\u003cbr\u003eEngineered by Jason Hiller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVox, Guitars - Luther Russell\u003cbr\u003eBass - Jason Hiller\u003cbr\u003eDrums - Ben LeCourt\u003cbr\u003eAdditional Guitars, Vocals, Synth \u0026amp; Organ by\u003cbr\u003eJason Falkner, Sarabeth Tucek \u0026amp; Chris Joyner\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Curation Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44817247109281,"sku":null,"price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0635\/1427\/files\/a0640664514_16.jpg?v=1737258602"},{"product_id":"punter-australienation-import-blue-vinyl-green-noise-exclusive-new-lp","title":"Punter – Australienation [IMPORT] – New LP","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-about\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"tralbumData tralbum-about\"\u003e \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"tralbumData tralbum-about\"\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Eggs are for making \/\/ chains are for breaking \/\/ This world is ours for the taking.\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 42px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=712479966\/size=small\/bgcol=333333\/linkcol=0f91ff\/transparent=true\/\" seamless\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/drunkensailorrecords.bandcamp.com\/album\/australienation-lp\"\u003eAustralienation LP by Punter\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRipping punk-rock set from Australia, with plenty of swerves and surprises to grab you by the ears and shake some action into your innards.

The album lays out a vision of Black liberation and transmits it outward as a song cycle of bite-sized Nikki Giovanni-meets-MF DOOM-style rhythm experiments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe sample-based constructions are steeped in a lifetime of not only keen cultural observation, but direct communal participation in the culture. Locks’s decades-long resume connects the dots between experimental improvisation, sample based hip hop, punk, and poetry – each done at the highest level and with a list of collaborators that could spin the head of even the most jaded listener. And that seems to be the point. To jump-start the entire personality spectrum into action. Ecstatic positivity examined via his nuanced grasp of reality, all working toward that ever-evasive concept of what could be.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-credits\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-about\"\u003eList of Demands was set in motion when Locks was asked to present new sound work by Experimental Sound Studio (ESS) at Chicago's Museum of Contemporary Photography inside an exhibition\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ecalled Beautiful Diaspora \/ You Are Not the Lesser Part. He also contributed visual work, portions of which can be seen in List of Demands' album art. The pieces were guided by prompts from the exhibition’s curator, Asha Iman Veal, who aimed to “encourage deep thinking about parallel experiences and relationships between global artists of color and diverse Black artists.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter the show, ESS chief engineer Alex Inglizian encouraged Locks to expand upon and record the material, and volunteered to operate the controls for the occasion. This new phase brought in a number of Locks’s go-to collaborators to bring depth and balance to the project: cornetist Ben LaMar Gay, violinist Macie Stewart, poet Krista Franklin, and turntablist \/ drummer Ralph Darden (aka DJ Major Taylor). The results, though, are distinctly Damon Locks. On top of that, the results are distinctly new for Damon Locks. Sure, there have been hints of List of Demands strewn throughout his catalog – the dense rhythms of his Black Monument Ensemble, the chaotic 404 cut-and-mix of New Future City Radio, the lysergic sci-fi deejay toasting of Rob Mazurek’s Exploding Star Orchestra, the dub-inflected post-punk of The Eternals – but this is a focused cross-section of its entirety. Arguably the most \"Damon Locks\" Damon Locks record to date.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHis depth of experience as a mic controller is certainly on display here, but his signature vocal rhythms seem to permeate the sample choices as well. Locks’s always notable great taste, informed by years of digging in the crates, certainly brings with it a penchant for top-notch sample construction. The unsung crate-digging heroes, though, are the ones whose knowledge extends to the unclassifiable sections. The bins below the bins. These are the people who leave the shop with a stack of sermons, obscure radio broadcasts from now-defunct stations, crumbling documents of a past which remains relevant, disappearing voices for those with ears to hear. Locks has those ears, no doubt, and he definitely has those records. List