Sic Alps / Vedley

Drag City

In answer to the unasked, “why one single when twenty-three would do so much more for this world,” SIC ALPS have made a 7" record that pursues both options simultaneously, choosing quantity not over quality but instead declaring them equivalent, a musical answer not simply for short attention spans but for the meticulous, the fastidious, the obsessed and the tormented, all of whom have something to benefit from music of all kinds and all of whom will find their needs met at some point when they hear every bit of the scars-on-45 double-A rendition(s) called “Vedley.” “Vedley” is a single to end all singles, one that never really begins or ends and doesn’t loop either, existing instead open-ended as a beam into the night sky, traveling in the deep but threadbare pockets of the infinite and never growing old, like a valley where rain clouds are always approaching over the far horizon or a city where the rain is always falling, adding to the spray and clutter of the already crowded streets while removing nothing, accumulating; and the circle is never broken or unbroken but rolling on, unspoken of, onward, to and from the unknown.
