So Matzah and I have been talking about the "bedroom label" quite a bit and since he's busy putting out his own records and getting ready to go to new york, I thought I'd tell you about a small label based in the big apple.
Achord Recordings: So I found out about this label when I went home to rhode island this summer to spend a week with my parents. So I drove up to boston to see my old employer and good friend p.david white. He owns Analog Keys , an analog synth repair/dealership/antique store. So I bought a synth and we went out to eat. When we got back to the shop he handed my a package that was from Brendan Ford.
Brendan Ford and I went to highschool together. We played music together in the jazz combo and he hipped me to zappa and tubeway army and all sorts of good stuff. He went on to Ithaca College and with a bunch of other dudes from westborough mass got a little collective going.
In the package was the We Are The Arm "Cares 7inch . It was put out by Achord Recordings, So I looked them up to find a cool labely consisting of Seth Olinsky (akron/family), Butane Variations, We Are The Arm and Phil Weinrobe.
I also knew Phil Weinrobe (pictured above) in highschool through playing in bands, anyway..he has this great group called Butane Variations which is some where between Simon and Garfunkel, Jim O'rouke, and Sun Volt. The song "goldie hawn" cleverly shrugs some political humor with "George Washington you better wash your hands they're stained, and can you taste your wooden teeth?"
so check it out, maybe you'll like it.
We Are The Arm....is Ford's band.....just listen to it, spazz controlled jazz to the max. Think deep you can find it....fast breaks, soft bongos, neat plaza's, romance.
music made without pretense or money.
