The Studio - West Coast

Everslick is my pick so far.

dled this and dug it upon first listen. wish it was longer tho.

those poster prints on the website are particularly rad

Some words from Dr Rob over at Testpressing:

http://testpressing.org/2014/12/atelje-meditation-vinyl-export/

LP doesn't come with a download but he emailed and said "check here" with a link to Pirate Bay and a winky emoticon!
I bought the record, though - it's real pretty lookin'

I'll be a little grumpy, but the LP is now available for preorder from Phonica, where it would have cost me ~$37, incl. shipping to NY. Ordering directly from the artist, on the other hand, was ~ $46. Imo, he might have thrown in a download too at that price... [/end of complaint, the album sounds nice]

Well, that's fucked up. It should always be cheaper directly from the artist. I feel a little cheated now. Maybe I'll buy a 2nd copy and flip it to make up the difference.

Aw why did you tell me that? Also paid the $45 here in NJ... Oh well.

Actually it looks like the price through Phonica is higher than through Atelje, so it comes down to shipping. Probably unaware of how the difference screws over US buyers in our case.

2. Dan Lissvik - Airwalk - Smalltown Supersound @ ~17 mins.

Wondering if that track and "Shuvit", which was played on Beats in Space, are part of some upcoming solo Lissvik release on Smalltown Supersound.

yeah a 12" Shuvit b/w Airwalk will be on Smalltown

although now that i say that i can't find anything online to confirm. swear i read it somewhere. says on amazon it will be released in Feb, but doesn't have the label listed.

can't wait to hear this.

i love it, most similar to lissvik's other solo lp, but feels more complete. but yeah, i really wish it was longer, a few tracks could've stretched out to studio-lengths

Arrived yesterday, wrapped in hibiscus-motif gift paper. ♥

haha that's awesome

funny, he actually used the same exact wrapping many years ago with that Crepes LP

mine arrived today, tempted to keep it until Xmas and unwrap it then

That sounds like a ...lonely thing to do.

it'll be a cold Christmas round at my house, only warmed by the Balearic vibes of Atelje

Sounds like the perfect Xmas to me

Jamie xx sampling Out There for Girl still weirds me out when I hear Girl in contexts like TV shows and it sounds like Out There's playing

Got my record in the mail. Have played it over and over today. It's so good. Something on side 2 sounds just like Woo.

Why did Studio break up?

Why did Studio break up?

i get the impression that this is one of those things that we, i.e. fans, will never know.

Looks like Meditation LP is sold out now from atelje.com

There were some extra copies for preorder at phonicarecords but those are sold out now too.

What TV shows has 'Girl' featured on?

i get the impression that this is one of those things that we, i.e. fans, will never know.

I figure there's no great mystery really they just got offered more lucrative regular work producing and remixing others to make it too difficult to try and concoct Studio follow-ups with such slight prospects of it paying off.

I can't find it but I'm sure there was an interview that hinted at some 'creative differences'

I always had the impression that getting all their 2nd-album (?) music stolen made them just throw up their hands and say "fuck it"

? Hadn't heard about that

The Studio - West Coast

OH! Actually, yes, I do remember hearing about that. Awful.

dammit I preferred my wrong theory

Well, at the time of the burglary Studio had already broken up (as per the article itself).

Got my copy of Meditation in the mail last week, but I was too impatient and bought the mp3s too. Now I'm just hoping that Shuvit 12" will not be a super ltd edition of 43 copies, available for pick-up only in Gothenburg :/

With a brand new 12” titled “Shuvit!” Dan Lissvik is officially back, under his own name. Having signed a record deal with Smalltown Supersound “Shuvit!” will be released 9th February 2015 and is the first in a series of 12”’s before an album is due in late 2015.

niiiice

Hideous artwork after the beauty of Atelje.

yeah, strange choice

disagree.

fwiw "shuvit" is a skateboard trick, that art is straight up thrasher magazine c.1992

yeah, that makes sense. i don't hate it, it's just odd considering the aesthetic choices preceding it

well Atjele's design was pretty maximal compared to west coast and 7trks

Good context gr8080, thanks. It does look like something from Thrasher mag, but I never liked that aesthetic back in the 80s either.

fair enough, but imo it's a rich design school of its own from which i'm sure lissvik will do great drawing from

really like the new single

the 80s skater aesthetic is tight but definitely not as classy as the other record covers / posters

excited for this

nice title connection to no comply (another sk8 trick)

Wow, had no idea that was a skateboarding thing too.

Looking forward to the new Lissvik album.

Feels a lot more like Studio than any of his previous solo stuff to my ears.

he's selling some 7 Trx LPs here:
