RECENT PRESS FOR LATE APRIL

We've seen some press recently regarding some of the various upcoming records on Volar, and we thought we'd collect 'em all here for ya.

For one, if you haven't seen it yet, Soft Riot debuted their video for "Cinema Eyes", from their upcoming Fiction Prediction LP on Volar/Other Voices, last week.  Thanks to Burning Flame and Impose (read below) for posting it, and read more about the LP here.



Via Impose:

Draw the red velvet curtains for your own personal screening of Soft Riot's "Cinema Eyes". The strobing vintage goth video for "Eyes" is captured by MM Lyle, that fades into scenes to carry you away into the dystopian worlds of technocratic realities. If the seizures don't take you first, the flashes will have you pondering Jack Duckworth's night time cinema brooding of, "those scenes you see are cut to carry you away, those scenes you see have cracks that stop you, pause and wonder about them, what's behind that mirror?" This is the Philip K. Dick school of future pop reflections on film perspectives. Soft Riot's album Fiction Prediction comes out June 2013 on Other Voices Records in Europe and Volar Records in the States.


The Bay Bridged premiered the last order of business for the great Window Twins LP (read more about that here), Uptown Sinclair's remix of "Others".   Listen and read below.
Premiere: Window Twins – “Others (Uptown Sinclair Remix)” 


April 26, 2013

Written by Nicole L. Browner

Exray’s Jon Bernson and The Fresh & Only’s Tim Cohen “got the band back together” last year to release Window Twins‘ second LP, Wish. The album was first made available by the cassette label Crash Symbols, which has since sold out. Southern California’s Volar Records released a limited run of colored vinyl this month, for sale in their online store.

In celebration of the vinyl production, we have a Window Twins remix to premiere! The Wish track “Others” received an industrial uplift by Uptown Sinclair — aka Isaac Edwards of Odawas.
Wish continues down the dark, echo-y chambers of experimental, lo-fi folk Bernson and Cohen together explore in their collaboration. Having moments of pure deconstruction, reverby tangents, and even breaking out into somewhat jazzy percussion, the album is a trip, for sure. It is the follow-up to Window Twins’ debut LP I’m This Tall City, which was released in 2009 on Howells Transmitter.




Also, friend of the label Julian Elorduy of Fine Steps (look for their 7" on Volar in the coming months) interviewed Tim Hines of Tropical Popsicle for Lo-Pie regarding the upcoming Dawn of Delight LP on Volar, which can find in full here.

Interview: Tropical Popsicle

by Julian Lord on Apr 25, 2013


Tropical Popsicle’s Dawn of Delight is one of my favorite records of the year so far. I’d like to think of all superior works of art as a pre-conceived effort, however, that was not case with Dawn of Delight as Timothy Hines, the main creative juice behind the band, reveals in his responses below.
It seem like Hines’ process is about using whatever tools are immediately available to him, whether it be dictaphones, iPhones, an 8 track cassette recorder or a 16 track studio with 2” tape. It was more happenstance than forethought that brought us Dawn of Delight. Below, Hines talks about the variety of records he listened to during the 1 and 1/2 years it took to create the album, and how Tropical Popsicle became a band thanks to a Thanksgiving Day party and a show and tell meeting with Volar Records’ Craig Oliver. As Hines mentions, there is already a new album in the works. I look forward to hearing more about it and seeing where things go from here.  (cont.......)


Speaking of Julian, the nice folks at Impose Magazine premiered his video for "All Day Long" from that upcoming 7" over here.



"When we were little kids—so long ago—we'd wonder what our friends with no siblings were up to when we were delighted by companion-full endless entertainment. They didn't have an other half to play with, share with, steal from, or want to strangle, so what could these only children be doing in their down time? With the new video from Julian Elorduy's Fine Steps, we've finally figured out what those lonely children were doing—tumbling in their back yards and filming it. The playful video from the Oakland performer is such a happy matchup with the sundrenched song that it feels like a rare instance of visual matching audio. It's organic.
 
The great part about the Fine Steps video is the accompanying 7" box set that it will surely inspire you to order from Volar Records. Strange Mutations Vol. 2 is a four-artist set of 7-inches that includes two songs each from Fine Steps, Cosmonauts, Teenage Burritos, and Lenz. You can get the scoop and the download on those here. Pick up the set and then roll around in the grass while listening. It's a reversion to childhood."

