marumari and so takahashi releases planned for june 26th
yes we've got the next batch of carpark releases ready for you.
marumari's full length supermogadon (CRPK009 cd/lp) and a slightly
altered repress of the so takahashi 12" (CRPK05.6) will become
available on june 26th. this is marumari's 4th full-length recording
(3rd for carpark) and it's his most beautiful record to date. our
marumari keeps changing his sound in new and exciting ways. we hope
you like it. advance word on the street is that this is also
marumari's most attractive sleeve design. crazy posters were made too
so let us know if you want one.
carpark is also repressing a limited run of 500 so takahashi 12"s. we
are keeping the original sleeve design and locked grooves from
CRPK005 but are placing a new ambient track on the a-side. oh and the
record labels will be a different color. now you can mix the locked
grooves from one 12" to another! hoorah.

carpark news
lots of fun articles mentioning carpark recently. there was a really
great carpark article in issue #48 of xlr8r magazine. thanks again to
all at xlr8r for getting that together. if you'd like to read it
please go to the carpark press page. there is also supposed to be a
picture of me in the upcoming issue of the french magazine purple. i
haven't seen this so have no idea what it looks like. but keep an eye
out for it! there was also a feature on jake mandell in a recent
issue of de-bug in germany. if you'd like to keep up with this sort
of stuff, we try our best to keep all the info on the carpark press
page. there you can find articles and reviews for all carpark
releases.
future releases
in the works for the early fall are releases by miss dinky and takagi
masakatsu. miss dinky's carpark release is going to be quite
different from her releases on traum. i know she's planning a very
special package with a "nature" theme. also coming soon is the first
release from kyoto's takagi masakatsu. primarily a video artist,
takagi dropped a cd off at carpark headquarters over the winter and
we went crazy for it. we plan to include some of his video work on
the cd release, be it a cd or dvd....we are not sure yet. there will
be some exhibits of takagi's video work in tokyo soon so if you are
there check it out!
for those keeping tabs on the highly-anticipated kit clayton/safety
scissors ping pong release, we are pleased to announce that safety
scissors will be returning to san francisco very soon to continue his
ping pong tournament with mr. clayton. hopefully these games will be
what is necessary for the two to complete their project. we will
inform you of the outcome of these matches.
also as of next month all carpark releases will be back in print! we
are in the process of repressing more jake mandell "placekick eps"
and kid606 "soccergirl eps." nice one.
that's it
so yeah...it's been a while since we've written so we had a lot to
say. feel free to email us at carpark@carparkrecords.com with any
carpark questions you might have. hopefully we will be in your town
soon.
have a lovely spring and hope everyone is well.
best,
todd
