If you haven’t heard Angelo Spencer et les Hauts Sommets’ summer waverider, World Garage (KLP235), then hop on and get wet!
Here’s “3 Heures,” the album’s halfway point. What a ripper!
Melanie Valera and Christopher Doulgeris of Tender Forever spent many hours, months, nights and days this past spring working overtime to record their new EP Where Are We from [KLP237]. They divided their recording activity between our Dub Narcotic Studio here in Olympia, Washington, and Christopher’s Portland, Oregon studio known as The Den. The Where Are We from EP is about the journeys we take in life and how different paths can lead us to surprising places. Each song on the EP explores a different aspect of this idea - “The Road Was Unkind” was recorded entirely at Dub Narcotic. Melanie and Christopher both played a marimba-like instrument they found in the studio, a remnant of when Dub Narcotic was located in the same building as Musical Furnishings, an Olympia woodshop that builds marimbas into chairs, chests, tables.
If you need some winter soul fuel, mark your calendars: Where Are We From will be released on December 6, 2011. This EP is a succinct, beautiful beast and will keep you super toasty when you need it most.
The Pine Hill Haints rise out of dusty Alabama like a spectre to dance with shadows to the tune of their infectious ghost country. “I Wish I Was a Jack-O-Fire,” from their upcoming LP Welcome to the Midnight Opry [KLP236], captures the haunting timelessness of watching fireflies turn into stars.
Is there possibly a better way to enjoy an Oly summer day than by drifting off under the sun to the sweet sounds of Angelo Spencer’s “Gallop?” We think not.
Angelo Spencer et le Hauts Sommets‘ World Garage (KLP235) came out on K last month and since then it’s served as our perfect summer soundtrack.
