Catalog no.: IND0000094

Item ID: 358755

Double A sided cassette reissue of a severely limited one-sided LP, and what might be C. Spencer Yeh's most trying, challenging and rewarding foray into a world previously unknown to him, and us : his world of song. Songs 2002 contain what are perhaps subtle homages to early Eno and primo era Bowie vis a vis the studio treatments of the raw sounds with which we're more familiar in his previous work. Yeh's songs work within two generalized veins: a la Eno's early attempts to communicate liquidly within a 'rigid' language and structure as pop / rock, and similar to Keiji Haino's sense of mythos and personal pulse. Recorded over 10 years ago, ultimately, these songs can stand aside the most difficult of outsider aesthetics. There is nothing really new here, aside from what is essentially editing and narration. Might just be me, but I think he's found Love, both in what inspires him, and a new found expression.

Also available: SONGS 2002 (LP).

Jakob Olausson is a farmer in the south of Sweden, from Landskrona, and he works there in the fields of sugar beets. Not to re-hero-ize the life of the prole, but the workday sun has had a clear influence: this is a rec made on a dime, in a dimesized bedroom apartment, and ... read more »
