Along with launching Kishi Bashi’s career as a soloist, this earnest debut made him one of indie music’s most in-demand violinists.

Working quickly, the band invited myriad guests to participate, some of them dear friends, others practically strangers. They are of different ages, different nationalities, different disciplines. The only common thread was that each and every artist on \u003cstrong\u003eMountain Moves\u003c\/strong\u003e doesn't fit into a single, neatly-defined category – and doesn't wish to. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe results, as expected, were unexpected.

Every file received triggered a new rush of jumbled emotions. Some guests crafted their contributions in the small hours of the dawn, toiling in hotel rooms before driving eight hours to the next tour date; others hopped on the subway and recorded with the band in-person. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eCollisions and collusions abound on \u003cstrong\u003eMountain Moves\u003c\/strong\u003e. In addition to its bounty of originals, the program includes three covers that epitomize the album's assemblage of disparate ideas and personalities. Reducing Bob Marley's \"Small Axe\" to a beat-less fragment of hymn-like simplicity magnifies the song's rebellious spirit and undercurrent of violence. Deerhoof vocalist Satomi Matsuzaki, a Japanese immigrant, lifts the Staple Singers' \"Freedom Highway\" out of its original place and time, imbuing it with a new sense of alienation from one's own country. Snippets of the bass recitative \"For behold, darkness shall cover the earth\" from Handel's Messiah provide the foundation for a fresh take on Chilean folk hero Violeta Parra's bittersweet masterpiece \"Gracias a la Vida.\" \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eAdventures outside the United States also informed the making of \u003cstrong\u003eMountain Moves\u003c\/strong\u003e. During a recent visit to Brazil, the band was astonished to see how enthusiastically audiences at concerts sang, danced, and reveled – a cultural response, they learned, to the scarcity of resources for all but the nation's wealthiest elites. Elsewhere, the experience of confronting unfamiliar audiences of fired-up Red Hot Chili Peppers fans taught them that one of their greatest skills – the ability to recalibrate their sound nightly to suit a particular venue – wasn't limited to basements or small clubs. The broader strokes of \u003cstrong\u003eMountain Moves\u003c\/strong\u003e sprang forth from lessons learned while trying to engage audiences of 20,000+ across the vast distances of Northern European sporting arenas. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eIf \u003cstrong\u003eMountain Moves\u003c\/strong\u003e were a movie, it would be a double feature, Journey to the Center of the Deerhoof and Escape from Planet Deerhoof, shown side-by-side simultaneously. The record epitomizes the band at its very best, exploring new realms between the poles of independence and invention. It also serves as a welcoming point of entry for new listeners outside Deerhoof's traditional orbit, an opportunity to bring even more voices into the communal conversation.

Frustrated with music business politics Williams reinvented himself as Swamp Dogg, an irreverent anti-hero smashing the conventions of commercial R\u0026amp;B music. Swamp Dogg’s debut release Total Destruction to Your Mind featured a post-apocalyptic take on the Muscle Shoals’ sound, with lyrics inspired by the revolutionary politics and psychedelic drugs of the late ‘60s. The music on Total Destruction to Your Mind stood worlds apart from the formulaic pop tunes Williams started cutting in 1954 under the name Little Jerry, and Swamp Dogg hasn’t looked back since.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut the music business wasn’t ready for Swamp Dogg, nor was the rest of America. His bizarre album titles and wild cover art turned the average consumer off, while his subversive lyrics earned him a spot on Richard Nixon’s infamous enemies list. Swamp Dogg was not deterred. He seemed to relish operating from the margins of the music business, consequently becoming one of the quintessential outsider figures in American music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow, nearly fifty years after his debut release, Swamp Dogg stands on the precipice of another radical reinvention. His latest creation is titled Love, Loss, and Auto-Tune a nine song collection featuring production by Poliça’s Ryan Olson. Love, Loss, and AutoTune finds Swamp Dogg’s bluesy southern soul colliding head-on with 21st Century electronic music production techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reference to Auto-Tune in the title is not incidental, the album’s sound is built around Swamp Dogg’s experimentation with the ubiquitous vocal processor. While Auto-Tune has become a fixture of the modern pop music landscape, this is Swamp Dogg’s first major exploration of the device. “Every time I listen to some new music that everybody thinks is the greatest thing since hot biscuits, it's full of Auto-Tune,” Swamp Dogg says. His use of Auto-Tune technology is not gratuitous. Like Kanye West on 808s \u0026amp; Heartbreak, Swamp Dogg utilizes the cold digital tone of Auto-Tune to convey a sense of emotional detachment during the album’s most anguished moments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to Ryan Olson, Swamp Dogg’s initial attempts at using Auto-Tune were a bit rough around the edges. So Olson called up Justin Vernon to rework the digital effects on Swamp Dogg’s vocal tracks. That process reflects Olson’s own role as producer on Love, Loss, and Auto-Tune. “I went into the studio and laid down the vocals and the rhythms, then I sent those tracks off to Ryan to let him do whatever he wanted,” Swamp Dogg says of the remote collaboration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGiving up creative control isn’t the norm for Swamp Dogg. A fiercely independent artist, Swamp Dogg is frequently the producer, writer, arranger, and label owner for most of the projects he touches. But Olson’s approach impressed him. “The first thing I thought was this white boy must be crazier than a motherfucker. But I listened to how deep he'd go experimenting with the music and I liked what he was doing,” Swamp Dogg says. Olson adds a range of inventive synth sounds and drum machines to Swamp Dogg’s sonic palette, as well as an impressively artful approach to arranging Swamp’s compositions. The result is a wildly fresh take on the classic Swamp Dogg sound. Swamp Dogg agrees, “I was knocked out by what I heard. I couldn't believe it was me. It's some of the greatest and outrageous music I've ever heard come out of the Swamp Dogg.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwamp Dogg has frequently trafficked in the outrageous to attract audience attention, but it’s the quality of his songwriting that has kept fans returning to his work. Swamp Dogg has a gift for writing about heartache. Many fans consider the 1970 collection of breakup songs he wrote and produced for Doris Duke under the title I’m A Loser one of his finest moments as a writer. The songs on Love, Loss, and Auto-Tune rival the tunes presented on Duke’s classic disc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"The songs are about being lonely,” Swamp Dogg says of Love, Loss, and AutoTune. The feeling of loneliness is particularly palpable on the hauntingly beautiful “I’ll Pretend,” which features vocals from Justin Vernon. Swamp Dogg describes the song as a character study about “a guy sitting in a restaurant by himself losing his fucking mind because he’s hoping his woman is gonna walk by, but she's at a Ramada Inn somewhere fucking somebody else to death.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite the record’s overriding theme of loss, Swamp Dogg’s warped sense of humor is still intact. Let’s remember that we’re talking about an artist who released a “greatest hits” album in 1976 filled entirely with new songs! Swamp’s comic side is evident on “$$$ Hunting,” which rolls out with a funky Zapp-like bounce. There’s also “Sex With Your Ex,” where Swamp Dogg extols the benefits of the song’s title theme over random bursts of feedback and noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLove, Loss, and Auto-Tune is a gem, a unique and unpredictable moment in the life of a unique and unpredictable artist that some consider a national treasure. “I might be the only one,” Swamp Dogg says. “But I think Swamp Dogg is a national treasure.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Swamp Dogg","offers":[{"title":"Black Vinyl + digital (includes instant download of album in MP3 + WAV)","offer_id":32554673012807,"sku":"JNR269_LLA_Swamp_LP","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD + Digital (Includes instant download of full album in MP3 + WAV.)","offer_id":12157319479367,"sku":"JNR269-LLA_Swamp_CD","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Digital (Includes instant download in MP3 + WAV.)","offer_id":12157319544903,"sku":"JNR269_LLA_Swamp-Digital","price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"VIP","offer_id":12157319413831,"sku":"JNR269_LLA_Swamp_VIP","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Gold Vinyl + Digital (Limited indie retail exclusive pressing.

