Artist: BEIRUT Title: Gulag Orkestar
Format: CD Catalog
Number:		 BING048
Price: $12.00 Label: Ba Da Bing
Release
Date:		 5/1/06
***While it may sound like an entire Balkan gypsy orchestra playing modern songs as mournful ballads and upbeat marches, Beirut's first album, Gulag Orkestar, is actually the work of 19-year-old Albuquerque native Zach Condon, with an assist from Jeremy Barnes (Neutral Milk Hotel, A Hawk and a Hacksaw). There are no guitars on this album; instead, horns, violins, cellos, ukuleles, mandolins, glockenspiel, drums, tambourines, congas, organs, pianos, clarinets and accordions all build and break around Condon's deep-voiced crooner vocals, swaying to the Eastern European beats like a drunken twelve-member carnival band.

Though young, Condon has already recorded several albums of astonishing diversity. He recorded under the name Real People when he was fifteen, crafting an electronic record inspired by his love of the Magnetic Fields. At sixteen, he recorded an entire doo-wop album that sounds a bit like like Frankie and the Teenagers. Although he was a straight-A student, in 2002 Condon dropped out of school to travel Europe, cavorting and partying with the locals wherever he went. During one of these evenings that he was first exposed to Balkan gypsy music, blasting from an upstairs apartment. Condon went to investigate, and stayed up all night with a Serbian artist, going through albums country by country, note for note. Gulag Orkestar is the direct result of what he learned that night.

This past winter, Condon headed to Sea Side Studios in Brooklyn's Park Slope where, along with Barnes and A Hawk and a Hacksaw's Heather Trost, he added percussion and violin overdubs to his original compositions. The resulting record sounds like a Neutral Milk Hotel from behind the iron curtain (for those playing along at home, look into the Boban Markovic Orchestra). Gulag Orkestar is a glorious sweep of music, striking in its emotional content and stunning in its scope.

Artist: BEIRUT Title: Lon Gisland
Format: CDEP Catalog
Number:		 BING052
Price: $6.00 Label: Ba Da Bing!
Release
Date:		 1/22/07
***The sleeper hit of 2006, Beirut's Gulag Orkestar came out of nowhere to sell tens of thousands of copies in a matter of months and wound up on countless critics' year-end lists. As a stopgap before recording a new full-length in Fall 2007 -- and as a way to capture some current songs being performed at shows -- the eight-member band checked into Sea Side Studios in Brooklyn to record Lon Gisland.

These are the first studio recordings made by the entire group, and a sampling of the most recent songs by orkestar leader Zach Condon. Lon Gisland features four new tunes and a full band reworking of Gulag's "Scenic World." The five-song EP was initially released with the European edition of Gulag Orkestar (4AD) and as a limited edition, one-sided vinyl 12-inch by Chouette. The Ba Da Bing edition is in a highly collectible digipak format.

Artist: BEIRUT Title: The Flying Club Cup
Format: LP Catalog
Number:		 BING055
Price: $13.00 Label: Ba Da Bing
Release
Date:		 10/29/07
***Since its release in May of 2006, Beirut's internationally celebrated Gulag Orkestar album has soundscanned more than 45,000 copies, and the band has done a tsunami of interviews, photoshoots and features (including NY Times, Spin, Pitchfork, Urb, and Village Voice). This great fervor developed around an album conceived and constructed in a teenager's New Mexico bedroom.

Six months of recording has led to The Flying Club Cup, an homage to France's culture, fashion, history, and music. Two years ago, Zach Condon immersed himself in Balkan folk, absorbed sounds, scales, styles, and the sonic joys of a skeletally structured, cacophonic ensembleoand moved west. Soaking up the likes of Francois Hardy, Charles Aznavour, and, most notably, Jacques Brel (a huge influence on both Scott Walker and Mark E. Smith), Condon has been articulating his conversational French.

Most of the album was created at a nondescript Albuquerque office space, a.k.a. A Hawk and a Hacksaw's practice room; Heather Trost plays violin and viola on three songs. Engineering and production assistance came from Griffin Rodriguez (A Hawk and a Hacksaw, Man Man). He helped separate the many instrumentalists involved in recording, as opposed to Gulag's largely solo flight.The orkestar, which has solidified into a core group of eight members, has grand plans for replicating the album live, and is now an integral part of Beirut's identity. Additional recording was done with Owen Pallet (Final Fantasy) at the Masonic church studio owned by The Arcade Fire.

Within the spectacle and intimacy of The Flying Club Cup, you can hear a love letter to the joie de vivre that defines our existence. Listen closer, and you also hear the emergence of a singular musical talent of Mr. Zachary F. Condon, at present living in Paris-- unbounded by cultural borders and by where his heart travels.

