bluesanct recording corporation: or nice things for your earholes

it goes a little something like this:

my aim with the label is to release music by friends and people whose art i feel strongly about and to share these sounds with those around the world who need them… those who will listen and draw closer.

and if that’s not the perfect bloody reason to start a label (nevermind run one for thirteen and a bit years) then i don’t know what is.

in the beginning there was the day2 alliance.  it’s motto, something along the lines of ‘making home-made goods and slowly becoming your friends’.  bands include: drekka, static films, vollmar, elephant micah, darryl blood, annelies monsere, minmae.  bluesanct has been releasing these experimental sounds and disjointed folk musics (alongside others (including pantaleimon and low (he asked, they said yes))) for a while now.

their output over the years reminds me of a more folky less electronicky kranky.  releases are superlimited, superlovingly crafted, superpersonal and generally all round super.  man.

featuring the minimal, the sparse, the brian mcbride, the soft, the bewildering, the beautiful, the doom, the somnolent, the delicate, the cinematic, the beautiful, the textured, the noise, the lo-fi, the crackle of old vinyl, the eerie, the moody, the warm, the john peel loved, the belgian, the blissful, the melody, the fragile, the stark.*

* all of these available as plodding indie band names for fellas in tootight t-shirts and stupid fucking hats for a minimal fee.

there’s so much truly tasty goodness i could senslessly bore you with regarding bluesanct but it’s probably best if you go seek yrselves, lazy buggers.  or ask me laters and i’ll tell you how crackly gorgeous the work of drekka or iditarod or black forest black sea is.

anyway awesome new shit released soon/now:

the twinkly dronetastic fizzfuzzhum of synthesisia.  limited three hundred copies.  bit emeralds / popul vuh at their most celestial.  sounds bloody gorgeous.

and a ten incher from boduf songs – inviolate projection, blood from rome (blankets).  part of the art vinyl series.  again limited to three hundred. exclusive recording on one side, screenprinted image on the other.  housed in a letterpressed sleeve.  artwork by johannes hoie.

i’m a huge fan of mat sweet and champing at the bit to hear this.  a continuation of the southern/latitudes straight gait record, i’m told.  all murmured guitars and hushed doom.

oh sweet quiet apocalypse…
