The Studio - West Coast

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcL-RjPomNg

Love this - it's the most Studio-est thing that Lissvik has done in ages (unless I missed something)

i just realized that atelje means studio in swedish

that explains so much about the lampshades and high heels ive been getting with my saved search on eBay for "atelje"

I knew atelje was studio but somehow have always been blind to the fact that that comes from 'atelier'.

oh doy of course

Lissvik's been adding new and back catalog items to his Bandcamp: https://danlissvik.bandcamp.com/ (including that deleted archive, but here, in hi-fi)

damn, i have the 50 tracks that brimstead posted upthread. this has 50 more!
will i spend $60 on this? maybe...

Whoa!!

While we've been debating whether or not to make the investment, Herr Lissvik's gone ahead & trimmed 15 dollars off the Archive's price.

are people still not big on Midnight? I listen to that record all the time. it's great.

Playing Midnight right now!

Archive just popped up on Spotify—all 100 tracks.

https://open.spotify.com/album/6r7SvoXD5Hgg3xrNr8FLvd?si=Q1iINtCeTPmt7xLi5lDuTg

100 songs, 4 hr 32 min. guess I don't need to worry about what the rest of my work soundtrack will be for the day.

i saw something on the usual pre-order outlets for like a half second

was it a repress of atelje 50/50 or something new w/ a similar cover?

anybody know what i'm talking about?

I haven’t seen him promote it on his IG account yet, which is where I usually see stuff first.

can someone pls C90 go archive 1

it's all good

first read about on Discogs,

"Available to download from Junior Executive Soundcloud page.
Released to coincide with the launch of a mini-collection for Fall/Winter 2019 co-designed by Dan Lissvik and Junior Executive, includes some Atelje demos and unreleased edits.
File name: AteljeTape_14Aug-16bit.wav"

I love it when this thread is revived. It reminds me that of all the many obscure gems this forum has introduced me to in my capacity as a 13 year mainly-lurker, the Studio album is the best. It also led me to A Forest by The Cure which didn’t hurt either.

West Coast by Studio is my favorite album in the last 20 years. There have been a couple Atelje posts containing musical equipment and talk of being in the studio, so hopefully he'll release some more music soon.

reminder to self: listen to that Lissvek Bandcamp filedump some more

^seriously, so much gold. surprised more people here didn't go crazy over it at the time

Looks like some of Archive 1 will be released on vinyl later this year and new music in 2020.

I, like the article don, am a decade-plus mostly lurker for whom ilx has served as an introduction to a lot of amazing music I’d otherwise never have heard. And the one that I’m maybe the most grateful to have in my life is Studio - West Coast.

As far as Lissvik/Atelje I like the Meditation album and 50/50 / Zephyr

I'll fourth the sentiment.

I was just last weekend telling a friend, who, (a) naturally, hadn't ever heard of ILM's open Studio secret whilst (b) playing "West Coast" for her, that it's easily in my Top 10 of the 2000's, if not Top 10 all-time.

So yeah, pretty much any hint of activity by Lissvik (or the five years dormant {?} Hagg) and I chase it knowing it's unlikely to be another LP (much less EP) as front-to-back perfect as this one but I'll take hints of/odes to what's past in whatever's new.

I agree studio roolz, make more music and less shirts Dan

lissvik's ig story tipped to a new vinyl release of a handful of archive tracks

nothing new yet though

it's progress and that gives me hope

that’s cool, I was just checking the other week to see if any of that archive stuff had been released physically

Lissvik posted "Artprint for upcoming vinyl release" on insta 3 days ago.
Then snuck into the comments that it's going to be a 4 LP (50 tracks) release of Archive.

hell yeah

hope it doesn’t sell out in 3 seconds like everything else these days

This is now on sale. Total w/ shipping to the US is $136.

says limited to 200 copies, so be quick.

i went to look at it with no intention to purchase just to see the art and everything but now i'm 1140 kroner poorer wth

Would love this. Checked how much 850kr was. I’ll stick to digital

for $136 you could buy a near mint copy of west coast 2LP and have enough left over for dinner

well i can’t spend that right now, oh well, another one bites the dust

no “practice”, did that ever make it on wax? was it a bonus track on some edition of 7-Trx?

I didn't check the tracklist carefully, but that's an odd omission. I'm curious if he plans on a stand-alone 12" for that. If you don't have The Crepes LP yet, pick that up. It's relatively inexpensive considering how good it is. I freaking love that album. Short and perfect.

ah n/m “practice” is on disc 3

yeah I did own that crepes album at one point, wasn’t really into it

cosign on The Crepes album

Anyone got the link for the Archive 4LP?

Don't see it on insta

Found it here, seems to be removed / sold out now: https://www.atelje.com/shop/dan-lissvik-archive-1ish-lp-edition

It was really pricey

https://www.discogs.com/sell/release/15833567?ev=rb

one copy on Discogs, looks reasonably priced to me, considering this is limited and there's no chance it will be repressed in this 4LP format.

back on sale

whoa thanks for posting! literally emailed him a couple weeks ago asking if he had plans to repress it lol

came to around $92 total with shipping to us, fwiw

he announced it on his instagram (atelje_) which is mostly about his art and clothing line and family and not very much about music but nevertheless super dope and 100% worth following if you're on insta