of Demands utilizes samples of these Black voices of the past in a strikingly rhythmic way, often yielding much of the meter to overlapping human vocal patterns rather than entirely filling that space with traditionally “musical” sounds. The result is a sort of multifaceted, groove-focused body music executed with enough finesse to make a complicated concept seem easy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is our list of demands: Beauty, Form, Destiny, Love, Time, Future, and Light\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe title, List of Demands, is influenced by Locks’s work in Stateville Correctional Center with the Prison + Neighborhood Arts\/Education Project. “In the summer of 2023 I taught a class where we developed a document that stated the desires of the incarcerated artists in the group,” he says. The group spent a summer session creating what would become the Artist Constitution, a document in which their beliefs, aspirations, and demands could be compiled, which would in turn be distributed outside the prison walls. A poster of that document is included in the vinyl edition of List of Demands.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“List of Demands is not just my list,” says Locks. “The list is in conveyance, in response, and in honor of all of those great Black speakers that turned a phrase to generate movement and change. It owes as much to Rammellzee, Fred Moten and Sun Ra’s oratory excellence as it does to Kwame Ture\/Stokely Carmichael, and Angela Davis, to Michael Smith and Linton Kwesi Johnson (across the pond), to Ruby Dee’s spoken recordings, and to others too numerous to mention.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003ca\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"credits-label\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-credits\"\u003ereleased January 31, 2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll songs\/lyrics by DAMON LOCKS\u003cbr\u003eexcept \"High Priestess\" lyrics by KRISTA FRANKLIN\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eplayers:\u003cbr\u003eDAMON LOCKS - voice \u0026amp; electronics\u003cbr\u003eKRISTA FRANKLIN - voice on \"High Priestess\"\u003cbr\u003eRALPH DARDEN - drums on \"Isn't It Beautiful\" \u0026amp; turntables on \"Meteors of Fear\"\u003cbr\u003eBEN LAMAR GAY - cornet on \"Holding the Dawn in Place\" \u0026amp; melodica on \"Click\"\u003cbr\u003eMACIE STEWART - violin on \"Distance\" \u0026amp; \"Isn't It Beautiful\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRecorded by:\u003cbr\u003eALEX INGLIZIAN at Experimental Sound Studio\u003cbr\u003eand DAVE VETTRAINO at International Anthem Studios\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMixed by:\u003cbr\u003eDAVE VETTRAINO at International Anthem Studios\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMastered by:\u003cbr\u003eDAVID ALLEN\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCover Art by:\u003cbr\u003eDAMON LOCKS\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"International Anthem Recording Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44836569350305,"sku":null,"price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0635\/1427\/files\/a0158991114_16.jpg?v=1738816206"},{"product_id":"freckle-s-t-new-lp","title":"Freckle – S\/T - New LP","description":"Corey Madden and Ty Segall 2025.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 42px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=4114504167\/size=small\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/transparent=true\/\" seamless\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/freckledfreckles.bandcamp.com\/album\/freckle\"\u003eFreckle by Freckle\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nWhen a Freckle pops up, that’s when you know that the sun has gotten through.

A good way to stretch the muscles but it also seemed like a decent time for the community who would suggest songs etc. and more than occasionally ask, “does this mean we’re getting a covers album?”. On the heels of the news that I have to have another surgery Dave Palmer and I decided to make my 14th studio album just in case. It’s a personal journey through the American Songbook featuring reinterpretations of some of my favorite songs by Chappell Roan, Britney Spears, Randy Newman, Gillian Welch, Lucinda Williams, The Louvin Brothers, Miley Cyrus and more. And even though this time around I’m contending with material I didn’t write, it somehow feels just like me for better or worse. It’s also incredibly expensive to make so I’m humbly asking those of you who care about the work, and anyone who would plunk down a couple bucks to have seen me live in the past few years, to get involved with the campaign to get it mixed and pressed and to your doorstep. Not only can you snag the new record, but you can cop the book, the box set, bundles of catalog vinyl, all at a steep discount.