Strange Mutations Vol. 2 7" box set ft. Cosmonauts, Teenage Burritos, Fine Steps, and Lenz

Just as we've finished shipping the Strange Mutations Vol. 1 7" box set ft. Eat Skull, Beaters, Audacity/Big Eyes, Stalins of Sound, and Far Corners (limited copies still available here), we're happy to announce Vol. 2, ft. new 7"s by Cosmonauts, Fine Steps, Teenage Burritos and Lenz.  Order the limited copies at our online store or at Bandcamp, where you can also just order a direct download.  Have a listen to some tracks, a look at the new video for "All Day Long" by Fine Steps, and read all the info we've gotten together regarding why I decided to try this shit out.

After many years of playing music, booking shows, and running Volar Records, I’ve had the great fortune to meet plenty of great bands. Over those years, I’ve tried to figure out what most ties together the bands on the label... Volar has released a slew of 7"s and LPs, debuts and otherwise, including plenty of international records: synth, punk, lo-fi, psych, and everything in-between. Though many of the bands have joined me in my own warped vision, they all share in them an authenticity that can sometimes be hard to find in everyday life. There’s a community experience they all share, and to more broadly expore that particular vision is the purpose of Strange Mutations, a 7” series that brings our friends together in unique combinations. Given the origins of our collective mutations and the diversity of bands, ultimately the purpose of the series is to help new bands and stalwarts move forward on a basis of like-minded community.

VOLAR33 - Cosmonauts - "Wear Your Hair Like a Weapon" b/w "Sweet Talk" 7"

Limited color copies available via mailorder only here or as part of the SM2 set here.

 

I’ve known the Cosmonauts dudes for a few years now.  I didn’t make it out to SXSW this year, but in the two years previous, I hosted Volar showcase alongside Burger Records and some other folks.  Two years ago, between the Volar shows and Burger’s other shows, I ended up seeing Cosmonauts seven times in five days, and I realized by the end that I never got sick of them and actually looked forward to seeing them again.  We talked then about working together at some point, but the next year for Volar was incredibly busy as it was.  Cut to a year later, 2012, and yet again, I saw the band play another seven times in five days, and realized that they’d only gotten better since the year before.  We talked again about working together, and it took a while to come together, but here we are with the “Wear Your Hair Like a Weapon”/”Sweet Talk” double A-side, and I couldn’t be happier.

VOLAR34 - Teenage Burritos - "Danya" b/w "Kamikaze" debut 7".  Artwork by Dusty Dirtweed.
Limited color vinyl available via mailorder here, and as part of the SM2 set here.

I spent the better part of four years or so playing with my best friends in their band Christmas Island, and it was through those shows and tours that I met a lot of the folks that I would eventually work with via Volar.  The band has been inactive for over a year, but in that time, CI’s drummer Lucy Wehrly started this new band, Teenage Burritos, with her friend Kirsten Gundel playing bass and singing, and some rotating members, before sticking with Brian from CI and guitar and Kevin Gist from Plateaus, also on guitar.   They released a great s/t cassette on Burger last year, and the “Danya”/”Kamikaze” 7” marks their vinyl debut, with our friend Andreas Lagerstrom of the great Captured Tracks act Holograms out of Sweden contributing backing vox and synth to the b-side.

VOLAR35 - Lenz - "Frozen Touch" b/w "Airplane Firetruck" 7"

Limited color vinyl available via mailorder only here, or as part of the SM2 set here.

 

Late last year, Andy Human of Lenz, who produced Uzi Rash’s I Was 30 in 2012 LP for Volar, hit me up about booking Lenz a show here in town.  I was happy to do so, and was immediately sold on the band.  We talked about working together, and after releases on Burger Records, 1-2-3-4 Go! and Tic Tac Totally, we’re proud to present to you the “Frozen Touch”/”Airplane Firetruck” 7”.

VOLAR36 - Fine Steps - "All Day Long"/"Cold Hand" b/w "Stereo 7"

 Limited color copies available via mailorder only here, or as part of the SM2 set here. 

 

Another guy I’ve known for a while, Fine Steps main songwriter Julian Elorduy has put his time in with great bands as a drummer since he was in high school, namely the amazing Mayyors, who I was fortunate to play some shows with while they were around.  Eventually he picked up the guitar and began writing songs, with his friends from the great Ganglians joining in to fill out the live version of the band while they were all living in Sacramento.  Now that he’s packed his bags and moved to San Francisco, he’s been joined by our good buddy Matt Roberts of the Mantles, and after talking for a while about working together, he sent the three great tracks that make up this “All Day Long” 7” EP.

