New CD available from the soon-to-be legendary NY label 'Install'. The album is entitled 'Allegory & Violence' and is a mere 8$ US. That's the equivalent of a single hit of Percocet and moderate guilt...nothing we can't handle. So please support the good people behind Install for putting their time & artistic energy into the risky business of releasing challenging music simply because it needs to be heard.
p.s. The album design is beautiful and is a limited edition release of only 50 copies. Here's the
link to the CD and mp3 samples.
"Sweet relief comes in the form of Allegory & Violence, the first hardcopy release by The Jack Bohlen Book Club. Being somewhat of an elusive figure, we won't focus too much on the man behind the JBBC, but what that leaves us with is an intriguing collection of field recordings, found sounds and numbers-stations, all either obscuring or collectively building tonalities, drones, little dissonances and hidden melodies that could be accidentally recorded from some distant brittle radio signal just as easily as they could be composed and performed. A true cross-pollination of academic sound-collage and careful compositional placement happens here, and we're pleased to be the ones to bring it to you." - Installsound.net
