About this product

If Izzy Hagerup's new album, 'System', feels immediately uncompromising it's because it was never really designed for public consumption. Released under her Prewn moniker, Hagerup describes the album as a Inchprivate journal made publicInch. Told across nine arresting new songs, the album chronicles a deeply personal journey through the darkness of depression, but one that's always undercut by moments of humor, selfishness and self-reflection, a push-and-pull that feels wholly distinctive.Following on 2023's 'Through The Window' LP - a collection of songs that Pitchfork hailed as a Inchstriking example of Hagerup's ability to sit with uglinessInch - 'System' finds Hagerup crawling even deeper into the dense folds of the night. Written and recorded solely by Hagerup, mostly in long stretches of bedroom sessions that found her working through the small hours until she began to hear birdsong, the album reckons with a lot of the thoughts that tend to needle in at that time of night; guilt, shame, and self-absorption, as well as the societal pressures that sit at the root of such things.From a bedroom floor in the middle of the night, through a tangle of cables and complex emotions, System grew into a document of disassociation, but it comes undercut with a sense of lightness when compared to what's come before. It doesn't surrender to the darkness, it dives into it with a keen and exploring eye and through the gloom it finds constant realizations of the wonder and appreciation of life. That journey holds a special kind of power. There's bravery in it, a struggle that never asks you to look away but instead to follow it down the rabbit hole. That it leads to a place of fascination is testament to the sheer force these songs hold; songs of hurt and heart, fear and fun. Album Tracks 1. Easy 2. Commotion 3. System 4. Only You 5. My Side 6. Forgot 7. Dirty Do

Prewn - Through The Window   - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Izzy Hagerup has been kicking around the songs that make up Prewn's debut album for the better part of a decade. It wasn't until the pandemic hit however that she really had the seclusion needed to complete them. With a chance opportunity to write and record at Kevin McMahon's (Swans, The Walkmen, Pile) Marcata Studio during lock-downs, she was able to focus without distraction, bringing her ideas to life. She describes the immersive time spent in the studio as Inchlife changing,Inch in large part due to the pure isolation where Inchcreating was the focus and I could really be alone, leading me to find myself more prolific than I ever thought I could be.Inch The results are staggeringly beautiful and triumphantly visceral. While the recordings have sat semi-completed, Prewn has grown to become one of Western Massachusetts' most in-demand bands. With full band recordings set to come in the future, Through The Window is an intimate introduction to the project, capturing a place and time, the songs urgently needing to find their way out. Album Tracks 1. Machine 2. But I Want More 3. Alive 4. Woman 5. I'm Gonna Fry All the Fish in the Sea 6. Perfect World 7. Sheila 8. Burning Up

Premrock - Load Bearing Crows Feet   - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Featuring artwork by Big Flowers, it also includes a hand-written 16-page lyric booklet. The CD version of Load Bearing Crow's Feet is the only physical copy with the InchBardoInch bonus track, featuring billy woods and produced by Evidence.Aging is a trip. People wear their years in interesting ways. If you find yourself mining your past through the traces of your face, you are certainly not alone. Choosing who you hitch your wagon to can be of utmost importance, and at the risk of being reductive, be careful who you F**k with. Remorse is always just a stone's throw away.Fittingly, this collaboration is coming for a long time. The history between New York artist PremRock and Backwoodz Studioz is deep, forged on hardscrabble cross-country tours, late Brooklyn nights, DIY showcases, and one very memorable wedding. This long association was formalized with Backwoodz of ShrapKnel in 2020 a rowdy collaboration between PremRock and Curly Castro that has earned praise from fans and critics alike. PremRock's solo LP Load Bearing Crow's Feet is a different animal, pensive and at times poignant, exploring themes as universal as they are evergreen. Bar-stool prophets, weary junkies, timecard punchers, and unrepentant grifters all share the same shabby stage, knowing all too well that the past is prologue.Buoyed as always by the redoubtable Willie Green, the backdrop is a diverse collage of the underground's vanguard du jour, led by tracks from Denmark Vessey, Small Professor, BrainOrchestra, Messiah Musik, Fresh Kils, Zilla Rocca, and Prem himself. A true-to-form Backwoodz affair features guest vocals from ELUCID, Fielded, Curly Castro, and Henry Canyons, as well as AJ Suede and cuts by Marcus Pinn-art direction by Kyle Tierce of Memetic Supply.This is not PremRock's first album but his most fully realized work, imbued with humanity, wit, and rare emotional depth.