 

 

 

 

Soft Riot - Fiction Prediction LP and preorder available

After being turned on to Soft Riot's No Longer Stranger digital EP and subsequently recently releasing it in its expanded LP form (buy it here), we're happy to announce his second LP, Fiction Prediction, (PREORDER limited color copies here) as well as present to you the video for "Cinema Eyes", constructed by Soft Riot main man Jack Duckworth along with his cohort MM Lyle.  Info below.





We're also happy to announce the digital single of FP track "Your Own Private Underworld" coupled with the digital-only track "You've Been a Seeker For Long Enough", available via Bandcamp below.

Soft Riot is Jack Duckworth, a former Vancouverite now living in London who traces his musical beginnings to the vibrant underground art-punk/hardcore scene emergent across the Canadian and American west coasts in the mid-90s. Duckworth was among the fixtures in that community’s northern outpost before helping to consolidate the early outpourings of a larger pre-“synth/new-wave” revival with his band Radio Berlin alongside others like Black Mountain, Wolf Parade, Frog Eyes, etc, though his output has shifted at least a few degrees from that older sound. His move to London is at the heart of his ongoing personal maintenance; the new atmosphere and cultural dynamic giving fuel to Soft Riot, previously just a concept. 

Fiction Prediction collects Duckworth’s latest material, recorded after the songs that populated his previous album/EP, No Longer Stranger (originally released on Panospria, the EP was expanded and released as an LP by Volar Records). A heavy dose of throbbing arpeggiated synths coupled with Duckworth’s ongoing romp through the annals of sci-fi film history keeps the album well grounded, minimal synths describing the parameters of his psychedelic soundscapes. Coming from a punk rock pedigree Duckworth brings an unusual focus on lyrical content to his music. In evocative detail, Duckworth builds images through song as he explores a range of disparate themes; modern living and overpopulation, technology and enlightenment, state surveillance and prognostication. These influences come less from other artists, and more from written fiction and cinema — a future predicted by fiction! 

“I think we’re going to hear a lot more about Jack Duckworth and Soft Riot in future. I certainly hope so as he’s a real talent deserving to be recognised.” - Friedrichstrasse, May 2012 

Soft Riot en masse, is what it’s refusing to do. Like the tension-soaked soundtrack to a robotic mob, just on the rink of anarchy.” - Mollie Wells, Mishka Blogin NYC

“Three tracks of heavy analog synth vibes. Masterwork synthpop tracks from the UK via Canada.”

Recent Volar Press

So we've had some very kind folks cover some of our recent and upcoming releases in the past weeks, and we thought we'd take the chance to collect those here in one place.

First off, among our slate of upcoming releases, we've got Vol. 2 of the Strange Mutations 7" box set, ft. new records by Lenz, Fine Steps, Cosmonauts, and Teenage Burritos, whose "Danya" 7" you can read about over at Lo-Pie.  Fuzz Drench has a little post about the Cosmonauts 7" here.  More on this set soon enough, we assure you.  (Check out Vol. 1, ft. new 7"s by Eat Skull, Beaters, Audacity/Big Eyes, Stalins of Sound, and Far Corners here)

Lo-Pie's take on "Danya":

by A.A. Yuen on Mar 27, 2013

Teenage Burritos // Danya 7″
Volar Records
3.7/5 Pies
Recommended Track: Danya
Teenage Burritos is a band whose name confuses the hell out of me. Is it referring to teenagers who eat burritos or the types of burritos that teenagers prefer to eat or just really fucking old burritos? I say this because I’m equally confused about the tracks “Danya” and “Kamikaze”, off of the forthcoming 7” “Danya” (Volar Records).
My confusion comes not because of any inaccessibility on their end–it’s pretty straightforward stuff–or whether or not I like it (I really do). I think this single befuddles me because I’m not sure why I like it so much. There’s really nothing new going on here, but it’s absolutely infectious. The hooks are wonderful. It’s got the right amount of energy, well above the vocal and melodic detachment of similar sounds. It’s like they’re doing the same thing that many other bands have, but the particular configuration of these familiar elements adds up to something different. The guitar licks (deedle, deedle) are fun. The songs are about stuff The Okmoniks might have agreed with.
In the end, I need to stop thinking about this and just listen to it over and over and over again. It’s pretty great, logic be damned.




Everybody Taste also covers the original version of the great b-side to the TB 7", "Kamikaze", which you can find on their OOP s/t cassette on Burger Records.  The newly recorded version features additional backing vox and synth by our buddy Andreas of the great Swedish band Holograms.

