drunjus - zone grown cassette (pizza night 2009)

"New fresh est tapee from Drunjus. Dense, primordial mud-drones and clammy earth-synth from this unit that features Clay Ruby and various members of the Davenport cultus. “Sounds like the tropics meet Wisconsin ” volcanic tongue

'Zone Grown' is a pretty deep wade through some pea-soup drone, and ends with this killer 1950 sci-fi computer processing peak. the ship is on auto and ready for docking...

The Flip side 'Porch Approach' is one of many recordings from this summers 'Dream Porch' sessions. Fair weather sundays outside on the porch 114 N. Brearly st. soaking it in and sending out. I think the neighboors even drop by for a visit. The time spent decompressing before entering the earths atmosphere after time away, can seem far longer than it actually may be. Of course, this makes the final arrival all that much better..."

anahita

anahita - matricaria (important 2009)

"Anahita is Tara Burke (Fursaxa) and cellist Helena Espvall (Espers). Tara recently showed up on Important as part of the duo of Tau Emerald with Sharron Kraus while Helena contributed a beautiful piece to the James Blackshaw currated Garden Of Forking Paths compilation. Anahita is a beautiful, laboriously created and floating affair of skeletal organ drones, ceremonial singing and subtly frantic instrumental accompaniment conjuring up a natural woodland romp and stomp.
The album was recorded between 2005 and 2008. All tracks were recorded on a 4 track by Tara and Helena in their homes." important

second family band - oui (ourecordings 2009)

"By 2002, many volk had gathered 'round and beat the bounds within the walls and yards of the Tomb. Many musical stories were born, such as The Davenport Family, The Grass Magic, Thee Botanical Shrine Band, Zodiac Mountain, All Do Gather, Organon, Candiru, The Crowned and Conquering Children, A Mercury Ensemble, Orthodox Blood Orchestra, The Midwestern Mudslide Hootenanny and Free Pentecostal Family Jams, Outlet, Jesus Balls, Mirror Man and th' Oshun Oxtra, as well as dozens of unnamed gatherings. These events have resulted in hundreds of hours of recorded musik and the tapes continue to pile up as most of us still live and work and play together. So now we have christened the advent of the Second Family, our new and unified banner for all of these our ancient (and future) rites. Peace, -=z.::.w=-"

Ø+yn

Ø +yn ~ la canción del ciempiés / quise ser búho cdr (ikuisuus 2008)

"This is Ø +yn (puede prununciarse omasín u ómásín u o + in u omas omasin o +in o+yn omasin también): a group formed by Gustavo Valerga, María Victoria Arener, Pablo Picco and César Young. Four people from different parts of the country mixed together in Córdoba.

Recorded in 2007 and mixed this year, ¨La canción del ciempiés¨ comes from the same recording sessions of ¨Copa de un árbol sin raíz¨.

Vocals are mostly throat singing by María Victoria, Gustavo makes all the guitar walls, César does the drumming and Pablo the keyboards & flutes. Spectral melodies in second track ¨Quise ser búho¨, sung by the special quest, our friend Gubia from Ecuador. Long minutes of electric static after some thick guitar and keyboard barriers, mixed with tons of voices, just to uncannily land in some woods near home, calmly hypnotized by some hand made stick flutes. We like folk, we like drone, we like to hit electric guitars, we like overtone singing and we like the trees that cover us at night. Just sit back there and enjoy the music from the heart of the centipede." Ø +yn

caethua

caethua - the pleasures of manhood (night people 2008)

"...my stepfather, Robley Wilson, is an amazing poet, and a wonderful man. i wanted him to understand how important his words are to me, but also to collaborate with him, so i rearranged/adapted one of his poems to music. but there's also this deep cavern within me that is constantly trying to figure out manhood, my own and everyone else's. and so i thought i'd try to articulate that cave with "The Pleasures of Manhood." clare hubbard en foxy digitalis

"Caethua is Clare Hubbard, traveling songstress, multi-instrumentalist, and general exceptional artist and person. On the Pleasures of Manhood Clare gives tribute to her stepfather poet Robley Conant Wilson on this elegant tape of reverb soaked folk gems. One of Night-Peoples highest fidelity and most considered releases yet, The Pleasures of Manhood, has an uplifting but somber side that allows the feeling of Clare’s excellent vocals and playing to shine through." night people

antique brothers

antique brothers - sons of winter (abandon ship 2008)

"This album was conceived in the cold unforgiving days between the end of 2006 and the start of 2007. My brother and I were together in the land we grew up in for the first time in almost a year. We improvised acoustic duets, and over the next year, built a record around them. I like to think the spirit of our Mother was present during these sessions. Our Father was present in body as well as spirit. We thank him for opening his doors and heart to us, as he has done time after time since we have both left home on our own roads." antique brothers

miles devens - atlantic woman (pacific city sound visions 2008)

"New limited cassette on The Skaters own New Age imprint presents their first ever non-Skaters related release, a full cassette album from Miles Devens aka Belgian folk-blues loner Ignatz with a bucket full of his more off-the-map creations, all compiled and edited by Spencer Clarke of Skaters/Vodka Soap. Visions of Jandek, Incredible String Band, Comus, Nico, Witthuser and Westrupp, Henry Flynt and John Cale all flit through your brain as this great tape unfolds in drawls of ancient sounding organ, ritual percussion, slow bowed strings and that great narcotic Kosmiche feel that defines everything the Skaters get their hands on." volcanic tongue

"Peonies have become a real Melody Bar favourite with previous releases on Time Lag, Blackest Rainbow & House of Alchemy among others. This one is just as special. Two spaced-out lullabies with layered female vocals ushering you to a strange dreamworld and one ragged song that reminds me of Alistair Galbraith. Gorgeous." boa melody bar
