Brion Starr is a singer, artist, and actor based in New York City, though this debut
album was recorded over three months North London's Konk Studios (home of childhood
musical heroes, The Kinks). This followed a year-and-a-half touring with The Noh
Starrs after releasing their eponymous album via Modern Sky in 2017. Along with former
bandmates Robbie Wood and Lida Fox, Starr follows the experimental drone and psych-rock
elements of their debut album aligned with cut-up pop structures and free jazz
contributions by Matt McAuley (TV Baby, A.R.E Weapons). Starr then explores musique
concrete, loop-based tape compositions and ambient meditations on the latter half of
the album with harpist Marilu Donovan.

Tracy Bryant first gained recognition in 2011 as founder and frontman of Los Angeles
group Corners. The band became a staple of the underground L.A. music scene with
their highly regarded live shows and three well-received releases. Corners toured
the U.S. and Europe extensively before Bryant decided to end the band in early 2016
to fully focus on his solo endeavors. His first full-length solo album Subterranean
was released in early 2016 on Burger Records. 2017 saw the release of Bryant's
sophomore album A Place For Nothing And Everything in its Place, revealing a wider
spectrum and depth in Bryant's songwriting. The soaring melodies of Hush are a breath
of fresh air combined with an authentic lyrical perspective which approaches the
sometimes taboo music industry and the characters which inhabit it. Bryant's most
elaborate production yet is realized by the immaculate drumming & percussion of Nick
Murray (Cate Le Bon, White Fence), precision bass by Brian Allen (Burnt Ones) and
Kyle Mullarky. Guitars and piano are all played by Bryant himself. The album is
mastered by world-renowned engineer Dave Cooley (Blood Orange, Ariel Pink, Animal
Collective).

Brion Starr is a musician based in New York City. Starrs debut album Global Identity
as released in early 2019. The album ws recorded at Konk Studios (home of The Kinks)
in London with a cadre of international musicians including Robbie Wood (Swim Deep,
Lida Fox and Matthew McAuley (ARE Weapons). This is the sister album. Rope Memories
is the diary of a highly successful advertising agent who is at the end of earths
life cycle and has to choose to stay on a fated earth or take all their money earned
to buy seats on a shuttle to an exclusive colony in soace. The album is to be
understood as a concept and varies between highly developed art rock songs with
moments of glam spectacle and punk brevity alternating with slower instrumental
ambient songs reminiscent of early ambient pioneers which are meant to represent
various stages of space travel.

There is a palpable mood at the heart of Canadian perennial Calvin Loves work. Only
once in a blue moon comes an artist that seems so familiar yet out of space. Love
arrives as an enigma, a crooning, haunted voice. With nods in comparison to Roy
Orbison, and Bryan Ferry. Love has certainly drawn subtle inspiration from the
classic singers of the 60s, 70s and 80s. But Loves work reflects on the modern
journey. Songs for the introverts, songs for lonely and hopeful, and songs to
soundtrack our lives through the quiet hours, and all the places our minds drift
to as we head toward the uncertain future of the 21st Century.

While establishing himself in the NYC music scene playing with artists like Cut Worms
and Shilpa Ray, Kyle Avallone began working at home on what would become his new
solo project, a dark and moody world where he could investigate the layers of romantic
turmoil, hedonistic habits, and ordinary life. His debut album, Last Minute Man, is
a sleazy offering of Casiotones covered in barroom smoke and crimson cabaret light;
a scuzzed out tower of songs that takes you on a late night escapade littered with
neon signs, bathroom debauchery, and 3AM rendezvous. You could be nightclubbing in
Berlin with the ghost of Rowland S. Howard, or zig zagging across the floor of the
Black Lodge with holes in your loafers, a tear in your dress.

Adult Books is the brainchild of Los Angeles-based writer and multi-instrumentalist
Nick Winfrey. With the help of childhood friends Sina Salessi (drums) and Alex Galindo
(guitar/synth), Winfrey crafts lyric-driven dark pop gems that recall the hook-heavy
guitar work of Johnny Marr, the just-below-the-collar angst of Mission of Burma, and
the doomsday bellow of early Echo and the Bunnymen.

TGRLP 022 BRION STARR 2020 LP 12.2021
The first of two albums to be released by Brion Starr over the same month, the
second of which is produced by the legend that is Tony Visconti (TAXI 028CD/LP).
On 2020, the first full-length album recorded at the infamous Chateau d'Herouville
in France since its closure in 1985, Starr explores a year which none of us will
soon forget. Starr says of the album: "I feel like this is us at our most blunt,
I certainly haven't felt very poetic this last year. I've been writing about what
is right in front of me and have chosen to eschew beauty for the raw reality of
what has been happening in NYC this year." 2020 is a genre-hopping, time-traveling
whirlwind with heavy depth and impeccable range which is set very firmly in the
surreal and manic time we are living in. The music and lyrics found within equal
the surreal with the subtly psychedelic, the manic with a frantic talent.
