Manilla Road - Out Of The Abyss - Before Leviathan - VINYL LP

Vinyl LP pressing. In acknowledgement of the 2024 US election and the increasingly pressing question Where do clowns go when the show is over? The Residents present a brand new six track EP. Produced in secret during a pause in recording their next magnum opus album, the 'Dookietown' concept originates way back in the 1990s. For reasons that may or may not be relevant to the here and now depending on whose legal team are asking, the group were recently reminded of the project, and quickly revisited and recorded those songs as best they could remember them. Rush released for November 5th at The Residents' instruction, and complete with lyrics and introductory notes from Homer Flynn of The Cryptic Corporation, one thing is for certain.

High Roller Records, reissue 2022, 1st unreleased mix, transparent electric blue/ red splatter vinyl, ltd 250, 425gsm heavy cardboard cover, insert, mastered for vinyl by Patrick W. Engel at Temple of Disharmony.

For her second album with naïve, Zlata Chochieva has chosen a magnificent, audacious programme, associating Schumann, Ravel, Liszt and Bartók with the lesser known Draeseke and Schulz-Evler. Sensitive to nature and to the emotions it inspires, the Russian pianist Zlata Chochieva has conceived this very personal album as a patchwork, sometimes inward-looking, landscape with changing skies. InchA recorded programme is not a concert programme, but I also wanted to tell a story, propose a whole tapestry of emotions, open different perspectives, Inch she confides.