Musically, this is blown-out, grooving noise-rock in the Am Rep tradition, not too far from The Hammer Party (or the more locked-in riffage of Landed) and Cows. It’s not excessively noisy, but the primitive, laid-back riffing and caustic guitar tones are all redolent of the traditional noise-rock formula, punk rock’s greasy, sluggish offspring. Larry Joe Treadway is a capable vocalist and deserving of his two first names, sounding like he’s crashed at least one car that he was able to walk away from without a scratch. All that, and the lyrics are mostly referencing various old-timey bad-ass wrestlers, the guys whose Dark Side Of The Ring episodes were more about shooting pistols at bloodthirsty fans than wasting away on pills.

The band started when Norwegian bassist Ingebrigt Håker Flaten moved to Austin, TX in 2009, and upon meeting an incredibly diverse music scene in Texas he was inspired to form a band that would bring together all the different things he was hearing. He saw a potential for combining his own background in jazz and improvised music with experimental rock, hip-hop, electronic music, and all the things that exist in the crossover between these expressions, a playful mix that often had a cinematic flair. The Young Mothers were born, and for the first five years the band only played live, and quickly built a reputation for being an exciting act you needed to see. In 2014 their debut album “A Mothers Work Is Ever Done” showed that the live excitement could also be extended into the recording studio.

Set against those respectively anxious and swaggering tracks, her voice occupies the space of an inner monologue narrating a tense walk home, and green room misogyny from a place of droll observance, a universal experience rendered in specific detail. Like its predecessors Attachment Styles and the Gender Studies EP, Something Soft was recorded by Jamie Hyland.  One of Something Soft’s ghosting anthems, “1800-Call-Me-Back,” began as a joke that the band should write a football chant, but it became far more complex—the delicious balance of chaos and clarity they struck would have been impossible without time. “I Miss My Dog” is less off-the-cuff, but its meditation on grief builds up at a breakneck pace, from feedback to Keane’s drumming and singing to a conclusion that smothers that grief in bass and guitar. For those who’ve come to recognize themselves in M(h)aol’s songs, listening to Something Soft is like jumping into a long-running chat thread, full of fury and humor.

The Chicago-based multi-instrumentalist, composer, and improviser describes the collection as “a love letter to the moments we spend in-between”—a letter realized via an intentional return to piano, her first instrument and the origin of her creative expression. Here Stewart creates a striking and cinematic work through collages of prepared piano, field recordings, and string quartet compositions, one that gives shape to a transient universe all its own while tracing the line of her musical past, full circle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 42px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=459036685\/size=small\/bgcol=333333\/linkcol=0f91ff\/transparent=true\/\" seamless\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/intlanthem.bandcamp.com\/album\/when-the-distance-is-blue\"\u003eWhen the Distance is Blue by Macie Stewart\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLong-heralded in musician circles for her versatility, Stewart stands as a distinguished, go-to collaborator across genre and style, with a collaborative CV that reads like a dream year-end list—performing strings for Makaya McCraven or Japanese Breakfast; singing harmonies with Tweedy; arranging for Alabaster DePlume, Resavoir, Mannequin Pussy, or SZA; co-leading the jagged art-rock experimentation of Finom, her duo with songwriter Sima Cunningham. This varied-yet-distinct sound has led to a name recognition that goes beyond the devoted liner note enthusiast.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Macie Stewart has had a hand in making some of the best\u003cbr\u003etracks of the past five years transcendent.”\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(Pitchfork)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'When the Distance is Blue' finds her gathering those threads and focusing those sensibilities into an 8-piece song cycle. The first sessions were recorded with IARC house engineer Dave Vettraino at Chicago’s Palisade Studios in early 2023. The piano was prepared with coins and contact mics, creating harmonically and texturally rich sounds to explore and improvise alongside.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThose improvisations eventually became nestled within a growing collection of Stewart’s field recordings. 2023 was a year marked with extensive touring, during which she collected dozens of aural snapshots from airports, stairwells, and crowded markets, effectively compiling an audio journal of her travels. Weaving their way throughout the record, those recordings form a collage of sound, movement, and memory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“I wanted to recontextualize these recordings and evoke a nostalgia for something I wasn’t able to name,” says Stewart. That recontextualization was deepened by further performances and improvisations by Lia Kohl, Whitney Johnson (Matchesse), and Zach Moore, all recorded at Comfort Station in Chicago. It’s fitting for such a fervent collaborator that these collaborations began to bring the musical scope of 'When The Distance is Blue' into focus.