Imagine being sent to a prison camp with no trial, and no promise of release. Imagine all this happened simply because of the language you speak, the shade of your skin, or the roots of your family tree. For over 120,000 Japanese-Americans this was a reality during World War II. It’s a reality that Kishi Bashi seeks to reckon with on his latest release \u003cem\u003eOmoiyari\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOmoiyari\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e is Kishi Bashi’s fourth album -- following the acclaimed \u003cem\u003e151a\u003c\/em\u003e (2012), \u003cem\u003eLighght\u003c\/em\u003e (2014), and \u003cem\u003eSonderlust\u003c\/em\u003e (2016), which have garnered serious acclaim from outlets including NPR Music, The Wall Street Journal, and The Guardian -- and his most important yet. Many of the songs were initially inspired by history and oppression, and he deftly weaves tales of love, loss, and wanting to connect listeners to the past. Channeling the hard-learned lessons of history, \u003cem\u003eOmoiyari\u003c\/em\u003e is an uncompromising musical statement on the turbulent sociopolitical atmosphere of present-day America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e“I was shocked when I saw white supremacy really starting to show its teeth again in America,“ Kishi Bashi says. “My parents are immigrants, they came to the United States from Japan post–World War II. As a minority I felt very insecure for the first time in my adult life in this country. I think that was the real trigger for this project.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eKishi Bashi recognized parallels between the current U.S. administration’s constant talk of walls and bans, and the xenophobic anxieties that led to the forced internment of Japanese-Americans in the months following the attack on Pearl Harbor. So he immersed himself in that period, visiting former prison sites and listening to the stories of survivors, while developing musical concepts along the way. The unique creative process behind \u003cem\u003eOmoiyari\u003c\/em\u003e will be documented in a film scheduled for release in early 2020.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e“I didn’t want this project to be about history, but rather the importance of history, and the lessons we can learn,” Kishi Bashi reflects. “I gravitated toward themes of empathy, compassion, and understanding as a way to overcome fear and intolerance. But I had trouble finding an English title for the piece. \u003cstrong\u003eOmoiyari\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Japanese word. It doesn't necessarily translate as empathy, but it refers to the idea of creating compassion towards other people by thinking about them. I think the idea of omoiyari is the single biggest thing that can help us overcome aggression and conflict.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe strong conceptual elements of \u003cem\u003eOmoiyari\u003c\/em\u003e are driven by Kishi Bashi’s captivating musical score. Stepping away from his past loop-based production model, he embraced a more collaborative approach when recording, and for the first time included contributions from other musicians, such as Mike Savino (aka Tall Tall Trees) on banjo and bass, and Nick Ogawa (aka Takenobu) on cello. Kishi Bashi’s spectacular trademark violin soundscapes are still an essential component of his sound, but the focus of \u003cem\u003eOmoiyari\u003c\/em\u003e is centered squarely on its songs. The result is his most potent and poignant collection of music to date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eOn “Marigolds,” Kishi Bashi contemplates the “differences between generations that are difficult to comprehend sometimes.” “I wish that I had met you when your heart was safe to hold,” he sings over a bed of shimmering violins, conveying a sense of deep melancholy over a soaring melodic line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e“Summer of ’42” weaves a breathtaking orchestral score over a tale of love and loss in a Japanese incarceration camp. “While times were humiliating and difficult in these camps, they would make time to find love and happiness amongst the adversity,” Kishi Bashi observes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e“Violin Tsunami” builds a single violin line into a cinematic wall of sound. “A Brazilian Japanese friend of mine is a violin maker, and he presented me with a wonderful violin to play. He had named it Tsunami, and had worked on it while the Fukushima Nuclear disaster was unfolding,” Kishi Bashi explains. “This song is about the chaos that nature can create, and also about the healing and rebuilding that the human spirit is capable of.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe songs on \u003cem\u003eOmoiyari\u003c\/em\u003e overflow with rich sounds and complex emotions, and challenge listeners to confront a difficult chapter in America’s past while acknowledging the injustices of the present. But there’s a yearning for better days threaded through several songs, a perspective that mirrors Kishi Bashi’s own hopes for a better future. “Part of the project is saying that if you're a minority there's potentially still a lot to look forward to in this country. I believe there's a paradigm shift coming, especially for minorities and those who have felt oppression. America is changing.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBut a better future is not guaranteed, and Kishi Bashi wants listeners who hold some economic or social privilege to be aware of their own role in creating change. “If you're privileged you need to understand that this country is for everybody, and we have to make that space for all people.