Zola Jesus’ gotiske uttrykk plasserer henne et sted mellom Diamanda Galás, Kate
Bush og Florence (and the Machine) Welch, men da hun ble spurt av Guggenheim
i NYC om å opptre der ville hun gjøre ting annerledes. I samarbeid med JG Thirlwell
(aka Foetus) omarrangerte hun spor fra platene sine for anledningen.

PURE BATHING CULTURE
MOON TIDES
Memphis Industries
MI0273CD / MI0273LP
5060146094122 / 5060146094139
CD/LP
It’s a rare and beautiful thing when a band emerges fully formed, but it makes perfect sense
in the case of guitarist Daniel Hindman and keyboardist Sarah Versprille’s Pure Bathing Culture.
Having backed folk rock revisionist Andy Cabic in Vetiver, the New Yorkers partnered up and moved
West in 2011, settling in Portland, Oregon. Building off their past experiences as musical collaborators, in a short time the duo have created a sound that is undeniably their own: soaring synths, chiming
keyboards, and shimmering electric guitars move in lockstep with bouncing drum machines. Sarah’s
crystalline voice floats on top of it all with divine purpose. It’s a sound that looks back momentarily for
inspiration -- Talk Talk, Prefab Sprout, Cocteau Twins -- but then fixes its gaze firmly on the present.
Further developing the sound of their acclaimed four song, self-titled 2012 EP, at the start of
2013 they set out to record Moon Tides, their first full length album. Again, they chose to work with producer Richard Swift at his National Freedom studio in rural Cottage Grove, Oregon. Throughout 2012
Swift had called on the duo to help him with other studio projects (Versprille sings on Foxygen’s latest
LP and Hindman adds his sprawling guitar work to Damien Jurado’s excellent Marqopa) which only
helped to cement the threesome’s musical partnership.
Like the earlier sessions for the EP, they worked quickly in the studio and improvised parts
around the basic song structures that they’d carefully composed up in Portland. Dan explains, “Pretty
much all tracks (vocals and instruments) are all first or very early takes. Richard is kind of a stickler
about this and I actually don’t go in with a clean, pristine idea of what I’m going to play on guitar or any
other instrument for that matter, so there’s actually a lot of improvisation as far as performances in the
studio go.
”It’s this compassion and warmth in Pure Bathing Culture that set them apart. The music is
uplifting. It invites self-reflection. It never feels alienating. “Pendulum” is a perfect mid-tempo album opener that pulses and shines. Other standout tracks from the album -- “Dream The Dare”, “Twins”, “Scotty”
and “Golden Girl” -- are slices of reverb-drenched, soulful, danceable electropop, that musically and lyrically tap into an introspective worship of the natural and psychic mysteries that surround us. Pure Bathing
Culture’s debut album Moon Tides is optimistic modern music for souls who seek to explore the infinite.

On Mandolin Orange’s third release, This Side Of Jordan, there’s a Lightnin’
Hopkins lyric, “If fate’s an old woodpecker then I’m an old chunk of wood.”
“I love the imagery that creates,” Andrew Marlin, the duo’s lyricist says, “You just picture
death as this woodpecker that just lands on your shoulder and starts chipping away at
you until there’s finally nothing left.” In 2011 around the release of Mandolin Orange’s
acclaimed Haste Make/ Hard Hearted Stranger, Marlin had a near fatal accident.
“It was scary,” Emily Frantz, the other half of the North Carolinian duo says, “But ultimately
it brought us together during a time when we needed a nudge in that direction.”
This Side Of Jordan is the story of that healing process, with tales of love and
loss, told honest and bare. The opener, ‘House of Stone,’ quietly fades in with the hush of
Frantz’s fiddle then Marlin’s guitar joins her, blooming. It’s a moment of beauty and a gentle
easing into the record that’s drenched deep in the old time music of Southern Appalachia.
Frantz explains of old time, “They’re simple songs that just anyone can play with anyone
they don’t know, but music is what they have in common. And I think that’s so much of
what we value in that kind of music.” That old time tradition brought Marlin and Frantz
together at a local jam in Chapel Hill in 2009.
Recorded at the Fideltorium in Kernersville, North Carolina with bassist Jeff
Crawford and a backing band, This Side Of Jordan still maintains Mandolin Orange’s
modest aesthetic. Marlin and Frantz have rambled through the dark and came out
together on This Side Of Jordan holding onto some promise, more confident than ever.
They’ve made simply structured songs with easy chords and humble harmonies.
These are the hymns that Mandolin Orange was meant to offer.

It has been a lengthy hiatus, but we have finally finished our latest “masterpiece” and

Idle No More. I was born and raised in Montreal and spent a lot of time on the Kahnawake
Mohawk Indian reservation.

9. So Wild
10. Yes I Can’t
11. I Got Made
12. Of Madness I Dream
Idle No More is probably the most refined piece of music we have made to date.
The songs are about the state of the world we live in today.
Originally, I was going to call the album Of Madness I Dream, but then I became very
enthused about the amazing work of the Idle No More movement. Everyone I asked had
never heard of it, so I contacted the leaders of the movement and, with their permission,
decided to rename the album Idle No More in hopes that it would increase the world’s
awareness of this miracle that is taking place for the indigenous peoples of the world.
If you are not familiar with Idle No More, look it up and GET INVOLVED!
It took a long time to make, but we are very proud and pleased to bring you this album.
I hope that the future will brighten up every time it is played. Ultimately, John and Yoko
were absolutely right: LOVE IS ALL YOU NEED!

Meric Long and Logan Kroeber recorded The Dodos new album, Carrier, in their
hometown of San Francisco. After guitarist Chris Reimer passed away in early 2012,
The Dodos reassessed everything about the band - in particular Long’s songwriting.
“Chris was a huge influence on the way I think about guitar, songwriting, and music in
general,” reveals Long. “Seeing how he could transform and shape sound with an electric
guitar inspired me to explore more tones and use those tones to begin writing a song.”
And so, when he began to formulate the tracks that would ultimately comprise Carrier,
Long employed two principles he inherited from Reimer: patience to let a song develop
and a judgment-free enthusiasm for sound.

In just a few weeks, the heralded hit-maker and swamp-rocker Tony Joe White will enter
his seventh decade. After more than fifty years of playing music, handfuls of chart topping
singles, and collaborations with some of the most revered musicians of the century, White
is set to release a brand new album, Hoodoo, via Yep Roc.

Hoodoo features autobiographical songs about his life growing up on farm and learning
the blues (“9 Foot Sack”), cautionary tales of rural Mississippi (“Alligator, Mississippi”), and
a tale of his trek homeward after the Nashville flood of 2010 (“The Flood”). Despite his
illustrious past, White feels no pressure to top himself. “There’s not a push nowhere,” he
concludes. “Maybe I’ll stop playing shows and making records when the songs quit coming
to me. But they still come to me. You see, I don’t work for a song-but once I get a hold of it
I don’t let go. I just keep writing, and when I do, I want to go out and play it for somebody.
It’s the songwriting that keeps me going.”

to deliver a finished product that wouldn’t suffer from a deadline or budget. We recorded
this record over a span of a year, in session for twenty plus days. By the end, we’d spent

This time, Peter J. Moore was enlisted to mix with The Sadies, a first for them. Internal
Sounds also welcomes Canadian legend Buffy Sainte-Marie who contributes her
haunting voice to the closing track “We Are Circling”.
The Sadies continue working to make a greater live show and better albums, integrity
intact. Internal Sounds is The Sadies continuing to grow, and getting better with each step
