snacks - natural snacks - ehse 008 (10" picture disc)

for this record, snacks initially wanted to encode an interactive website of sexy dance music videos and lathe it into vinyl. included with the record would be an rca jack to telephone wire adapter so people could jam the album using their old 56k modems. the board of directors at ehse records unfortunately 86ed this concept leaving snacks to do a picture disc containing analog gastronomy, fights between the wait staff and the cooks, effluvial drum licks, persuasive percussion, tasteful guitar solos, non-ironic tap dancing, hot body squelches, vintage garbage, french primitivism, nocturnal grooves carved in avocado rinds, troublesome themes, slavic melancholy, uptight programming, neoist sequencers, ham-fisted mastering, laconic bass playing, pregnant lady booty tracks. picture window hand screened jacket around picture of pure record picture disc record.

fine lp of zonked vocal/electronic “songs” by the duo of jenny gräf shepard and chiara giovando. this feels like the lost companion volume to joan labarbara’s “voice is the original instrument”; fans of jessica rylan’s work and/or ruth white’s 60s mercury-limelight lps will find much common ground herein...

harrius - enter the cotton ring - ehse 005 (lp)

this brand new epic by jenny gräf sheppard (of metalux) and chiara giovando (of pcpcg) sits quietly for its real audience in the ages. both an alarmingly intense and hushed "noise" record and totally whacked "songwriter" record, if it needed a catagory, enter the cotton ring is an exploratory mack truck of left-hemisphere-manifestation-in-time.

unlike the majority of vocal-noise hybrids bubbling up lately, gräf and giovando refence neither sound poetry, nor metal (for the dudes) or jazz balladry (for the ladies) but instead a novel hybrid of dream-incantation, lieder and effects that electronics might achieve

but how? an unsettling mix of vocal wrenching and melifluousness, effected guitar twang fuckery and intuitive anti-system electronics, it'll send you on a rapid shuttle-ferrey on the space-time straits compells you to keeping chewing slowly. no cd issue or promotional tour on the horizon, just a psychedelic western recently shot in the badlands (no joke) for this will be part-soundtrack. grab while you can. twelve stars.

trockeneis - 5025 ad - ehse 004 (lp)

from the den of pre-scientific iniquity in which baltimore sound actors thrive on non-planning, the stately emergence of professional harsh acousticians in five-part harmony, a brash romp through the new frictionalism, the new spectralism, and the new ritualism.

bowing. rubbing. scraping. squealing. squeaking. screeching. moaning. silence. anything else. nothing else. sound fixations waiting to unfix in the act of observation/measurement.

go ahead, measure them. then flip to side b and watch your numbers float away in a muddy stream of ink. all sounds were made without electricity. it's portable music. you can easily move from now to the time when there was no emotion, just its precursors of permanently lingering urgency.

paul neidhardt, catherine pancake, dan breen, and andy hayleck caress their idiophones until they're lost in backporch lullabies of terror. audrey chen's voice also gets lost, swallowed by its mechanical half-kin and trapped into the shadow world of forbidden overtones. in the center we find a steaming hunk of dry ice, hosting the sounds of molecular frenzy at the interface of hot and cold. metal. wood. h2o. larynx. danger. safety. they say it's built into the limbic system.

blaster al ackerman - i am drunk - ehse 002 (lp)

this listener's prediction: the muffled voice of blaster al ackerman reading his "pepper young" translations with a presumed bar of soap in his mouth followed by tree frog belches will replace the sound of a passing steam locomotive as the poetic sounds of indescribable mystery and high lonesomeness.

this audio icon of the 21st century can be found on ehse records' lp release of blaster al ackerman's "i am drunk". and indeed at times he does sound drunk, but not just on booze, also on language and human absurdity.

featuring live as well as "studio" recordings, "i am drunk" also has two blaster classics that raise the humdrum world of the workplace to the giddy heights of philip k. dick in munchkinland - "the john eaton recommendations" and "the crab".

another prediction: copies of this album with its linguistic hijinks and squat and thrusts will be played far more times and enjoyed much more than any mothball enshrined caedmon lp of t.s. eliot or robert frost intoning.
