maher shalal hash baz
c'est la dernière chanson
klp210 - 2 compact discs - 177 songs

release date: july 21st, 2009

the name maher shalal hash baz comes from the book of isaiah, meaning “plunder quickly.” tori kudo, their conductor and band leader, fuses stray elements of pop, folk, jazz and experimental music into pieces of candid musical gestures. c’est la dernière chanson [klp210] is compact and richly melodic; forgotten melodies played with a fragile trust.

c’est la dernière chanson is a double album of songs composed by kudo between 2005-2007.  for the recordings, kudo assembled nine musicians from japan and bunkered down for six days in st. pierre-eglise, france to record and rehearse before playing an atagatomuzi-k event in cherbourg.

in addition to his nine mysterious band members kudo also included a handful of local french musicians.  the output from these sessions was one of the most prolific recordings done by maher shalal hash baz; more than 200 songs were recorded and 177 are presented on chanson, kudo’s second release on k.

bassoon, guitar, drums, trumpet, trombone, clarinet, glass percussion, organ, rocks and sticks are expanded by a sophisticated counter-repetition technique into an extensive tonal range of colors; the effect is at turns serene, dissonant, enchanting, crisp, spacious and maddeningly catchy.  the future of music on planet earth.  listen closely, please.

arrington de dionyso
i see beyond the black sun lp

light passes through a prism and fractures to create a rainbow effect; the color spectrum breaks off from every angle. it appears as if the colors divide themselves, but in reality they bleed in together – overlapping and mingling. it is within this closely inspected area of bleeding and mingling that arrington de dionyso creates his latest solo work i see beyond the black sun [klp200].

de dionyso explores tones in terms of specific individual sounds, much like each minute shift of color across the spectrum. interchanging bass clarinet and throat-singing with homemade instruments used as vocal modifiers, i see beyond the black sun is less the apocalyptic doom of his ramshackle post-punk group old time relijun, but instead a raga influenced anthropological meditation. locating the tones between tones and the overtones within overtones – seeing beyond the black sun.

i see beyond the black sun pushes de dionyso's previous solo album breath of fire (2006) from a charcoal sketchbook into a technicolor landscape with more clarity, shape and definition. the album is structured with two immense bookends "aion" and "pluto in capricorn (i see beyond the black sun)." "aion" creates a rhythmic drone that specifies the rules for movements of the melodies on the album in a convergent up and down scale – continuing to climb the color spectrum ever so slowly. the gradient shift is deceptively hidden before exploding into color on the parenthetical title track. "pluto in capricorn (i see beyond the black sun)" – featuring a guest appearance by old time relijun drummer germaine baca – is the culminating cathartic conclusion, a propulsive mythical beast that combines all the previous pieces into a new separate entity where sparks begin to rise. it is the crossing over and the release.

"this music winds like an infinite snake around the vine of a central note, probing hypnotically as mr. de dionyso … inexhaustibly exhales mandalas, spirals, unknowable cuneiforms and other beguiling shapes, while simultaneously driving the pulse and drone to advance, like a slow motion tsunami, towards a shocking climax of release … crucial listening for those who want music and sound that reaches back into the center of your head." - michael gira, angels of light/swans

atlas soundatlas shrugged” seven inch single record

  • atlas sound - atlas shrugged

  • dub narcotic - “shrug-a-dub” mix
august 2008 release ; think what you will of deerhunter’s quick rise / slow descent, but you can’t deny that bradford has been succeeding where hundreds of thousands of aoleton-live™ users have been failing via his solo atlas sound guise ...

this, his first bit of solo music improvised in a proper recording studio (calvin “has ruined rock for an entire generation” johnson’s dub narcotic) works a nice, playful lilt ; something like a suburban, teenage version of esg. johnson then overlays errant melodica and tape-cue on the flip ...

catalog number: dbn113
format: 7”
release date: august 5th, 2008
file under: alternative

limited to 1000
copies 2 song 7 inch
in march 2008, while atlas sound toured the u.s.a., chief atlas provocateur bradford cox stopped off in olympia, wash. to lay down some tracks at the dub narcotic studio for this stellar disco plate release. entirely off the cuff, bradford made up the song on the spot, played all the instruments and improvised vocals. the session was engineered by calvin johnson, who in his guise as selector dub narcotic added his own flourishes, vocal and melodica, mixed the arresting b side "version". another instant classic in our dub narcotic disco plate series of 7" 45 rpm records.
