The Narrator - Phosphor - VINYL LP

Vinyl LP pressing. It is safe to say there is no other band like Yamantaka//Sonic Titan on the planet. In a world that is increasingly homogenized, a record like Uzu is all the more important for demonstrating how disparate cultural perspectives can merge into something entirely new while retaining their individual sovereign character. This meeting of East and West is perhaps most visible in Uzu's lead single InchOne.Inch

This is a very nomadic album, says Johnny Delaware. InchI recorded it in studios at home in Mexico City and on the road in the United States and in hotel rooms all across Latin America.Inch It makes perfect sense, then, that Delaware would call his new collection Para Llevar, which translates roughly as Inchto goInch or Inchto take.Inch Drawn from Delaware's years of journeying-both physically around the world and internally to find himself-the record blends elements of Laurel Canyon and Latin America with dreamy, psychedelic production to forge a mesmerizing cultural swirl that transcends borders and traditions. Delaware produced the record himself in addition to playing nearly all of the instruments, and the result is a deeply personal exploration of human nature through the eyes of an itinerant observer, an intoxicating meditation on the doubt and hope and fear and love and loneliness that bind us all, no matter where we call home. Born and raised in South Dakota, Delaware spent his 20s drifting around the US before eventually landing in Charleston, SC, where he recorded his 2013 debut, Secret Wave. The record earned glowing reviews, but it was another Charleston project Delaware helped co- found, Susto, that soon took center stage, garnering raves from Rolling Stone and Spin and landing tour dates with the likes of The Lumineers, Band of Horses, and The Head and the Heart. After moving to Mexico City, Delaware relaunched his solo career with 2022's similarly well-received Energy Of Light. 1. Jungle Full of Ghosts 2. Running 3. Sad Song 4. Stubborn Faith 5. Caution Darlin' 6. Incógnita 7. You Alone (are the revolution) 8. Darkness 9. Never Let Go 10. Mexico City Blues

In 1980, Genesis P-Orridge and Peter InchSleazyInch Christopherson of (then-)Throbbing Gristle travelled to New York City to meet up at the fortified apartment, known as The Bunker, of famed beat writer and cultural pioneer William S. Burroughs and his executor James Grauerholz. Genesis and Sleazy started the daunting task of compiling the experimental sound works of Burroughs, which, up until that point, had never been widely heard.During those visits, Burroughs would play back his tape recorder experiments featuring his spoken word Inchcut-upsInch, collaged field recordings from his travels and his flirtations with EVP recording techniques, pioneered by Latvian intellectual Konstantins Raudive. Over the following year, P-Orridge, Christopherson and Grauerholz spent countless hours compiling various edits, each collection showcasing Burroughs sensitive ear and experimental prowess for audio anomaly within technical limitations. In early 1981, Burroughs had relocated to Lawrence, KS to escape the violence and manias of New York City life. There, P-Orridge and Christopherson put the finishing touches on the record that would be known as Nothing Here Now but the Recordings.Released in Spring 1981, the album would end up as the final on Industrial Records, brought about by the dissolution of Throbbing Gristle. It was quietly out of print until 1998, when John Giorno and the Giorno Poetry Systems included the album on a retrospective CD box set, which compiled the majority of Burroughs's seminal recordings. In 2015, Dais Records worked closely with the Estate of William S. Burroughs to finally re- , for the first time in 36 years, a proper vinyl reissue of William S. Burroughs Nothing Here Now but the Recordings to celebrate the centennial anniversary of William S. Burroughs. For the 2023 edition, Dais has remastered the audio with renowned engineer Josh Bonati, and res
