Out now on Deconomics

Wunjo, Go slowly all the way (DECON003)

Corn Against Sorcery

Wunjo, Go slowly all the way; six of cups round the outside is the first release from Amsterdam-based recording artist, Corn Against Sorcery, the long a long-lived but underpublished electroacoustic project. The product of two Amsterdam winters, Mike (a.k.a. Vali S. Bowers) suffers up seven songs of pigeons, megalopical blackouts, alien irradiation, and body part theft.

God's Pale Nun (DECON002)

Busy Busy Busy

God's Pale Nun is the sophomore effort from Omaha-based Busy Busy Busy, the eponymous brainchild of time-challenged ringleader Paul.

Continually operating at the fulcrum between lush, almost sappy romanticism and a mode of discourse which might be approximated by "a very peculiar attempt at irony," God's Pale Nun manages to evoke the heroic pop tradition from at least one novelly oblique angle, and possibly up to six.

God's Pale Nun, the consummate extimate garb for a highly intimate sentiment, is yours for the taking.

Good (DECON001)

Good

Deconomics rings in the new label the best way we know how: by offering you the chance to revel in the borderline-schizoid sonic wake as Goodmembers Mike and Paul begin the latest leg of their epic, trans-Atlantic journey through the fractal edges of the polygons constituting the media-corrupted mental geometry of Good, the Good EP.

Transporting the listener (almost moment-to-moment) between dilapidated ruins of glistening, precise guitar skyscrapers that would make Yes blush, periglacial, crackling Nord arpeggios, and viscous, bubbling pop structures in the best, most ambiguous tradition of the word, the Good EP is the noise that our subconscious minds recognize as the shuffling feet of an empty-handed band presiding over the interment of power pop's unoccupied casket.

Coming Soon

Good is dumb (DECON004)

Good

Recorded as a collision of lizard and ape over one and half years of productive exchange between Paul's studio in "Middle America" and Mike's over there somewhere "among the Dutch", and in so doing making mythological narrative out of nothing less than Mario Kart 64, revolution, and restful unrest. The Bowser v. Donkey Kong debate meets indie-fied electroacoustic and folk rock opera?

Good is dumb will be released on Deconomics in August, 2008.
