DISCOVER THE WORLD OF SANDRO PERRI:
ALL HIS CONSTELLATION ALBUMS – INCLUDING POLMO POLPO AND THE COLLABORATIVE PROJECTS GLISSANDRO 70 AND OFF WORLD – ARE SPECIALLY-PRICED IN OUR WEBSHOP AND ON BANDCAMP

 
Perri-Covers_1146x764
 

Sandro Perri is one of Constellation’s most diverse, fascinating, genre-defying and long-standing artists. Dating back to his acclaimed 2003 album Like Hearts Swelling under the Polmo Polpo moniker (which Pitchfork praised as “perfectly unstructured, structured sound”), the one-off Glissandro 70 record in 2006 ("a perfect balance between enjoyability and experimentation" said Drowned In Sound) and a series of acclaimed releases under his own name from 2006-2012, Perri has explored intersections of electronic and acoustic composition, instrumental and vocal music, with influences ranging from orchestral/ambient 'noise', tropicalia, prog, folk, lo-fi, jazz/improv, balladry, drone/pulse, electronica and alien synthetics.
 
Boomkat has called Perri "one of the most singular producers in contemporary music" and in celebration of his latest offering – the second volume of leftfield synth-electronic collaborations as Off World (Ed: this one isn't on sale, because it's new...but everything else is) – we invite you to explore Sandro's wonderful back catalogue and tempt you with some very nice pricing indeed.
 
During the preorder period for Off World 2, all of Sandro Perri's other Constellation releases are on sale:
 
LPs are $10, CDs and MP3 or FLAC are $6.
 
And these are cheap Canadian dollars we're talking about – if you're dealing in American, British or European coinage for example, prepare to be even more tempted. (There's a couple of 20-25 minute EPs in the mix where digital prices are even cheaper.)
 


BROWSE SANDRO PERRI TITLES AT THE CONSTELLATION WEBSHOP


 

Over at BANDCAMP, all these titles (digital only) are newly available and specially-priced as well. If you like Bandcamp – and you should, since they are a platform and business model that increasingly stands in stark contrast to all those shitty corporate-controlled, venture-capitalized, rent-seeking music portals we know too well – then please do also consider supporting them and us by shopping over there. (You get a wider selection of digital format options than our clunky old website can provide, in exchange for the slightly higher prices we distribute to them.)

NEW RELEASE: Off World – 2

CST127_Cover01_Front_600px


OFF WORLD
 
2


 
CST127    180gLP • DL    OUT 6 October 2017
 


NOW AVAILABLE FOR PREORDER



 
 
We are honoured to announce our seventh release of 2017: 2 by Off World, the second in a three-album cycle from the polymorphic project coalescing around long-time label artist Sandro Perri.
 
 
"What we need most of all is Off World. These instrumentals leave almost limitless room for dreaming, decoding, the pleasurable middle ground between mis- and understanding." – Sean Michaels, The Globe and Mail
 
"Off World is a stellar new project headed by Sandro Perri, one of the most singular producers in contemporary music; featuring some of the most inventive, spellbinding work in his catalogue. One of the most original and satisfying albums we've heard this year – can’t wait to see what the next installments bring." – Boomkat
 
 
One of 2016's strangest, most hypnotic and charming albums of experimental synth-electronic incursions/excursions was the first collection of Off World tracks, simply titled "1". This is the next installment, mysteriously titled "2". (And there will be a "3"...)
 
Sandro Perri is one of Constellation’s most long-standing and artistically diverse music-makers. The celebrated Toronto-based composer, producer and songwriter first released albums of hissing, pulsing, longform instrumental work under the Polmo Polpo moniker in the early 2000s, then moved into tropicalia-, jazz- and prog-influenced vocal music under his own name (with forays into dub and afro-beat tinged jams via Glissandro 70, his duo with Craig Dunsmuir).
 
Perri has been drip-feeding Constellation LP-length bundles of tracks cured and curated from a fascinating treasure chest of strange and enchanting collaborative recordings – rich in deconstructed melody and rhythm, pointillist and aleatory composition techniques, primarily employing a wide array of vintage synths and drum machines.  This bounty of private and previously unreleased tracks has been accumulating for some time and we’re excited to present the second of three volumes of this material, rounded up under the project name Off World.
 
Perri will be the first to insist that Off World is not “his” project: tracing its origins as far back as 2008, with Perri and fellow Torontonian Lorenz Peter (Processor, Corpusse) working together on tracks and very occasionally performing live, Off World collaborators include producers Drew Brown (Lower Dens, Blonde Redhead, Beck) and Susumu Mukai (Zongamin), and instrumentalists Craig Dunsmuir (Glissandro 70, Kanada 70) and Eric Chenaux, among others.
 
