RARE YOUTH P.O. Box 5662 Providence, RI 02903 USA email/paypal: rare.youth777 (at) gmail.com NEW RELEASES:
Keith Fullerton Whitman "Hallicrafters, Inc. / 10 POKE 54272+INT(RND(1)*25),INT(RND(1)*256) : GOTO 10" C36 Two utterly satisfying pieces of electronic music for automatic processes and modular synthesizer. To me, this just about sums up Keith's uncanny ability to blend technical prowess with an innate musicality - something that I find to be pretty rare in the world of "academic" electronics. Side A features an old shortwave radio run through Keith's ever-expanding modular set-up, while the B-side is fueled by old Commodore patches being processed by an iPhone and sent to the suitcases. Four different cover variations w/baby blue cassette shells. Edition of 200
Pak "Scented Glove" C30 Wasted and threatening tape music for recorded sound and voice, courtesy of Western Mass/Providence area creepazoid Lauren Pakradooni. Blurring the lines between woman and tape machine, Pak wrestles unwieldy feedback machines and cassette loops in fine New England style. For fans of psychedelic gutter fidelity and freedom of expression. Mixed xerox and screenprint covers, w/bright yellow cassette shells. Artwork / design by CF, printed by Lauren Pak. Edition of 100
Plane "Kremlin" C20 Johnson County guitar duos from Iowa's Evan Miller and Phil Ochs. I first heard Plane when I visited Iowa City - Phil was screening some of his gorgeous Super 8 films while Plane provided the soundtrack via cassette deck. It was the perfect tonic after a long drive from Chicago...with scenes of county fairs and kids goofing off in the Iowa hills. There's a wonderful melancholy to all these songs, and a great rapport between Phil and Evan...with just enough fuzz, tremolo, and finger-picking to put a large smile on my face. Very refreshing! Edition of 100
(D)(B)(H) "Not All Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" C40 Free and focused extended-jams courtesy of this rag-tag collective from Bloomington, Indiana. Recorded in 2007-2008, this tape may or may not include the following bunch of American head-trippers: Justin Clifford Rhody, Clare Hubbard (Caethua), Keith Wright, Jail (Coughs), Jeff Witscher, Dave + Corey + Davey (Puke Attack!), all the hot fighter #1 guys, Kray Fanny, Ben Myers, Greg Blakemore, Dorey Fox, Chris Barth + a few others. Recorded live (no overdubs) onto a small one track thrift store tape deck. Tribal and bizarre, not quite fitting into any of the pre-charted territories... Edition of 100
