NEW TAPE OUT

Wed, 03 Apr 2013 15:12:00 -0400

Known for setting basements and other irregular music establishments on fire with his wild performances, Phil Diamond a.k.a. Scammers also tours incessantly, plus his last album on Lillerne Tapes was a concept album based losely on Disney’s Aladdin. On Conventions, Scammer’s latest release, the extremity and madness is toned down to make room for nine well-crafted synth pop songs, all of them incredibly sincere, and honest, and bursting at the seams with emotional energy. Although entirely written, performed, and recorded all by Scammers himself, Conventions is epic in scope and ambition. In his very own and un-conventional over-the-top David Bowie-meets-Scott Walker operatic sort of croon, Diamond delivers his songs with great wit and satirical insight. Whether you’re a shake your rump kind of listener, or more into auto-biographical humorous lyrical jabs at being poor, or young America’s idiosyncracies, the two meet in beautiful and entertaining harmony on Conventions. Recorded in way higher than bedroom-fi and wrapped in full-color skull cop J-card, we hope the fun and intelligence that went into creating Conventions will appeal to as many discerning listeners as possible. Phil deserves it.

The tape is available now. Limited to 100 numbered copies. Pro-dubbed and imprinted shells. See link below.

ONGAKUBAKA

Around this time last year I was gushing over Hazel’s Wart’s LP Together We Didn’t. 12 Months later and I’m here to gush over their followup cassette release, Regretful Dependencies. I seriously can’t heap enough praise on these guys. I’m confident saying they’re the best up and coming band in the San Francisco Bay area.Regretful Dependencies is the natural evolution of Hazel’s Wart’s previous record, expanding further on their foundation of 90’s Pacific Northwest inspired riffs running head-on into your favorite Dinosaur Jr. album. Production wise Hazel’s Wart hits a perfect lo-fi fuzz/hi-fi clarity sweet spot that a lot of bands strive for but few ever hit. There aren’t many bands that get me genuinely excited these days. Hazel’s Wart is exciting, and they have that “it” quality that makes them stand out from their peers. So get fucking excited. Hazel’s Wart has their music available for digital purchase on their bandcamp page and over on Skrot Up’s page if you’re looking for some new vinyl.Hurry up and buy some shit because these guys need money for weed.

Daniel Jones recommends Skrot Up on Electronic Beats:

“Based around a mutual love of audio oddities, it is the very essence of diverse. Each of the many strange and wonderful artists on their roster have a unique sound, yet all still ‘fit’ somehow into the larger ideal of the label.”
