About this product

Will Butler has been a member of the band Arcade Fire for over 10 years. This is his first under his own name. Policy is American music - in the tradition of the Violent Femmes, The Breeders, The Modern Lovers, Bob Dylan, Smokey Robinson, The Magnetic Fields, Ghostface Killah. And John Lennon (I know, but it counts). Music where the holy fool runs afoul of the casual world. Policy was recorded in one week in Jimi Hendrix's old living room (upstairs at Electric Lady Studios). Jeremy Gara played drums; other musicians contributed woodwinds and backing vocals. Most everything else was played by Will. The song structures are traditional; the arrangements are clean. The music is experimental only in that it attacks consistency as a requirement for sincerity.

Will Butler + Sister Squares - Will Butler + Sister Squares   - VINYL LP

Sister Squares are Sara Dobbs, Miles Francis, Jenny Shore and Julie Shore. What made them a musical unit was working with Grammy winner and Oscar nominee Will Butler. This is their self-titled debut album. The band emerged as collaborators from their origins as Butler's touring band, first put together to support 2015's Policy. While considering a solo record, Butler found himself turning to the band for feedback on lyrics and song structures, eventually asking Miles if they'd produce the album. From there, the music flowed. Will Butler + Sister Squares projects widescreen emotional landscapes with a warm, humane soul. InchLong GrassInch is like a Harry Styles song sung with 20 more years of life behind it, and the back half is a danceable choral record that showcases what Sister Squares bring to Butler's sound. InchIt came out uniquely ours,Inch Miles explains, Incha tiny bespoke musical bloom that can never be exactly reproduced. Those kinds of moments between us are embedded all over this album.Inch

Suuns - Zeroes QC   - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Montreal's Suuns possess a rare trait in rock music restraint. They use it like an instrument, which makes their debut full-length Zeroes QC as unsettling as it is wonderfully exasperating. It's immediately apparent in album opener InchArmed for Peace,Inch a track that starts off like a robot breaking down in a hot desert; the song's mechanic beat plods like iron-shoed footsteps as the melody of a wheezing synth mirrors the crackling sound of old transistors and circuitry being cooked in the sun. It's deceptively lulling, the tension almost unnoticeably wrenching up and up until the track unexpected.
