Artist: LESCALLEET, JASON Title: Pilgrim Format: Picture Disc LP/CD Label: Glistening Examples Country: USA Price: $36.00 |
|
"An audio documentation of this electronics-and-tape artists coming to terms with the death of his father. The LP documents a performance JASON LESCALEET gave after discovering his father had terminal cancer; its floor-rattling flux of abrasive, low tones invokes the purr of a Chevys engine Lescalleets father discusses in a letter reproduced on the record jacket. A snippet of the final conversation he had with his father is buried in a heat-haze of tape hiss and air conditioner hum. The CD further extrapolates on Lescalleets fathers email; its 74 minutes move from dreamlike bell tones, through abraded, metallic hum, escalating into fierce, brutalizing waves of noise which then cut to a recording of Lescalleets daughter singing the Irish folk song "Molly Malone" at her grandfathers request. The book in which the CD is mounted has plenty more text and images. If you arent staggered by The Pilgrim, theres something wrong with you."

Artist: SHAKHNES, GRISHA Title: leave/trace Format: LP Label: Glistening Examples Country: USA Price: $15.00 |
| "Glistening Examples is proud to present “leave/trace," the vinyl debut of Grisha Shakhnes. Formerly operating under the name of Mites, Shakhnes has been recording and performing in Tel Avi, Israel since 2008. His work has been issued both privately in limited handmade CD-R editions, and internationally though Alamut Records (Jerusalem), Mystery Sea (Belgium), and Copy For Your Records (NYC). Consider "leave/trace" a graduation ceremony, as Shakhnes steps away from pseudonymity and into the bright lights of his own exceptional music. "leave/trace" offers a compelling display of musical abstraction, blending field recordings from peculiar and mundane origins into sumptuously detailed and surreally original new forms. Shakhnes is deftly able to capture and juxtapose otherwise overlooked details of commonplace events, placing his work at the fulcrum of contemporary tape music. Never overly literal, "leave/trace" instead allows the listener to find their own way through its compositions, granting rich reward for those willing to make the journey. “leave/trace” is a beautiful LP, published in an edition of 500 copies." -Glistening Examples. "This is unquestionably Grishas most convincing statement to date, and one which cements him in the frontline of artists to watch as the year unfolds. A fabulous LP." -Graham Lambkin, KYE Records. |
