Came across this while reading up on hauntology > Ghostbox Records and some songs on this album just give me some of that heart-swelling nostalgia

Hintermass - While Away

“The Apple Tree”, 2016

Jon Brooks (The Advisory Circle) and Tim Felton (formerly of Broadcast and Seeland) teaming up for a mellow & weird record. “While Away” starts out with shimmering synths, then settles into a sweet motorik groove. For fans of Silver Apples, Beach Boys, The Magnetic Fields, and everything from the Ghost Box label.

September 15, 2019

CLICK HERE for the September 15, 2019 playlist

1.    The Girls - “Jeffrey I Hear You” (1979)

Soul Jazz Records just put out a compilation of music that was important and influential to artist Keith Haring.  Lots of great early-80′s downtown New York punk/funk/new wave/etc.  This was the first I had heard this song, by a group led by visual artist and Haring pal George Condo.  I’m a sucker for a one-chord song.

2.    The Wake - “Of The Matter” (1985)

This was a Glasgow-based group that put out music on Factory Records, running in the same scene as New Order and the Durutti Column.  Emotional and urgent, with some amazing synth and bass work.   

3.    Canyons - “When I See You Again” (2011)

Canyons were a “production duo” from Perth, Australia--about as close as one can get to the edge of the world.  They put out one album, Keep Your Dreams, which this song comes from, that veered wildly from clattering electronic productions to more pop-inflected songs like this one, sung by former Sniff ‘n’ The Tears (a band I had never heard of previously) frontman Paul Roberts.

4.    Mood Rings - “Pathos Y Lagrimas” (2013)

Mood Rings were a dreamy Atlanta rock band that signed to Mexican Summer records, put out a really interesting album, VPI Harmony (from which this song comes), and then appears to have fizzled out.

5.    Seely - “Soft City” (1997)

Another Atlanta band, from much earlier than Mood Rings.  Started by two former Georgia Tech architecture students--Steven Satterfield (now chef-owner of Miller Union restaurant in Atlanta) and Lori Scacco (now a multi-disciplinary artist in New York).  They were the first American band to sign to legendary UK post-rock label Too Pure, and recorded their second album with John McEntire from Tortoise and the Sea and Cake.  This song comes from their third album, Seconds, which was produced by Scott Herren from Prefuse 73.

6.    Super Numeri - “When The Sun Dials” (2003)

Weirdo Liverpudlians making music that exists somewhere between Miles Davis’s 70′s jazz fusion experiments and krautrock.  They put out a couple of albums on Ninja Tune and then disappeared, with main-man Pop Levi going to make some kind of annoying solo albums and play bass for Ladytron.

7.    Rosinha de Valença - “Asa Branca” (1971)

Just stumbled across this this past week.  A Brazilian guitarist and composer from the 70′s.  Don’t know much else, but was captivated by the guitar playing here and the sort of surprise horns in the middle of the song.

8.    Brittany Howard - “History Repeats” (2019)

So, I don’t know much about the Alabama Shakes, although I did like a few things I heard from their last album, Sound & Color, that made me think they are probably a much different band than I think they are.  But singer Brittany Howard has been putting out a few singles in advance of a solo album coming out soon, and I’ve been really into them.  This song in particular has a weirdo groove to it and doesn’t really go anywhere in the best way possible.

9.    Dutch Uncles - “Combo Box” (2017)

Dutch Uncles are a Manchester band that’s been one of my faves of the past few years.  Their music is REALLY nerdy, which makes sense since it’s supposedly all composed by their bass player, a musical composition student, using computer musical notation software, which the band then learns how to translate to rock band instruments.

10.   Yellow Magic Orchestra - “Taiso” (1981)

Legendary Japanese supergroup, composed of Yukihiro Takahashi, Haruomi Hosono, and Ryuichi Sakamoto.  All three members were well-known in Japan before the band formed, although only Sakamoto is really well-known in the US due to his film-scoring work.  They made eclectic synth-pop, always with an eye towards the pop world.  This song comes from my favorite overall YMO album, Technodelic.

