About this product
FOREGROUND MUSIC, the title of Ron Gallo's 4th LP, and debut for Kill Rock Stars might also be a suitable name for his own genre. In simplest terms it's the opposite of background music - unavoidable, urgent, in your face - Gallo's consistent theme is to confront, disrupt and sometimes even confuse people into a sense of awareness. The intention to steer away from apathy and self-empower by focusing on what we can control and make light of in a world designed to take it away. The guitar is less an instrument and more of a primal noise machine. This record is a challenge to everything and everyone, including his own self, who is holding back the progress of humanity (especially in America) into a more open, empathetic and collective unit - the words delivered with a punkish tenacity and lining even the heaviest topics with an ever-present sense of humor. It covers the full spectrum of emotion. This music feels like life feels right now. In his eyes, how could it not?

Originally released in 2013, the lone collaborative record from The Moldy Peaches' Adam Green and Little Joy's Binki Shapiro stands as a charming ode to the folk pop of the 60's. The album began to take shape when Green supported Little Joy on a South American jaunt a few years prior. Though the ten duets here muse plainly on failed romances and the ensuing emotional turmoil, they take on a surprisingly gentle, matter-of-fact tone. Built on breezy melodies and strummed guitars that are accented by subtle synth-work, the record highlights the duo's admiration for each others' work, making for compelling repeated listening.
Vinyl LP pressing. Peacemeal is yet another reinvention for Ron Gallo. Gallo exits the noisy confines of the garage and goes outside where there's no limit to embracing all aspects of himself. The result is a colorful hodgepodge of 90's hip-hop, R&B, weirdo pop, jazz, and punk. The sounds change, but the sense of humanity and humor is the common thread in all of Gallo's music. Mostly written and recorded during a period of self-isolation in summer 2019, it's an uncanny foreshadowing of the global situation that was to come and give all the songs a new meaning. This is feel-good music that attempts to confront and understand human existence. Ron Gallo just wants to be himself, destroy expectations and encourage you to do the same in a world that does just about everything to try and box us in - Now, eat before it gets cold!