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e“Sometimes when we look at history, it feels far away and removed. But there are fundamental lessons of love, compassion and fear that we can learn from the internment and apply to issues today concerning refugees, immigration, and minorities,” he says. “There are so many tragedies and atrocities that have happened around the world at different times in history, and I think it's really important to have the compassion to understand the suffering that people endured before you, to not repeat the past, and to really be grateful for the life you have.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWhile the theme of \u003cem\u003eOmoiyari\u003c\/em\u003e is rooted in 1940s America, the album’s message is timeless. In exploring the emotional lives of the innocent Japanese-Americans who were unjustly incarcerated, Kishi Bashi hopes to nurture a sense of empathy, or omoiyari, in all who hear the album.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eCover photo: carved and painted scrap-wood bird pins by artists Himeo Fukuhara and Kazuko Matsumoto reprinted from \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e“The Art of Gaman: Arts and Crafts from the Japanese American Internment Camps 1942-1946,” (2004, Ten Speed Press)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003ewith the permission of author Delphine Hirasuna, designer Kit Hinrichs, and photographer Terry Heffernan.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Kishi Bashi","offers":[{"title":"Black Vinyl + Digital (Packaged in gatefold jacket and obi strip.

The self-released LP received only modest attention initially, but the project would go on to defy all expectations, gradually attracting a significant cult audience of loyal fans. “It was a glacial pace,” Dunn said of the process. “When we first put it out there was very little reaction. But the reaction we did get was very passionate, which was exciting for us because we felt like we were on to something.” \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDefying expectations is standard operating procedure for El Ten Eleven. Seriously, who would expect two instrumentalists to create such a large and complex sound? But thanks to inventive arrangements and a masterful use of looping, Dunn (bass\/guitar) and Fogarty (drums) developed a pulsating sound full of atmospheric intensity. They’ve also crafted an incredibly durable career, and the duo credit the ongoing interest in their debut album as the foundation for that success. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEarly on Dunn feared the quirkiness of the group’s two-man band approach would overshadow their music. “When we first started and we made that first record, I was really worried that people would only be interested in the novelty of us looping and playing everything by ourselves as just two people,” Dunn shared. “I was worried that they wouldn’t be moved by the music. But as it turned out, although people were impressed that it was just the two of us, they love the music.“ \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe music of El Ten Eleven has been embraced by fans of many genres — from math rock, to jazz, to lo-fi hip-hop. The duo’s sound is sharply evocative in mood and feeling, yet simultaneously abstract and meditative. The combination of these qualities has stimulated the imagination of the group’s fans, and gives space for listeners to assign their own value and meaning to the sounds. “I’m aiming for emotional impact when I come up with songs,” Dunn explained. “Does it move me? Does it make me feel something? Sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it's technically interesting but it doesn't make me feel anything. But I don't want music that's interesting. I want music that's emotionally resonate.” \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eEl Ten Elven\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e was released in 2004, on-demand music streaming services were still in their embryonic phase. The growth of those services would be a consequential factor in introducing El Ten Eleven’s music to the world. Dunn views the development of digital music distribution services as a liberating force for artists, an effective channel to sidestep the suffocating control of corporate media. \"Really, this is a Golden Age of music,” Dunn observed. “I think this is the greatest time in history to be a musician. We don't have to rely on MTV or a radio station to be heard. If you make something great people will find it. I'm not saying what we did was great, but that's what we were aiming for. I figured people would find us and they did. It took a long time, but it worked.\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor all the band’s fans who discovered this album via online streaming services, JNR’s deluxe vinyl reissue of \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eEl Ten Eleven\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e provides an excellent opportunity to bypass the compromised bitrates and crappy laptop speakers associated with digital listening, allowing listeners to experience this music in all of its full-frequency high-fidelity glory. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMeanwhile, Dunn remains humbled by the ongoing interest in El Ten Eleven’s debut. “The fact that people still like a record we put out in 2004 is unbelievably gratifying. Tim and I were still figuring out what we were doing when we made that album. I think that might be part of why it's appealing to people. It's a very honest record and naiveté can be really fascinating. So I'm glad it was honest, and I'm glad we did it. It's definitely bringing us more than I thought it ever would. It's surpassed my expectations for longevity and impact, and of course we’re happy about that.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"El Ten Eleven","offers":[{"title":"Gold Vinyl + Digital (Limited pressing of 1000.

