march 2008 repress !!! (the set now comes in a triple-disc jewel box) ... kind of unexpected, actually, but of course entirely welcome ; the new arrival of this triple-disc collection of singles & compilation work from loren (mazzacane) connors, pretty much unavailable since the day of its release a few years back (i’ve never seen a copy until now ...)

a fantastic selection covering just about every avenue explored by connors over the last 30-odd years - whisper-quiet elegiac bedroom guitar, a few acoustic/bottleneck blues numbers, even archival recordings of his mother, mary mazzacane ...

an absolute treasure trove of material, much of it shorter, episodic pieces that don’t overstay their welcome. highly recommended !!!

loren connors
night through: singles and collected works 1976-2004
fv36 3xcd

essential 3xcd collection of singles by new york city avant blues guitarist loren connors, one of america's most unique and challenging voices. night through spans four decades of connors' recordings from the earliest acoustic session and first solo 7" -- ribbon o' blues on st. joan -- to rare singles issued by table of the elements, road cone, father yod, menlo park, gyttja, union pole, and others, to his late 90s band haunted house and recent acoustic recordings.

overall, three and half hours of music: 12 7" singles, private cdr releases, collaborations with suzanne langille and robert crotty, compilation appearances, and 22 unreleased pieces including a 1959 recording by connors' mother mary mazzacane. 24 page color booklet contains detailed notes and cover art for each single, never before seen photographs, an essay by renowned blues scholar dr. william ferris and commentary from connors, langille, road cone's mike hinds and others.

remastered from the original tapes by jim o'rourke, this is the definitive overview of connors' journey as the consummate solo artist from embryonic origins in new haven, ct to the rise as a monumental presence and spirit channeler. whether considered avant garde or pure spirit haunt, connors' guitar speaks purely from the soul in solo settings or with his revered collaborations with the likes of alan licht, jandek, keiji haino, christina carter, langille, o'rourke, kath bloom and john fahey.

"outside of derek bailey and john fahey, i've never heard such purity in guitar playing." -- jim o'rourke

san agustin with suzanne langille
passing song
fv9 cd ep

the new york city based san agustin has been performing with vocalist suzanne langille since 1997. the two have found an unmatchable connection in their expansive dialogue of impeccably matched twin guitars and percussion with the ageless blue moaned singing and lyrics. these six passing songs are meticulous flares, crafted in the highest order. slightly dissonant leanings and free spirit that is carried by a woman who has lived each word she sings.

excellent cd reissuing most of two late 80s lps released on connors’ st. joan label. superb soul-baring bedroom guitar and vocals...
secretly canadian press release...
it was 1987. loren mazzacane connors, not yet recognized by a world audience, had already recorded and released his 8 volume dagget series and his five albums with folk singer kath bloom. he had abandoned his guitar for a 3-year period, and returned to it with renewed vigor. he was not yet recognized as one of the great musical loners of the age (his future black label solo recordings and the eventual unearthing of the dagget series were the titles that would establish loren as such). he was, in fact, performing live and about to record some of the most potent recordings of his career -- recordings which may challenge any present notion of loren being a true loner at all. it was on these recordings that he first played with his future wife suzanne langille. together they performed langille-adapted traditionals and gospel standards, slowing them "down to a crawl." two albums were released on his own st. joan label under the moniker guitar roberts with suzanne langille, entitled bluesmaster 1 and bluesmaster 2, in 1987 and 1988, respectively (both issued in small runs of 200). this album represents the best of their material as a duo from those two records (there were also intermittant solo guitar compositions on both bluesmaster recordings), plus the one song they performed as a duo from loren's 1989 in pittsburgh full-length ("haunted house") and three previously unreleased recordings from the same period.

in her spare and "deeply considered" arrangements for these songs, suzanne allows all the room necessary for their collective personality to shine through, making for truly timeless performances. these recordings were suzanne's first to be released publicly. they showed a singer who was unafraid to push herself to lay claim to these folk tunes and make them her own, particularizing them with her own experience and thus imbuing them with a rare vitality. these recordings layed the groundwork for the work they would later do on the albums come night, the enchanted forest, let the darkness fall and with their new group haunted house.

after even a casual listen to the songs on this collection, it's quite difficult to imagine either suzanne or loren playing with another performer, or alone for that matter. the grace and intimacy with which they perform these songs together gives the impression that they'd been playing together since childhood. it's no wonder loren found so much fulfillment in playing music again.

suzanne langillelet the darkness fall” compact disc

  • strong and foolish heart
  • dear wind
  • a sadness in me
  • echoes
  • nothing at all
  • pale and paler
  • let the darkness fall
spring 1999 release pairing the langille/connors duo with san agustin’s david daniell and andrew burnes.
secretly canadian press release...
let the darkness fall is the return of singer / lyricist suzanne langille. she is once again joined by longtime collaborator loren mazzacane connors as well as atlanta's andrew burnes and david daniell of the group san agustin. the result is an intensely bleak, yet satisfying, musical excursion.

a much steamier affair than suzanne's and loren's previous concept album the enchanted forest, let the darkness fall showcases suzanne's lyrical intonation and her zesty, more sensual vocal style. her deep and throaty vocals parallel the doleful sounds of the trio on songs like "strong and foolish heart" and "a sadness in me."

the album is full of gently churning and ethereal moments which are steeped heavily in the musical and emotional concentration that only the wisdom afforded to veterans of this group's tenure can allow. loren's lone blue notes quietly escape to the forefront of the dual guitar weaving of andrew and david. six of the seven songs are darkly textured by the bending tones of what is often a three-guitar chorus.

let the darkness fall finds suzanne and loren entering their fourth decade of performance, while andrew and david are beginning their second. but does it offer a clear picture of where these artists are headed? perhaps. or maybe it's simply a month of frolic in the life of four fine musicians.

1998 release pairing connors with vocalist suzanne langille; a musical re-creation of the film the enchanted forest. as with all langille/connors work; beautiful...
secretly canadian press release...
based loosely on a story by john lebar and the 1945 film, the enchanted forest.
lyrics, melodies and vocals by suzanne langille.
chord structure and guitar by loren mazzacane connors.

after over a decade of appearances on loren mazzacane's albums, suzanne langille releases a full length of her own songs. the enchanted forest combines suzanne's celestial voice and lyrical talent with loren's crystalline guitar work. loosely based on john lebar's 1945 film of the same name, suzanne acts out the story of a lost child, a forest's impending end and those that try and save it, through the voices of six characters.

as on previous mazzacane albums, suzanne's soulful and blues-filled moans create burning holes in the hearts and ears of many during each song. loren's guitar stays at a constant whisper pitch throughout the album, his minimal chords and lone notes have never been this fragile. intertwined with suzanne's character expressions, the guitar mixes with the muted sounds of chirping birds and the feeling of the enchanted forest takes hold. reminiscent of the st. joan-era collaborations between suzanne and loren, these two have never sounded so brilliant.
