nick fortédefeated” long playing record

  • i exaggerate my own defect
  • glob mockery
  • pouring town
  • another kind of toil

  • born thorny
  • upended
  • a rag of pride
  • sketching the façade
  • under a dumb flame
april 2009 release ; third wodger, a solo lp from christmas decorationsnick forté, recorded live to cassette during the summer of 2008 ...

an impressively wide array of approaches, from clattering drum kit abuse, to segments of harsh noise, to company-week-lineage scrabbly improv, to the kinds of effected, arbitrary instrumental performance seen mainly in the “sound-art” sector (on a blind listen in a “listening room” context i would more likely guess this was something from the anton bruhin / alga marghen axis than anything contemporary - the cassette-master fidelity lends well to a certain timelessness) ...

comes in a 3-color silk-screened / letter-pressed sleeve, with a bright red “discojacket holding the lp inside ; highly recommended !!!

nick forté - defeated

nick from christmas decorations took a break from his many collaborations to hibernate in his mountain home with piles of instruments and electronics. tiny fragments of his voice turn up too.

bleakshaste, error” long playing record

  • pulse 92
  • pulse 116
  • short 152
  • pulse 47
  • pulse 188

  • long 1002
2008 release ; second wodger outing, covering the meeting(s) of christmas decorationssteve silverstein w/ chicago-area improviser kyle bruckmann & white/light’s jeremy lemos ...

largely synth-pulse oriented takes, rooted in a kind of early industrial sensibility ; kyle’s errant rising mijwiz reminds me a bit of 23 skidoo (as does the wash of echo-patterns & the occasional splash of clanging metal) & some of the more straight-rhythm pieces are peppered with the kinds of “gristleizer” noises you’d associate with the coum transmissions set ...

lp comes in a finely letter-pressed fold-over sleeve, with a chipboard jacket glued inside ; very well done !!!

bleaks - haste, error

steve from christmas decorations teams up with old friends kyle bruckmann and jeremy lemos, who both sometimes work on famous records and often make obscure ones of their own. driving rhythms and evolving drones. electronic mayhem collides with clanging metal and a mijwiz.

christmas decorationsfar flung hum” long playing record

  • rosin slip
  • turning into birds
  • astrolabe

  • broken leg hours
  • talus jitters
  • sceptered
2008 release ; first title from this lp-only imprint curated by christmas decorationssteve silverstein and nick forté ...

here the band follow-up their 2006 community library-label “communal rust(itself a follow-up to their 2002 kranky-label “model 91”) with a far more textural & free-limbed approach to group-sound dynamics ; popol vuh’s ghost is close-at-hand in spots (listen to the sound-sample) & the focus on drones & skittering, electronically-derived projections brings this much closer to the spectral assemblies of the laptop brigade (fennesz, specifically) than anything else ...

... comes as a 180-gsm lp, chipboard sleeve fastened inside a matchbook-style letterpressed folio ; an auspicious start for this series ...

christmas decorations - far flung hum

wodger's first release is the third christmas decorations lp far-flung hum. we recorded it in the catskills mountains in upstate new york in summer 2007. the outdoor sessions on the back porch were particularly fun and memorable. it's the first recording from our expanded quartet lineup, which allowed us to rely more on live performances. the letter-press cover looks a lot more impressive in person than on our site.
