Bounds follows Craven Faults’ second full-length album
Standers. Following loosely in the footsteps of 2020’s
Enclosures release, here’s another 37-minute journey
through Northern England via a lifetime obsessing at the
fringes of popular culture. New details and perspectives.
Dusk gathering.

There’s some discussion over where this journey begins.
Certainly, less than twenty miles north-west of the city, but
possibly much closer. Ironic given we’re searching for a
distance marker. A gritstone pillar is the prime candidate
– destroyed by lightning almost 200 years ago, and then
rebuilt a quarter of a mile away. A curiosity. Many a journey
starts here these days, as we take flight and head further
north and west. The tarn was drained in 1940 to protect
critical infrastructure. We leave the sounds of heavy industry
behind us to float weightlessly over the moors.

We pick up pace and hit those levels of repetition
engineered to the highest standards in Düsseldorf and
Köln, 1971. A gift to the world. At this point the altitude
is no longer clear; there’s no sense of scale. We could be
a matter of inches from the ground, but the patterns are
the same. Eventually we arrive at a hillside with no defined
boundaries. The limestone pavement is visible in parts, and
snaps us into focus once again.

It’s a little way east for our next stop, very close to where
the journey began on Standers. Documents from 1651
suggest an arbitrary drawing of boundaries, the distribution
of power and wealth set down in pen and ink and then
passed down through generations. We beat a path around
the perimeter. The divides still exist although the crab apple
tree is long gone. Melodies give way to bent notes and
dissonance.

We take a circuitous trip to Hamburg and Rome for filming
between February 11 and April 23, 1972. A slower pace.
Less structure, but emotive, evolving. The master touch,
indeed. One final job before retiring and living off the land
for the next 373 years.

Tongue Depressor – In the Quarter Column LP (Pre-Order)

Tongue Depressor (New Haven, CT) is the duo of Zach Rowden and Henry Birdsey. They write, improvise, and perform drone-based music with fiddles, pedal steel, lap steel, contrabass, organ, and bells, usually involving microtonal tunings and re-arranged/re-tuned fragments of American church music.

We are excited to be releasing their first music on LP to the world! June 4th is the release date and pre-orders will go out early so you should have them in hand by then!
Pre-Order is up now on our Big Cartel page here. 

You can hear a preview / teaser track here:

“In another time, Tongue Depressor’s ethereal tunings set into motion an unstable peace. With their bows, the duo conjured spirits to settle serpents. In another time, it was enough. “In the Quarter Column” showcases Tongue Depressor’s progression into an exploratory and singular craft, balancing technical ability with discipline, and magnetism with precision.

“Everyone Was There” features Tongue Depressor’s first use of magnetic tape loops, with Rowden manipulating recordings of Birdsey’s playing while Birdsey bows his lap steel in accompaniment. The hypnotic piece delicately reminds us that what has come before will come again, bringing decay and dislocation. Warbly echoes of what is past are present. The duo’s preferred territory exists outside of time.

On the B side, “A Singing,” Birdsey’s resolute playing of a microtonal organ merges with the moans and sighs of Rowden’s bass to illustrate a fresh lucidity that is patient and attentive. Demystification has disconnected the doors.

Grasping sound and experience from within, “In the Quarter Column” builds an apparitional world for the listener to inhabit. Once again, Tongue Depressor offers anyone with the ability and will to listen a very generous gift.” – Jason Filer (Crazy Doberman, Doberman, Gateway)

This is an edition of 312 records pressed at Burlington Record Plant on Black Smog vinyl (appears black until held up to the light).

The official release date is June 4th. Pre-orders ship well in advance of release.

Pre-Order New Fiddlehead Album

https://redscrollrecords.bigcartel.com/product/pre-order-fiddlehead-between-the-richness-lp-amber-cloud-vinyl-ltd-to-1000-copies

The Amber Cloud color variant of the Fiddlehead “Between the Richness” LP on Run for Cover Records.

Release Date: May 21, 2021

Fiddlehead wasn’t supposed to make a second record. But, if we’re being totally honest, they weren’t supposed to make their first record either. Formed in what singer Pat Flynn describes as “a deeply, deeply, laughably depressing part of my life,” Fiddlehead was born with modest intentions. Flynn and his then-roommate, guitarist Alex Dow, decided to work on some songs, and with Basement having just broken up, guitarist Alex Henery entered the fold. Drummer Shawn Costa and bassist Adam Gonsalves—who has since been replaced by Casey Nealon—linked up with them and, all together, they wrote what would become the Out Of The Bloom EP. Those five songs established what Fiddlehead would be, a band that merged elements of post-hardcore, post-punk, and classic ‘80s emo into something that felt distinctly theirs.

 

After the release of their debut album Springtime & Blind, the band did some weekend-long tours, and saw that their music was hitting people harder than they ever expected. “Kids were singing along in a very desperate way and we realized it wasn’t just resonating with us, it was resonating with these people in a really meaningful way,” says Flynn. Springtime & Blind was a hit for many reasons, but chief among them was Flynn’s open-hearted exploration of his father’s passing, which saw him use his lyrics as a means of relating to and understanding his mother’s grief. So when it came time for Fiddlehead to work on a second record, people weren’t just curious what the songs would sound like, they were curious what they’d even be about.

 

Between The Richness effectively picks up where Springtime & Blind left off, as Flynn dives headfirst into that same subject. But astute listeners will notice a major difference this time: Flynn is singing about himself. “These massive things happened in my life between the first record and this record. It just so happened that I ended up getting married, I had a child, and it was around the 10-year anniversary of my father’s passing. So what if I want to write another record about how I feel about the loss of my father? Will people be like, ‘Pick another topic, dude.’ So, the opening track is called ‘Grief Motif’ because it’s the idea that this is an eternal struggle that will never go away. Take it or leave it, but it will be part of this dude as long as he’s got a pen in the hand.”

 

Between The Richness explodes with an energy that usurps that of Springtime & Blind. The guitar riffs of Dow and Henery are their most anthemic and combustive yet, making songs like “The Years,” “Get My Mind Right,” and “Down University” not just serve as the backbone for Flynn’s personal ruminations, but empathetic, emotional musical stabs that hit the listener just as hard. Meanwhile, Costa and Nealon give the songs a propulsive heft, allowing a track like “Million Times” to dart into unexpected territories without ever feeling alien.

 

But at the center if it all is Flynn. He’s a different person than he was on Springtime & Blind, because he’s now a father himself. And that experience colors the journey he goes on throughout the album. “My son’s name is Richard and my father’s name is Richard, so it’s literally between the two of them. But it’s also the richness of life and the richness of death. It was important for me to capture that perfectly paradoxical feeling,” says Flynn. “We started writing this record two weeks after my son was born, and it’s a really great way for him when he’s older—and when I’m gone—to say, ‘My father wrote this in the first year of my life. What does that mean?’” It’s an attempt to put words to that strange place we all exist in, that place between the richness.
