Donovan Quinn makes the leap back into solo activity with Dad Was Buried in His
Leather Jacket, an EP of mostly uptempo story songs with character changes but
consistent stories throughout each song. Herein Quinn writes about those at the end
of a long series of parties, in the penumbra around the fun, just before all the
booze and drugs and casual conversation turn sour…
A large cast of collaborators help to create the atmosphere of trouble hiding behind
fun. Quinn’s New Bum’s partner Ben Chasny adds devastating shredder guitar to “Game
with No Rules”, whereas Glenn Donaldson, the other half of Quinn’s duo Skygreen
Leopards, adds textural synth and sweet high vocals. Others on board include Elisa
Ambrogio (Magik Markers), Jason Quever (Papercuts), David Novick, Michael Tapscott
(Odawas) and Eric Amerman, all of whom pushQuinn’s songs into surprising new sonic

Artwork by Travis Galloway
Mastered by Carl Saff
Mysterious, moody, basement trio The Bibs present their debut lp, a 12-string electric
DIY Detroit basement folk rock statement in the crude tradition of Index's own
confusing reality music. And worth noting that the jangle/folk spice of From the Fish
Houses comes not only from the group's Michigan weirdo roots, but also from antipodean
forward/free-thinking minds like Mad Nanna, The Cannanes and Tall Dwarfs. Wayward &
busted melodies, muffled percussion & delirium sounds in general steer these songs,
burrowing in deep like earworms in reverse. Features Chris Durham (Church Shuttle,
Quilt Boy, etc) and Travis Galloway (Siobhan, etc), both formerly of Roach Clip and
forever All Gone figureheads.

1. Oh Well 5:29
2. Contradiction Dance 2:41
Three-headed dog Exiles From Clowntown return from a brief slumber, with a grip of
killer new songs in hand. These two are among the first they’ve ever laid to tape in
a so-called proper studio. The edges may be smoothed and instrumentation added, but
the essence of the EFC (& affiliates) of yore is still very much present. And hey,
no hole-punches! Oh well.

Carter Thornton: guitar, field recordings, production, tapes
Another tramp through the darkness by Carter Thornton. The second installment in his
series finds his wrestling itinerant sounds from all sorts of things and in several
permutations–from jazz combo to desolate field recordings–in service of the narrative,
and it’s own disoriented qualities. Mortality and time are themes, and are rendered
with the clarity they deserve. Mapping 2 is a head-scratcher that rewards again and
again, even as it becomes less clear what’s going on. Yes, it’s that magical.

Adam Cadell: violin
Artwork by Ruben Warburton
Radical traveling fiddler Adam Cadell is a teacher/student of the instrument, one-half
of the duo The Scrapes, and is based in Brisbane. Cadell flirted with a life and
practice in academia and modern composition, but shed all that in favor of researching
and playing with fiddlers from around the globe, including heroes like Tony Conrad and
Henry Flynt. The shift from highbrow to a player of the people comes to bear with Bush
Songs, his rendering of Australian labor folk songs. Cadell works every bit of his
violin on Bush Songs, giving new life to these songs of yore.

wood blocks, bells
Scott Tuma: guitar (9)
Mastered by Sean McCann
Matthew De Gennaro is a deep listener & composer of unclassifiable esoterica that
draws on folk music from all over. In recent years, his finger-picked, highlife
imbued guitar playing has taken on more prominence in his pieces, and there’s been
a proliferance of personal story songs as well. Ever present is his gorgeous,
otherworldy viol playing, and melodies from an arcane organ or two. There’s no one
out there quite like him, and Conversation with a Roadside Skull provides further
proof of this. Joining Matthew on guitar for one track is long-time friend and
collaborator Scott Tuma. Enjoy the short ride.

room mics, tapes
Artwork by Chris Durham
Mastered by Sean McCann
Sly smirks mingle with deep mental (chemical?) fogs on each side of Natural Disaster,
the first non-tape release for Church Shuttle, and a nice intro to what his whole
thing is about. As Church Shuttle, Chris Durham explores the relationships between
Fluxus and the Midwest urban folk tradition of scrambled confusion music. Active the
last several years, Durham’s playful and nihilistic compositional approach has gelled
over the course of here & gone releases for Vitrine, Alien Passengers, All Gone and
others. Natural Disaster offers another opportunity to revel in buried realities
revealed.