With the three mediums intertwined from conception, together they create an epic experience for those bold enough to bear witness and come away with a deeper understanding of the ultimate hero’s journey. Armed with a musical and visual aesthetic that has its roots unabashedly buried deep in the golden era of ‘70s and ‘80s fantasy and sci-fi, Magic Sword’s followers are called to another plane of existence where the struggle between light and shadow becomes all too real. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe Immortals are:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe Keeper of the Magic Sword – red, keyboards\u003cbr\u003eThe Seer of All Truths – blue, guitar\u003cbr\u003eThe Weaver of all Hearts and Souls – yellow, drums\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe Immortals give a direct account of their vision: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e“In the beginning there was light… and darkness. A creation of perfect balance. As time passed, evil spread over the land like a plague, slowly consuming everything in its path. In the final moments before light was lost to the shadow for all time, a weapon of infinite power was created, the Magic Sword. Thus, restoring balance to the universe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe genesis of things are often small. As the single seed grows to a mighty oak, so too did the path of the Keeper begin as a single choice in an age long past. Once a humble king, they were manipulated into unknowingly unleashing the Dark One. All of reality was torn asunder as the Lord of Shadow was released from their ancient prison, having been bound only by the power contained within the Magic Sword. From that day forth, the King was cursed to be the immortal Keeper of this powerful key. He has been relentlessly compelled for millennia to find the Chosen One who will one day unleash the true power of the weapon and cannot rest until the grand design is seen complete with the Darkness bound once again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eLittle is known of The Lord of Shadow but death and decay. Since the release from his ancient prison by the hapless Keeper of the Magic Sword, he has pulled all of existence slowly toward himself in a vortex of darkness and destruction. Any wayward soul that he touches is corrupted to their ultimate demise. He uses his followers, acolytes of death, with no more regard than any other, for his reason of being is simply to end all things. Ensuingly, the forces of good have been searching for the Light to push him back into his eternal prison. The key to operate this cell is the Magic Sword; when wielded by the Chosen One, it has the power to return balance to the Universe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe Keeper of the Magic Sword searches endlessly for the Chosen One. With the help of the other Immortals, The Seer of All Things and The Weaver of Hearts and Minds, they are ever trying to stem the tide of the Great Shadow from engulfing all life. Through time and space itself, The Immortals are pulled by the power of the Magic Sword to those who hunger for true justice. Whenever the need is great, they appear with the Magic Sword and a high stakes proposition for those who are pure of heart, perpetually hoping that their search is finally over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis prophesied being contains the ability to wield the power of the Magic Sword and seal the prison that holds Dark One for all eternity.

