Marnie Stern: Vibrational Match (Demo Version)

-





Yesterday, Stereogum posted a demo version of Marnie Stern’s “Vibrational Match,” the opener of her first album, In Advance of the Broken Arm. Along with the track was news of a cassette release of pre-Advance demo recordings simply titled, DEMO.  Better title?  How about In Advance of In Advance of the Broken Arm?  Too long?

The release is being issued by Dog Daze Tapes as DD-002 along with a digital download.  Hopefully, SOME of you still have tape decks, because I’ve been seeing a lot of cassette-only releases having surfaced over the last year or so. Apparently, there’s still some love left for the format.  The tape is $7.50.

Sincerely,
Letters From A Tapehead

nice post! glad you're interested in the tape. we were thinking of calling it "in advance of the broken arm (demo version)" but i thought it would be too confusing and didn't want to deal with people who want the krs album accidently buying the tape and vice versa.

ALSO the cassette will be available digitally from itunes, amazon.com, etc. on tuesday for people that don't have tape decks.

Hi Ben,

Thanks for getting in touch.

Honestly, my comments about the name of the release were purely tongue-n-cheek. I could see not wanting to confuse people with something like this.

Glad you enjoyed the post and I hope you have a great weekend. I'll be following your blog so I can keep track of your releases.

Thanks for reading,

A veritable sea of hits began with Ellie Greenwich, who passed away yesterday at the age of 68 . "Leader Of The Pack" ”Da Do Run Run” Without trying, you've heard at least a dozen of her songs, her name synonymous with "girl groups," and a pre-lethal Phil Spector . Farewell to a hit machine.

The Mailbox Giveth: Sleaford Mods

Sleaford Mods Chubbed Up + Ipecac Recordings Released:11.29.14 Sleaford Mods is an interesting entity. Following much of the rhythmic and minimal throb of Factory-era post-punk and, of course, hip hop's rise from being a "sample sport," as Public Enemy once put it, to the largely trap-centric hit machine it is today, Sleaford Mods embodies a tirade-level synthesis of the two: a beat-powered device with which to bathe in poetic and profanity-laced commentary. The group (vocalist Jason Williamson and track maker Andrew Fearn ) gained some notoriety stateside with its 2013 release, Austerity Dogs , despite having been about five albums deep in its discography. The group's new release, Chubbed Up +, is a singles compilation that includes three previously unreleased tracks. It was released by Ipecac Recordings. The mostly repetitious loop'd loop of springy bass riffs and flat percussion offer Sleaford Mods the distinction of being the more sophistica

What I Heard This Morning: Breton

I received an email via Sure Shot PR that was promoting Hemlock Recordings as well as their new acquisition, Breton . The band has a new EP out: A digital release entitled, Counter Balance . “RDI” is the song I sampled and it is a post-rock-meets-electronica mixture that seems to capitalize a bit on Foals , (an assessment all too accurately made in the press release by a writer for NME). The melodies they pick, though, are catchy and “RDI” really didn’t leave my head all day. They’re not typically a band I would discuss, but I thought Breton were intriguing enough to note. ”RDI” Here's the press info: HEK010 BRETON - Counter Balance EP Digital release: "RDI" "Counter Balance" "December" "Pop Death" "Hours Away" 12" Vinyl: HEK010A: "December" HEK010B1: "Hours Away" HEK010B2: "Counter Balance" With incendiary debuts from James Blake and Fantastic Mr Fox , Hemlock has built
