Kelley Stoltz - TMR 219

[flattop2001]

Can you give the scoop on TWS record on Cass?

I think Ben might be referring to the super-ultra-limited special pressing of the first WS show, pressed for Jack and Meg . . . pretty sure that might have been a Cass . . . ?

I know but I want to hear it from the man himself, hopefully with some info on how us mere mortals can ever hope to at least hold one of these never mind own one. Besides I said original music so this would not strictly count either. Hell TWS haven't released ANY original music on Sub Pop Cass or TMR by my standards (New songs written and performed specifically for the resulting release) although Sub Pop comes closest surprisingly.

TWS was a cover version release on Sub Pop so not what I would strictly call original but I would be splitting hairs. Can you give the scoop on TWS record on Cass?

i think all that needs to be known about the stripes record on Cass is presented in "Under Great White Northern Lights"

also, based on your ever-elusive description of what "original" means, the stoltz single on Cass would not qualify. both those songs were from a pile of left-overs he didn't include on "Antique Glow"

Im gonnahave to go with ben on this. No research or anything. Notto say he cant be erong but I would guess he may know more than what can be googled. Thanks for popping in mr. Wizard, or whatever your card saysthese days.

Thought my description of original was pretty clear, so nobody has recorded specifically for all three labels.

While many rocking bands in San Francisco and beyond claim to be 'garage' bands' - Kelley Stoltz has actually recorded his new LP "Double Exposure" in the garage behind his house. And while the car oil stained floors are covered by oriental rugs and there are no snow shovels laying around - there is a collection of vintage synths, 17 guitars, tape echos, mellotrons, a 50's jukebox, a Teardrop Explodes poster, a tape machine used by The Residents, an amp used by Stooge James Williamson, and a myriad other noise making devices which rear their heads on his new record. All told the place is called Electric Duck Studio and it's become a muse capturing zone for Stoltz, as well as Sonny & the Sunsets, The Mantles, Tim Cohen, Life Stinks, The Sandwitches and many other tuneweavers big and small.

"Double Exposure" is Kelley's first album in a while - near on 3 years since his last one, "To Dreamers" came out on Sub Pop. What the heck has he been doing since, you ask? Well renovating the garage for one, and using said garage studio to engineer, produce or encourage the above named bands... You see time flies when you're having fun. Add in some love, a little heartbreak, turning 40, deciding to jog everyday, staring at the wall, singing hundreds of songs into the phone, sleeping, recording an album of cover songs with his family, making a couple 45 singles, catching white wine buzzes, getting dropped by Sub Pop, playing keyboards on tour with Rodriguez, and signing on with old supporters at Third Man Records... really it's as good old Sandy Denny sang, who knows where the time goes.

Anyway, if you stir up all that stuff and a few other things we won't mention here, you have the makings of a fantastic and heartfelt record, "Double Exposure" has 10 new jams that Thee Oh Sees main man, John Dwyer, describes thusly, "A piece of gold in your ear, A lovely thought in your mind, A breeze in the sun, This record is perfect..."

Nicely put there Johnny! And you too will thrill to the sound of delay pedals twisting the keys on "Inside My Head", crane your neck to the backwards guitars of "Are You My Love", ramble and gamble to the clanging cymbals on the title track, question the sanity of a song called "Kim Chee Taco Man", and finally, fall down and weep at the sweet fluted sentiments of "It's Summertime Again".

For all of you Aussie rules fans, the album was mixed and mastered by Mikey Young of Eddy Current Suppression Ring/Total Control and features Stoltz playing most of the instruments himself and overdubbing parts through his trusty 8 track tape machine.

By way of introduction to the this fantastic album, we're happy to present a psychedelic taste explosion... Kelley's video for Kim Chee Taco Man in which a young spiritually bereft couple find nirvana-like enlightenment via the perfect food.

"Double Exposure" will be released on LP/Download by Third Man Records on 9/24/13 in the US and 10/7/13 in UK / Europe.

Couldn't stand much of the "Kim Chee" song, but the title track is pretty damn excellent.

Add me to the list. Seems a bit B52's novelty-esque, to me. I like my art rock too, but this just didn't grab me.