Via Everybody Taste:
"Fantastically named San Diego band Teenage Burritos—who already have an out-of-print cassette via Burger Records—are set to put out their first 7" on Volar Records featuring A-side "Danya" and my current obsession, "Kamikaze," on the flip side. A frisky guitar line, snappy drumming, and an instantaneously addictive vocal lead dose this charismatic recorded-in-the-garage-fidelity nugget with a classic unglued from time sort of quality that has me hitting play over and over again. Dig into the tune below, and look out for the forthcoming wax from Volar as well as a future full-length due out on Burger/Volar."

The Unexcused also has some nice things to say about "Kamikaze" along with the proper recording of the track.

Via The Unexcused:
"I hereby dub the Teenage Burritos new track “Kamikaze” the official song of Spring 2013. While the Boston weather stubbornly sticks with a motif of Winter I’m looking forward with eyes set on baseball, cheap beer, & backyard cookouts. So by the power now vested in Teenage Burritos and their absolutely stellar new song “Kamikaze” – I politely say piss off Old Man Winter, your time has come.
“Kamikaze” will be available soon via 7″ through one of my favorite labels, Volar Records. Like them on FaceBook for further updates."

Impose Magazine is streaming the Soft Riot - No Longer Stranger LP here.  You can read what they have to say below.  (Soundcloud/Bandcamp/Digital Store)

By Alex Pitta » Getting strange with Soft Riot.

"Soft Riot is an appropriate name for this London based musical act. Deeply ominous and fervently brooding, Soft Riot's new LP No Longer Stranger is an electronic tour de force. Jack Duckworth, former Vancouverite and mastermind behind Soft Riot, is no rookie when it comes to compelling electronic music. No Longer Stranger is being released through San Diego's Volar Records and is available for purchase on the Volar Records site.

No Longer Stranger is a pulsing electronic black hole filled with riveting synths and walloping drums and bass. It could be the soundtrack to a fine mugging in a dimly lit Eastern European brick alley with neon graffiti and rats galore or perhaps, a delicious maggot, worm, and blood feast with Corey Feldman and Jason Patric in a dreary cave surrounded by bleach blonde mullets and feather earrings. No Longer Stranger is a dark musical surge you can't afford to miss.


Our friends at the great 20 Jazz Funk Greats also had some pretty interesting things to say about No Longer Stranger and share the track "A Simulation" (which I'm in the process of planning out a video for):

"In Faith of Our Fathers, Philip K. Dick imagines a conventionally nightmarish post-war Communist global order.  Then he introduces drugs.  Our hero, Chien, being fed anti-hallucinogens by a cabal of dissidents, is able to see God.  Who seems intent of fucking with him.

At the inception of all this, sitting at home, Chien freaks the fuck out watching their Glorious Leader via a form broadcast into his living room.  Suppressing the ambient hallucinogens in the water supply for the first time, the Leader is replaced by a metallic simulation.   All whirring, pointing squawking and generally upsetting the veneer of order in Chien’s proto-dissident life.

Soft Riot‘s attempt at capturing this moment via of the medium of EBM works eerily well.

A grand processional march for our Leader/Simulacrum’s TV show.  Clipped synths tower over some gated drums, though these synths sound slightly unfinished.  Decaying in a way that makes them the disconcerting, aural equivalent of  the Ryugyong Hotel*: looming and out of place.  This slight off-ness extends all the way through to Jack Duckworth’s words, which hang over the silences as well as the skittering drum machine."

Electronic Rumors also has some kind words about the album:

"Recently released, No Longer Stranger is the new record from London based Minimal Synth artist Soft Riot. No Longer Stranger was originally conceived at an EP, but expanded into an eight track mini-album for this release and serves as an interim before Soft Riot's next album proper, Fiction Prediction, due in a couple of months.

No Longer Stranger is a collection of moody, atmospheric tracks, driven by vintage machine beats and warbling arpeggios. Combining late 70s synthesizer cinema music (the kind of stuff in horror and Sci-Fi movies in the years just before the music the SynthWave scene adores kicked off) and the  metronome sparsity of early Cabaret Voltaire, with a little whispered Soft Cell sleaze, Soft Riot deliver something, not to make you move on the dancefloor, but to soundtrack your walk home after the club has shut, through dark city streets. Pulsating analog basses and white noise snares provide the basis for haunting, glowing melodies and Soft Riot’s enigmatic growl, from the Numanoid Your Secret Light Shines At Night to the acid nightmare SynthPop of Your Strange New Career via the dystopian psychedelic of Tragic Magic, No Longer Stranger isn’t always comfortable listening, but ultimately rewarding. Check out A Simulation, the album’s one dance tune, that works a little early Skinny Puppy and a hint of Electro Boogie into the mix."

