march 2013 release ; revamp of this 2007 double-lp version of this essential set, containing the complete recordings of arto lindsay, ikue mori, and tim wright / robin crutchfield’s no-wave phenom dna ... contains a few extra pieces exclusive to this edition ...

in regards to the music and its affect on me upon discovering the first dna e.p. back in 1992 ::

i had arrived in boston with an armload of “hot guitar” records, the ventures, a little bit of derek bailey, etc... knowing full well there was a universe of music out there waiting to be discovered. unfortunately, the tastes of the majority of my classmates ran the gamut from zappa to... steve vai. desperately needing to fill the void i spent the majority of my time haunting the local record shops, memorizing their stock, reading liner notes... you know, learning.

one morning i skipped my “history of jazz” seminar & instead walked over to kenmore square, drank a very large coffee, then hit planet records. the staff there, surely at this stage annoyed with my incessant pestering, not to mention that of my music-school brethren (“do you have any records with, like, really weird guitar on them?”), in a pre-emptive strike, pulled out a frippertronics bootleg the moment i walked in the door & put it on... i of course bit, but while checking it out i noticed, on their “rarities” wall a copy of the first dna single, “you & you b/w little ants.” i knew the name from john zorn’s copious referencing, as i did arto’s from his myriad dalliances with “downtown” 80s new york music culture. at $20 this was by far the most i’d ever paid for a 7”, but goddamm if it wasn’t worth it in the long run...

i got home, shelved the frippertronics (to this day i don’t think i’ve ever listened to it !!!), sunk into my easy-chair, and spun the dna single... the opening 10 seconds of “you & you” (check the sound-sample to your left) was enough of a shock to my system that i literally fell over while attempting to re-queue the side, hitting my cheek on a folding office table (a scar i still have to this day) in the process.

i sat there and listened to the first side approximately 20 times in a row, just attempting to get my head around the scale of the thing; the synth / kick pulse giving way to arto’s downright explosion of guitar-scrabble punctuated only by his tortured vocal interjections, clearly lurching to and fro the mic...

i’d never, and still to this day, haven’t heard anything else quite like it. i fought my hard-wired musical sensibilities, forged after a solid decade of guitar & composition lessons, to understand just why this was so appealing; suddenly the slow-burn / arc of all of that fuzoid guitar shred & noodelry just paled in comparison to a single two-minute sustained burst of pure energy.

the path from hereon out wrote itself; other downtown art-punk bands (contortions, mars, etc...) to the free guitar of sonny sharrock & rudolph grey, to the free jazz of albert ayler & frank wright, to the composed complexities of kagel & lachenmann, etc... all because of one record consisting of the first two pieces on this disc, which also finally issues the band’s american clave single, their pieces from no new york,, a few rare compilation pieces, and a bunch of live material on disc.

obviously i can’t recommend this one enough; as a gateway-drug into rougher forms of music it really can’t be underestimated, but even if you’re a die-hard art-punk zombie, you can’t underestimate the sheer force of this music. essential.
no more press release...

new york's seminal no wave band, dna, makes it's highly anticipated american cd debut with this definitive collection of studio and live recordings. surviving two line ups over a brief four years; this highly influential, strikingly original and extremely under recorded band left a huge void in it's wake.

formed in 1978, brazilian raised singer/guitarist arto lindsay hastily assembled an international trio of non-musicians. robin crutchfield played keyboard and japanese-born ikue mori played drums. dna played their first gig within weeks and recorded their first 7" shortly afterwards. the ear of brian eno was quickly caught, recording them for the infamous no new york compilation alongside james chance, mars, and teenage jesus & the jerks.

before no new york was released, robin left the band after a total tenure of nine months. bassist tim wright had just left pere ubu, relocated to ny and quickly joined dna. with a new face, a new instrument and a new sound, dna recorded their classic nine minute ep a taste of dna.


dna toured the states and europe bringing their explosive live show to a wider audience. dna only released 12 songs during it's lifetime, and another 3 shortly afterwards on a european compilation. their impact was far and wide reaching. many musicians have sited dna as a main influence including thurston moore of sonic youth and the band blonde redhead, who appropriated their name from a dna song title.

