dekorder (germany) #dekorder 60 lp

ensemble economique “crossing the pass, by torchlight” long playing record

heat waves
vanishing point
to feel the night as it really is
everything i have, i give to you
sparks exploding, splintering blackness
somewhere, anywhere

october 2011 release ; ... nothing if not prolific, starving weirdos’ brian pyle has been dropping a fairly stellar set of idiosyncratic collage-pop lp’s & tapes for the likes of amish, not not fun, & agents of chaos over the past year (a huge body of work, most of it quite good) ...

... here he drops one for dekorder, getting closer to a “dancefloor” sensibility than in the past (808 feet & a clearer motorik sensibility seem to dominate ... even if the more cinematic tracks are more engaging - listen to the sound-sample for but one) ...

[060]
ensemble economique
crossing the pass, by torchlight
lp

it's an exquisite feeling, to taste the truth, to let it wrap you completely, to feel it's ecstatic warmth, to let it ripple through you, to let you feel life with every breath, as if day and night are colliding, and sparks exploding, and the sky turning deep red, and night falls like a blanket, and the wind is a soft whisper, and the dune grass are like blades, piercing blackness.

ensemble economique is brian pyle of starving weirdos and rv paintings. his solo project (hence the slightly ironic moniker) has previously released a cd on digitalis in 2008 and two recent lp's on amish and not not fun records. his music is highly narrative and cinematic mixing synth loops and electronic rhythms with epic organic structures. crossing the pass, by torchlight is the culmination of pyle's previous works presenting his most refined album so far.

rv paintings “trinity rivers” compact disc

river one (11:37)
mad river (13:35)
river two (16:16)

pristine disc of flowing drone-work from this starving weirdos related agglomerate; on par with organum’s “sphyx” in its squeaking-metal / wind-tunnel ambience ...

rv paintings
'trinity rivers'

rs-22
cd
edition of 500

new nature jams from the northern california peace crew. brian pyle (one half of the core starving weirdos duo) his brother jon, and their bro spencer traverse the twilight moon as rv paintings. 'trinity rivers' is a suite of three nocturnal jams, way heavy on the hypnotic vibe. wine glasses, holographic guitar circles and skittery drum lines unite to form a fantasy world- but not in color - all black and white with smears of metallic sliver. eno circa 'on land' with ellen fullman's long string instrument after a midnight swim on the ocean. this is by far one of the most beautiful and totally dark audio documents out of the weirdos camp.

rv paintings “samoa highway” long playing record

millions
round-a-bout bench on a cold, foggy day
mirrors
from manila to forever
as far as we could see

october 2010 release ; fine set of coastal thrum from starving weirdos / ensemble economique’s brian pyle & brother jon ... a bit smokier & perhaps more rustic than sw’s perennial energy-haze (even if stray moments do lift off into similar levels of clatter ; c.i.p. the sound-sample) ; the mix-buried twin drum-kit thrash throughout is a very nice touch, as are the musique concrète flourishes ...

rv paintings
samoa highway lp
the helen scarsdale agency : hms019

release date: october 26, 2010

rv paintings were born in california. humboldt county, to be exact. it is nearly impossible to imagine their origins being elsewhere since the brothers brian and jon pyle, who currently pilot rv paintings, constantly mine the metaphysical properties of their homeland through a heavy-lidded psychedelia. the redwood trees that majestically rise from the rugged terrain may have been one of the endemic objects that inspired rv paintings to "jam nature;" but humboldt county's other major cash crop -- marijuana -- cannot be far behind. as much as the pyle brothers channel a psychotropic animism through sound, their diaphanous drones and foggy ambient tangles spring from a schematic intelligence that belies any method acting of getting stoned and jamming in a room.

samoa highway is the second full album for rv paintings, following the nature jam transmissions of trinity rivers published by root strata in 2007 and a well-suited split lp with taiga remains from blackest rainbow. just as the debut payed homage to the rugged river system that cuts through forests and mountains of the region, samoa highway refers to the lengthy bridge that runs between two coastal communities in humboldt county, one of which houses a municipal airport. a swarm of drone guitars announces the opening of the record on "millions," with a shoegaze wash collapsing into rarified tone purity and bulging through a metallic buzz. field recordings of airplane take-off and firework explosions punctuate the undulating bleary smear of the pyle brothers' guitars. the result is one of levitation, even as rv paintings seem to be plugging their guitars and electronics directly into the moss, soil, and mycelia of the humboldt forest. echo-soaked flutes, maudlin strings, scabrous noises unearthed from the bottom of the pacific, and a cinematic arcs of guitar shimmer complete the beautiful and haunted miasma of samoa highway that falls somewhere between taj mahal travellers, organum, and the caretaker.

brian pyle may be best known as one of the founders of the starving weirdos and records his solo work as ensemble economique. samoa highway stands the first piece of vinyl published by helen scarsdale agency, pressed in an edition of 500 copies.
