hello,
hope you're ok. at last we bring news of new releases, the first of
which, awkward 08, is out now. here's the full info:
awkward 08
accelera deck: interlunaire ep - 'always lit', 'bright', 'firmament',
'crest' /
sybarite: 'lapsong'
split 7"
500 copies
accelera deck's 'interlunaire', a collection of four exclusive
tracks, shows a radical change in direction from the most recent
accelera releases, as here chris jeely demonstrates his guitar and
vocal skills with some excellent acoustic singer/songwriter material,
with help from collaborator seana mcgaha.
on the flipside, sybarite offers up an interesting mix of electronics
in the guise of 'lapsong', which gives another insight into the work
of this constantly evolving modern artist. on this single sybarite
(aka xian hawkins) uses different textures and sounds to create an
emotive and highly original piece of work.
accelera deck's appearance on this release continues his interest in
working with numerous instruments in different musical styles but
under the same recording name. always innovative with every release,
this follows on from many other discs - both singles and albums - for
a variety of labels including endorphin, pitchcadet, morr music, 555,
fwd:, english muffin, rocket racer and most recently, neo ouija,
amongst others.
new york's sybarite continues his musical journey, which so far has
included a handful of limited vinyl-only 7"s for the likes of
emanate, static caravan and zeal as well as the album 'musicforafilm'
on the temporary residence limited, which was the excellent
soundtrack to the film 'kill me tomorrow'.
accelera deck's further explorations into the stripped-down guitar
and vocals territory with this ep brings almost to a close his use of
the accelera deck name. one or two retrospective releases are planned
for the future but chris now intends to work under the name 'after
the flood'.
xian, a former member of the now legendary experimental outfit the
silver apples, has an eagerly anticipated sybarite lp due on the 4ad
label in the coming months, as well as an album of his previous
limited releases, remixes and exclusive tracks entitled 'placement
issues' scheduled with static caravan / temporary residence,
available now.

future live events...
it's looking as if there will be another awkward silence related live
event before the end of 2001 - sometime over the last weekend in
december to be precise. this time it's going to be a joint event
with unlabel records, which we're very pleased to be involved with.
the bad news for most of you is that it's going to be at the forum in
tunbridge wells, kent!
as soon as the line-up is confirmed we will let you know further details...
also, further live events are being planned for 2002 with input from
awkward silence...