The band left the acoustic guitars and fragmentary sketch modus operandi of their earlier cassette behind to focus on an eccentric version of home studio craft, held together by a few cheap microphones (including a Radio Shack PZM) and a Tascam cassette 4-track recorder sequestered under the eaves of a 3rd floor, Cambridge Massachusetts double-decker house apartment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWood floors and Christmas lights were as much a part of the vibe as an Ampeg VT 40 guitar amp and a small chord organ. The duo would wait until the downstairs neighbor went to work in the morning and then would play until the tunes snapped like a high-pitched snare drum. The setup would close down just before the neighbor came home from work, keeping the peace long enough to see the project through to completion. Once tracked, the band snuck into Fort Apache studios with Tim O'Heir (producer of Sebadoh's 'Bakesale' LP) early one morning, freeloading off the Sebadoh sessions that were set to get going that afternoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTim mixed the songs through a very hi-fi Neve board in a matter of hours with the Tascam sitting right on the giant board like a tugboat keeping time with an oil tanker. The duo hoped that the spirits of ancestors like The Troggs, Devo, Al Green, and The Bee Gees would be pleased with the scent of tribute that arose from the ashes of the pyre. Today, they are pleased to see the Slaps and the Sputniks on view again nearly 30 years later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Folk Implosion","offers":[{"title":"Clear Vinyl + Digital (Includes instant download in MP3, AIFF + WAV.)","offer_id":45495320641846,"sku":"JNR421_TaLI_LPC1_Clear","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Digital (Instant download in MP3, AIFF + WAV.)","offer_id":39885408567367,"sku":"JNR421_digital","price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Limited Edition Cassette + Digital (Limited to 400 copies on silver cassettes.

It’s a good list, sure, but what’s most remarkable about it is that, in the course of a dozen years or so, Fair made music with all of them in one form or another. In some cases, a kindred spirit recognized one of its own; in most cases, it was because the work Fair had created with his brother, David, in Half Japanese since the ’70s, or before the term indie rock really existed, had inspired a successive cohort that helped to define it. “Anyone who hears that stuff,” Yo La Tengo’s James McNew told \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Wire\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e in 2000, “it’ll change their life.” In the same interview, Ira Kaplan remembered hearing the band’s \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eHalf Gentlemen\/Not Beasts\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e upon its release and being floored.

He’s been involved in several hundred titles, at least, many of them out-of-print on tiny labels that do not exist anymore.

He intended to make an illustrated book of them until Jad read a few and suggested they’d actually be perfect songs. In their New Jersey studio and rehearsal space in 1994, Yo La Tengo—working without headphones, so they could hear one another but couldn’t necessarily hear Jad speak and sing—improvised to his visual cues as he delivered these lyrics. They replicated the stratagem two years later in New York, amassing 29 of these improvised story-songs. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe result, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eStrange But True\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, is as wonderful, varied, and wild as some enormous lawn of native grasses. Bits of jangle, hardcore, drone, post-punk, acoustic oddity, and even doo-wop frame these tales of a monkey becoming a domestic helper, of a scientist toiling to reinvent chewing gum, of an impatient millionaire fixing potholes with his own stacks of cash. These sessions were so freewheeling that there are two versions of an anecdote about an accidental Baked Alaska called “Clumsy Grandmother Serves Delicious Dessert by Mistake”—one blown-out and squealing, the other as tight as an oddball punk anthem. The drum-and-voice, start-and-stop curio “X-Ray Reveals Doctor Left Wristwatch Inside Patient” is a testament to those visual cues, while “Embarrassed Teen Accidentally Uses Valuable Rare Postage Stamp” is gorgeous and gentle, Fair and the band finding empathy in the shame. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOf the 22 tracks that make up \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eStrange But True\u003c\/em\u003e,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e none may be more affecting than “Circus Strongman Runs for PTA President.” With resignation in his voice, Fair tells the tale of “the sword-swallowing circus strongman and his snake-charming tattooed wife,” who have decided to resign from the circuit and retire into hammock-lounging, child-rearing domesticity. It’s a bummer, a pair of freaks leaving their scene. But it’s also, as we learn, a feint, since the family now consists of “his fire-eating fan-dancing daughter and their dog-faced contortionist son.” We are inseparable, turns out, from our eccentricity. “When I started as a musician, I just wanted to sound like myself,” Fair says. “You would think that would be the easiest thing to do, but, for most people, it’s difficult.” \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eStrange But True\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e couldn’t sound more like Jad Fair if it tried.

