REL 021LP
|
"The second full length release by the duo of Ashley Paul and Eli Keszler. A longstanding collaboration, this record encapsulates a merging of the off kilter, quiet, and fragile song based work of Ashley with the decisive and material based sound which can be seen in the duos live performances. The album begins with and is framed by a multi-part suite of pieces based around bowed crotales and saxophone. Simple in materials, with no electronic processing, the overtone and harmonics produced by the duo is isolating, rich, alien and challenging. Meanwhile, songs creep in throughout the record, featuring Ashley and Eli's guitar duos and responsive and dynamic saxophone and drum set accompanying Ashley's singing. Things That Just Happen is a powerful take on the unusual complex of song based melody, and psycho acoustic experimentation. Released in a limited pressing on heavy 200 gram vinyl with insert and printed drawings."

REL 016LP
|
"Aster rel016 is the first release in the rel live series, which documents a show in Boston from 2009. Aster takes a different form in this set moving away from its distinct style of high pitch sustained overtone bends and song structure, pushing more towards a guttural blend of string scrapes and sustained tones in combination with an aggressive form of saxophone and drum textures. Blending guitars, drums and horn with Paul's unique green box set up. The music moves slowly and steadily through different areas ending, with a sustained drum, string and saxophone section featuring an aggressive but oddly mellow texture and energy. rel016 is a one sided LP housed in a silk screened black cover with a metallic fold over paper with a unique laser die cut design. The inside has printed notes with the instrument details and information. The record is a one-time limited pressing of 135 copies."
