Brothersister Records 7" Releases
Trust cottage Melbourne label Brothersister Records to solve the 'problem' of pop music's dematerialisation and release format conundrum so neatly and with such understated class. The inventive and enduring collective are launching two new lathe-cut 7-inch releases, bundled with digital mixes and packaged in beautiful, limited edition sleeve art. Cut individually in the 'unorthodox and homegrown medium' of polycarbonate plastic, each record of the fifty a-piece run becomes, in the label's words, 'more of an obscure cultural artifact than a pinnacle of high fidelity', or a 'must-have, 4D fetish object' in ours.The first is a split between Brothersister house band Drama for Yamaha and label founder Sam Szoke-Burke's drums-and-chanting outfit Inquiet.
Drama for Yamaha's side, 'Island Pop' sounds like Tortoise dancing drunk on Pacific kava - precisely shaky and instrumentally complex - while Inquiet's soaring 'Revisiting the Andes' uses cyclical pump organ, harmonica and story telling lyrics to calming effect. Kharkov's release, 'Glitch' b/w 'Space', is more radically minimal, startling, and impossible to place geographically. His two sides of sharp-relief techno are super-controlled, Cologne-styled heavy edits, and brilliant.
