Al Scorch - Circle Round The Signs - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

2019 . After releasing 2016's critically acclaimed Apocalipstick, Cherry Glazerr spent the next 18 months touring the world on their own steam. Between DIY All Ages venues, rock clubs, large festival stages, and massive theaters with some of the world's best and most beloved bands (The Pixies, Flaming Lips, Slowdive, and The Breeders, among others), the band has really only stopped to work on their follow up, Stuffed & Ready. While furiously building the band's sound and ideas, front person Clem Creevy enlisted Carlos de La Garza to be the band's studio co-collaborator as they evolved the songs and refined the recordings.

Fans of Medeski, Martin and Wood will love Ken Clark Trio's InchEternal Funk.Inch Ten super-charged numbers are delivered with full-on funk by Boston based keyboardist Ken Clark who seduces each soulful groove from his Hammond B3, while Mike Mele's electrifying, free form, jazz-infused explorations on guitar amaze and excite. Steve Chaggaris' syncopated rhythms drive throughout, weaving a spellbinding journey for the listener. Edge, mood and soul, InchEternal FunkInch is an essential for all fans of B-3 groove and soul.

A collection of landmark recordings of residents from the Africatown neighborhood in Mobile, AL, Ancestor Sounds features descendants from the Clotilda, the last ship to bring enslaved people across the Atlantic to America. Conceived by GRAMMY-winning producer Ian Brennan (Tinariwen, Ramblin' Jack Elliott) and filmmaker and photographer Marilena Umuhoza Delli, the project features accompaniment from the local community as well as ambient recordings from the factories that surround and pollute the community. Meant as an impressionistic document rather than a definitive historical narrative, it was captured on-site as live, first takes. The outdoor nature of the recordings graphically renders the encroaching and ominous industrial sounds and foregrounds the environmental racism that has plagued the community. These surprising and often arresting Inchancestor soundsInch resonate across centuries and continents on this important, irreplaceable document.
