▼▼JACKIE-O MOTHERFUCKER ▼▼(deep in the game)
"Jackie- O Motherfucker have been operating since 1994, based around the core saxophonist Nester Bucket and guitarist manipulator Tom Greenwood releasing records for Road Cone and Ecstatic Peace. After cranking out five full-length LPs (two of them double sets), one split 12" and two CDs, the group has grown to encompass as many as twenty rotating members in three US cities – Portland, New York and Baltimore.
Inspiration is drawn from an impossibly diverse array of sound and vision: free jazz, noise rock, graffiti, space rock, folk music, Xeroxed art, the list goes on. It's safe to say, however, that the underground experiments of the 60s are a key touchstone — musically, especially the NY loft avant-garde; visually, including Harry Smith's film loops; socially, in their grubby, seat-of-the-pants approach to life and personal politics
The amazing quality of Jackie-O Motherfucker is their ability to color experimental music and noise with more candor and emotional sophistication than most turtlenecked troubadours. The fresh creative input and enthusiasm for experimentation and sound exploration combined with strong roots in Americana has created vital records." - Textile

▼▼DATE PALMS▼▼
(Record Release Show for "The Dusted Sessions" on Thrill Jockey)
"Date Palms revolves around the core duo of Gregg Kowalsky (keyboards, electronics) and Marielle Jakobsons (violin, flute, electronics). They employ traditional rock instrumentation to create music informed by Indian classical music, country, minimalism, and spiritual jazz, arriving at a style that is wholly their own. On their third album, The Dusted Sessions, the duo expanded the line-up to include Ben Bracken on electric bass, Michael Elrod on tanpura, and Noah Philips on electric guitar (a first for the band). Kowalsky and Jakobsons are both accomplished solo musicians in their own right: Kowalsky has released ambient albums on Kranky as well as a collaborative release with Josef Van Wissem on Amish, and Jakobsons has released music on the Digitalis and Students of Decay labels. Date Palms uses the sound an imagery of the dustbowl and the American West to express something truly cosmic and unique within the already highly individualistic Bay Area underground." - Thrill Jockey
"As tempting as a mirage of a fresh rock pool." - Pitchfork
