important press release...
long-delayed 3rd album by internationally acclaimed solo artist rivulets. featuring guests jessica bailiff (kranky), chris brokaw (codeine, come,the new year), christian frederickson (rachel's), fred lonberg-holm (boxhead ensemble), & bob weston (mission of burma, shellac).

the contributions of these remarkable musicians adds snowy layers of wintery texture to nathan amundson's beautiful recordings. like nick drake smothered not with layers of orchestration, but subtle textures to truly compliment the mood of the album.

rivulets is the project of minimalist singer-songwriter nathan amundson. born in colorado, amundson grew up in alaska before leaving home at age 16 and moving frequently throughout the united states. he started performing as rivulets in 1999, and currently resides in bloomington, in.

rivulets is a prolific songwriter, with releases out on several labels, including acuarela, bluesanct, silber, and chair kickers' union. this is rivulets' 3rd full length album, and 1st for important records.

rivulets' first 2 full-length albums, r i v u l e t s (2002) and debridement (2003), were both recorded by alan sparhawk of low, and released on low's own label chair kickers' union. these albums feature guest appearances from the likes of jessica bailiff , ld beghtol (magnetic fields), jon derosa (aarktica), marc gartman (no wait wait), brian john mitchell (remora), aaron molina (if thousands), and mimi parker (low).

extensive touring overseas has garnered rivulets intensely loyal fanbases across europe. we're hoping this, rivulets 1st album on important records, will help the us to take notice as well. a few of the artists rivulets has shared bills with in the past include: haley bonar, chris brokaw, cerberus shoal, cocorosie, mark eitzel, daniel johnston, low, mirah, my morning jacket, the new year, scout niblett, piano magic, radar bros., stars of the lid, songs: ohia, swearing at motorists, willard grant conspiracy, shannon wright, and xiu xiu. rivulets' discography also includes numerous compilation appearances and several eps: the aforementioned thank you reykjavik ep on bluesanct; the alcohol eps on silber; the rivulets / marc gartman split cd (featuring jarboe of swans) on tract; and the you've got your own ep on acuarela (the bestselling ep acuarela have released, out-selling eps by the album leaf, the clientele, and tara jane o'neil!).

this is not a folk album. this is an album about hearts breaking, tearing it down, and moving on.

kranky press release...
artist: jessica bailiff
title: feels like home
catalog #: krank097
formats available: cd
release date: july 10, 2006

feels like home balances the more accoustic approach to jessica's songwriting on her most recent (untitled) album with the blissed electricity found on her earlier material. gossamer vocals hover over delicate melodies, accented by tasteful bits of percussion, piano filigrees, and sundry guitar sounds. feels like home is the most refined example of jessica bailiff's musical vision to date.

it's the first full length of solo material from jessica in 4 years but she's been doing anything but taking a break. check her fruitful collaborations with dave pearce (as clear horizon), rachel goldstar (as eau claire), and jesse edwards (as northern song dynasty), as well as a featured appearance on odd nosdam's latest album where she made vocal and instrumental contributions.

clear horizon “clear horizon” long playing record

  • watching the sea
  • death's dance
  • for days
  • sunrise drift

  • millenium blues
  • distortion song
  • a child's eyes
  • dusk
  • open road
again, one of the things i love about kranky: nowhere in the press release below do the words “flying saucer attack” appear (despite the fact that this record is essentially a fcollaboration between david pearce and kranky mainstaple jessica bailiff).
kranky press release...
artist: clear horizon
title: clear horizon
catalog #: krank062
formats available: cd / lp
release date: nov. 17, 2003

suffused with folky textures and bleached white noise (often simultaneously), the clear horizon album collects the band's first formative recordings. both bailiff and pearce contribute vocals and guitar, with piano, various effects and occasional percussive elements entering into the mix as well. although the resulting nine songs do embody some of each member's trademark sounds; something strange, interesting and new seems to have developed in their fusion here as clear horizon.

kranky press release...
artist: jessica bailiff
title: jessica bailiff
catalog #: krank054
formats available: cd / lp
release date: october 21, 2002

call it jessica bailiff, untitled or anything you want; the third album from jessica bailiff exceeds the promise of her first two albums. simultaneously clearer and murkier, it features a more acoustic focus and experimental sound placement.

recorded at home with help from jesse edwards (red morning chorus) and former bandmate noel keesee, the album was realized between sept. 2001 to feb. 2002. two songs feature the violin-uke (most notably the stark "hour of the traces"), there is a tin whistle on a few tracks, piano, a few computer fx, drums, smeary guitars and even sitar.

jessica bailiff describes her new album as being about "...stagefright, dreams, loss of creative energy/desire, love & time, living in the same place all your life, ghosts, near-death experiences, etc..."

after recording two albums with the members of low, jessica bailiff has created a direct, stripped-back album that showcases her strengths in both songwriting and arragements.

you’ve come a long way, baby...

2004-2005 roster-spanning double-cd overview from by far the most consistently appealing american record label since vanguard (ok... maybe finnadar)... yes, the price is correct, this is a double disc priced at $4.81. no reason to sleep on this one (at least until after you’ve acquired a copy and are all set for appreciation in your favorite chair/isolation tank).

i’ve got two pieces on here, one is the “psych” song from “antithesis”, the other is a rough version of a piece that will appear in a mildly transfigured state on “multiples”. plus you get an alternate version of one of greg’s “somnia” pieces, a brand-spanking new stars of the lid epic, and a smattering of jams from the last 10-odd kranky releases.

there’s never been a better time for the sort of horizontal-application sound-research that the kranky-label excels in...
kranky press release...
artist: various
title: kompilation
catalog #: krank077
formats available: 2xcd
release date: nov. 1, 2004

we'll provide the context — two compact discs filled with twenty one tracks. over 148 minutes of music. brand new music from pan•american. a preview of forthcoming albums from stars of the lid and keith fullerton whitman. an exclusive mix of an album track by greg davis. all priced cheap at less than the cost of a cd ep.

it's been years since there's been a kranky sampler (and that one came out in europe only) so it's time to show what we've been up to for the last few years. way back when compilations like pillows and prayers and wanna buy a bridge? inspired us to check out tons of bands. hopefully kompilation can perform the same function for today's fans.
