October 21, 2015 CROSS RECORD to RELEASE WABI-SABI

October 13, 2015 For Immediate Release CROSS RECORD TO RELEASE WABI-SABI JANUARY 29TH ON BA DA BING RECORDS LISTEN TO DEBUT SINGLE, “STEADY WAVES” https://soundcloud.com/badabingrecords/cross-record-steady-waves-1 (above image by Madeline Harvey) Two years ago, Emily Cross decamped from Chicago to the remote, idyllic town of Dripping Springs, TX with her husband, DAn Duszynski, who together form Cross Record. They rented a ranch that covers 18 acres, has a chicken coop and is located next to a bird sanctuary. Between 60-hour workweeks at restaurants, supermarkets, and nannying, she composed an album that absorbs any workaday commonalities and shaped them into her smoky, atmospheric and gripping second album, Wabi-Sabi. Recorded throughout 2014 and into 2015 at the couple’s own Moon Phase Ranch, Wabi-Sabi is a crystallization of Cross’ past music and her passion for art (she studied at the Burren College of Art in Ireland). For example, the scorpions on the cover of Wabi-Sabi (see album cover image below) were found in her bathtub (something she definitely had not experienced before living in Texas) and photographed by her, and she regularly draws and paints in a nook above the studio. The way we interact and adapt to different and strange environments is a theme that permeates throughout Wabi-Sabi. Most recording was done in the early and late hours of the day, with loons cawing in the distance thanks to that bird sanctuary. The ambiance of twilight evenings and orange dawns formed the heart and soul of Wabi-Sabi. The album contrasts Cross’ wispy, silvery singing and minimal presentation with the dark intensity of booming drums, thick guitar and destabilized electronics. It’s a record that can be loud, stirring and unsettling, but also quietly still and serene. Dusynski produced and engineered the record, alongside production from one of Cross’ close friends Theo Karon, while Austin-based musician Thor Harris (Swans, Bill Callahan) also contributed. Cross Records’ Wabi-Sabi is out January 29th on Ba Da Bing Records and available for pre-order now. Listen to lead single “Steady Waves” where Cross’ gentle vocals unravel as if from a spool, before descending into a heavy-hitting rhythmic stride.

Thor Harris on Self-Sufficiency
January 11, 2017 - Thor Harris is a musician, painter, writer, and carpenter (he built his own house). He was the percussionist in Swans from 2010 to 2016, and has performed with Shearwater, Bill Callahan, Ben Frost, and many others. He currently plays in Thor and Friends, who released their self-titled debut album in October 2016. Harris, an outspoken proponent of mental health advocacy, has published chapbooks of his drawings and writing. His "How To Live Like a King for Very Little” is a DIY classic. As told to Brandon Stosuy, 2636 words. Tags: Music, Inspiration. Thor Harris on self- sufficiency How does exercise fit into your life and help with your creativity? I got really addicted to exercise when I was 15. I didn’t realize what a profound effect it had on brain chemistry. I didn’t know anything about brain chemistry then. I lived with depression, and probably had it my entire life, but something shifted when I started doing push-ups, running, and doing sit-ups. I didn’t even have weights. I started this job as a roofer in Texas. So it was hot and hard manual labor all day long. Something shifted when I started doing exercise. Touring, of course, dictates that you’re sedentary a lot, just because of the travel. So I have to come up with weird ways to get exercise. Walking certainly is a really good one. It’s just a huge part of my survival as a human now. There are all these companies where neurologists work to develop these puzzles that supposedly slow down the atrophy of our brains as we get older.

