supernowhere - In The Field

[maybenoots]

Looked at historical house listings today just to see what was up and there was a gorgeous 3 story painted lady victorian on a corner lot that was extremely well cared for and under 400k which is NUTS it has so much space and a beautiful yard and the hardwood fixtures were to die for

But the downside is it's in the middle of buttfuck supernowhere. Like waaaay up by the canadian border but like not even the good canadian border.

Supernowhere - Basement Window

[twitchytyrant]

This folder contains all of the music I purchased on Bandcamp Friday on 6 May 2022. It will be removed from my SLSK shares on 2 June 2022, after which I will apply my usual process to decide which of these albums will be placed in my share folder and replace this folder with one for my June BCF purchases. I recommend downloading the entire folder, then deciding which albums you'd like to keep for yourself.

Eva Aguila was a collaborator on a record I bought for cheap from Deathbomb Arc. Possibly a pseudonym? In any case it's hard to find any recorded material under their own name online. What you can find is this single which is claimed to be an excerpt from an elusive later-released album. I like it better than the record I found their name on.

A Tumblr mutual of mine linked the West Coast Choppas split tape (https://kittyonfirerecords.bandcamp.com/album/west-coast-choppas) and I really enjoyed Govlink's side of the split. I'd describe it as hyperpop breakcore, with more emphasis on the latter (usually I find it's the other way around). As it turns out, they've got a lot of tricks up their sleeve. 10 Chambers is an eclectic mix of footwork styles, while DAHLIA TEMPLE is straight noise.

Sexybeach is a collection of remixes in a style that probably gestated in the same [bacterial] culture as early vaporwave.

Well I kinda hoped the Headroom tracks would be included in the download for this split. In any case Landing is a band exploring the same kinda territory as supernowhere (FKA Gestalt), that sound that's almost space rock but lacking (or at least reducing) a lot of the drone-ish or shoegazey elements that mark the genre (though Landing associates their style with both "drone" and "shoegaze" - maybe it's more apparent in the earlier albums). Whatever it is, I like it, and I hope it's not going to be the next wave of "indie genre that I'm getting a bit tired of hearing all over the place".

I first heard morrrrrro on the 600 OVER!! comp by Psycho Filth/DJ Myosuke (see below), on which their track is a standout. I checked out their own discography (now bookended by the sendoff "GOTT IST TOT") and was blown away by every single track I listened to. I would go so far as to say they may be one of my new favorite artists. Of course, as these things tend to go, they aren't making music anymore. What a shame.

While I still count NURSE 2 as my favorite Nanoray album, Digimaiden is definitely the runner-up, but after Zapper I had been waiting to see if there would be a physical release before buying it (I don't hold out much hope for an N2 CD, but it wouldn't be the first time my favorite release by an artist gets snubbed in such a fashion, so I'm fine with it. mostly). As it happened, that physical release went up for preorder this Friday.

Pottery is a band I had sort of been following (maybe recognizing is a better word) since their debut single several years ago, but I didn't listen to any of their other releases until my friend included a song from their newest album (the one I bought last month) on a playlist. Now I can boast about owning their entire discography on physical media!

I'm a little buzzed at this point, so please forgive me if the following is a bit more shallow than prior descriptions.

600 OVER!! was the album I landed on when I effectively threw a dart at the board of Psycho Filth's discography (while aiming for the early 2010's). And it was actually my favorite compilation of the ones I listened to. Great high-speed hardcore beats with a lot of stylistic variety between artists and occasionally on individual tracks.

beat the black knight is sample-heavy filter-heavy techno in a similar vein to higera (but contemporary).

Ryoji Ikeda is probably best explained by the fact that he's referred to as a "sound artist" moreso than a musician. This "EP" from his 90's catalogue is a nice span of ambient sound art.

sneeze awfull is a musique concrete group from Pittsburgh that I saw live at a basement show for a couple minutes after I got there late. It's always the coolest sets that I miss.

Let's be real - you know more about Xiu Xiu than I do. This is the one with a guy's penis on the cover.

