In this highly-anticipated , Paul Asaro and The Fat Babies pay homage to the recordings of InchFatsInch Waller and His Rhythm. Asaro, already well known to jazz aficionados for his long association with Leon Redbone, takes center stage here with piano and vocals that recall the humor, wit, and sublime piano talents of Waller without ever resorting to slavish imitation. With him are The Fat Babies, favorites on the Chicago jazz scene, who fully capture the spontaneous excitement of the original Waller recordings with a fresh twist. In addition to Asaro at the piano, the band includes Andy Schumm, cornet; John Otto, clarinet; Jake Sanders, guitar; Beau Sample, bass; and Alex Hall, drums. 14 selections including InchI Wish I Were Twins,Inch InchYour Feet's Too Big,Inch InchDon't Let It Bother You,Inch InchYou're My Dish,Inch InchBlue Turning Grey Over You,Inch InchTruckin',Inch and more.

Digisleeve. 2017 from the self-described German metal monster. With Endstrand, Valborg present their sixth full-length album in nine years, which is also their debut for Lupus Lounge / Prophecy Productions. Championed by Celtic Frost/Triptykon architect Tom G. Warrior as Inchabundantly original and uniqueInch and Incha mixture of Bohren und der Club of Gore, early Black Sabbath and HellhammerInch, Valborg creates dense, inventive music that escapes categorization. The trio's blunt, forceful songs are at once raw and primitive yet hold a nihilistic sophistication that forges clouds of nightmarish atmosphere, giving them a narcotic, dreamlike feel that very few bands achieve. Produced by Markus Siegenhort (Lantlôs), Endstrand is a 13 song end-time vision hosting apparitions of empty beaches, bunkers in the dunes, novel biological phenomena, washed up artifacts, noise distorted signals and omnipresent whirring, all of which float above the backdrop of Valborg's utterly barbaric death crunch. Forging brutal and wasted, yet powerful music, Valborg unleashes sound as scorched-earth policy on Endstrand, delivering an immersive mysteriousness and darkness that has earned the group the right to be called one of Europe's most exciting extreme metal bands.
