We’re proud to present Falling Guitar, Kallie Lampel‘s first release for JASS since 2017’s Lamp Shade. A collection of improvised guitar pieces, Falling Guitar is an exercise in solitude, spaciousness, and spontaneous creation, available today as a pay-what-you-want release via our Bandcamp page. 90% of digital proceeds from Falling Guitar will be donated to Amazon Watch, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization & environmental advocacy group dedicated to protecting the rainforest and advance the rights of indigenous peoples in the Amazon Basin.
Falling Guitar is Kallie Lampel’s first release for JASS since 2017’s Lamp Shade. A collection of seven minimal pieces using a stripped-down setup of guitar, a modest set of effects and a occasionally a handheld tape cassette recorder, the album possesses a simple but luminous brilliance, with a sense of motion suspended in the night sky.
This soft foundation of the spiraling loop & the latitude of volume control elicit the singular & impulsive works of Falling Guitar to present as apparitions patiently making themselves present, just visible enough to etch out their woolly topographic characteristics before fading away into the distance. The brief nature of this collection belies its focus & patience: Falling Guitar is an exercise in solitude, spaciousness, and spontaneous creation.
Phlebotomists is brand-new NYC group fronted by our own Ari Finkel & featuring Kallie Lampel. They have arrived with their self-released debut single My Tarot + Part, 2 wildly elastic & crisp tracks ahead of a forthcoming debut album. Listen & Enjoy!
JASS album Kallie Lampel teams up with Skeleton Zoo (Steve Goodwin) to present the debut album of their electroacoustic project Hilsa. Hilsa is a subtle cinematic narration that floats in and out of focus, see-sawing between hazy harmonies in a perpetual reconstruction of ambient, iridescent forms. Highly recommended – Download/stream & purchase limited cassette via Youngbloods.
Kallie Lampel joins us in-studio for an extended ambient mix. Enjoy!
