heavy tapes (usa) #ht insayngel lp

insayngelinsayngel” long playing record

  • plastic ancestor
  • dig yer heels
  • lets not forget

  • hows it handle
  • black rock way
december 2008 release ; one-off between the rhythm section of sightings (jon lockie and richard hoffman) and excepter’s caitlin cook & calder martin ...

seeing as excepter’s strong suit has always been their array of squiggly noises &, conversely, sightings’ laser-tight rhythmic structures, this thing has pure win written all over it ... blasted-on-through fidelity helps keep everything gelled, and even when i’m not 100% entirely sold on caitlin’s occasional art-damage / tunnel-void delivery, she squeezes in/out some great cosmic-mantra moves elsewhere ...

tiny edition c/o mike & maya’s heavy tapes ; the last vinyl from them disappeared before i could get in an “eagle” - just sayin’ ...

insayngel s/t lp

edition of 500, full color printed covers

we saw insayngel play some time in 2008 or maybe the end of 2007 at glasslands. immediately we said to each other "this band needs to have a record out. let's do it." we talked to the band after the gig and they were down -- it was recorded, mastered by our friend todd cavallo, and sent off to the plant. insayngel is calder, caitlin, richard, and john. calder and caitlin are vizusa and used to jam excepter, and richard and john are the brutal rhythm unit of sightings. an intriguing combination of players to say the least, this lp brings a 30th century sound to the history of new york city. the locked, wrecked rhythms, desparate, gorgeous wails, and shredded, anxious guitars are symphonic, undulating, impossible. a serious now vision that impressed us deeply enough to be the first lp we've ever done.

art by calder, pressed in brooklyn, new york.

sightingscity of straw

catalog #: jagbr017
release date: april 13, 2010
format: cd

crafting a lasting personal aesthetic in the midst of our ephemeral music culture is as rare as it is cause for celebration. with the release of city of straw, brooklyn’s sightings can be counted among the few contemporary bands who have forged a unique voice amongst the racket. recorded over a number of months in 2009 at the ocropolis (oneida’s brooklyn, ny studio), the band’s seventh studio album becomes the crucible from which their grandest and most coherent statement finally emerges.

sightings has never presented a particularly welcoming façade and their sui generis music has perhaps been passed over by less discerning listeners over the eleven years of their existence, but throughout this they have created a singular body of work appreciated and touted by the likes of thurston moore and andrew wk. sightings will insist (and we agree wholeheartedly) that at their core they are a rock band working within the context of pop song-craft. as bassist richard hoffman told us recently, “i think everyone in the band tries to remember the value of minimalism. ultimately i think we try to write pop music, where there's no chaff and everything has a place.” with a deep reach beyond the spirit of their influence from greats like birthday party, dead c and jesus lizard, city of straw finds sightings working at the peak of their creative powers and is the perfect re- introduction to one of new york’s most accomplished bands.