SHEARWATER Palo Santo Label: Misra Catalog #: MSR40 Street Date: May 9, 2006 Format: CD
SHEARWATER Palo Santo Label: Misra Catalog #: MSR40 Street date: May 9, 2006 Format: CD ***NOT EXPORTABLE TO EUROPE*** 1. La Dame et la Licorne 2. Red Sea, Black Sea 3. White Waves 4. Palo Santo 5. Seventy-four, Seventy-five 6. Nobody 7. Sing, Little Birdie 8. Johnny Viola 9. Failed Queen 10. Hail, Mary 11. Going is Song Shearwater has transformed itself to the point of reinvention on Palo Santo, the band's fourth album. The first Shearwater release to be made up entirely of songs by vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Jonathan Meiburg, Palo Santo resembles previous Shearwater albums only incidentally. It's a thrilling, paradoxical record--icily warm, welcoming and threatening, sloppy and immaculate. The austere folk that was a trademark of previous Shearwater records makes periodic appearances in Palo Santo, but thorny forests of static and distortion have sprouted up to occasionally obscure it. The band also channels previously unheard influences; the driving staccato piano of "Seventy Four, Seventy Five" recalls early John Cale, and some of the record's more disorienting soundscapes could inhabit the same strange continent as Nico's Cale-produced classic Desertshore. "La Dame Et La Licorne" suggests Talk Talk covering "Madman Across the Water"; "Failed Queen" a grotty three-way orgy--circa 1970--between the Velvet Underground, the Incredible String Band, and Meddle-era Pink Floyd."White Waves" uncorks a swaggering and impressively heavy electric guitar riff, while "Sing, Little Birdie" might be some forgotten 78 of an old standard, warbling through a morphine haze. Meiburg and Will Sheff, who began their collaboration as members of the critically lauded Okkervil River, founded Shearwater in 2001 as an outlet for quieter songs on which the two were working.

I remember the day — I was in the seventh grade and growing at about an inch a month — when Miss Wood pulled me aside to tell me that I ought to read more serious books. She pulled down a copy Charles Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities and said, “Here, you’re big enough to try this.” I will always be grateful for her gift of that challenge and encouragement. The novel was beyond my grasp, but I was not about to admit that, and by the end of having looked at every word, I had managed to sit still for long spells, which may have been Miss Wood’s chief hope, and a good bit of the tale had somehow seeped

Vergessen, Verschwinden, Verstecken
# 2019/46 dschungel https://jungle.world/artikel/2019/46/vergessen-verschwinden-verstecken Das neue Album der Swans Vergessen, Verschwinden, Verstecken Von Jens Uthoff Das neue Album der Swans ist ein melancholischer Brocken, an dem gleich 26 Musiker mitgearbeitet haben. Und dann kommt der Moment, in dem Michael Gira alles auf die Essenz des Ganzen reduziert. Der Song »Amnesia« mäandert da in seinen d- und a-Moll-Gitarrenakkorden schon vier Minuten vor sich hin, die schwedische Dark-Ambient-Queen Anna von Hausswolff singt mit ihrer Schwester Maria liturgisch anmutende »Uuuh«- und »Aah«- Chöre, und Sänger Gira nimmt zunächst mit tiefer, monotoner Stimme eine Gegenwartsdiagnose in vier Versen vor: »Sex is a void filled with plastic / The President’s mouth is a whore / When there’s murder the audience roars (…) And everything human’s necessarily … « »Leaving Meaning« kommt nicht so laut, wuchtig und wummernd daher wie die vorherigen Alben, es ist eine Platte zwischen Folk, choraler Musik und Experimenten geworden. Es folgen zwei Takte Kunstpause. Gira hält inne, die zuvor angedeutete Leere wird nun übersetzt in Musik, dann wiederholt er immer wieder das Wort »wrong«. »Wrong, wrong, wrong.« Alles Menschliche ist zwangsläufig falsch. Im Hintergrund hört man Gekicher, Gegacker, Gelächter. Hysterisch geht die Welt zugrunde. Mit diesem vierten Song ist man endgültig angekommen im 15. Studioalbum der Swans, das den Titel »Leaving Meaning« trägt. Seit der Wiedergründung der 1997 aufgelösten Band im Jahr 2010 ist es ihr fünftes Album und das wohl schwierigste seit der Neuformierung. Denn mit der Trilogie »The Seer« (2012), »To Be Kind« (2014) und »The Glowing Man« (2016) haben die Swans eines der erstaunlichsten Comebacks der vergangenen Jahre hingelegt: drei epische und erhabene Postrock-Opern, sechs Stunden Musik, ohne – oder fast ohne – eine einzige überflüssige Minute.