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Spring Becomes You, Spring Becomes New” begins with a series of unmetered and searching prepared piano repetitions before blooming into a rhythmically pulsing waltz of ennui à la Margaret Leng Tan’s approach to the material of Cage or Crumb. Electronically enhanced sustaining notes merge with droning violins in a dense teapot upper register, then are slowly paired away to reveal the inner layer of consonance and comfort, as the metallic rhythms of the prepared piano are co-opted by pizzicato plucked strings. When the sound of the piano re-enters it’s in its natural, unprepared state and in service of a simple melody—a slow-moving earworm, the final repetition, carrying the dynamic piece to its end. “This piece reminds me of a cross country train ride through different sceneries and landscapes,” says Stewart. It’s the feeling when you’re witnessing everything pass outside your window, knowing you may never set foot there.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat’s more, this conceptual train ride is one that touches on many of the themes throughout the record—traveling through pieces like “Tsukiji”, which consists of field recordings taken during a walk through the crowded Tsukiji Fish Market in Tokyo, or “Stairwell (Before and After)”, a serendipitous collage of piano improvisations overlaid with vocal improvisations recorded in a beautifully reverberant stairwell in Paris, France.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the album’s final piece, “Disintegration,” Stewart’s through-composed quartet arrangement bends and contorts in a microtonal descent. Raw harmonics scrape and pull, whistling flute-like across desolate valleys, as strings spiral into an unknown beyond. From this stripped, warped place, we face the inevitability of transformation, and embrace the possibilities of change.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'When The Distance is Blue' is a companion piece for moving through life. A source of solace when we are unsure where we will land. The album draws its title from Rebecca Solnit’s book of essays, 'A Field Guide to Getting Lost'. Stewart, too, contends with the longing for all that lies out of reach, and gives shape to that longing throughout this contemplative collection with a musical lexicon which lands somewhere between Alvin Curran’s 'Songs and Views from the Magnetic Garden' and Claire Rousay’s 'A Softer Focus'.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003ca\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"credits-label\"\u003ecredits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-credits\"\u003ereleased March 21, 2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll compositions by Macie Stewart\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMacie Stewart - piano, prepared piano, violin, voice, field recordings\u003cbr\u003eLia Kohl - cello\u003cbr\u003eWhitney Johnson - viola\u003cbr\u003eZach Moore - double bass\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrepared piano with dimes, contact microphones, and guitar amp, recorded at Palisade Studios, Chicago, IL | April 2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrepared piano with felt recorded at International Anthem Studios, Chicago, IL | Feb 2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eString improvisations and compositions played by Lia Kohl, Whitney Johnson, Zach Moore, and Macie Stewart at Comfort Station, Chicago, IL | January 2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eField recording for Tsukiji recorded at the Tsukiji Fish Market in Tokyo, Japan | March 2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eField recording of vocal improvisation for Stairwell (Before and After) recorded in a stairwell at the Philharmonie de Paris in Paris, France | June 2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eField recording for Disintegration recorded at Kansai International Airport in Osaka, Japan | March 2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEngineered and Mixed by Dave Vettraino\u003cbr\u003eMastered by David Allen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBio contributions by Audrey Steiner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlbum Art \u0026amp; Design by Zander Raymond\u003cbr\u003eAdditional Layout Design by Aaron Denton\u003cbr\u003eInsert Photo (top) by Macie Stewart\u003cbr\u003eInsert Photo (middle) by Shannon Marks\u003cbr\u003eInsert Photo (bottom) by Dave Vettraino\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"International Anthem Recording Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44881768775841,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0635\/1427\/files\/a2784680489_16.jpg?v=1742666437"},{"product_id":"vida-vella-panorama-new-lp","title":"Vida Vella – Panorama - New LP","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-about\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eFeaturing members of Pansy Division,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAvengers, Camper Van Beethoven,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAnohni and the Johnsons,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOranger, Enorchestra, Bomb,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand the State Band of Guanajuato.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.................\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePanorama is an LGBTQIA+ album\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePanorama is a bilingual Spanish\/English album\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e(Side A is in Spanish, Side B is in English).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.................\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRecorded in Leon, Guanajuato with a cross section of notable US underground music stalwarts and emerging Mexican instrumentalists.

