Needles & Grooves AoTM /// Vol. 7 - January 2020 /// Clarence Clarity - No Now

[Joe Mac]

Wooo! It arrived before the end of the month! I’ll try to get it spinning before Friday!

I listened to this again and I'm really into it now haha. Should I buy it from Bella Union or is there another recommended seller in the US?

YAY! I’m really happy you are loving the album!

I think Bella Union is probably the best bet. It seems prices have shot up on Amazon, and almost all of the Discogs listings are coming from Europe. It should come out to around $32 shipped from Bella Union, sorry, I know it's not the cheapest. If someone else knows of a place to get it cheaper that I've missed please jump in

No worries at all. They have a "winter sale" section on their website, so I'm getting the newest Laura Veirs album for $13.99 which comes out to $48 shipped for the two of them so it's not a bad deal.

Yay! I'm happy to hear that ^_^ many thanks for giving this album a shot and I'm glad that you're digging it! Hope the record arrives safe and sound

Cross post from What’s Spinning!

First spin! I agree with, I think it was, @Lee Newman in thinking that this one sounds a bit like FlyLo crossed with pop tunes. It’s an interesting first listen but I like it and I think there’s more to come over the next few listens!

So Dorian Electra did a livestream with Clarence and a bunch of other producers (including Dylan Brady of 100 gecs ^_^) where they asked the people watching to help them make a song and this is the result. It's a fun little song about vampires and pretty impressive for being made in like two hours.

look at this absolute legend

Krustyland magic.

I feel like that thing needs a fork n knife

** @gaporter how come this donut makes me wanna pull out the album? legend status deserved.

Krustyland magic.

For most, perhaps. But for Clarence? That's not even the third biggest donut he's seen that day.

HE IS A PRO BFLY

Just wanted to take a moment to point out that today is the fifth anniversary of the release of No Now!

DEAD SCREEN SCROLLS, by Clarence Clarity

9 track album

I feel like I should have posted sooner, as I know this album has already been on many people's radars, but if you haven't yet I *STRONGLY* recommend Rina Sawayama's debut album Sawayama. It's one of my favorite albums of the year so far and Clarence produced the majority of it! It's a really excellent album and it deserves way more attention than it's getting imo. If you enjoyed No Now, please give it a go:

Also, Dead Screen Scrolls is now on Spotify! (Maybe Apple Music too? I dont have it so I dont know for sure)

 

[supahypeag]

This is a charming video that shows Clarence Clarity in producer mode. It’s worth a watch!

Hey! For those who purchased this, where’d you cop from? @gaporter

People were getting it from the Bella Union store but it looks to be sold out there right now

Unsure of the legitimacy of this site but it says you can reserve a copy and that it should ship in July

Idk if its temporarily out of stock and places are just waiting for more copies. They may repress it again soon? My apologies, this AOTM, along with Camaron and Kendra Morris (for the UK), are the ones that have been plagued by availability issues. Sorry about that
