Todd Rundgren & Utopia – Live at the Old Waldorf

With unrivaled stylistic sweep, musicianly chops, and depth of repertoire, Todd Rundgren & Utopia were a must-see concert draw in the late ‘1970s. This Double-LP release captures an August 5, 1978 date at the Old Waldorf in San Francisco, right at the start of a nationwide tour. Earlier in the year, Rundgren had assembled an all-star band for residencies at the Bottom Line and The Roxy. Performances from those dates, plus an August 23 Utopia show, supplied the material for the live album Back to the Bars. Live at the Old Waldorf includes seven songs that did not appear on Back to the Bars, including four songs from Oops! Wrong Planet. Also includes Utopia backing Rundgren on songs, Like “Black and White” and “The Last Ride,” from which they were absent on Back to the Bars. Pre-order this limited edition color vinyl set from Real Gone Music now!

Moon Temple — I & II

Moon Temple is Gabriel Andruzzi. You may know him as the bass player/sax guy/engineer of a well known defunct, NYC band. This well-polished piece contains 9 tracks of delicate interludes, acid stompers, and weirdo spastic mechanical marches. There is no way to know if this release will end up in a big room, a sweaty basement, or a museum. Not only does it sound good, but there is a visual aspect too. Both I and II 12”s (pressed on 45) are packaged in beautiful silver foil op art by Moscow’s Art Crime.

HEXA – Factory Photographs

HEXA is Lawrence English and Jamie Stewart. Factory Photographs is their soundtrack to David Lynch’s evocative exploration of the passing of the industrial age.

In 2015, Brisbane’s Gallery Of Modern Art presented David Lynch : Between Two Worlds, a major retrospective of Lynch’s works across painting, sculpture, installation and photography.

To celebrate the retrospective curator, José Da Silva ,with David Lynch and his studio developed a number of commissions in conjunction with the exhibition. One of these commissions was HEXA’s sonic response to David Lynch’s Factory Photographs.

When asked recently about his decades’ long interest in photographing factories in various states of disuse, David Lynch remarked “I grew up in the north-west of America where there are no factories at all, just woods and farms. But my mother was from Brooklyn, so when I was little we used to go there and I got a taste for a certain kind of architecture and a feeling for machines and smoke and fear. To me, the ideal factory location has no real nature, except winter-dead black trees and oil-soaked earth. Time disappears when I’m shooting in a factory, it’s really beautiful.”

King of the Tramps — Cumplir con el Diablo

Cumplir con el Diablo cover art

King Of The Tramps is an original roots-rock group, based in Auburn, IA, whose sound calls upon influences from modern roots rock, rhythm and blues, rock and southern, country rock. Their sound has been described as “Whiskey Gospel”. The band has released three albums of original music, Good People in 2011, Wicked Mountain in 2013, and Joyful Noise in 2014.

The King Of The Tramps live show is a foot stompin’, hand clappin’ rock and roll gospel party, with plenty of crowd participation. The band is comprised of Todd Partridge on Guitar and vocals, Justin Snyder on Guitar and Mandolin, Adam Audlehelm on Keys, Ryan Aum on Drums and Ryan McAlister on Bass.

With Cumplir con el Diablo, the 4th album from the group, the tramps show that their “Whiskey Gospel” sound has more energy than ever, and their stories ring as true and hard as life on the road. The record features 9 songs and one bonus track. Cumplir con el Diablo is about the general themes of being mired in the overwhelming personal quagmires and external hypocrisies’ that pull us all down on a daily basis. Translated, the album title means “Meet the Devil”, it is intended in the universal sense, as in “The devil is in the details”, or “Having a devil of a time”.

Carolina Eyck with American Contemporary String Ensemble – Fantasias for Theremin and String Quartet

Eyck composed these six Fantasias specifically for the 12” vinyl LP format, a practice reminiscent of early-60s Nonesuch releases. All performances were recorded in full takes with no editing. American Contemporary Music Ensemble (ACME) tracked Eyck’s scores first, and then Eyck overdubbed her deft, fluid, single-take improvisations—thus the fitting title Fantasias. The result is an organic virtuosity that leads the listener through a wide range of sonic environments across the six pieces.

Eyck’s striking theremin performances on Fantasias showcase her dead-aim intonation, her command of microtonality, her fluid melodicism, and—perhaps most importantly—her utter lack of self-consciousness as an improvisor. This latter quality is no accident, as Eyck has practiced improvisation for years, and has even studied techniques typically aimed at athletes for entering flow-states and shutting down critical inner dialogue.

Sadler Vaden- Self Titled

Sadler Vaden cover art

Pop guitarist Sadler Vaden‘s Self Titled (and self-released) album is a follow up to his 2012 album Radio Road, on which he played all instruments. Following stints with Jason Isbell’s 400 Unit and Drivin n Cryin, this new album employs producer Paul Ebersold and guitarist Audley Freed.

M. Geddes Gengras – Interior Architecture

Interior Architecture cover art

The latest from Los Angeles synthesis figurehead M. Geddes Gengras consolidates his entire arsenal of techniques and compositional tricks into a four-sided opus of immersive sound worship. Recorded and assembled across six years and far-flung geographies (California, Connecticut, The Netherlands), Interior Architecture was imagined as an “impossible object,” simultaneously stark and lush, sprawling and concise, analog and digital. Gengras’ array of processing modules allow for a near-infinite complexity of texture and movement: tones rise and morph and recede, inscrutable chords float in space, elements integrate and then refuse resolution.

Long-time associate Seth Kasselman guests on clarinet throughout Side C but otherwise “Architecture” is, as per usual, a solitary affair – the rogue alchemist alone at his mainframe, the laboratory thick with smoke. His is an ambiguous and experiential form of tactile psychedelia, electronic rorschach tests for the 21st century. Gengras’ own assessment is suitably consuming: “At its best it should feel like sinking into really warm quicksand or dying of hypothermia.”
