We Were Promised Jetpacks:These Four Walls: 10th Anniversary (gold vinyl),LP,ROCK
www.bullmoose.com
> Limited 10th Anniversary Edition of the band’s acclaimed debut LP
> 2xLP on Gold Vinyl
> Release features unreleased demos, radio sessions, and live recordings
To celebrate their debut album’s 10th birthday, and just in time for their upcoming US tour this summer, We Were Promised Jetpacks release an ‘Expanded Anniversary Edition' of These Four Walls, including 8 previously unreleased tracks and packaged in imported 2xLP Gatefold colored vinyl.
The unreleased tracks feature demos (including the demo version of their hugely successful breakout track ‘Quiet Little Voices'), acoustic sessions (including a cover of ‘Modern Leper’ by fellow Scots and good friends Frightened Rabbit), and live tracks from a very early gig at Barfly in Glasgow, which has since closed.
Tracked with Ken Thomas (Cocteau Twins, David Bowie) and mixed by Grammy winner Peter Katis (The National, Frightened Rabbit), We Were Promised Jetpacks’ These Four Walls has become a modern classic, with the sort of peerlessness to stand as a mainstay and luminary of indie music in the 21st century.
Says lead singer Adam Thompson: "We started our band at high school. A few years later when we went to record our debut album we didn’t have any grand expectations. I certainly didn’t expect it would lead to us still writing and playing music together. We are incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to play so many shows to so many people over the years. And I’ll always feel proud of writing t his album, with my friends, that resonates with so many of you. We decided to do some shows and to re-release the record to help celebrate this milestone.

Yes! This one has been a white whale for me. It looks like the price on 'Cogs has gone down a bit, but this package is way better (and still cheaper)!View attachment 642

I'm with you. It has a few pretty good tracks. It also happens to be the most expensive album in my collection if Discogs is right. So shine on.

Laurence Pike - Holy Spring
“I hope,” says Laurence Pike, “the listener is as excited – and at times confounded – by this music as I am.”
It’s a feeling that most musicians can relate to, but there’s a certain intensity to the way the Australian percussionist, composer and producer expresses it that reveals something very special in the way Holy Spring was created. Multiple threads running through a life of improvisation have recently converged in Pike’s artistic process, leading to working methods where he is endlessly surprised by the sounds he produces. The excitement is imbued throughout; it is written into the fabric of every sound.
Improvisation has always played a role throughout Pike’s long and diverse career in music. Whether as part of PVT, Triosk or Szun Waves, or collaborating with Liars, legendary jazz pianist Mike Nock, DD Dumbo or the mighty Bill Callahan, he has long been a responsive musician for whom sensitive listening leads to spontaneous invention. Every motion, from the most minuscule flicker to a primal groove, is an expression of what’s happening around him. Which is precisely how he, and the ensembles he’s been part of, have been able to navigate so deftly between the poles of the familiar. Pike’s work has alwaysskirted around
electronica, spiritual jazz, post-rock and many other recognisable sounds, without ever converging on one single style or resorting to obvious fusions.
Now, he is formalising his approach in new ways, making this continual act of creation in the moment as unconscious as possible. “The aim for my solo work,” he says, “has been to use technology to expand the sonic potential of the drum kit, without ever limiting the capacity for human expression.”

This makes me super happy! They've been pretty much rooted to Chicago for years since touring their debut, releasing small bits of material here and there and playing lots of local shows. Pretty sure I've seen them more than any other act. The local crowds are devout regulars and always know all the words to sing along. Adam and Jason are also both in Lucky Boys Confusion which picked their local activities back up in recent years.
Lots of digital/CD-only gems on their Bandcamp: https://amtaximusic.bandcamp.com/

I never dipped into this thread in the old place (to save my wallet), but now that I'm spending significantly less $$ on vinyl from certain vendors, I feel ready to throw caution to the wind, haha.
Not sure if this was already posted in there, but this was a record that I was going to suggest in the exclusives wishlist thread just because I wanted it and the existing copies on discogs were all a little pricey. There's also a box set version for £65.

New LITA releases:
Hochono House is a re-imagining of Hosono’s 1973 solo debut album Hosono House. Recorded 45 years after The Band-like sessions that produced the rootsy Japanese Americana classic, Hochono House is an entirely solo affair, with Hosono himself handling all the recording, engineering, programming, arrangements, instruments, and singing. It’s a perfect distillation of the various styles Hosono has cultivated over his 50 year career, from his folky beginnings through his techno-pop era, to putting his own spin on the music of his youth. Rather than it being an exercise in nostalgia, Hochono House instead sees Hosono pushing forward as always, acknowledging his past while hinting at another brand new phase of his career.

Osamu Kitajima was born in Chigasaki, Japan on February 3rd 1949 and studied classical guitar and piano already in his childhood days. Later on in the 1960s, when Beat and Rock music became the hot stuff in the popular music circuit, he joined his cousin’s band “The Launchers” with his brother, before graduating from university. Osamu’s cousin, Yūzō Kayama, is a famous Japanese film actor and musician. In 1971, when Osamu was already a successful composer of TV advertising jingles, he moved to England for a year and developed an obsession for British Rock music, especially in the Psychedelic field. The Beatles, The Bee Gees, Jimi Hendrix, Deep Purple and The Zombies became his major influences and inspired him to start a solo career under the name JUSTIN HEATHCLIFF, which he adopted for it’s typical English sound. His 1971 eponymous album was a typical Pop Psyche effort for it’s time, but not long after he returned home to Japan, Osamu abandoned the English sounding name and further on merged Western Progressive and Electronic music with Japanese Folk sounds.