As a performer, is there added pressure when going solo, and if so, what do you do to mitigate it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLuis Gabriel Illades: Well, it took many years to find the space to play in another musical role. I do love writing, but I had always thought the ability to construct a melody, framework, and communicate a sonic vision was beyond me, since I mainly built song ideas through rhythm. Somehow, writing a proper song felt beyond me. I had bits and pieces or ideas and started forming them into songs by playing the piano rhythmically, without worrying about the melodic arc upfront. Once I allowed myself to be in that position, everything just started flowing, and I felt braver in clumsily letting ideas develop. I even forgave myself for not being a virtuoso. Funny enough, that was when I found myself able to write things that were beyond my ability and increase my playing ability to match the idea. I don’t feel pressure at this point because I am trying not to have expectations. Historically, expectations have been where disappointment is born for me. While I have goals, those come from me and things I look forward to doing. Expectations, on the other hand, come from imagining outcomes beyond my actions. I always want to be careful about that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVida Vella is unlike anything you’ve done with Pansy Division and Avengers. How much of your debut album is shaped by where you’ve been, and how much of it feels like a completely fresh start?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe approach that anyone can write a song and that you have ideas that can be shared by a musical project comes from my years of playing in punk bands. Some of these songs were written as punk blasts and slowed down to allow for breath, swagger, or additional instrumentation. If a song has a decent framework at its base, it can work at 180 bpm or 80 bpm. I found that slowing things down allowed for a mood with more creative expression at this point, but always with some sort of message that is both vulnerable and empowering or encouraging, which is what I took from the songwriters of the bands I have played with. Something that hopes to include the listener and encourage them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e‘Panorama’ blends several elements of psych, Americana, and traditional world music into a unified sound. Were there any specific albums that influenced this direction?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe magic of creating this sound was bringing in players from different backgrounds. Inviting a group of Amer-Indie stalwarts and Mexican folkloric and orchestral musicians really made the record. Part of the process was my writing and setting forth the demos, then standing back and letting the individuals add their signature approaches. Co-producer Reuben Butchart really shone in his role of orchestration, encouragement, and guidance, while joining me in letting the players be who they are and acknowledging that everyone was invited for a reason and given trust to shine. We only rehearsed twice and then went directly into the studio to record.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat made you decide to record some songs in both English and Spanish on this album, and not have some tracks that were exclusively in one language?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis album is a representation of my experience growing up in a bicultural environment. I am Mexican, but I grew up on the border. It is referred to as “cultura fronteriza.” It takes pieces from both languages and is in a constant state of extracting resources from both sides of the border and perpetually translating. This was important to keep. Interestingly, I felt like I sang and engaged differently in each language. The language evokes a different sense of self. Spanish words tend to end in vowels and evoke a more romantic and reaching effect, while English is more consonant-heavy, which feels more precise but also more guarded.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e‘Panorama’ boasts an extremely well-stacked cast of players from some highly regarded bands like Camper Van Beethoven, Anohni and the Johnsons, and the State Band of Guanajuato. Can you share any further details about how they got involved with the project and what the album-making process was like?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are some of my favorite people that I have played with over the years. People I both admire, care for, and have shared emotional experiences with. If you stick around long enough and say yes to enough things, you end up sharing stages with many people from many backgrounds. This was the most accidentally queer cast of characters. I think that whether intended or not, you are always bonding over lived, cultural, and musical identification with others. We keep tabs on our family within the music scene and seek to return to the people who have made us feel seen and upheld. These are those folks! Additionally, they are the most talented people I know, and the fact that they agreed to participate was my sincere good fortune.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Beso y Abrazo Records (Mexico)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44881788272801,"sku":null,"price":33.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0635\/1427\/files\/a1706284346_16.jpg?v=1742671471"},{"product_id":"fucked-up-someday-new-lp","title":"Fucked Up - Someday - New LP","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBeginning with 2023’s One Day, and then Another Day, Someday (2025) is the third in a planned four-part project, as ambitious in scope as the Polaris Prize-winning The Chemistry of Common Life or 2014’s criminally underrated Glass Boys.

