... in parallel to panasonic’s “kesto” 4-disc/album set from a few years back, the duo of john wiese and corydon ronnau here unleash, simultaneously, four separate albumsworth of music by their long-running sissy spacek group, featuring guest spots & remix-work from something of a who’s who of contemporary sound (tom recchion, kevin drumm, joseph hammer, damion romero, greg kelley, andy ortmann, smegma’s oblivia, mitchell brown, david scott stone, etc... )

each disc has it’s own feel / tempo ; the first consists of very short / dense blasts of (mainly) harsh noise & busy/active configurations ; the second is all quieter / sparser free improv ; the third two obnoxious extended feedback-worship freakouts ; and the fourth two performances of a through-composed piece of john’s ...

the thing is rife with head-scratchingly odd moments (kevin drumm’s bedroom metal-hero guitar tactics coming scarily close to mick barr’s solo work - listen to the sound-sample) but never stays in one place for all too long (save for the third disc, perhaps) ... highly recommended !!!

sissy spacek
california ax 4xcd
helicopter, h 50

up to this point sissy spacek have only released 4 proper albums, all of which could probably be squeezed together onto one cd. what we have in this release is 4 new full length albums recorded throughout 2007.

tinsel dripping ink (disk 1) is 26 tracks in 45 minutes covering all territory from grindcore, noise, electro-acoustic improv, musique concrete, noisecore, and electronics. it's primarily made up of new work, but also roots through the cutting floor for the best bits that didn't make it onto previous efforts for one reason or another, with a few tracks dating as far back as 1998.

police (disk 2) is 11 tracks in 40 minutes of electro-acoustic improv with girls on drums.

abreq ad habra (disk 3) gets it's title from an arabic phrase pre-dating "abracadabra" that translates "hurl a lightning bolt even unto death" which we'll choose to misread as "hurl an even lightning bolt until death." this disc contains the most raw recordings sissy spacek have ever released, the first being a 40 minute inferno recorded on kxlu and the second from a 20 minute live set in 2002 in st. louis.

13-tet los angeles (disk 4) is a live document of a 13 piece lineup that performed two sets at the smell in los angeles in december 2007 and is also the first live performance of a score by john wiese.

there are also many contributors to this set aside from original members of john wiese and corydon ronnau: mitchell brown, sarah cake, kevin drumm, gerritt, kate hall (mika miko), joseph hammer (solid eye), aaron hemphill (liars, skull sküll), jesse jackson (flaspar), greg kelley (nmperign), tim koh (white magic, ariel pink), danny mcclain (grand ulena), giles miller, oblivia (smegma), andy ortmann (panicsville), sam ott (the fucking angels), tom recchion (airway, lafms), damion romero (speculum fight), jarrett silberman (skull sküll, young people), dean spunt (no age), david scott stone (melvins, get hustle), and shannon walter (16 bitch pileup).

bruce russell / john wiesefronts” seven inch single record

  • californian front (4:26)
  • southern front (4:17)
collaboration between the dead c’s bruce russell (going through something of a renaissance @ the moment; almost as prolific as he was back in the mid-late 90s) and if-you-don’t-know-me-by-now-turn-around john wiese.

loving these short-sharp-shock collab singles between wiese & x - they don’t overstay their welecome & sate your “what if” beacons adequately. one of the better ones...
