Christmas Decorations - Far Flung Hum


$15.99
 

"Wodger's first release is the third Christmas Decorations LP Far-Flung Hum. We recorded it in the Catskills Mountains in upstate New York in summer 2007. The outdoor sessions on the back porch were particularly fun and memorable. It's the first recording from our expanded quartet lineup, which allowed us to rely more on live performances. The letter-press cover wraps around the record jacket in a unique match-book style."

Christmas Decorations - communal rust


$10.99
 

"Christmas Decorations' second full-length Communal Rust should please fans who have been following the lineage of processed-guitar heroes and anti-heroes (Fennesz, Ambarchi, et al). But where those icons are making forays into drone and noise, Christmas Decorations are taking the other fork in the road, back towards the melancholic, crisp strum of post-punk and indie, and back towards an atomized, crumpled, improvised sound design.
Communal Rust documents essential "anti-guitar guitar music." The songs revolve around a dichotomy between guitar-pedal-and-computer induced fragmentation, on one hand, and the intricate, melodic guitar motifs referenced to classic post-punk and forgotten lo-fi indie music. Pull away the layers of glitches, snippets, trills, and echoes and you might discover a core guitar disposition that recalls the contemplative, steely tone of early Factory, 4AD, or New Zealand music. That's not to say that the duo is boxed in by reference points; moreso, these influences are exerting the most gravitational pull on the band's temptations to commit all-out, fractional sonic disintegration.
This tension between new and old, rough and smooth, or chaos versus control, puts the band squarely in the ComLib sensibility of sublimely balancing problem and accessibility in music. Following on the band's debut release, the criminally underappreciated Model 91 (kranky 2002), Communal Rust marks a key point in the band's development and is a crucial addition to any collection of experimental music."
