I mean... you hinted it wasn't any more aesthetically exciting than the Salmon Run design but... um... Seriously?
That's quite a cover.

A technical manual from the 70s, or an anthropology paper?jon abbey wrote:it is meant to look like something else, and I'm not being coy when I say I don't know what that is specifically, as I have not been informed of that.
Jon can you tell me if the use of music concrete elements remains prevalent in this recording? (that is to say, does it sound anything liek Salmon Run?)
Can you give us a teaser description, or is that not allowed?
Well, I will definitely get it then.
I have listened to Salmon Run quite a bit over the last week. I makes a nice recording to accompany a walk around the tree farm.
A long while back I mentioned one of the things I like best about eai (not that I would categorize SR as eai, anyway . . ) is the way in which the genre's use of industrial sounds (fans, buzzes, hums, sines, static, etc) seemlessly invades and interacts with my modern sonic environment, whether I'm out in the community, or at home. At times, my perception and thus my imagination is so intensely piqued (the recording and reality become intermeshed) that it can effect my other senses as well.
Back to SR, as I was walking around the farm listening to it with earbuds (which allow some bleeding of outside sounds), the gurgling of water (from track 4 or 5 iirc) made me stop in my tracks. I was in a spot that I didnt visit very often, and when I looked down, the ground was very wet, swampy even. Was teh sound of the water completely from the recording? When I looked around some more, I realized that this was a nautral, but inconspicuous drainage point for the mountain. The water was still gurgling in my ears, but was there more water nearby? Sure enough, I looked among some bushes and there was a drainage pipe that emptied into a culvert that went under the road. I had never seen it before! I took out my ear buds and I could hear the gurgling of the water going into the culvert. It was a great sonic coincidence, almost like the recording drew me there.
I live for these moments where the fiction of a musical artwork and the reality of my sonic surroundings collide.

oh man.. it's been awhile since I checked in on the board and.. I'm really glad you guys are talking about this record.. Salmon Run was easily one of my favorite records of 2007.. mainly for reasons already discussed, so I'll spare you on that end....
I'm very excited for The Breadwinner... can't wait really.. excited that you're releasing it Jon...
as for Graham's other work.. I've got almost everything he's played on.. I'm missing a few things, but I've been a HUGE Shadow Ring fan for ages and I've made a point of owning anything he's on...
My personal favorite Shadow Ring records are Lindus and I'm Some Songs, which are the last two albums released..
Lindus is the pinnacle of their more "Rock" oriented material.... and while, I find City Lights an appealing record, Lindus is far more solid, complex and listenable.. The instrumentation is varied.. lots of synths, guitars, percussion... RULES..
I'm Some Songs is much closer to L's GA by Salvatore Martirano than any sort of rock tradition.. it's a mass of mainipulated voices, synths and uncomfortable atmosphere.. it's totally claustrophobic and oppressive... I remember playing it back to back with Scott Walker's "the drift" and my girlfriend saying that she couldn't listen to music anymore.....
as for TART.. It is more along the lines of Fousts' work, but it does feature Graham's tape work.. Bring in the Admiral is far superior to Radio Orange..
Transmission... is more of a hoyos project and not particularly appealing to the lambkin part of the brain.. still.. it's interesting..

I think it looks very interesting. I'm really looking forward to this release. Check out the bleak cover on "I'm Some Songs". This cover is comparatively intriguing. I like the colors, I love the subtitle. I wonder why their names are slashed.RFKorp wrote:Because it makes us ask questions?Richard Pinnell wrote:I actually think its quite aesthetically exciting.....RFKorp wrote:I mean... you hinted it wasn't any more aesthetically exciting than the Salmon Run design but... um...

Jon says the cover is based on something. I've googled The Breadwinner and found no clues. Maybe the music will reveal some insight?

Hello all --
I'm new at this forum thing, so bear with me if I do anything stupid.
A few words on the Lambkin-thread:
1)I find it funny that, although Ashley has been mentioned, no one has thought that The Breadwinner cover looks like Private Parts.
2)About the comment that Salmon Run sounding like a box of tapes found in a new apartment: Graham told me years ago when Lindus came out that his goal was to make something that sounded like a tape you'd find abandoned in a gutter somewhere. I think the "strange window into someone else's private life" is a big part of Lambkin's aesthetic. When we've recorded together it has mostly consisted of us just bumbling around the house, creaking boards, running water, etc. Some of that stuff actually made it on to Salmon Run. I remember the first time I heard it thinking "Oh my god! That' the squeak of my suitcase handle!" A strange moment to say the least.
3)The Motion Painting DVD is remarkable and should be snapped up by anyone even mildly interested. It's by turns beautiful, strangely erotic, and disgusting.
OK, glad to be aboard here!

welcome, matt.
I know this record is a big fave of graham's (he told me he's played it "hundreds of times"), but are there multiple covers? the CD I have looks like this:kreftingmoondawn wrote:1)I find it funny that, although Ashley has been mentioned, no one has thought that The Breadwinner cover looks like Private Parts.