9. Nietzsche's Candy 4:14
10. Grip the Moon 3:02
Kraus has been a going & growing concern for years now. Each new release from the
hands and mind of Auckland’s Pat Kraus is an extension of the one before it, with
blasted riffs piled high, explosive drumming and modified electronics teetering on
collapse. Grip the Moon is his latest statement, and it’s got all of the Kraus
trademarks aplenty with an added dose of Turkish scales bumping up against his
Bolan-ish bombast, and primitive futurist take on psychedelic music. Layers and
layers of sounds await. Limited.

Stefan Neville: accordion, guitar, drums, baritone recorder
Jade Farley: violin, keyboard (on 1)
Artwork by Stefan Neville
Recorded by Stefan Neville
Mastered by Carl Saff
A diagnosis lament from Pumice, complete with a fatigued, wheezing (yet hopeful!) ode
on the A side and artwork to match. Stefan Neville mostly returns to onemanband mode
on Platelets, save for some crucial violin and keyboard by Jade Farley on
“Haemochromatosis…” augmenting Neville’s accordion moves. The flip is pure
unadulterated Pumice bash & chug of the highest order. As beautiful and necessary
as all of his recordings.

4. At the Gate
5. Pararhyme
6. Flowering
7. The Valley in Shadow
8. Below the Outfall
Ulaan Markhor returns with Helm, a new batch of songs that explore the dissonant, dark
corners of post-punk and it’s many permutations. Steven R. Smith’s first recordings as
Ulaan Markhor surfaced in 2012, and since that self-titled debut LP he’s continued to
refine the sound and feel of the project. Once more the focus is the intersection of
rhythmic groove and scorched guitar (“The Meters-meets-Amon Duul”), but on Helm the
nuanced, meditative pieces built around spike fiddle or organ are as evocative and
commanding. Just like the many great records he’s made before now, Helm is gorgeous,
moody, deep and above all, killer.

13. The Weaving Mill
14. Let Us Return
15. Mourning Weeds
With nearly 25 years of solo recordings & releases to his credit, hermetic Californian
Steven R. Smith goes back to the start with A Sketchbook of Endings, the first solo
release under his own name in 8 years. A Sketchbook of Endings continues Smith’s
exploration of the intersection of moody post-punk and cinematic psychedelia, delivered
in lysergic pop song-length spurts.
Brevity does nothing to sacrifice density or dynamics; Smith offers both in abundance
across the album’s 15 instrumentals. These songs are packed with all of the depth,
intensity & nuance that have been trademarks of his music for so long. Despite
appearing under his given name, A Sketchbook of Endings includes traces of recent
work, under guises such as Ulaan Khol, Ulaan Markhor and Ulaan Passerine, as well
echoes of his forebearers Mick Harvey and Rowland S. Howard. A Sketchbook of Endings
is a highlight of Smith’s first quarter century of activities, a beacon of his rich
and varied anti-career.

SAB 091 THISTLE GROUP THISTLE GROUP 7" 04.2019
SAB 091 THISTLE GROUP THISTLE GROUP DL 04.2019
1. Hold On
2. High
3. Always the First to Sleep
4. Into the Night
Thistle Group has been a going thing for a few years, and this eponymous EP is the
first widely available document of Claire Mahoney’s slowly scrambled solo endeavor.
The songs are built from layered, rumbling analog tape loops that snake around multiple
axes, augmented with occasional drums and voice, providing some sense of order. Each
track exists as its own universe, guided by Claire’s hand. It’s as beautiful as it
is primordial and as it is mysterious, but the beauty in these pieces really shines
through after each encounter.
Like her work as part of the trio It Hurts, Thistle Group’s zone is more in line with
early industrial acts than much of anything since. Her songs clatter and throb in
a reminiscent manner, but this is no homage. These dream-state pieces reflect the
artist and her process, in full covert glory.

For years Pumice was the vehicle for immensely creative New Zealand-based artist
Stefan Neville (the outfit now consists of Jade Farley as well). Here we find Pumice
releasing another electronically-enhanced folk gem. 'Table' offsets Neville’s drones
and organ sounds against his partner’s violin lines, and the results are captivating
- think Bibio.

1. Time Is An Avalanche

Consisting of four long-form and circular pieces that are emotionally forceful despite
their hushed delivery, All Hands Around The Moment is a collaboration between
Glaswegian artist Richard Youngs and Barcelona-based Raül Refree, inspired by their
love of religious music and the more experimental end of the Sixties.
