DAVID PAJO’S VANISHING TRICK REVEALED!

posted September 17th, 2024

The “Great Escape Artist” is back — no, not THAT one, dude’s dead! We’re talking about Papa M (AKA David Pajo), and HE’s talking ’bout Harry Houdini. At least in the title of this record, anyway: Ballads of Harry Houdini. Six years since his last LP, the all-acoustic A Broke Moon Rises, Papa M rolls into the shred zone with a fresh, fine and fat-assed set of songs — and just SIX of ‘em, so you know they’re some groovers —...

LIVE COYOTES FILMED BY BILL CALLAHAN

posted September 16th, 2024

This past July, YTI⅃AƎЯ stretched and made way to Resuscitate!, a live Bill Callahan record taped at Chicago’s Thalia Hall in March 2023 with the might of Matt Kinsey on guitar, Dustin Laurenzi on tenor sax, and Jim White on the kit. Today, we’ve got sights on “Coyotes” with a new visualizer filmed by Bill!

Bill — who’s just landed for a multi-day solo residency in the UK and Europe, kicking off tomorrow — shot this footage while flying, in a plane,... (read more)

ART THAT TICKLES US ALL FROM LESLEY ARFIN

posted September 12th, 2024

On October 25, Drag City and Soccer Club Club are excited to drop Lesley Arfin’s first graphic art collection: a hardcover book of her drawings and paintings entitled Tickle Me. Best known as a comedian, a writer, and a producer with a remarkable ability to channel the heaviest of feels, Lesley’s new book offers her glittery reflections on gender, weather, mistakes, feminism, fantasy, failure, and nostalgia across 54 full-color pages of watercolor, gauche, acrylic, fiber, stickers and collage.

TWO MORE WAND RELEASES SPIN OUT THIS YEAR!

posted September 11th, 2024

Picking up the pieces of the picked-up pieces, Wand ride on, baby. It’s only three months since they dropped the incredible mass of Vertigo upon the world… but WHAT? Here’s more! One: a new 12” EP plating the pre-release single “Help Desk” alongside “Goldfish”, a bonus dose of oceanic luminescence from Vertigo — plus three remixes from Beat Detectives, Dean Spunt and Dead Rider for good measure. Two: an LP release of the archival In a Capsule Underground, containing demos and unreleased songs... (read more)

END YOUR BEAUTIFUL SUMMER WITH JILL FRASER

posted September 9th, 2024

The warmth of this summer may be fading, but the light of Jill Fraser continues to pour in! Today, the electronic composer releases “Beautiful Summer”, a 1904 hymn read anew by machines of the future that serves as the second and final single off her forthcoming album, Earthly Pleasures.

On “Beautiful Summer”, Jill’s Serge and Prism modular units offer luminous bell tones and chimes to build her arrangement up towards the heavens, placing the notes in alternative sequences of time and harmonic... (read more)

TAKE HOME MORE ANTHONY MOORE!

posted September 5th, 2024

Anthony Moore’s post-Slapp Happy output, for years an underrated-to-outright-unknown quantity, achieves another dimensional plane with Home of the Demo, out October 25 on Drag City. This third archival release from his personal tape library triangulates upon the art-pop qualities found in his previously unreleased OUT (1976, officially issued 2020) and the new wave-adjacent Flying Doesn’t Help (1979, reissued 2022), finding Anthony’s early/mid-80s compositions drifting whimsically into the actual mainstream. With today’s news, the single “Earthbound Misfit” releases from Anthony’s... (read more)

Uploading into the ether with remarkable speed, here comes Dean Spunt’s loaded-down new LP! Basic Editions, out September 27, is the No Age artisan’s latest solo work, humming and blipping with Y2K-era digital modules and celestial soundscapes to achieve a post-existence state of ambient chaos. Today, Dean’s hitting you with another ping: a new single/video, “Confusion Is SysEx”, is now online!

To boot up “Confusion Is SysEx”, hard edits of aquatic synth thunderheads and crumpled balls of digi-junk bop up slowly,... (read more)

ENTER THE HONEYMOON PHASE WITH TY SEGALL

Ty Segall’s next record, Love Rudiments, is a daring, romantic pursuit sought out percussively: no words, no singing, no strings attached! The second single/visualizer is out today to keep the mood going: “Honeymoon (Edit)”, a delirious dance laced with cascades of Latin cowbell patterns.

“Honeymoon (Edit)” meditates on the most blissful, carefree period of any intimate tangle: the honeymoon phase! Amid a great exultation of celebratory feels, Ty’s snare shufflin’ heart beats score this intensity to foreshadow the lovers’... (read more)
