machines

so this is happening.
his clancyness will have their debut studio LP out on fatcat records sometime this fall. they recorded it with chris koltay (lotus plaza, atlas sound, liars, akron/family) in detroit last year and this is the first song off it.
HC band will be hitting the road again soon.
be there.

"i'm happy that this video is posted on SFH 'cause it's not a home, it's like a nest for me. we started out together through trial and error and after one cassette and one LP we are friends and still going to do great and weird things in the future. just like this song – 'machines' – is about overcoming apathy.
let's overcome." –– JC

alone together

suoni acustici, vibrazioni elettroniche, lenti delay, voci sussurrate.
jukka reverberi, corrado nuccini, emanuele reverberi e laura loriga presentano ALONE TOGETHER. dieci date per rileggere i dischi e le canzoni dei giardini di mirò in una forma diversa. sospesa. lentissima. rumorosa.

"jonathan clancy l'avete visto e sentito in giro con gli a classic education. ora che averlo in italia è un'occasione più unica che rara (mentre leggi è su un furgone a portland, in texas, in florida e a new york, contemporaneamente), abbiamo pensato di invitarlo a santeria per presentare – in trio, con JB e paulp – always mist revisited, il suo nuovo disco (quasi) da solo. per l'occasione siamo anche più felici del solito di ospitare gli amici di secret furry hole che ammiriamo perché non si danno pace finché non trovano il disco giusto da pubblicare, con la copertina più bella possibile, il peso adeguato del vinile, la grammatura pregiata della carta e via dicendo. poche cose ma fatte bene. ci ritroviamo in questo, e una bella domenica di maggio è l'ideale per capire se siete d'accordo con noi."

stanza 43

studio vetusta presenta stanza 43.

"domenica 27 agosto 1950 nella stanza 43 dell’hotel roma di torino,
muore cesare pavese all’età di 42 anni. verso le 20:30 di quel giorno il padrone decide di far sfondare la porta. lo scrittore è sul letto, vestito, ha gli occhi chiusi, il volto disteso. il giorno precedente pavese ha lasciato l’appartamento di via la marmora, verso le due del pomeriggio prende il tram e arriva alla stazione di porta nuova, davanti all’albergo roma, in piazza carlo felice. chiede una camera con telefono, gli danno la 43 al terzo piano in fondo al corridoio: non è rivolta sulla piazza della stazione, ma su una piazzetta laterale. quel pomeriggio lo scrittore non esce, si fa portare un tè, chiede diversi numeri di telefono poi si reca alla sede dell’unità. lascia un messaggio: «perdono tutti e a tutti chiedo perdono. va bene? non fate troppi pettegolezzi». sullo scrittoio una copia dei dialoghi con leucò."

well. it's nearly march and we're still here, dropping two lines about what we're into these days. while those fu*/ing awesome BUZZ ALDRIN guys are about to head off to europe for a bunch of UK/germany/belgium/france dates, jonathan/HIS CLANCYNESS is packing for the first A CLASSIC EDUCATION north-america tour (w/ british sea power), prepping a 7" for tokyo's sixteen tambourines label and definitely finishing up tunes for his long-awaited first vinyl release on SFH, we're working on a few things set for spring/summer release.

a new CRIMEA X kraut/kosmische 3" cd-r will be out in a month or so. the HUSBAND one will follow a few weeks later. then we could have some exciting UK names with us, plus other buzzs to be confirmed too (including the first SFH-goes-paper release, maybe). looking forward to announcing everything else soon, ish.

while waiting, please remember to visit our brand new bigcartel.com shop, look at THE DECLINING WINTER 'killer' video again and again, attend our screening of the beautiful AN ISLAND music-film by efterklang and vincent moon featuring our beloved PETER BRODERICK, listen to the 2L mixtape GLEN JOHNSON recorded for tomm's radio show on RCDC and follow our friend BANJO OR FREAKOUT touring UK/italy/US.

take care. we'll be seeing soon. #luvbuzzs #staytuned #thankyou

an island

secret furry hole meets santeria meets efterklang meets vincent moon.

AN ISLAND is an unconventional music performance film and an abstract documentary about a band and an island. in august 2010, french filmmaker vincent moon and efterklang's 8 piece-live band met up on an island off the danish coast. the objective was to shoot a film. a film with the same length as an album, and a film full of performances, experiments and collaborations. over an intense period of 4 days efterklang collaborated with more than 200 local musicians, kids and their own parents, creating new performances and interpretations of songs from their album 'magic chairs' (4AD/rumraket, 2010).

hard format x secret furry hole

"that's one of the delights of the work, its small scale. another is the sense of something made by hand, with care, the sense of marks unique to each design. that is certainly the case with the cover of hauschka's 'small pieces': four panels of the small card sleeve bear the print of a roughly square block print, two red and two grey/black. on the red squares, there's a hair line that shows the block was turned 90 degrees between each print. the artist’s name also looks hand printed, the treatment and roughness of the ink a pleasure to the eye..."
