Day by Day - Dust And Ashes - VINYL LP

With InchThe Fall Of All ThingsInch the Doom veterans Dust from Bielefeld hit us with their fourth album and tear everything down without any compromises. Their ultra-heavy mixture of doom, metal, sludge and rock with lots of corners and edges wafts out of the speakers in the form of five overlong songs. The production captures the irrepressible energy and the earthy sound of the foursome gives the listener a pasting with the power of a live show so vehemently, that you're immediately up for a secret basement show where the plaster crumbles from the ceiling. This bastard from Sludge and Stoner rolls angrily over you and announces the end of all being. Even after 20 years Dust are a guarantor for infinite heavyness, downright the epitome of heavyness. The vinyl version of the album is correspondingly heavy, with special details such as bronze foil printing on the thick cardboard cover, the 180g vinyl completes the package.

All analog lacquer by Bernie Grundman. Liner notes delving into the history of Hamilton and this special album.Bobby Hamilton founded the band Anubis in Syracuse, New York, and they put out their awesome 'Ecology' single on Charles Bazen's Salt City imprint. It's a highlight on the Soul-Cal anthology Now-Again issued in 2012, something akin to Terry Callier and Gil Scott Heron's most soulful works. Shortly after issuing that single, Bobby put together the Bobby Hamilton Quintet Unlimited and recorded and issued Dream Queen in 1972. The last clean copy Bobby Hamilton had, he sold to the musician Jamie XX in 2021 for a princely sum. Few originals will ever surface again - it's original run of 500 units having disappeared into the ether decades ago. This is your chance to hear a masterwork of deep, spiritual jazz lacquered directly from it's original master tape in an all analog transfer by the legendary Bernie Grundman. Dream Queen's story is told for the first time in extensive liner notes by Torii McAdams. Dig deeper and expand.

Accessory is the solo project of Jason Balla (of Dehd), a Chicago-based songwriter and multi-disciplinary artist. Their work centers on the conflict between optimism and melancholy, holding their seemingly infinite weight with equal perspective and grace, pointing to their correspondence through curious and complex melodic experiences that mimic the tension of the natural and digital world. Their debut album Dust is where the celestial meets the molecular. Angels, shooting stars, and lightning converse with blood, serotonin, and calcium. In an era of live- streamed pain and overwhelming apathy, Balla composed these songs to put their world in order, to get to the human heart of it all, processing the decay for himself and for anyone else feeling the ache of pessimism and hopelessness.