Also, I Die You Die showed some love for Soft Riot's "Cinema Eyes" off the upcoming Fiction Prediction LP on Volar/Other Voices (more on that soon) as well as the soon-to-be-released London synth comp And You Will Find Them in the Basement on Desire Records."

Via I Die You Die:
Soft Riot, “Cinema Eyes”
"Paris label Desire Records’ And You Will Find Them In The Basement comp features an embarrassment of predominantly London-based synth wave riches: the dearly departed Linea Aspera, the dour duo Lebanon Hanover, and uh, the…darkly dreamy Mild Peril (sue me). Vancouverite transplant Jack Duckworth also makes an appearance via his Soft Riot project, and there’s some Prince and Duran Duran here beneath Duckworth’s on record love for Nitzer sequences."

Friend of the label (and Fine Steps main man) Julian Elorduy gave a glowing review of the Tropical Popsicle - Dawn of Delight LP here. (Soundcloud/Bandcamp/Digital Store)

Julian at Lo-Pie's review of Dawn of Delight:

Tropical Popsicle // Dawn of Delight
Volar Records
3.75/5 Pies
Recommended Track: Tethers
"Tropical Popscicle’s Dawn of Delight is a wonderful record. It has a pop sensibility and covers a wide variety of moods. From the doomy “Universe of God Shadow” to the almost sweet Barrett-esque folk of “The Omni-Present Heart Shield”, there is a multi-directional tinge to the entire record but the band maintains a consistent aesthetic, further developing their sound as a whole."

TransWorld Surf also had some kind things to say:

 

Lastly, Surfing Mag ran a nice little interview and feature with Beaters back in January.  Check it out below.

I was introduced to Audacity  shortly after starting Volar. A group of kids barely out of high school, who had just released an LP on the then-brand new label, Burger Records. My good friend Jon, who was running I Hate Rock n Roll Records at the time, suggested that we partner up to co-release a 7" with our buddy Rob Barbato of Darker My Love (and since then, Cass McCombs and La Sera) producing. That 7” became the Ears and Eyes EP. I've stayed in touch with the band since then, and when they called me last fall to get help booking a national tour with Seattle’s Big Eyes, we spontaneously planned a split 7" for the tour. I rushed out test pressings just in time for that jaunt, and now we’re finally seeing the official release. I couldn’t be happier to be working with them again, particularly as they plan for an LP on Suicide Squeeze.

Stalin's main-man Hadi once played in a trashy punk band by the name of the Dissimilars with an old friend of mine some years ago, and since then, we’d always kept in touch. Eventually Hadi moved in with me, and around this time he started the satirical drum-machine, buzzsaw-punk band Stalins of Sound. Volar released the first 7”, the Bread and Circuses EP, a few years ago, and this 7” marks the band's second vinyl release.

Far Corners comes to Volar via Ryan Rousseau of Destruction Unit (who’s also spent his years in the Reatards, the Wongs, and Earthmen and Strangers, among others), who texted one night while D. Unit and Far Corners were playing a show together to tell me, “you should check this shit out!” I did, I thought it was great, and lo and behold (only a little while later) Volar will release their new EP, Sanity Suck. Justin Hubbard and crew run the Trainyard in Los Cruces, NM, where he lives with his wife and kid, and Far Corners happens to host and perform with virtually every great band to pass through that town.

I’ve known the boys in Portland's scuzzy weirdo-rock band Eat Skull for many years, going back to the handful of times that my old band, Christmas Island, played with them here and there. I told frontman Rob Enbom back then that he had carte blanche for releases on Volar, but the band went offline for a couple of years, except for a handful of small shows. While finally finishing their third LP, III, for Woodsist, Rob dropped me a line asking if I could out a 7" in time for the release. I couldn't be happier to finally have something out with the gang.

The Jester 7” marks the fourth time I’ve worked with San Diego post-punk/synth act Beaters, two of my great friends, main songwriter Jeremy Rojas and drummer Andrew Montoya, who I knew years before the band started in 2009. They were, at the time, playing in an amazing garage/soul/punk act, the Sess. Eventually that band imploded, and I was genuinely saddened, but just as I was starting Volar in early 2009, Jeremy began recording the first Beaters tracks, which became the Fishage 7”, Volar’s first release. At that point, Andrew began recording the first tracks for his project Ale Mania, which became their Lustful Fistful 7”. Since then, Volar has released LPs with both acts, though they've also worked with other great labels like Zoo Music, Sixteen Tambourines, and Suplex Cassettes in France. The Jester 7” marks the next evolution of the band, as Jeremy’s songs have grown to become at once twistier and turnier but also more immediate.
