GROUPER / YELLOW ELECTRIC

GR-010
Roy Montgomery - Music from the film Hey Badfinger
23 short and moody narratives, reminiscent of Carlos Paredes.   Solo guitar music and loops from recordings he rediscovered/revisited several years ago.  We've talked about how he feels they can't be altered, need to exist as they were in that time, in a skeleton form, a collection of fragments. A galaxy, or a sketch book; they belong all together.

Mdou Moctar & Brainstorm - Anar/Vanessa 7"

Collected from cellphone memory cards in 2009 and featured on the upcoming "Music from Saharan Cellphones Volume 2," the track gets the cover treatment on the flip by Portland's art-pop trio BRAINSTORM with their phonetic reinterpretation. Limited pressing of 500 with old school printed fold over cover.

V/A - Music from Saharan Cellphones
_A compilation of the most popular music circulating the Sahara desert on the unofficial network of cellphones -- where mp3s are stored, played, and traded in very literal peer to peer bluetooth transfers.The contemporary West African sound from the new school of DIY production with little or no commercial release outside of their locales, from spaced out Tuareg Autotune, Ivorian Club Jams, Mauritanian Synth, and Malian Hip Hop electro. Collected from memory cards by and released on cassette, the vinyl comes after a years plus of tracking down the composers.

50 Miles of Elbow Room

REV. CHARLIE JACKSON - Lord You're So Good, Live Recordings Vol. 2 LP
This collection continues to draw from Rev. Jackson’s extensive archive of private recordings that were usually made live-in-the-church on a portable cassette recorder as he traveled throughout Louisiana and Mississippi from ~1970-2000.  Included are several collaborations with outstanding and as-yet-unidentified singers, as well as what appears to be a previously unreleased solo studio recording, taken from a tattered, once-unplayable 8-track tape.  Regardless of the situation, Rev. Jackson was an enthusiastic, inspiring, supportive collaborator, who gave the same degree of commitment when an accompanist as he did when he was a leader or soloist.  Heartfelt praise of God, rather than personal glory, was the goal.  And, as his widow Laura Jackson has said, they also had good Holy Ghost times

V/A - Remolino De Oro : Coastal Cumbias 1961-1973
A follow up to "A Orillas del Magdalena", twelve more cumbias from Colombia's most prolific label, Discos Fuentes. Hailing, by all accounts, from the Northern coast of Colombia, Cumbia is the offspring of the musical melding of three cultures—the Indigenous, Spanish and African. Shaped by bright cymbals, an insistent bass line, eclectic percussion and brilliant accordion playing, these Discos Fuentes recordings remain raw, loose and unpolished. From dance floor hit to nostalgic ode—they come straight from the heart.

V/A - Wedding Songs
Originally released on Philips Ethiopia in 1973, this seemingly impossible to find LP is available once again to the lucky humans of the world. With a mix of modern and traditional instruments these fourteen songs go through the progression of an Ethiopian Amhara wedding sung in Amharic. With the trio of singers, Lemma G. Hiwot, Zenebech Tesfaye, and Selamawit G. Selassie, alternating turns at the microphone, and sharing call and response duties, a relentless frenzy of hand clapping incites dancing and smiles. The consumption of tedj (honeywine) and the swirling love of a wedding was captured in the studio with euphoric energy to take away to play over and over again when the festivities are over. With hand screened covers and an insert of wedding photos accompanying the liner notes, this is the next best thing to an invitation to the real thing. A co-release with Mitmitta Musika of Addis Abeba, Ethiopia.
