HAPPY BDAY AMERKA! NEW TAPE BATCH


TCC006 - Pigeons C28

On the trail of their Lunettes 7-inch on Soft Abuse and barely preceeding the release of Si Faustine on OESB, this collection of songs finds Pigeons exploring their inner realm. Originally intended to be a live release, TCC006 grew to include new songs (the intoxicating allure of "en rêve" and the luminous "Masks"), as well as homages to some of their favorite songs (Mark Bolan's "Life's A Gas", Dwight Twilley's "Looking for the Magic" and Jimmy Page and Del Shannon's "In My Time of Sorrow.") The B-side is filled with a live set recorded in the dead of winter on the Lower East Side and showcases songs from the forthcoming Si Faustine.

TCC007 - Future Shuttle - West & Green - C28

Recorded on a sunny evening on Greenpoint's river edge, this live improvisational set from Future Shuttle finds the synth duo exploring temporal atmosphere while submerged in an infinite sea of newly born stars. Recorded live on a Sony handheld tape recorder during a Future Shuttle live installation at the opening of the Art Unit at West & Green on April 13th 2010. The recording featurs Camilla Padget-Coles and Jessa Farkas on synthesizers and Lizzie Harper on Flute.

ALL TRACKS ARE GAMES RE-EDITS

005 | Family Portrait

The morning after their reunion at the Micro-Pixel-Rites loft jam, Family Portrait reconvened in Brooklyn to jam on Sunday Brunch radio. While Mimoun, Sawyer and Brody played together for the first time in months the night before, their live radio jam was the first time all four original members of Family Portrait had played together since the inaugural Underwater Peoples Summer Showcase in August of 2009. Familiar faces sat indian style on the floor in awe. A few choice words from some in attendance:

"It was a heavy session fueled with heavy smoke blasts and riffs, cyclical and meditative like a balloon that keeps floating upward." Matt Mondanile

"I couldn't see much of anything because there was so much smoke, but I'm pretty sure there were about 10,000 people in the studio that day -- not to mention all the tailgate parties in front of the high school outside." Emilie Friedlander, Visitation Rites

"There was definitely a morning-after vibe during that brunch set. Possibly out of consideration for our hangovers, their usual heart-throbbin' rockstar nighttime vibe was replaced with something softer and, dare I say, more sincere." Elise Oh, Pixel Horse

"I walked in late, almost halfway through the set. A huddled mass of spectators glared up at me, wide-eyed, and almost cautionary. Dark Magic was brewing. A single howl arose from Family P's uncharacteristically murky depths: 'Call me Mr. Flintstone, I can make your bed rock!'" Alex Bleeker

004 | Cascaders C24

Permeating from the depths of Slob City, Cascaders channels the buzz of a late night TV drone projecting silent infomercials onto lucid dreams. The musical project of Jamie Granato (Men & Women, Co-Founder of Group Tightener) is a luminous meditation on modern living in urban society, where the space floating between fits of consciousness is more telling than the random bits & pieces of memories left scattered on the street.