this cd compiles all of the studio and many choice live recordings. of particular interest are the original lineup's 'early versions' of 'detached,' '5:30' and 'low' (which is closely related to 'a new low.') the unreleased studio tracks 'grapefruit,' 'police chase' and 'young teenagers talk sex' are heard here for the first time as well as live versions of the unreleased songs 'nearing' and 'surrender.' exclusive liner notes from byron coley, jason gross and glenn o'brien pack the 16 page booklet alongside many unseen photos and flyers.

frkwys vol. 6: julianna barwick & ikue mori lpcat #: frkwys06 / wcr004

frkwys vol. 6 features four pieces composed and performed by artists julianna barwick and ikue mori as part of a month-long installation curated by rvng intl. at white columns gallery, new york, ny.

when rvng accepted an invitation by white columns director matthew higgs to display in the all-purpose project space, we envisioned a venue to host a frkwys collaboration. the non-profit gallery's long-standing support for experimental music dates back to the noise fest, a nine day event curated by thurston moore in june of 1981 that featured many prominent downtown new york musicians.

keeping the institution's regard for nyc avant music in mind, we looked to ikue mori, a member of no wave anti-stars dna and pioneer of drum machine and software improvisation, and julianna barwick, an artist recognized for the ethereal loop-based vocal compositions of her 2009 florine ep and 2011 the magic place lp, to forge the focal point on our opening night event.

for the installation, a particle-board cubicle was custom constructed and placed at the center of the project space. the cubicle wall separated julianna and ikue to their respective seated work stations, while web cams captured the musicians at work / play and became interactive projections manipulated by video artist erik mika, illuminating this exercise in simulated engagement.

each of julianna and ikue's improvised performances on october 29th, 2010, were cut live to vinyl via portable lathe. on the album's june 14th release date, the set of four unique lathe cuts and an elaborate art book will be made available for offers on igetrvng’s website. the book features creative direction by will work for good and photographs from the two events by aubrey mayer and jody rogac.

julianna and ikue met a second time three weeks later at white columns, november 16th, 2010. this time the two musicians collaborated without an audience, cubicle, web cams, or lathe, but with past experience and spirit in place, an exercise in actual engagement. the four pieces of frkwys vol. 6 include two performances from the first collaboration and two performances from the latter collaboration.

frkwys vol. 6 is a shared release with the sound of white columns. the lp is available in limited edition, packaged in thick black jackets with a two-color adhesive wrap. all lps come with a 24-page black & white zine; the book features creative direction by will work for good and photographs from the two events by aubrey mayer and jody rogac.

right. so... “new york noise”, “new york no wave”, the “downtown ‘81” soundtrack, etc... ad-infinitum; these all exist solely because this, the original “no wave” comp, has been buried deep within the vaults of island records (antilles’ parent-corp), delgations on its reissue ultimately falling on deaf ears, red-tape ending up at the bottom of a well since... well, pretty much since someone had the idea of reissuing it on cd in the early 90s. there was a slightly moreso-than-this gray-area “reissue” on the “japanese” “off-note” “label” a few years back (which you were more than welcome to buy from other music for $39.99) - which is all well and good but...

...enter some brilliant soul (someone in the u.s. judging by the markings on the disc itself), wise enough to ape a perfect late 90s gorbushka-lineage russian bootleg (right on down to the liners in cyrillic!), did so... which means that fans of the whole art-school dropout meets max’s kansas city/mudd club/danceteria/cbgb’s thing can now derive their cues and fashion-sense directly from the source, instead of having all of that critical information (easily lost-in-translation) filtered through the sensibilities of u.k. “hipster 101” outlets such as soul jazz, etc...

putting aside what has become of the “no wave” legacy in the intervening years since its 1978 “year zero”, this still sounds like a gang of angry hornets just waiting for you to open your mouth; the firebrand is as warm as it’s ever been... even if you’re stick of the legions of clones, i urge you to witness the beast first-hand... this edition is not long for this world (for obvious reasons) so... don’t hesitate...
lilith press release...
one of the brightest and most famous projects of the entire punk/new wave scene, no new york was released in 1978 on island's sub-label antilles and became a total cult in the indie scene.

featuring some of the most incredible rule breaking bands of the underground new york art and music scene, the project--strongly pursued by brian eno--is a genuine snapshot of the massively creative nyc scene, from which innumerable trends started and became part of the modern pop music as we know it

influential, powerful and ground breaking, this collection features gotham city no-wave giants like james chance (contortions), arto lindsay and ikue mori (dna), lydia lunch (teenage jesus) and sumner crane (mars).

if you missed the original it's time to get your hands on this reissue.
