Save the world! It’s an imperative that looks different all the time. For us, the process always has a fundamental shape: release music to inspire, soothe and provoke, sending voices into the wild, blue (excellent) yonder to remind others that voices are best when heard, and to keep the conversation alive. As we have mostly worked with people who want the same of life and living it, our singing and playing partners have sent their own bodies out there as well, to further the cause, touring when- and wherever possible, as a way of life. As ever, we hail them for their service. Now, however, we are all confronted with a new set of tasks to master: to preserve the order from a safe distance. So like everyone else, our touring artists, OM - Ty Segall - Papa M - Alasdair Roberts - White Fence - Xylouris White - Six Organs of Admittance - Sun Araw - Mayo Thompson, are staying the fuck home, that we all might survive these new plague days. In short:
ALL MARCH/APRIL (and a few May) TOUR DATES ARE POSTPONED OR CANCELED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. STAY TUNED FOR MORE UPDATES AS THEY WORLD RESPONDS!
You cannot, however, stop the music. As of press time, we are still striving to circulate clean, disease-free physical copies of all the DC classics we have in print, as well as the new releases from Sun Araw, Jackie Lynn, Flat Worms and Sir Richard Bishop – plus those sweet Espers LP/CD reissues we just laid on your poor stressed (m)asses! That’s the way the future looks – but what about today? We got you! Freshly posted on Spotify, Apple Music and Pandora is “Disinfecting Wipes”, a space-and-time-sharing playlist, designed to address your fears and fantasies and wipe clean the slate, giving you not only a few hours of distraction today, but also an impetus to rise again tomorrow – and play it again, fam!
Hunker down and make the most of it. We’ll see you on the other side.