Off World is alien electronics played humanly, resulting in genuinely exploratory and peculiarly sui generis electronic music that sounds like it could have issued from any time in the past 40-50 years. Off World resists easy categorization: not ambient, not strictly “improvised”, nor “retro” – just eccentrically absorbing, impishly stimulating and gently uneasy listening in an awkward, nerdy, precocious class of its own.

JESSICA MOSS ADDS MORE EUROPE & UK TOUR DATES IN SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER

JMoss_JosephYarmush2_web595x400

Photo: Joseph Yarmush


Jessica Moss just announced additional dates to her European tour in September. Beyond the existing dates in Germany, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Belgium and France, Jessica will be headlining three Italian concerts.
 
Having wrapped up that jaunt, Jessica will then be returning to Europe and the UK in October for a run of headlining and support dates for B I G | B R A V E, on whose albums she is featured and with whom she has performed numerous times over the past few years.
 
She’ll be performing works from both her Constellation album, Pools Of Light, as well as tracks from her self-released EP Plastic Island. Get Pools Of Light physically or digitally here. Both titles are also available on Jessica’s Bandcamp page.
 
Click here to read a feature interview with Jessica on Noisey and see the full list of autumn dates below.
 
"I had become obsessed with the idea of the sky being a place that we in privileged areas of the world can just think of as a peaceful place—a place to sort of gaze into and lose yourself and have your thoughts," Moss reflects over the phone from her home in Montreal. "I just started thinking so much about what it would be like to live in a place where the skies were not safe—where you couldn't count on anything safe being up there and at any moment violence could come from the sky, and I found my way into making this solo music by expressing my thoughts in that way."

NEW RELEASE: Godspeed You! Black Emperor – "Luciferian Towers"

 

The seventh record by Godspeed You! Black Emperor will be released by Constellation on 22 September 2017.

GODSPEED YOU! BLACK EMPEROR
 
"Luciferian Towers"


CST126
180gLP • CD • DL
Out 22 September 2017
 


PREORDER

"Luciferian Towers" was recorded during the winter of 2016/2017 at Montreal's Hotel2Tango, with Greg Norman once again engineering and co-producing (as he did on the band's previous album 'Asunder, Sweet And Other Distress').
 
The music on "Luciferian Towers" took shape over the past two years, amidst GYBE's collaborative performances with the Holy Body Tattoo dance company's monumental, and spurred by the commissioning of new compositions memorializing the 100th anniversary of the WWI Battle of Messines, which premiered at a live concert event on the site of the massacre at Heuvelland, Belgium this past June.
 
"Luciferian Towers" is Godspeed's third album since the group's reunion in 2011 and their second consecutive single LP-length record (following three double-album releases in 2000, 2002 and 2012).
 
The band provides this statement and track description for the new album:
 

this, this long-playing record, a thing we made in the midst of communal mess, raising dogs and children. eyes up and filled with dreadful joy – we aimed for wrong notes that explode, a quiet muttering amplified heavenward. we recorded it all in a burning motorboat.
 
(context as follows:)
 
1. UNDOING A LUCIFERIAN TOWERS – look at that fucking skyline! big lazy money writ in dull marble obelisks! imagine all those buildings much later on, hollowed out and stripped bare of wires and glass, listen- the wind is whistling through all 3,000 of its burning window-holes!
 
2. BOSSES HANG – labor, alienated from the wealth it creates, so that holy cow, most of us live precariously! kicking at it, but barely hanging on! also – the proud illuminations of our shortened lives! also – more of us than them! also – what we need now is shovels, wells, and barricades!
 
3. FAM / FAMINE – how they kill us = absentee landlord, burning high-rise. the loud panics of child-policemen and their exploding trigger-hands. with the dull edge of an arbitrary meritocracy. neglect, cancer maps, drone strike, famine. the forest is burning and soon they’ll hunt us like wolves.
 
4. ANTHEM FOR NO STATE – kanada, emptied of its minerals and dirty oil. emptied of its trees and water. a crippled thing, drowning in a puddle, covered in ants. the ocean doesn’t give a shit because it knows it’s dying too.
 
 
finally and in conclusion;
the “luciferian towers” L.P. was informed by the following grand demands:
+ an end to foreign invasions
+ an end to borders
+ the total dismantling of the prison-industrial complex
+ healthcare, housing, food and water acknowledged as an inalienable human right
+ the expert fuckers who broke this world never get to speak again
 
 
much love to all the other lost and wondering ones,
xoxoxox god's pee / montréal / 4 juillet, 2017
