New Restiform Bodies' album untitled "TV LOVES YOU BACK"


4/28/08

FINALLY some news, the RB's have "officially" announced (Bomarr already did in last december on the Controller 7 forum) their new LP titled : "TV LOVES YOU BACK". The release date : September 2008.
They also added 3 new tracks : "KKKmart Live SXSW 2004" , "On the Horns of the Beast" (Live in Paris Part 1 11/17/04), "Restiform Bodies vs WuTang" — and they redesigned their MySpace page.

More info from Bomarr:

none of those songs will be on the new record. 2 of them are live songs from our tour a few years back that never turned into studio songs.
we just wanted to change it up a bit and get some new stuff up for people to listen to.

we'll have a new song from the record up in the coming months.

the restiform vs. wu tang thing is just something that we found online that someone * did.

New Telephone Jim Jesus' track + press

« Telephone Jim Jesus "Things" »
February 13, 2008



Oakland's George Chadwick, aka Telephone Jim Jesus, grew up in New London, New Hampshire. The folks at anticon call the place "snowy," and you could say the same for his lovely, Baudelaire-riffing sophomore solo album Anywhere Out Of The Everything. The record includes cameos from Pedestrian, Why?, Bomarr, Alias, Odd Nosdam and Doseone, among others, but is also peopled with the ghosts of a longterm relationship: Amidst the beats, guest voices, and lush forward momentum, the fuzzy transmissions rattle with a melancholic underpin. On non-album track "Things," Chadwick stitches together a Gothic-leaning instrumental, a gorgeous, spectral tune that opens in near silence and debuts with this Drop.

Can you give us a little background on "Things"?
"Things" was made during an emotional period in early 2005, shortly after a break up from an eight-year relationship. I used sounds from a children's music education record where they played single notes on instruments to identify the sounds. I sampled several instruments and created my own little orchestration. I felt like it was a strong expression of the sadness and rollercoaster emotions that I was experiencing at the time. It was originally going to be on the album, but then seemed too long and slow to fit the pace. It was created about the same time as "Featherfall"* on the album and could be a sister song, from a period when I was making more orchestral music and focusing on melodies more than other things.