Video: supernowhere - “The Hand”

Amid a super busy, big name new music release calendar, it can sometimes be easy to overlook the understated. supernowhere, the Seattle-by-way-of-Vermont trio of bassist and singer Meredith Davey, guitarist and vocalist Kurt Pacing and drummer Matt Anderson make the most of docile, ornate post-indie rock without relying much on PR fluff to color in its value, and on “The Hand”, the second single from their forthcoming sophomore effort Skinless Takes A Flight, you can why.

With words culled from a dream of Pacing’s subconscious, the three conjure the mind’s energy in real life form over a rolling levitation of guitars plucking at the sky and harmonies formed in air. “Flying over hills, hills of green, all the pretty homes / I cannot see through my devotion, to those walls / Flying over heads, feeling free, grabbed by the hand it pulls me ‘round,” he sings. They’re among the clouds with no distraction.

Gavin Schlerf further animated the experience as a visual meditation. Let “The Hand” lift you below...

supernowhere’s Skinless Takes A Flight will be released March 2nd on Topshelf Records.

supernowhere are a band who came out of, well, nowhere (but technically, Seattle by way of a few detours that ultimately began in Vermont...,) earlier this year when Topshelf Records reissued their three-year-old debut LP Gestalt to recommended effect and promise of what may soon come from the indie rock trio comprised of bassist and singer Meredith Davey, guitarist and vocalist Kurt Pacing and drummer Matt Anderson. Recorded alongside Great Grandpa guitarist Dylan Hanwright, the band reweaved guitar rock dynamics emotive, meticulous. and melodically crunched through the boards in a manner where the nuance could only be defined by their own hands and thoughts.

Next spring, supernowhere returns with their sophomore follow-up Skinless Takes A Flight (again produced by Hanwright,) and carrying with that news is its lead single “Basement Window”. The song takes its time to process itself in shaping its sound and rumination, as the listen is more of a quiet build toward a rumbling climax. Inspired by a serpentine dream, it metaphorically doubles as a subconscious red flag on a personal relationship and transmits those thoughts through percussive-pattering confusion and Davey’s vocals pushing through the spindles “I saw there was a snake inside my basement and when I peered in to see / One quick emerged to chase me with a smirk upon its hopeful teeth,” her voice breaks over a cacophony of jazz-punk. “Oh, now can you hear the fantasy breaking the ghost guessed that you would be so cruel.”

The band self-directed its video with some creative help from their friends that percolates their sound and imagery accordingly through stop-animation. Watch and listen below...

Album Review: supernowhere- ‘Gestalt’

In the age of music as Content and a constant inundation of it, it probably should not surprise anyone that a self-released album could get lost in the mix for years and then resurface in remastered form with a proper label, and sound new as the day that it was given a second life. That is the story of Gestalt, the debut full-length from Seattle rockers supernowhere(formerly and coincidentally known as Gastalt themselves) who’ve signed with Topshelf Records and reissued the album under the mixing hands of Dylan Hanwright (Great Grandpa, Gulfer.)

It’s strange to, in retrospect, give a proper review to an album that has been living out there somewhere on the Internet for three years now, but after giving the album a full listen, it’s obvious that the trio of bassist and singer Meredith Davey, guitarist and vocalist Kurt Pacing and drummer Matt Anderson made a sound that deserves to be re-discovered since its original creation in Burlington, Vermont back in 2018 -- a setting that had to have served its influence of autumnal peaks in the cozily quiet, trickling guitarwork of tracks like “Hairspine” and “Paper”. Now based out of Seattle, supernowhere’s Pac-Northwest premonitions can also be heard in its crunchier acceleration points of “Fast Pilgrim” and “Double Happiness”.

The band’s super power may in fact be the allure of their hard-to-place pinpoint on the genre map, however, beyond Gestalt being a highly promising entry point into the underground rock world. Guilt by association with Topshelf’s earliest years, a song at the contemplative pacing (and titling) of “Truly A Great Night Like Many Other Nights” draws thin lines alongside modern emo rock, while later moments like the juxtaposition of “Thaw” and “Unthaw” roll with methodically harder corners that may suffice the palettes of intellectual post-hardcore stans digging into Unwound and the Evens. Davey’s phosphorescent voice share space with Pacing’s hush throughout, yet they equally bring the atmosphere closer to their emotions. In case you missed it, it’s well worth familiarizing yourself with the whole of Gestalt now.
