delia gonzalez & gavin russom - the days of mars

new crystal ark on itunes

on emusic too...

^sooooo good. maybe not better than "city never sleeps" but still

good. maybe not better than "city never sleeps"

this, really. though i am starting to wonder if it's actually not all that good and i'm just predisposed to like it because it's russom

nah it is good

is is better than the previous one? not sure it matters

crystal ark put on a p great show at p.s.1 the other weekend btw

having only listened to the main mix once, I like it better than the last single, at least as far as "dance music". Not sure about the vocalist yet. a good diva is hard to find

i love days of mars to pieces. it's like my ideal vast space synth laser drone music. pretty much had it on repeat lately with oneohtrix albums

i've only heard the 2nd and 3rd ep, but i really like russom's no fun acid project too. it's kinda too noisy for the dancefloor, and too dancey for the noise kids- but i'd imagine that most people into stuff like black dice or eye's solo outings or the more cracked-out side of early acid house would have no difficulties appreciating this stuff

i believe no fun acid is carlos giffoni. russom has a remix on the b side of #2 and yes it's great!

ah, shit you're right. i though it was russom and giffoni, but i guess it's just giffoni making acid stuff with one russom remix. bah. anyways, it's all good stuff from what i've heard

no fun acid sadly apt imo, including the russom remix

is there going to a crystal ark album?

*to be*

It's been a long time-- like, five years long-- since we've heard from Delia Gonzalez and Gavin Russom, whose last recorded output was 2005's The Days of Mars. Now, Delia and Gavin are set to return with what looks to be their final release, the Track Five 12", which will drop October 12 on vinyl and digitally via DFA. You can stream the epic-sounding title track, which was originally an outtake from the four-song The Days of Mars (hence the title). The official release will include a remix from German producer Âme.

does anybody know about DELIA GONZALEZ - 'IN REMEMBRANCE'??

DFA put the new Delia Gonzalez up for preorder earlier today in case anyone needs to know. they posted a stream of a track on the preorder page too; it sounds like Lubomyr Melnyk to me, which is a good thing.

I still love Days of Mars too; I also never stopped mourning the Black Leotard Front album

not really finding much to love in this Delia album :(

I actually quite like it, but then again I like Keith Jarrett too

New Black Meteoric Star album! Declare a national holiday imo.

Great news! And I had a day off so yeah it adds to my holiday feel thank u very much.
(semi-related: there's a track on the Helena Hauff record that sounds very BMS to me)

Stoked for the madness, and looking forward to the vocal track - his s/t "Night Sky" was a big favourite; sounded like Hawkwind sounded in my head when I first read about them, heh.

Did anyone hear his Hail Of Arrows cassette from earlier this year that that Quietus link talks about, or the Knight Skyy 12" from 2012?

Delia Gonzalez Horse Follows Darkness
01. ‘In Through The Light’
02. ‘Hidden Song’
03. ‘Roulette’
04. ‘Horse Follows Darkness’
05. ‘Vesuvius’

Horse Follows Darkness is the second record by Delia Gonzalez, her follow up to the album “In Remembrance”. The title is taken from a werewolf genre film her 8 year old son Wolfgang had created. At this time, Wolfgang also turned Delia onto a genre of cinema she had always resisted - the American Western.

"Delia explains that what she observed “was all relevant - the album is based on our personal experience of moving back to America (from Berlin) and the journey that followed. The record is a manifestation of that, and what one creates for themselves under the given circumstances. Coming back to America, I felt like a foreigner and NYC / America felt like the Wild West. Most Westerns from the 1960s to the present have revisionist themes. Many were made by emerging major filmmakers who saw the Western as an opportunity to expand their criticism of American society and values into a new genre.”

The narrative of the record is one of re-encountering the frontier mentality that shaped the country but somehow never faded. This time as a foreigner. The genre of the Western remains pertinent, many of the same stories of that brutally deromanticised era are still relevant today. America hasn’t changed - the cast, times and settings have, but we still hold onto the same ideal. Horse Follows Darkness is essentially a modern electronic soundtrack for the Revisionist Western. Even the idea for the record cover is inspired by one of the most well known modern Westerns, Robert Altman’s McCabe & Mrs Miller.

The album was recorded with Abe Seiferth at Transmitter Park studios, which Delia likens to “going to the finest tailor”. Abe became an integral part of the recording, playing guitar and helping to suggest experimenting with different synthesizers, something Delia was keen to do. Delia refers to Abe as a magical and incredibly intuitive collaborator” regarding the sound of the record. The music that emerged from these recording sessions combines a range of influences - from the compositions of Erik Satie to ‘Salon De Musique’, the solo piano record by Su Tissue (of the L.A. punk band Suburban Lawns). The record also took on a much different shape and sound with the introduction of the Sequential Circuits Prophet VS, as well as a vintage Korg Poly synth and the Roland SH-101. The golden era Krautrock recordings of bands like Neu!, Cluster & Harmonia were touchstones as well, the repetition, swirling soundscapes and locked-in rhythm tracks.”

oh yeah

I never really got into In Remembrance but this sounds like it's gonna be great

is there a release date for this?

tomorrow!

whoa! need to buy this. thanks

uhh... the title track is a cover of LCDSS "Something Great" / 45'33" ?

Send me a PM if you want a Bandcamp code for this- I got an instant download for buying it, then a second code in the actual LP sleeve. First come first serve.

OK, the code's been claimed

“I’m the happiest I’ve ever been,” Russom said, “but I have my good days and my bad days. On my bad days, it really sucks and I wait until I get home to go to the bathroom—which is such a basic thing.”

from the LCDSS thread:

I suspected that was GR but he's unrecognisable these days. I wonder what made him change from weirdo wizard to... guy in a baseball cap and t-shirt.
