A feverish, deep summer night, broadcast from Bushwick, with the lights cut, an industrial glow… the buzz of a box fan and episode 31.

The first hour collected a few modes as of late: among them stunning new material from CFCF and Cemeteries, Denver droner Sister Grotto (who transfixed Portals family under the moon last month), an intriguing entry point from our friend Rafael, and Moses Sumney‘s improvised take on Laurie Anderson. The second hour belonged to Patient Sounds, meaning all 60 minutes of sound were exceptionally patient/from the PS catalog.

Hour One
CFCF – In Praise Of Shadows
John Taylor, Norma Winstone, Kenny Wheeler – Azimuth
Moses Sumney – O Superman
Alaska, 1998 – Yesterday everything was grey
Sister Grotto – I Don’t Feel Anything
Cemeteries – Luna (Moon of Claiming)
Mark Barrott – Cirrus & Cumulus
Steve Hauschildt – Where All Is Fled
Michael Price – The Attachment

Hour Two: PS04
M. Sage – Bermuda Nightshade
Meadowlands – Masquerade
Cliff Dweller – The Sound was Always Beautiful Under the Electrical Wires
Wrecked – Drum Songz 1-6
Luggage – Unseen Buds, Infinite, Hidden Well
Derek Rogers – Dis-in-gen-u-ous
Professional Flowers – Storm Rang
Minka Birds – Tourmaline Suppository
Rug – Equestrians

Join us in MoMA’s sculpture garden August 13th. Lower Dens are performing. S&S is DJing. There’s a Facebook event here, and more on the entire MoMA Nights series with Newtown Radio here.

Dreams of Yugoslavia with Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith

Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith - Dreams of Yugoslavia

 

Balkan decoys, elaborate and beautiful, affix, shielding a forgotten mist, a village; an archaeologist arches her architectural theory, squinting down at the photograph believed to be the only of its kind. The people, stoic and oversized, walk above rather than within… they must reside behind rather than inside, she figures. Water falls from the margin. But how—she scribbles into her fading field note book—how can it, with the homes so close. Perhaps they needn’t worry over being swept at all; nearly weightless, though real, floating, she determines, this paper town on a cliff.

Into focus: a frayed corner, peeling to another image beneath the first.

The archaeologist gently brushes off the original exposure, which, suddenly of its own accord, takes flight. Awestruck, she follows the winged photograph out the door, across a modest yard, beyond her wildest hallucinations, to the paper town, at water’s edge.

Snap, a camera echoes in the distance. A photograph ruffles its feathers.
