Updates

The Leavitt Ours tape is being pressed as we speak, and will be available approximately mid-June. Holding the cassette will be a handmade case and artwork by our good friend Evan Lindorff-Ellery of Notice Recordings.

Vital Sound 1 is one song away from being completed, it's going to be a full-on psychedelic enslaught with the Atlanta side featuring All the Saints, Sovus Radio, The N.E.C., Sunny Muffdivers, Soft Opening, and Brainworlds. That side is full of ambient, driving psych, and some serious drone. The Chicago side features Rabble Rabble, Great Society Mind Destroyers, Killer Moon, and The Leavitt Ours thus far, along with one further guest on the way. Mind bending hard psych and no nonsense acid blues is the flavor of this side, with some eccentric aspects to boot.

Please feel free to inquire about either release at spectiveaudio [at] gmail [dot] com.

While you're at it, check out one of the most recent installments of A.V. Club Chicago's Tapes'N'Tapes series. Leor was nice enough to stop by and interview yours truly, and here's the result....enjoy!

'Spective Audio Update

The Sunny Muffdivers All Half Evil C26 have arrived! Crusty sludge psych doom from Atlanta...four relentless instrumental pieces that bludgeon the psyche with exercises in repetitive fuzz lines, from Link Wray to Wooden Shjips. Rhythmic at their core, this release is psychedelic in the tradition of bending the mind through sonic attack. This is not a laid back, airy psychedelic journey. Through the four pieces, the band traces their steps, exploring familiar landscapes obscured by distant memories, through approaches that often wash over the listener.

Contact spectiveaudio [at] gmail [dot] com to inquire, or contact spectiveaudio [at] gmail [dot] com through PayPal to arrange shipment and payment.

CURRENTLY AVAILABLE

The N.E.C. B-Sides (C45, tinted red, limited) $5 (rock / pop / psychedelic)

Cinchel, drone.dump (C60, solid green, handmade art, limited) $5 (drone)

The Sunny Muffdivers, All Half Evil (C26, translucent neon, limited) $5 (psychedelic / drone)

Shows / News

It's promo week! Spective Audio releases CS1 and CS2 will be available on March 2, 2010. Please feel free to send pre-sale inquiries to spectiveaudio@gmail.com.

-Go support Travis Bird and Dan Burke, of Notice Recordings, at Enemy on February 19. The doors are at 9, show at 10:30. They are a guitar duo that utilizes driving, abrasive rhythmic attacks and swirling, chiming cycles, calling to mind the clausterphobia and tension of early Sonic Youth and Television with their guitar timbre. Their most recent recordings are available from their WNUR appearance, and they have a forthcoming release with Notice, 2 Guitars, No waiting.

-'Spective Audio / Double Phantom /[ove:evo] artist The N.E.C. will be busy at the end of February/early March, playing at 529 in Atlanta on February 19, with Jeff The Brotherhood and Screaming Females. They are supporting Man or Astro-Man?, alongside Atlanta psych-rockers All The Saints, on March 5, 2010 at Whirlyball in Roswell, Georgia.

Their cassette, SPCTV CS1 B-Sides, will be available at both shows, and the 529 show will be the first time you can pick up one of those tapes in person. Also be sure to check out their latest studio release, Is, available from [ove:evo]/Double Phantom.

-In general, support the work of Evan Lindorff-Ellery, sound artist, and Travis Bird, multi-instrumentalist, and their endeavor, Notice Recordings. They are two of the most principled musicians and fanatics about music that I have ever met, and their vision is available on cassette.

-Check out what local soul band Ol' Boy are doing on 735 W. Sheridan. They are hosting a series of shows at Angel Island. Low cover costs, new artists, and open mic featured.

-Leavitt/Ours will be playing at Angel Island March 10, showcasing new songs after a three month hibernation. New songs are jazzy, ambient, poppy, and just plain fun.
