february 2011 release ; killer tape / lp combo set of sean mccann’s increasingly divergent music (while, yes, there’s a fair bit of his trademarkorchestralrising drone work, the deviations into almost henning christiansen-esque slow-mo field recording / concrète work are admirable ... listen to the sound-sample for a bit of that ... then a straight chiming float-void) ...

zorn07 sean mccann - the capital (lp + cs)

second vinyl release "the capital" by rising drone-star sean mccann. these all new recordings prove - once again - his ability to keep his stretched out & richely textured ambient drones right on track. the a side opens with synth spirals and exstatic sounds, there's no going back now. b side is full of violin explorations and lo-fi fieldrecordings. this is an amazing effort by one of earth's most promising musicians.

 sean mccann really sets the bar for how far a one-man project can really go, and gives the feeling of a complete orchestra with his music. with cassette releases on just about every backyard label imaginable, sean mccann has received recognition almost to the extent of masters such as yellow swans or merzbow, and rightfully so.

cover painting by lorien stern. mastering by anders peterson.

 limited to 300 copies. first 125 orders come with a bonus c32 cassette.

as-003 - sean mccann - "sincere world" lp

listening to new work from sean mccann is always an exciting prospect. go far back into this young pioneer's catalog and you'll without a doubt uncover a collection of music as diverse as it is long. what you may also notice is the consistency with which sean portrays himself.

his music is always fearless, frank and personal. sincere world is another turn toward sean's signature earnestness. open resolve and the capital, both cleverly laced with swirling filter manipulation and confounding superimposition of manic and sloth-like compositions, exposed us to a more playful side of mccann's persona.

these works are on the surface a bit zany, but deeper down they still maintain a charming character — something that draws the listener in magically. sincere world is the somber younger brother to these two. sincere world is adrift on badalamenti-like lethargy, skeptical of the world around and unsure of what to do about it.

but despite his bashfulness, he is every bit as charming and perhaps even more so, for there are no rough edges on him. in six movements, sean takes us from under the bed to behind the bleachers and finally, to the bottom of the sea. recorded mostly in 2009, sincere world has after two years in hiding, finally mustered the audacity to come out into the open. this is the world sean mccann lives in, and i want to do everything i can to live there too.

sean mccann
"pages of shadowlife" c38

another crucial set of new material from one of the most prolific and consistent artists around currently. coinciding with about 500000000000 other current releases, all amazing, i am proud to present "pages of shadowlife", the second release on chm for sean mccann. at this point, little needs to be said about sean's style. his ability to create sound-worlds of accurate size and detail every time he presses record is uncanny. each track seems to siphon in and capture every single feeling or thought that was experienced on earth while he was recording it. this particular set is more guitar-based than most mccann outings, and is yet another testament to his seemingly endless brilliance.

edition of 100, full color covers and labels!

orange milk (usa) #om 007 lp

sean mccannopen resolve” long playing record

  • scapula (5:43)
  • cottage coffee patch (6:44)
  • broken replicator (5:59)
  • dissolving memory (3:08)

  • pass away (17:34)
  • still the same (3:44)
august 2011 release ; ... i believe this is a first - a trifecta - vinyl reissue of a cd reissue of a tape (that’s stunned --> roll over rover --> orange milk if you’re keeping score at home) ...

the reason for all of this re-re-re-upping ? arguably sean’s finest outing, starting with a hell of wallop of group-mind improv, replete with some excellent free-jazz drum-bash & sean’s electro-acoustic post-production touches, recalling a tony conrad / chris corsano jam-session ... from there the waves of treated, chugging sustained violin creep in, getting more & more aggressive until receding into a solemn wave of lullaby-lineage tone gathering ...

the flip gives us an extended 17-minute musique concrète piece, rife with endless layerings of location & environmental sonorities, laced with errant piano & further free-drum flourish before a quieter, vari-speed gated filter-drone closes things out ... it’s rare that geoff & i fully agree on a record these days, but this one had both of us remarking throughout, “this is pretty damn great” ... a perfect mccann starter-kit & even better for those of us that have been keeping tabs on him all along ... highly recommended !!!
