Very excited to be able to present the vinyl issue of HNY's "Here You Can Touch The Sky". Over the past few years, HNY has released some stellar cassettes through Ranky Tanky, Not Not Fun, and Goaty Tapes when finding some free time from shredding with Social Junk. Here You Can Touch The Sky is a half hour full of haunting guitar + vocal work that was released in 2008 through Ranky Tanky and is now ready to shine on vinyl. This record collects all the songs from the original cassette release and includes one previously released instrumental.

providien is mark van fleet (sword heaven) and nathan reynolds (american jobs) and this is the debut vinyl release for amethyst sunset. a half hour of noisy end of the world transmissions. "disembodied horror atmospherics to no-fi sludge death marches to pure weirdo home-taper acoustic guitar meltdowns, each new zone more unsettling and brainwashed than the last."

Listening to new work from Sean McCann is always an exciting prospect. Go far back into this young pioneer's catalog and you'll without a doubt uncover a collection of music as diverse as it is long. What you may also notice is the consistency with which Sean portrays himself.

His music is always fearless, frank and personal. Sincere World is another turn toward Sean's signature earnestness. Open Resolve and The Capital, both cleverly laced with swirling filter manipulation and confounding superimposition of manic and sloth-like compositions, exposed us to a more playful side of McCann's persona. These works are on the surface a bit zany, but deeper down they still maintain a charming character—something that draws the listener in magically. Sincere World is the somber younger brother to these two. Sincere World is adrift on Badalamenti-like lethargy, skeptical of the world around and unsure of what to do about it. But despite his bashfulness, he is every bit as charming and perhaps even more so, for there are no rough edges on him. In six movements, Sean takes us from under the bed to behind the bleachers and finally, to the bottom of the sea. Recorded mostly in 2009,

Sincere World has after two years in hiding, finally mustered the audacity to come out into the open. This is the world Sean McCann lives in, and I want to do everything I can to live there too.
