Clikatat Ikatowi - Saxby's Gail

[marieslocket]

Dear Beloved,

It isn't a secret that know that you know more about music, espcially emo music, than me. It was one of the reasons I wanted to get to know you in the first place. You always found a way to make me feel understood, and I don't know if I'm ever going to find another person who understands me the way you do. This is an album that I would love to talk to you about. You'd probably explain how influential this album's weird rhythms and strained screamy lyrics. For now, I'll just pretend that you're thinking the same thing.

Clikatat Ikatowi reformed?!??

Band Recommendations

Following the 1995 dissolution of the quirky art-pop band Heavy Vegetable, guitarist/singer/songwriter Rob Crow and lead singer Eléa Tenuta regrouped in Thingy, which turned into one of the restless and prolific Crow's main creative outlets. Both natives of the San Diego area, Crow and Tenuta added bassist Jason Soares (formerly of Loader, Rice, and Stacatto Reads) and quickly cut a seven-song EP, Staring Contest, which was released on Heavy Vegetable's old label Headhunter/Cargo in 1996. Its drummerless, mostly acoustic approach was a marked departure from Heavy Vegetable's short, fractured, progressive compositions and punk roots. It was only temporary, though, as drummer Mario Rubalcaba -- also of the Black Heart Procession and formerly of cult emo faves Clikatat Ikatowi -- subsequently came on board. The band plugged their instruments back in for their first full-length effort, 1997's Songs About Angels, Evil, and Running Around on Fire, which bore a stronger resemblance to Heavy Vegetable's work. Meanwhile, Crow and Soares both moonlighted as part of synth minimalists Physics; Crow also made some solo recordings, both under his own name and as Snotnose, and worked with punkers Fantasy Mission Force and indie popsters Optiganally Yours.

With all the side projects going on, it took Thingy awhile to craft its second album. The same quartet lineup finally released To the Innocent in 2000, this time on the Absolutely Kosher label. Rubalcaba subsequently left the band to move to Chicago, while Soares also departed to focus on Physics and its posthumous offshoot, Aspects of Physics. Rubalcaba's replacement was Brent Asbury, while Soares was replaced at first by Physics bandmate Cameron Jones, who also doubled as the drummer for Crow's other main band of the time, Pinback. Jones moved to Portland in 2001, where he founded Two Guys with his brother Ryan; he was replaced in Thingy by Kenseth Thibideau. Crow concentrated mainly on Pinback for the next several years, but continued to work on new material with Thingy, with a third album slated for some indefinite future date. ~ Steve Huey, Rovi

CLIKATAT IKATOWI

[cepheacephea]

El año pasado la pandemia de la COVID-19 hizo que comenzara con este proyecto, reuniendo textos publicados en algunos medios mexicanos, junto con otros inéditos que surgieron en el confinamiento. A casi un año de sacar el primer número (entre cifras de contagios que suben y bajan) está por salir la segunda parte de la venganza de los nerds.

Les dejo el link donde viene el “sencillo” en el que Cedric Bixler-Zavala recuerda algunas bandas de post hardcore noventero que influenciaron a At The Drive In.

También va la portada-contraportada final, con todos los textos que vendrán.

Every Record I Own - Day 658 + 659: Masayuki Takayanagi New Direction Unit Axis/Another Revolvable Thing 1 & 2

This is another album highlight of 2020.

I fucked up. Here I was thinking that these two live offerings by Japanese free jazz guitarist Masayuki Takayanagi and his accompanying ensemble New Direction Unit were some long lost live recordings pressed to wax for the first time in 2020. This morning I finally did my research and it winds up it came out on vinyl in Japan in 1975, just a few months after the performance. But this version by Blank Forms Edition marks the first time these records have been available stateside, so I’m including it in my year end roundup. 

I don’t know much about Masayuki Takayanagi outside of the 2019 reissue of his 1975 album April Is The Cruelest Month. On April, Takayanagi mangles and man-handles his electric guitar with the ferocity of Sonny Sharrock in his most uninhibited moments. It’s the kind of un-learned performance that likely strikes most people as completely devoid of musicality. Personally, it reminds me of some of the more chaotic DIY hardcore bands of the ‘90s---stuff like Antioch Arrow or Clikatat Ikatowi---in the sense that it’s messy and short on structure, but there’s still a strong degree of discipline at play that makes the energy and passion of the artist resonate in the listener.

The Axis/Another Revolvable Thing albums are very different from April. Restraint and tension are the guiding principles here, and even though there are moments where the instrumentation lashes out, the overall vibe here is an extremely sparse and deconstructed approach to free jazz. 

I bought these records along with a couple of other free jazz albums back in August at Wall of Sound in Seattle. Co-owner Jeffery Taylor rang me up at the register and noted that a lot of folks had been buying free jazz albums during quarantine. This wasn’t the first time I’d heard about this trend. I suspect it has something to do with the pace of our lives during lockdown, how there have been fewer outside distractions. Records like Axis/Another Revolvable Thing don’t make for good background music. To me, they are very immersive records, and in order to really connect with them, you have to hunker down and let it envelope you. You have to allow yourself to be transported into the performance. And if you’re options for the evening involve socializing and hanging out with friends, you probably don’t want this racket going on in the background. But if you want to be taken out of your environment, albums like Axis/Another Revolvable Thing can transport you into another moment in time, where four musicians gather on stage to explore negative space with intermittent punctuations of chaos, replicating the void of the universe with its speckling of celestial objects.
