Good morning!
This week Upset The Rhythm announced our forthcoming album by Apostille.
Alongside running his own DIY record label, Glasgow native, Michael
Kasparis has spent the last few years making forays into the realm of
hardcore punk with his groups Anxiety and The Lowest Form. Throughout
all this, his solo electronic venture, Apostille has continued to evolve
with each twist and turn of the world. His audacious 2015 debut album
‘Powerless’ self-released through Night School set the template by
hooking up his honest delivery to some manic expositions in electronic
pop.

Now, Apostille’s intrepid new album Choose Life
updates the mission statement with its courageous intent to connect,
becoming a triumph of substance. ‘Choose Life’ will be released on LP,
CD and digitally through Upset The Rhythm on June 8th, plus our webshop
has just opened it’s pre-order
for a special limited transparent red vinyl version of the record too.
Here’s the first track to greet the ear from the album, ‘Feel Bad’.

Upset The Rhythm presents…
CHRIS CORSANO & BILL ORCUTT DUO RATTLE Saturday 17 March The Lexington, 96-98 Pentonville Rd, Angel, N1 9JB 7.30pm | £12 | TICKETS CHRIS CORSANO and BILL ORCUTT have spent the last five years flaying eardrums and blowing minds worldwide with a wildly polyrhythmic, high-register wail that splits the difference between rock, noise and jazz. As a co-founder of free-punk demolition crew Harry Pussy, Orcutt inspired entire genres of noise rock, and a decade after Harry Pussy's demise, re-emerged as a solo performer, creating a singular guitar lexicon suited for both discursive improvisation and cracked reinvention of the American songbook. Chris Corsano is the rim-batterer of choice for some of the heaviest contemporary purveyors of both jazz (Evan Parker, Paul Flaherty, Joe McPhee) and rock (Bjork, Sir Richard Bishop, Jim O'Rourke), and is a formidable solo performer in his own right. When playing as a duo their avant drum-and-guitar improvisations provide the illusion of chaos. The longer you listen however to the onslaught of drum rolls and pock-marked notes, the more the communication (and, what's more, control) become abundantly clear. Their explosive mayhem has been documented on Orcutt's Palilalia label over the course of several live releases, most recently on the double LP "Live at Various/Various Live". Their first ever studio recording is scheduled for release later this year.

RATTLE are a Nottingham based duo, Rattle focus almost exclusively on drums and more drums, beneath a delicate overlay of vocal harmonies and percussive effects. Formed by Katharine Eira Brown (also of Kogumaza) and Theresa Wrigley (also of Fists), Rattle began as an experiment in crafting rich songs and melody using drums and voice alone. Their music weaves and intertwines post-punk, minimalism and experimental rock, through off-kilter rhythms, patterns and counter melodies. Often starting by picking out the ghost notes from the drums to develop a melody, the song then reveals itself in rounds and harmonies with layer upon layer of rhythm and vocal, lending a choral feel to some of the tracks. Rattle effortlessly blend the avant-garde with irresistible melodies and hypnotic drum beats, using rhythm and harmony to create a refreshing sound that is utterly new - a pretty rare feat these days when we're saturated with so much music. Rattle's debut self-titled album will be released on Upset The Rhythm and I Own You, look out this Summer for it's follow up.

BILL ORCUTT (SOLO)
CHRIS CORSANO (SOLO) Sunday 18 March The Islington, 1 Tolpuddle St, Angel, London, N1 0XT 7.30pm | £12 | TICKETS BILL ORCUTT has been developing an open source computer music program called "I Dropped My Phone the Screen Cracked" since 2014 and has employed it to record two recent LPs, 2016's "Cracked Music" and 2017's "An Account of the Crimes of Peter Thiel and His Subsequent Arrest, Trial and Execution" which Wire magazine described as "maddening", "hypnotic" and "oddly pleasant." For this solo performance, Orcutt will present the UK premiere of a new algorithmic piece for Cracked entitled 'Neu Bros/OK Phone/Rural Beatles'. http://palilalia.com/ CHRIS CORSANO is arguably the most riotously energetic and creative drummer in contemporary free jazz, for this rare solo set he strips things back to just the bare minimum. His amplified hi-hat set-up first debuted at the No Fun Fest in 2009 and has resurfaced only rarely since. Tiny Mix Tapes described the performance as "nothing short of hi-hat surgery. The hats stood alone, contact-mic'd, amped, and ravaged with distortion; Corsano tore in with sticks, mallets, and metal rods, prying tones from the bowels no one knew existed". His work with Mick Flower, Paul Flaherty, and others is well known; alone, though, Corsano answers to no one, and his clinic realigned every facile give-the-drummer-some heuristic underwriting our approach to percussive or non-tonal technique. http://cor-sano.com/ |