But by 2015, after years of relentless touring, that brightness threatened to dim. He went to all his usual conduits of creation — violin loops, guitar, piano — and came up with the musical equivalent of fumes. “Touring and its accompanying lifestyle took a heavy toll on my soul and my family,” he recalls. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrom that exhaustion came \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSonderlust\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, released in 2016, an album that marked not just a stylistic shift, but a profoundly personal one. Gone were the ornate flourishes and the dizzying maximalism. In their place: analog warmth, vulnerability, and a spiritual candor. It was filled with the kind of startling emotion that Ishibashi never before allowed himself. “It was the beginning of me growing up,” he recalls. “Being comfortable expressing my heartbreak.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIf \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLighght\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e sounded like the inside of a kaleidoscope, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSonderlust\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e was the other side of the rainbow: a record made in the twitchy stillness that follows upheaval.

Ishibashi took that idea to heart. “It’s about being inspired by your connection to everyone around you,” he says. “Realizing that every single person is at the center of their own universe. It’s a humbling feeling.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThat humility reshaped his music, too. Working with Chris Taylor of Grizzly Bear, Ishibashi set aside the baroque violin loops that had defined his earlier work and began exploring the textural possibilities of vintage synths: specifically, the Juno-106, a MiniMoog, and the Wurlitzer piano. “I wanted to create a more holistic body of work instead of just kitchen-sink energy,” he says. “Nothing says funk like a Wurlitzer.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe result was an album that shimmered with analog vibrance; soulful, strange, and defenselessly human. ‘Say Yeah’ and ‘Honeybody’ bear traces of Stevie Wonder’s kinetic joy, while “Ode to My Next Life” pulses with Moroder-esque propulsion. Ishibashi enlisted drummer Matt Chamberlain to ground the music with a physical heartbeat. “Chris introduced me to these incredible L.A. musicians who replaced my mediocre Wurlitzer parts with seriously great ones,” he says, laughing. “Everything sounds really good.

Longing for the pastoral feel of their former home, Eisenberg gravitated towards the warm sounds of country and folk. For an already renowned guitarist, these classic songwriting practitioners (John Hartford, Michael Hurley, Gillian Welch, John Prine, Willie Nelson) and what Eisenberg called “weirdo country interpreters” (Richard Dawson, the Mekons, Joanna Newsom) offered other kinds of timelessness and virtuosity, as did Eisenberg’s immersion into pop-folk orchestrations (Judee Sill, Jimmy Webb, Van Dyke Parks). “The songs are genuinely folk songs,” Eisenberg says of their record. “The production is less about seeing what the guitar might be capable of and more accepting the inherent strangeness of the languages it has spoken for the last century and a half.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA personal reckoning between 2023 and 2024 imbued Eisenberg’s new music with evermore sturdiness, clarity, conviction, and beauty. “I had this weird, semi-mystical experience,” Eisenberg says. “I remember walking around for hours alone, having given up on some kind of straight love, straight performance.

