New Release: Food Court LP

Excited to announce the release of the first Food Court LP, available from Penultimate Press or direct from Kye. Should be a handful of copies for sale around Melbourne soon.




Kye is proud to present the eponymous debut LP by Australia's Food Court. Centered around the core trio of James Rushford, Joe Talia and Francis Plagne - (alongside contributions from Yuko Kono, Chloë Smith, Alexander Garsden, Nat Grant, Simon Charles and Callum G'Froerer) - Food Court present two live interpretations of Solage's 'fumeux fume par fumme', driving the curious nature of the original composition into radical and extreme new open space. 'Food Court' arrives in a Karla Pringle designed full-color sleeve, with accompanying insert, in an edition of 400 copies.

New Release: Andrew Chalk, 'Painted Screens' cassette

The great French label An'Archives recently released a cassette by Andrew Chalk, 'Painted Screens'. I played on the piece that ended up as the B side when I was in Hull last year.
 
Some copies should be available from the label.

Info from the label:

ANDREW CHALK

PAINTED SCREENS

cassette 

An’archives

cassette ltd to 100

with the participation of Federico Durand, Naoko Suzuki,  Daisuke Suzuki , Francis Plagne & Timo Van Luijk

 Music box, intimate music with a large palette of instruments, voices, sounds, mixed feelings and mysteries

  Side A sounds like a window opened on travelling memories, half awakened thoughts and shared moments.

 Side B has a more dreamy and nocturnal wandering atmosphere, with undulating rays sporadically lighting a subconscious picture.
