pittsburghs most loved sons, the modey lemon, rip through 3 years of silence with their new record, season of sweets. with one foot in the sci fi darkness of their last record curious city, one foot in their past garage angst ridden wreckage and one foot in the kautrock brilliance of the german frontier (what, three feet?) season of sweets is a fuzzed out, driving masterpiece with catchy hooks beaten to death by guitar / synth mayhem and the anchor of paul quattrones drums of passion. as primitive as it is futuristic, modey lemon is recreating the present, molecule by molecule, every second of every breath. the trio from pittsburgh returns with another helping of sugary sweetness that rots your teeth and leaves you wanting more. recorded during the dead of winter in pittsburgh, pa at the brass factory. mixed and recorded by jason kirker, member and principal noisemaker. the last 2 years have been very, very interesting for the band. after signing with mute recording in the uk and playing the granddaddy of all venues, the fillmore opening for dinosaur jr., the band took some time away to regroup and work on new material. the result is season of sweets. driven by drummer extraordinaire paul quattrone, the songs twist and turn through the imagery and dark rock that has made modey lemon famous. jason kirker (engineer and band member) uses various keyboards, moogs and instruments to make the sound more full. at the heart of this album is the energy and mysticism singer phil boyd leads you on. track number 5, become a monk is the more pop oriented and accessible track, with a great back beat and bass.

musically and emotionally, superpitcherÆs third full-length studio album, the golden ravedays is a one sound autobiography that exhibits the skill, feeling and style that the artist has honed over a period of twenty years, musically, and forty-plus-years, emotionally. and full-length it is: the golden ravedays is an epic album of 24 tracks that was released in january 2017 and is stretching over 12 respective chapter albums during a one-year period. the seventh piece of the golden ravedays puzzle will be released on hippie dance in july 2017. number 7 of the series introduces two further tracks of the sound adventure that superpitcher is taking us on this year.

side a features andy, music made by superpitcher in memory and admiration of a pioneer artist and his works. andy warhol looks a scream, hang him on my wall, andy warhol, silver screen, can t tell them apart at all, andy walking, andy tired, andy take a little snooze, tie him up when he s fast asleep, send him on a pleasant cruise, when he wakes up on the sea, be sure to think of me and you, he ll think, about paint and he ll think about glue, what a jolly boring thing to do. david bowieÆs lyrics about andy warhol mirror the groovy yet deeply moving emotion of this track. the music superpitcher imagined here is a pleasant cruise in itself and once you wake up from it, you will for sure think of andy. side b features yves. the track starts with a long introduction of harp music and then gently evolves into one of the more fragile and poetic pieces superpitcher has created thus far for the golden ravedays record. similar to andy this track is dedicated to an artist, yves saint laurent. what is clear in this music is that there is an intense understanding of the suffering yves saint laurent lived throughout his life as an artist and fashion designer. as only superpitcher can, he translated that emotion into this beautiful and touching piece of music.
