Sleepyard - Head Values - VINYL LP

Walter Steffens - Guernica & Other Paintings [COMPACT DISCS] date 05/25/2010

The world is looking forward to seeing Paris's Notre-Dame restored to it's familiar physical glory. In the meantime, the musical joys of the great cathedral can be experienced with the singers of it's choir school, Maîtrise Notre-Dame de Paris. Backed by more than 800 years of choral tradition, the Maîtrise offers training and performance opportunities to talented children, teenagers and adults. On Cathédrale d'émotions they and the professional singers of the Ensemble vocal de Notre-Dame de Paris perform music that spans the entire history of the cathedral, including works premiered at Notre-Dame in the 21st century.

In the wake of B*tch Magnet and current of Superchunk, Sooyoung Park and Mac McCaughan formed a raw version of Seam in the summer of '91. With bassist Lexi Mitchell, the trio banged out an album and two singles worth of shambolic dream pop in the sweltering Chapel Hill heat. Ten songs of talk-whispered vocals, sloshing guitar solos, scattered snare rolls, Velocity Girl's Sarah Shannon, and the original version of Codeine's slowcore classic InchNew Year's,Inch on LP for the first time in 30 years.
