Ossining - "I Will Be Missed" Lp [Digitalis Vinyl]

digiv021: ossining "i will be missed" LP $15 / $18 / $26
Fresh from the sunny cascades that split the mountains into pieces, the duo of Brad Rose (Altar Eagle, The North Sea, etc) and Kevin Danchisko (Sovetskaya Gone) rip into the bliss that drips from synthetic space nebulae. "I Will Be Missed" is the first vinyl release following up a handful of cassettes. With nods to '60s Americana via laced cocktails and theoretical academic roots, Ossining takes this drag race to the moon.

"I Will Be Missed" collects three synth-driven underwater vision quests. Crystal sequences are force-fed through strings of filters resulting in flourescent, smoldering towers of muddy ambience. The idea is to make something inherently beautiful that sucks the air from your lungs resulting in a wobbly, unclear treatise. With the cracks smoothed over, each sharp jolt takes on a life of its own turning up the temperature and morphing into a pure white heaven. It's all hands-on-deck if you don't want to get dropped into the boiling seas below.

The flipside brings the lightshow to its peak, taking things positively solar. Backed by walls of bloop-infested waters and arpeggiated madness, the duo let the vocals fly. Each run through exudes an underlying tension searching for any hole to escape. As melodies loop and feedback on top of each other, the beginnings are consumed by the ends. Nothing is left to chance and nobody is hoping for perfection. In the end, Ossining deliver two sides of silver-soaked dreams blasted in a holographic glow. Mad men, the lot of them.

Vinyl only edition of 111 copies. Silkscreened covers (by VGK).

Sovetskaya Gone - Sashweights & Bags of Birdshot c25
AS24: Edition of 75
$6 US/ $7 CAN / $8 INTL

L.A.’s Kevin Danchisko certainly had an excellent 2009, carving out his own unique space in the world of synth music with several outstanding tapes on Digitalis Ltd. and Dial Square Tapes. On Sashweights & Bags of Birdshot, he proves that there’s plenty more in store for 2010 and beyond. Inspired by Kurt Vonnegut’s classic dystopian short story Harrison Bergeron, Danchisko presents three tracks that take the form of unhinged bliss, subtle melodic beauty, and textural creepiness. Blazing arpeggios lift off toward the sun as steam pipe filters hiss below the surface. It’s all swaddled in distinctly warm Sovetskaya production and should remind you to kiss the ceiling while there’s still time. With full color artwork, inserts, and labels by M.Y.

Digitalis Limited # 120: "air rings vol. 1" 4-way split 2x c40 $12 US / $14 CAN/MEX / $16 INTL

a new series of 4-way split tapes of nothing but synth music. no guitars found here. suffice to say, pretty damn excited about these puppies. volume one features a side each from each raven brother, oklahoma flight, and our favorite resident LA goon. in other words, tape one has spare death icon planting sparkling palms and blasting off toward jupiter while charlatan hints at new ground to foray and busts a cold one. tape two, though, smooths things over with sovetskaya gone searching for bliss in bright green clouds and million mists settles the score on a bed of well-composed synthetic syrup. just what you need for these cold winter days. edition of 100, pro-dubbed.
