Miriodor & Cheer-Accident New Releases available on Wayside

[Baribrotzer]

And apparently the second Bubblemath album is finally done - about a decade late - and will be released on Cuneiform at the same time.

[Scrotum Scissor]

^ Great fit for both band and label, IMO. Very peculiar band; like Devo, Fishbone and Echolyn teaming up with Thank You Scientist. "Be Together" from their debut remains a sort of micro-underground schlager in these parts. I've even heard it played in a bar in Barcelona. Oddballsy.

Interesting days; Bubblemath on Cunei and Discipline on TLE.

Soon Lightning Bolt will be recording for K-Scope. Like.

And Bent Knee on InsideOut!

[Baribrotzer]

Bubblemath sound like five bands arguing. Although occasionally one will get the upper hand and out-shout the others, they spend most of the time interrupting one another, and sometimes all yelling at once. The result simultaneously recalls lots of different things, and nothing and no one else.

Well, at least they keep trying!

Next we'll have Shadow Gallery on Tzadik.

This made me laugh in real life actually.

Sounds right up my street

Cheer-Accident audio premiere here

[battema]

Both these lovelies arrived over the weekend, but I only started to give Cheer-Accident some attention this morning. Wow...I'm really liking this so far.

is that really true?

[Phlakaton]

New C-A - hmmm. Gonna keep playing it - lots to like - some not so much. A bit disappointed at first... but I think it needs more spins and attention. Doesnt help that some of it was a download from the website sub. The new TP will not be removed from the top slot.

[Scrotum Scissor]

100% true! We're talking of a squatter kinda den though, channelling some local or regional radio station which also played Don Cab, Pinback, Zu and more 'less-known' noise/math/avant/somewhat-prog stuff. This was in April 2013. I was still surprised on hearing Bubble there, but then again I've experienced even more bizarre incidents of related sort earlier.

[Kcrimso]

I ordered both albums today.

[zombywoof]

New Miriodor is SMOKIN off the charts fantastic. One of their finest!

Bought both but started with Miriodor

This is one of their best. It usually takes me a few spins - this one was awesome from the first

The story of each and every damn C-A album except for possibly FDM, I think.

[NogbadTheBad]

The Miriodor album seems particularly strong

I disagree only in that they have always purposefully cast a very, very wide net. That's just how they roll. That's what they are. Anything else wouldn't be C-A.

and sometimes the things I really don't like, I end up liking. Curse them.

That's the story of Cheer-Accident:

First they give you the Camphor Phenique - an' they give it to ya straight!
And then they give you the Warm Sitz-Bath - an' they give it to ya straight-no-chaser!.....

Precisely! That'd be the day - when Steve ends up mofo-digging "Camp o' Physique"!

I'm not saying there's much 'bad' music going on with C-A, I'm saying their albums aren't usually anywhere near "stylistically consistent" and that yeah, sure, it's profoundly deliberate. BUT! Additionally there's that tendency to be provocative in these choices and priorities, as when opening a double album (remember them?) With an 8-minute track called "Vacuum" essentially consisting of a band member kicking on and off an electric cleaner. I'd like to think a trait like this somehow transcends stylistic diversity.

Is it just me or is that the Waitsiest non Tom Waits song ever?

And just like him, they manage to infuse even the spoofiest of instrumental auras with a scent of melancholy - here by activating those trumpet double harmonies. I actually get a kick from that song precisely due to that antagonist flang.

[Steve F.]

Ah. You know the story.

Well, actually now I do mofo-dig that song, if only because of the story and hi-story and because they seem to have made it a very specific point that if I am in the audience, then they play that song; I've never seen them NOT play that song!

I can see not wanting to hear that.
I can see not wanting to be the guy to release that.
Etc.

But there is something very brave and cool about a determination to actually do something like that. IMO.

I just received new Miriodor and Cheer-Accident today. Miriodor did not do major impact on the first listen but Cheer-Accident... wow! Just brilliant! It clicked immediately for my! I am surprised if Putting Off Death does not feature quite high on my 2017 finest albums list.
