New music out today y'all!

April 2015

We release two new / amazing albums today.  Check them out below:

Radius / Morbidly-O-Beats: Chicago c62

Chicago has been the home for producers Radius and Morbidly-O-Beats. Their roots grew as deep as the buildings are high. Nomadic beat maker Radius has found temporary roots across Japan, Hawaii, California, and everywhere inbetween - “Nomadic Scenery” is a spiritual journey through time and place. Rich with samples and instrumental structure, Radius paints a broad canvas of exploration and experimentation. Morbidly-O-Beats produces “Death and Taxes” a very heavy instrumental piece that explores a comprehensive structure of beats with interludes and melodies that can only be defined as trademark MOB. Both artists contribute 30 minutes of instrumentation for this album. Limited to 100 copper colored cassettes.

Ceschi: Broken Bone Ballads c43

Cassette limited to only 100 copies! Includes a bonus track.

Broken Bone Ballads, the fourth LP from New Haven’s Ceschi Ramos, was written from the perspective of a man battling in court for over three years and anticipating a prison sentence while trying to maintain an indie record label and pay bills as a working musician out on bond. The album draws its title from a 2007 arm wrestling match with a Marine at a house party in Hawaii that left Ceschi with a spiral fracture of the humerus.

Accentuated by Saskatoon producer Factor’s first foray into acoustic minimalism and a host of talented background players and vocalists, including a powerful guest verse from Sage Francis on “Barely Alive,” Ceschi’s narratives explore the plight of the modern working musician, the drop-in-the-ocean nature of pouring one’s life into art in a disposable digital age, and the eternal tug-of-war between despair and hope.

With a sound largely eschewing the contemporary standards of drum machines and trap rap, Broken Bone Ballads relies on manipulated live instrumentation, analog synths, and samples as it moves seamlessly from breathless bars to acoustic punk-influenced folk. The 12-track album was inspired by community, mothers, girlfriends, fellow musicians, the writings of Xose Tarrio Gonzalez, Mayan artwork at the Yale Art Gallery, the loss of some of the most important people in Ceschi’s life, and a dehumanizing prison stint on dubious marijuana charges. With lyrics channeling Jeff Mangum (“Bite Through Stone”) and a delivery reminiscent of Freestyle Fellowship (“Forever 33”), Ceschi voices his frustration with a rigged system that ensures a life of groveling servitude for most and greedy excess for a few (“If a CEO can make billions / Then the world we know is filth ridden”) while holding out hope that through solidarity we can prevail (“All these tiny teeth together can bite through stone”). Ceschi meditates on the suffering he has experienced personally and witnessed on the road and in his community from junkies detoxing in jail cells, undocumented worker wage slaves, and corner boys running the 4AM New Haven streets.

Broken Bone Ballads is simultaneously Ceschi’s most personal effort to date and a collection of stories and sketches that parallel the broader concepts of human suffering, failure, uncertainty, and perseverance.