11.    Alan Braxe & Fred Falke - “Penthouse Serenade” (2002)

For a few years in the early 2000′s, French duo Alan Braxe & Fred Falke treated the world to several wonderful dance singles and several more top-tier remixes for other artists.  And then there must’ve been some bad blood, cause it all just stopped.  Unfortunately their true masterpiece, “Rubicon,” is not on Spotify, but I’d put this song up as one of the best of the rest.  Before teaming with Falke, Braxe was briefly part of a group with Daft Punk’s Thomas Bangalter called Stardust.

12.    Lindstrøm & Christabelle - “Baby Can’t Stop” (2009)

I go back and forth on Swedish electronic music guru Hans-Peter Lindstrøm.  But I love the album he made with Swedish vocalist Christabelle, Real Life Is No Cool.  Unfortunately Christabelle has never shown up anywhere else.

13.    Alexander Robotnick - “C’est La Vie (7″ Version)” (1987)

Robotnick is an Italian dance-music producer who’s been kicking around for almost four decades.  I don’t know much about him, and honestly don’t remember how I stumbled upon this song, but I love it and now you are hearing it.

14.   Hintermass - “While Away” (2016)

Hintermass is a collaboration between Tim Felton (former guitar player for Broadcast and Seeland) and Jon Brooks, aka The Advisory Circle--one of Ghost Box Records’ primary artists.  Their music is a winning combo of Felton’s meditative, baritone pop songs and Brooks’s electronic production.

15.    Dennis Wilson - “Time” (1977)

Yes, that Dennis Wilson--Beach Boys Dennis Wilson.  He made one really deep solo record in 1977, Pacific Ocean Blue.  This emotional tune kicks off side two, showcasing Dennis’s ragged vocals over soft rock piano balladry, before kicking into something else entirely...

MTH011: ‘Half-Light’ Prowler Remixed - Pye Corner Audio

Pye Corner Audio’s acclaimed 2015 album ‘Prowler’ (’Moody minimal techno throb’ - Mojo) has been warped, twisted and reborn as ‘Half-Life’, the first ever PCA remix album. Featuring 4 new remixes by Clesse, Silent Servant, Cloudface and Not Waving; plus 2 brand new compositions by the Head Technician himself.

A1: Corrupt Data 5.48 A2: She Hunts At Night (Clesse remix) 7.15 A3: Decade Counter (Cloudface remix) 5.52

B1: Morning (Silent Servant remix) 6.58 B2: Prowler (Not Waving remix) 5.26 B3: Octal Run 5.35

The Remixers:

Clesse is Jon Brooks, the mastermind behind The Advisory Circle, Georges Vert and D.D. Denham, as well a member of The Pattern Forms, Hintermass and Woodbines & Spiders. This is Clesse’s debut release.

Cloudface has an instantly recognizable style - dreamy, bubbling rhythms supporting hazy melodies; he has released acclaimed records on Mood Hut, Nice Up International and Black Opal.

Silent Servant founded the Jealous God label and is part of the Sandwell District collective and is rightly revered for his brooding industrial-strength techno.

Alessio Natalizia is Not Waving, one half of Walls and the founder of Ecstatic records. Here he provides a suitably avant-garde disco outing.

Praise for Prowler:

‘Atmospheric old-school synth soundscapes for stalkers’ Mojo

‘Treading steadily between dark, mid-tempo disco shadows and moonlit eldritch zones, Prowler might just be one of PCA’s definitive releases’ Boomkat

‘hazy, slow-tempo acid, science-fiction mini epics, starlit ambient caked in BoC hiss, and quietly screaming Giallo-synth tension. The Head Technician always delivers the goods.’ Bleep

HALF-LIGHT is out Jan 6th 2017 on vinyl.
