Just what had sailed in, and back out, they couldn’t recall…
The dissonant, blues-pop fog of Night Sides, the self-titled debut from Vancouver-based visual artist Zoe Kirk-Gushowaty, first swept us at the start of this year. It also found Fixture Records, who has since released it on 50 clear grey cassettes. Meanwhile, Kirk-Gushowaty herself captured a piece of it on 16mm film. Both excellent moves.
Everything okay; young forever.
Regal Treats | Don’t Worry, Babe
Shot by and starring frontman Gordon Byrd and his girlfriend Emily, the video for Regal Treats‘ “Don’t Worry, Babe” pulls off some Super 8 nostalgia quite endearingly. The Minneapolis band have a debut cassette out now through Cat People Records. Hang with the rest at bandcamp.
Exactly six months ago today, M. Sage performed his set at CMJ, hunched over a midi and guitar, Nathaniel‘s visual horizon spinning behind him. The rest of us were on the floor.
We are quite proud of this memory, that night, and have decided to re-enact it digitally—audio newly performed, motion collage reconstructed—for drifters everywhere.
