Spencer Thomas - The Joke of Life - VINYL LP

Limited autographed vinyl LP pressing. Cynicism is a little too popular right now. Winning arguments are more prized than finding solutions. It's all an unfair representation of humanity. Cynical Vision is my most modern record in sound and substance about the place we're in presently. I've turned some of our latest dooms into satire so we can look at it through honest eyes. We have- at least in our society- gone down a pretty wacky path and can't steer the ship right until we acknowledge it. I hope this record is cathartic and resonant while being lighthearted and fun. I made it with my friend and producer Nate Nelson who was a fabulous engineer while I had a ball playing most of the instruments. We didn't think too hard about it. We just made art for the times. Album Tracks 1. This Is Your Life Now 2. Hoeny Burne 3. Grab Enlightenment By the Horns 4. The World Is Fucked and I Love You 5. Video Farm 6. Honeymoon Suite 7. Jim 8. Reborn 9. Cynical Vision 10. So Lucky When the Music Plays

This Brooklyn trio combines tumultuous noise with enormous, triumphant melodies. Malfunctioning electronics howl in agony, drums rupture like fireworks, battle cries are belted through a monolithic layer of distorted bass and guitar. P&L revel in day-glo noise, charred drones, punk velocity, and Phoenix-like hooks; a unique blast influenced by the clamor of Husker Du, the bluster of Boredoms, and the homemade spirituals of Neutral Milk Hotel. This is a pop record that yowls like noise, and a noise record that captivates like pop. Album Tracks 1. A Great Divide 2. Drastic Measures 3. A Pleasant Stay 4. New Buildings 5. Death 6. Timeline 7. Repair 8. Stay Afraid 9. Springtime Hibernation 10. Changing of the Guard

SPENCER. / ARE U DOWN? VINYL LP - Born and raised in Rochester, NY, to chemist parents who presciently gifted him the middle name Miles (for Miles Davis), a career in music beckoned from an early age with 4-year-old Spencer. Lobbying his Jamaican mother and British father for trumpet lessons in tribute to his namesake. Rochester's rich and underappreciated creative scene nurtured his musical skills, and he won a place on a summer jazz program at the city's prestigious Eastman School of Music in his teens. A self-taught producer who has always recorded in isolation, he started self-releasing home recordings in 2018, and eventually dropped out of college when his EP Want U Back became a word-of-mouth hit. Now transplanted to the Brooklyn neighborhood of Bed Stuy, Spencer. #is a main player in a tight-knit and supportive creative community that also boasts Clairo, Snail Mail, Claud, Advisry, Binki, Cautious Clay and Triathlon amongst it's burgeoning talent. Written, recorded and produced by Spencer. #during the pandemic, Are U Down's 11 songs blend R&B, hip-hop, funk, indie, pop, jazz and soul to create a sound that feels both analog and digital, honoring the past whilst staying firmly in the present. Spencer. #has integrated neo-soul vocal fireworks, hip-hop flow and pop ambition into an album steeped in all the feels of a New York summer. Album Tracks 1. Byyyte 2. Lonely As I Ever Was 3.
