About this product
Vinyl LP pressing. 2022 . In San Francisco's Mission District, there's a Victorian house with a garden full of towering tobacco flowers and rose vines so thick they're pulling down the fence. Every Sunday, for a great span of 2021, songwriter Sarah Rose Janko (Dawn Riding) would join producer & engineer Alicia Vanden Heuvel (Aislers Set, Magic Trick) there, to play guitar, sing harmonies, and hum lines for other instruments, before retreating to Alicia's basement recording studio (Speakeasy Studios SF), to roll tape on her Otari half-inch 8-track. This is how, week by week, Dawn Riding's record You're Still Here, was chipped out of the ethereal and into an expansive album of meticulously crafted and deeply captivating songs. It's an album steeped in intimacy and warmth, each song built with a level of restraint that leaves room for Sarah Rose's quietly fierce vocals and her powerful songwriting to sit front and center. Nothing is rushed and each song is presented almost as a vignette some with so much stillness you can feel the relationships, some that build from the heart's interior solitude into swells of emotional catharsis. You're Still Here is a songwriter's album and Sarah Rose Janko, in the tradition of great American folk musicians, is laying most of her cards on the table - endearing you to her portraits of American life, and leaving you thirsty for the stories that haven't yet been told.

Vinyl LP pressing. Slovenly Recordings zooms into a new universe somewhere between their trademark trashy echo-poonk and future-shock squalls with New Pleasure by Montreal quintet Priors. Hailing, scaling, and wailing from a long-scrambling Canadian scene whose rep is not as revered as it should be, Priors furiously scrunches together lacerating fuzz riffs, maniacal snare drum abuse, skittish analog shivers, and savagely scared shouting that's sometimes double-tracked into microchip-loose robot nervousness. Priors idea of 'letting up' is a quick drum intro like on 'Sunshine,' the power pop of 'At Your Leisure,' the half-minute instro-intermission of 'Life Part 2,' or, uh... Oh who are we kidding? They don't let up, and they don't kid. A frozen stare into some slate-grey abyss is their 'look' - two minutes of pummel, their 'sound.' Avoidance of nuclear war or any other waste of time their 'career trajectory.'
ELO songs were always coming on the radio when I was growing up. They were a reliable source of pleasure and fascination (except for Fire On HighInch which scared the heck out of me). With this album of covers I wanted to get my hands deep into some of the massive '70's hits but I am also shining a light on some of the later work (InchOrdinary DreamInch from 2001's InchZoomInch album, InchSecret MessagesInch and Inch'From The End Of The WorldInch, both from the '80's).Thematically, I identify with the loneliness and alienation and the outerspace-iness in the songs I chose. (I have always felt like I am part alien, not fully belonging to or in this Earth world.) Sonically, ELO recordings are like an amusement park packed with fun musical games with layers and layers of varied, meticulous parts for your ears to explore; production curiosities; huge, gorgeous stacks of awe-inspiring vocal harmony puzzles. My task was to try and break all the things down and reconstruct them subtly until they felt like mine.