While the phrase can conjure moments of shock and surprise, Narvaez, however uses the phrase as a foot lamp illuminating a path towards momentary transcendence - a sudden or gradual process of skin-shedding of former selves and past lives. j.o.y.s., as an album, reconciles with the past before blissfully stumbling into something new.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe music on j.o.y.s. follows a similar serpentine path. An album comprising 9 songs that represent the culmination of countless hours of experimentation and collaboration that went into the recording process. This consisted of Narvaez living in the Boyle Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles using a spartan set-up of electric guitar, a few pedals and a laptop and Narvaez’s longtime friend and collaborator Justin Gaynor contributing pedal steel from his apartment in Crown Heights in Brooklyn. The synchronicity not lost on the two, the theme of travel or trekking is prominent on the album - both in the physical sense and across the ribbon of memory that shape our\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eidentity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo that end, Narvaez’s friendship and collaboration with Justin Gaynor (who releases music under the name Bestamo) started in High School in Piscataway, New Jersey, extended into the heady days of early aughts Brooklyn and continued even when Narvaez moved across the country. The two would dedicate Fridays to improvising and exploring new sounds together through video chat - bending time around them to keep their collaboration alive. A Tim Hecker show and Relatives in Descent by Protomartyr were pivotal gifts from the universe that would encourage Narvaez to turn these improvisations with Gaynor into a fully fleshed record. This led to Narvaez seeking out Sonny DiPerri, whose production credits include julie, Wisp, DIIV, Emma Ruth Rundle, my bloody valentine as well as Protomartyr’s Relatives in Descent to mix j.o.y.s. and serve as the resident mentor \/ spiritual advisor. During these sessions Narvaez would use this opportunity to understand how DiPerri worked, why he liked what he liked and why he made decisions during production. Following this tutelage, Adam Gonsalves was brought on to master the record for vinyl.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile the pedal steel is prominent, j.o.y.s., as a project, is more in conversation with shoegaze and noise than what has recently been deemed ambient country. Heavy brutalist slabs of noise, swirling feedback create the sound bed of these songs. Gaynor’s pedal steel on this album operates as important connective tissue as both the road and the traveler between the light and shadow zones. Drones are wrapped in distortion, processed just below the threshold where we’d throw the word “harsh” around. Rather, there is a delicate dance between Gaynor’s top-rope pedal steel lines - always sweet and always just a bit mournful - with Narvaez’s ringing bass notes and noise chatter. The two tread around each other warily - the push and pull creating positive tension that is necessary in anything deemed “ambient”. Listen to “heights” as an excellent example of this, or the way “lee \u0026amp; leo” lets those notes hang in the air while Gaynor’s pedal steel rises to catch them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe light can’t ignore the dark.

By limiting the amount of studio post-production on the album, Sick successfully captures the immediacy, ferocity and danger of the band’s performances.
