at once foreign and familiar, desert sound colony brilliantly scores a nostalgic journey through the proverbial looking glass. the plaintiff vibe of the way i began envelopes the listener in warm guitar licks and hushed vocals, transporting them to a time when innocence and insecurity gave way to transcendence. the road takes a turn with fire egg, a classic stomper that drives introspection with looping guitar melody and bouncy bass. and before we return to size, iris carries us further inward with scattered claps and a skipping kick, before releasing us into a deep and chugging, eyes-wide-shut, euphoric roller.

if vocals of 90s acts like bjork and massive attack, to the choral of female crooners that came out of scandinavia in the 2000s hit a sweet spot, than the voice of gry bagoien will be a welcomed sound. here for scissors & thread, with the help of francis harris and jordan lieb (aka black light smoke), the danish singer debuts on the american label under her own name (rather than using her known gry alias). she delivers a four-track ep of smokey, abstract house music and throughout phantom power bagoien s voice sounds as though it s being projected through an oversized telephone speaker, either in a jazz club next to miles davis, a studio full of deep efdemin arrangements, in the wilderness at a swedish festival or lost in a cosmos of reverb and delay with fever ray.

for some grungy vocal house music with a touch of chicago percussion and a healthy splash of the indie-synth wave that came crashing over electronic music in the late 2000s, scissor & thread s black light smoke might be 2014 s answer to danton eeprom circa 2009. we say danton eeprom, as the voice on the b2, -screws in my head-, has a similar tone and enunciation of the frenchman, or are we getting mixed up with mathew dear? the title-track, -firefly-, brings back memories of azari & iii s debut ep only with druggy vocals coming from what could be the basement of a dfa rave in new york, while -morning comes- borrows some cowbells from the rapture and sultry french inspirations from jane birken. -black bricks- then provides some slo-mo, lo-fi phase filtered house - and one hell of a bassline. alternative electronics for the indie lover

fresh dirty rough cuts coming from * black light smoke*

the new single portends the mood of the ensuing album, a further foray into harris signature blend of house, modern classical, shoe-gaze and noise which is the artists most ambitious and accomplished work to date. as the sole dance floor moment on the lp, *you can always leave* picks up where harris cult hit *lostfound* left off, with vocals once again from danish vocalist gry bagien and the heartbreakingly august trumpet of no regular plays greg paulus. the remarkable terre thaemlitz delivers an epic 12 minute remix on the flip under his dj sprinkles guise which is sure to make this 12inch a sought after piece for house music s analog enthusiasts.

the second ep from the canadian-born / brooklyn-based duo that caught fire with the underground hit * hands to hold* sees bob moses continuing down a melodic deep house path paved with sweet melancholic pop vocals.

the dynamic duo of lightbluemover (aka francis harris) and black light smoke are back, releasing a split ep on their home base, scissor and thread. “no cliché / poppa’s bag” follows two strong collaborations the pair released on hfn and poker flat, with the former yielding the dj secret weapon “girn,” and the latter making big noise with “idiot fare.” this latest ep includes the label debut of former beirut member jason poranski whose punchy and irreverent vocal on lightbluemover’s “no cliché” has been a flash point in harris’ sets the world over for the past year. on the flip we get two versions of “poppa’s bag,” from black light smoke which has similarly been featured in his hotly tipped live set. label mate anthony collins adds a dj friendly edit to “no cliché” which is exclusive to the digital edition of the ep

the second single from francis harris debut full length, leland contains three remixes of pharoah in the morning,one of the highlight tracks on the album featuring the phenomenal vocal talents of danish singer gry who performs here in here native tongue. two entirely distinctive remixes come courtesy of labelmate black light smoke and the other is by nsi.,who should need no introduction.pharoah in the morning remixes will be out on limited edition vinyl from scissor and thread soon.look for leland in february 2012.

given the challenges of todays music market, its a fairly bold statement for an indie label to come out of the box with not one, but two vinyl only releases by an artist with no profile to speak of, but here black light smoke proves worthy of the faith being placed in him. sat001 switchback/black stripe is all old school drum machines, tape-hiss, heavy footed disco kicks, acid-a-plenty and funk-to-spare, but the tracks transcend the rawness of their roots to achieve a modern, club-ready edge with retro flair.

hand stamped and numbered - limited to 300 copies worldwide!
on sat002 lovework/decisions, black light smoke shows off his pop sensibilities with two sing-a-long summer anthems-in-the-making. lovework is a no-wave-inspired ditty littered with catchy analog synths, an ass-shakin bassline and reverbed claps juxtapozed with a haunting processed vocal from the producer himself that repeats, >you made a mess of my head. now i gotta put it all back together. theres nothing to say, over and over…< which is how this tune will be playing in your head after one listen. on the flip we get a taste of black light smoke in deep house mode with decisions, a lustrous and vibey joint that features a sweeter vocal by suavecito, a new guise of dj/producer and vocalist who is well known by another name. here more analog synths produce wickedly buoyant bass lines and swirling pads that combine with bubbly piano stabs and little vocal sample/edits for what sounds like it could have been a naked music release had the label been operating in 1990.

any which way starts with a classic dancefloor siren before launching into an almighty beat that blends classic disco with the modern day.... carte blanche just even more progressive 2010 way

die bandbreite der zwoelf songs reicht von frickeliger indie elektronik, angereichert mit spaßigem geraeuschchaos, über poppig-housige minimal tracks mit ear-catcher-hooks bis hin zu sensiblen singer-songwriter miniaturen und aetherischen athmos. die beats – ob housig oder als rockig angehauchtes live-schlagzeug eingesetzt – sind niemals nur funktionaler natur. sie fühlen sich immer ganz dem song verpflichtet. in eine schublade pressen laesst sich in a manner of sleeping nicht – eklektizismus und ploetzliche ueberraschungen durchbrechen jedes genrekorsett.

das neue album von holding absence ist ein zeugnis dafür, dass die geschichte unseres lebens nie vollständig erzählt ist und sich in jedem moment möglichkeiten für veränderung und wachstum bieten, von den tiefen der verzweiflung bis zur euphorie unserer größten liebe. ob man nun einem bereits malerischen gemälde farben hinzufügt oder den marmor abmeißelt, um die schönheit im inneren zu enthüllen, -the noble art of self destruction- - der letzte akt einer trilogie von alben, die das erste kapitel der karriere von holding absence umfasst - spricht davon, dass jeder von uns ein unvollendetes kunstwerk ist, dessen neue bedeutungen und qualitäten darauf warten, entdeckt zu werden.

remastered and available on vinyl for the first time.
