curt owen - 'home' // abu/bbjr - "everything/forever" // sex funeral/to the lovers, farewell - "split" / cassettes (personal archives)


curt owen – “home” 
some warped horns that almost sounds like synths. a mournfully sung piece, nice and subtlety accompanied, un-labelable by genre. smooth and textured. songs bubble, thrive, rise and fall organically. kinda like one of the guys playing with phillip glass hanging out at home and practicing his chops. a nice, sad piano track before a collection of warped speaking. plus a blast horn ending.   

listen : 'home'

aru/bbjr – “everything / forever” 
tribal rhythms under jagged guitar. kinda got that ‘apocalypse now’ feel to, like that drum heavy jam where the natives kill the cow as colonel kurtz meets his end. jammed out freely, some bleating morse code, drones, strangled melodic licks, there’s a dark feel under the surface, never shows its face fully. (extra points for weird transparent print cover/packaging.)

sex funeral / to the lovers, farewell – “split” 
sex funeral – loose jams, that build and fall back into themselves. the horns are heavy, they shriek and spit in a variety of languages and tones. scattering drums, organ or human bleeps, and some sorta strings maybe. free form and falling apart. like what the backing band for dylan’s ‘rainy day women #12/35’ played when bob wasn’t around.
to the lovers, farewell – more horns, slamming in and out of focus, fused by bits of feedback glue, looped and grinding along to meet a blasting noize frenzy, fast and freaked-out, fevered screams effected to death whizzing along

listen : 'split'
