Hey guys, come to this party; but oh by the way there’s blood in the piñata.
St Vincent paraphrasing John Congleton‘s thoughts on the self titled record (via uptightcitizensbrigade)

Join SonicScoop's Justin Colletti as he sits down with one of his favorite producer/engineers, John Congleton.
These are not songs to shock, but songs to remind us of our fragility, our faults, our instincts and what an extraordinary thing it is to be an ordinary phenomenal nothing.
i love you like a lion loves its kill i will touch you like a doctor - just lay still let the implements molest you in your sleep you belong to me (you’re mine, all mine) we've got you surrounded
and then there’s me - the temporary custodian of these particles

Oh my dear just meet me here When the comet hits our atmosphere Like burning circus tents signal our ascent We visualize what we hope appears Are you with me? Are you with me? Will you follow through?

Stephin Merritt (Magnetic Fields), Kim Gordon, Merrill Garbus (Tune-Yards), Will Sheff (Okkervil River) and more pay tribute to an icon.
“I feel completely silly to be so upset today by the death of someone I never actually met. But I guess the only way I can explain it is, when someone asked me this morning, “Since David Bowie was such an influence on you, where do you think you would be without him?” the answer was clearly obvious: “Absolutely nowhere.” - John Congleton
Until the Horror Goes is now available for pre-order!
to me the human condition (the water in which my music tends to swim) is in some ways the slow realization magic does not exist. the idealizations one has as a child are chipped away by the lubrication of life; we slowly discover there is no santa claus, no salvation as we were promised. until the horror goes is in some ways the musical manifestation of that screaming child rejecting the intimacy and connection for which it cries; the endless quest for the sublime uncovering only the inane. the feeling of aloneness in the universe while connecting with everyone else feeling alone and laughing at the simple irony we all feel alone together.
John Congleton, on Until the Horror Goes

"I produced the pAper chAse only really in the capacity that I was kind of the main guy in the band and we didn't have any money and so couldn't really afford to hire a proper producer. I think I was 23 or maybe younger when we made Young Bodies Heal Quickly... and what you're hearing on that is essentially somebody who had all these ideas about things he wanted to try on recordings but couldn't do on other people's records. It was just like, 'Oh, what happens if we take the drums and do this to them?' There just wasn't a lot of experimentation that I could do back in those days [with other artists]. A lot of what I did probably weren't great ideas, but I got them out of my system at least. For me, it was like, 'I'm just going to destroy the sound as much as possible! I'm going to try everything I can that I've always wanted to try. Maybe it'll be terrible but maybe it'll be cool!'
