Chord – Demo CD
Chord, the “power ambient” quintet from Chicago has made a name developing an evolving process rooted in the idea that their purpose is to use a self-limiting palate of musical tools (texture, dynamics) to provide an immersive experience. Their primary releases for labels such as Nuerot, Important, and Debacle have evolved quite a bit since these early demo recordings were originally released in 2006, but these early experiments document their blueprint well. Originally devised as a drone collective with live performances consisting with as many as 11 players, the core of the group eventually centered around four players (Kyle Benjamin, Phil Dole, Jason Hoffman, Trevor Shelley de Brauw), with Sean McCarthy becoming a fifth core member before the recording of the second album Progression in 2011.

iGod – Fire In The Hole CD
When it was initially published that the concept behind iGod’s second solo album, Fire In The Hole, was the journey of young Satam Al Suqami from adolescence to martyrdom, iGod found himself in the cross-hairs of the FBI. Agents, posing as “concerned citizens”, began demanding free copies of the CD to “evaluate”. When the label refused, they demanded lyric sheets. Rather than point out that it was entirely instrumental record, they were told they’d just have to buy a copy and let the album speak for itself. We hope that the Bureau ponied up…

Naked & Shameless – Whiskey Tango Foxtrot CD
The Buck (Naked) and Dave (Shameless) formulation of Naked & Shameless spent the 2000s grinding it out from their base in Chicago with a regular stream of releases and cross-country dive-bar tours. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot was the first recording they made after they moved to Los Angles and before tinsel town ate them alive. While fans have favorites on other discs such as 13 Drinking Songs and Mayberry STD, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot might well be their most cohesive collection, simultaneously mature and adolescent, pointing the way that duo would have gone had they continued in that format.

Long Beach Huntington – Ken’s #2, Anti-Tech Police & Other Delights CD
Ken “Long Beach” Huntington is a long time fixture of the local Long Beach, California independent music scene. Known primarily for his harmonica playing, both in the Full Tilt Trio and as guest player for other artists, he has also played other instrument in a range of other settings, from straight up rock to experimental music (notably joining X-Bax in 2015). His solo recordings have a distinct outsider vibe, based in roots music (folk-rock, blues, country) with the occasional dash of psychedelia. This anothology is the first public release of material culled from his DIY recordings.

Luke Brennan – The Rush to the Sky CD

The Rush to the Sky comprises guitar, violin, organ, midi synth, field recordings and found sounds and was performed and constructed in both Bray and Hackney. The main inspiration came from one of the field recordings of swifts flying over Luke’s flat. He made that recording the year before and was finishing the piece a year later when those same birds were back flying overhead, giving a wonderful sense of place and time and of the season.

Menhir – Sound Track CD
Sound Track, part of Menhir’s Desert Series is inspired by the Sahara desert and the saharaui refugee camps. It is the soundtrack of the documentary “My first life”, by the Mexican filmmaker Carlos Hernández. The film describes the birth and first days of a child in the camps. The music is composed with analog synths, voices, and electric guitars, mixed with medieval cellos and sandstorms, in 6 music pieces of ritual ambient. Recorded live in the studio, it’s music conceived to overflow the inside-out. A song that is a message, dream wrapped. The changeless time, pulling us as sandstorms. The possible sun and light.