I wanted it to be incredibly comforting as it describes some massive changes in self-understanding and self-regard. It’s about relief.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEisenberg explores this epiphany explicitly on “Old Myth Dying,” singing in a fevered register, over polyrhythmic guitar playing, about knowing what you can and can’t control. That renewed feeling is in the pedal-steeled lucidity of “Will You Dare,” a bracing tune about love and the passage of time, which “has a funny way of laying you bare,” they sing. “It pulls you and scares you and tangles your hair\/Asking: will you dare?” Opening with inquisitive chords before blooming into visceral, baroque-pop grandeur, “Meaning Business” was written following David Lynch’s death—favoring the late filmmaker’s “alien sense of Americanness” over a codified “Lynchian” sound. “Vanity Paradox” evokes how self-examination in artmaking can paradoxically blur one’s self-image. A tension between unresolvability and a longing for steady ground abounds; as Eisenberg sings on “The Walls,” “I wondered, when I was younger\/If I would feel this way forever\/Or if this world would finally settle into something solid.” The boon of such solidity rings out between each player. “Working in a very homegrown way was essential—these songs came out very delicately and were allergic to false steps,” Eisenberg says. “This is the first record I’ve made with an extensive backlog of songs, and I chose these because they felt spiritually the truest to how I have been moving through this new world right now.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe dreamlike centerpiece “Another Lifetime Floats Away” traces the sweep of a life, how the past inhabits us and tends to flood back at will. Its bittersweet ease remarkably describes the nature of time, which can never turn back, in a succession of vivid images—their mother making breakfast; their dad working; their adventurous 20s, touring Northeast highways—while also describing the present moment from which the song was crafted. “It situates me as my own parent now,” Eisenberg says. “It’s emotionally overwhelming to grapple with the feeling that you are now the person who witnesses and occasions your own life, like your childhood home or your parents.” It is possible to imagine people singing it forever.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe song that follows, “It’s Here,” is about “the consciousness afforded by true love,” of people and songs and learning to trust in both. The conditions of Eisenberg’s life have steadied since the “exorcism” from which they wrote, and the recording reflected these shifts. Eisenberg became a full-time assistant professor of songwriting and they live now with Rubio, their girlfriend. “These things being true have changed my songwriting voice. It’s just as urgent as always, but slightly more spacious,” they say. “I’d spent my life trying to wrestle things into existence. These are songs that honestly just emerged, miraculously.” Calling back to that lifetime of devotion to song, and the negotiation towards a realized self that is likely to last as long, Eisenberg ends with “The Walls,” originally penned for their free-jazz trio Darlin’:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-ccp-padding-between=\"0px\" data-ccp-border-between=\"0px none #000000\" data-ccp-padding-bottom=\"0px\" data-ccp-border-bottom=\"0px none #000000\" class=\"Paragraph SCXW67319564 BCX0\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eA memory: when I was twelve, or thirteen, \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eI’d write songs close to midnight\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eAnd some of those would sound a bit like this one, even back then\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eI seem to be consistent\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eIf rootless in this half-guarded impulse\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eI cannot find the walls\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eI trust that that’s a good thing\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eSometimes I’ll need convincing\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Wendy Eisenberg","offers":[{"title":"Oxblood Vinyl + Digital (Includes instant download in WAV \/ AIFF \/ MP3)","offer_id":53561221218614,"sku":"JNR514_LP-C1","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD + Digital (Includes instant download in WAV \/ AIFF \/ MP3)","offer_id":53561221251382,"sku":"JNR514_CD","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Digital (Download available in WAV \/ AIFF \/ MP3)","offer_id":53561221284150,"sku":"JNR514_digital","price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"VIP","offer_id":53561221185846,"sku":"JNR514_VIP","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0844\/5451\/files\/JNR514CoverArtFinal.jpg?v=1775063635"},{"product_id":"triptych","title":"Triptych","description":"\u003cp\u003eA Triptych with Holes:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe year is 2026. \u003cstrong\u003eSleepytime Gorilla Museum\u003c\/strong\u003e was “born” on the eve of this century, little suspecting then that the 25th anniversary of its debut album, its \u003cem\u003eGrand Opening and Closing\u003c\/em\u003e, would be celebrated in a fascist-occupied country. The festivities have already begun. Even now, wooden boxes are being lovingly made by hand in the exact center of the formerly-united states, in Indiana, home of Avant Night Records and Joyful Noise Recordings. The primal smell of carefully-burnt wood betrays their intricate design: a Triptych unfolding to reveal all 3 of the foundational Museum records in gatefold double vinyl, previously only available as an import through Blood Music in the jolly socialist country of Finland, where the Museum’s desperate “freedom songs” must have seemed quaint indeed.