A September-October '07 tour of nice theaters in large U.S. cities is in the planning stages, as are more dates in 2008.

Artist: CLEANDENIM, PATRICK Title: Baby Comes Home
Format: CD Catalog
Number:		 BING054CD
Price: $12.00 Label: Ba Da Bing!
Release
Date:		 7/9/07
***Baby Comes Home is the extraordinary debut album by 22 year old Patrick Cleandenim. Combining a love of classic songcraft with a mountain of charisma, Cleandenim is just at the start of a highly promising career.

After playing with Kansas favorites Clockwork, Patrick began performing under his own name with help from his brother Andrew and Clockwork drummer Jim Pillar. Shows opening for bands like The Decemberists and John Vanderslice followed until Patrick moved to New York to attend the prestigious Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Arts.

Two years later, in December of 2005, Patrick returned to Lawrence to record Baby Comes Home. Booking an armful of sessions at Black Lodge Recording Studio (co-owned by local heroes the Get Up Kids) and with a killer rhythm section in tow, Patrick expanded the band to orchestra size by enlisting the help and goodwill of music students from University of Kansas to serve as string and horn sections. The sessions took place in the graveyard slot of 12:00 - 4:00 am. On the last day of recording, Patrick turned 21.

Baby Comes Home inhabits a lush world of its own. From the opening drum beat crack of "Baby Comes Home" to the dying seconds of "Hollywood," there's a sense of identity to the album that's rarely achieved these days, like a great novel or film rather than just a collection of songs. While prime time Scott Walker may be an initial point of comparison, Baby Comes Home also features a strong jazz influence on many of its tracks alongside the footprints of Phil Spector, Elvis Presley, David Axelrod and a Tin Pan Alley approach to classic pop song structures.

The next step for Patrick is to bring the album to life on stage, which will be accomplished in Summer 2007.

30-second MP3 excerpts:

Baby Comes Home
Hypnotized
Cognac And Caviar
Until You Said I'm Gone
Days Without Rain
Interlude
Rocket To The Moon
Birds Of Fashion
So You Think You're Gonna Live Forever

Artist: COLOSSAL YES Title: Acapulco Roughs
Format: CD Catalog
Number:		 BING046
Price: $12.00 Label: Ba Da Bing
Release
Date:		 2/20/06
***Widely known as the 'drummer dude' in Comets on Fire, Utrillo Kushner's musical talents range far beyond the drunken-master-style wailing he unleashes on any given night with the Comets. It's his skills as a songwriter and bandleader that impress on the sentimental rock stylings of Acapulco Roughs. Having tickled the ivories for close to a decade, Kushner assumes command of the keys in Colossal Yes and steps it up as a full-fledged piano man.

The songs on Acapulco Roughs have existed in Kushner's mind for years, heard only by a few close friends on home demos or at one of a handful of solo shows. Far from their humble beginnings, these simple piano chords and melodies have morphed and developed over the years, reaching maximum clarity on the Acapulco sessions.

Acapulco Roughs is so pure, so honest, that it risks a headlong dive into cheeseville. Kushner repeatedly urges his side men to 'play how you think Mark Knopfler would play!' and rallies his players with calls for 'More Fozzie Bear!' when the group loses focus. The risks are obvious, but the payoff is ever greater chooglin'. In fact, the two elements that should damn this album to lite-rock purgatory-- unabashed sincerity and piano-playing-- miraculously work to its advantage. Somehow, when untainted musicianship meets earnest presentation something happens, and the results are damn good. Maybe it's just the joy of creation.

If you haven't guessed yet, this is the '70s. The idealized, mythological '70s, where you're not sick of great songs because play-it-to-death AOR stations haven't been invented yet. Think Badfinger, Spirit, Procol Harum, The Band. The true essence of rock, stripped to its essentials by virtue of its vainglorious indulgences, existing forever as the absolute articulation of the form. Colossal Yes is the greatest affirmation of them all, bigger than big, and there's no joke behind the smiling.

30-second MP3 excerpts:

Just Like A Mademoiselle
A Titan's Buffet
The Honeycreeper Smiles
O'Crocus Shall Be Raised
A Fig For Misfortune
Between Ass & Ophir
Poor Boy's Zodiac
There's Red Dirt In Wine

Artist: DEAD C. Title: Vain, Erudite And Stupid: Selected Works 1987-2005
Format: CD Catalog
Number:		 BING050
Price: $9.50 Label: Ba Da Bing!
Release
Date:		 7/24/06
***There's no icorrecti way to respond to The Dead Cis music. With a catalogue that oscillates between subverting traditional song structures and stomping out and obliterating the very notion, New Zealandis Michael Morley, Bruce Russell and Robbie Yeats have continually made the most crushing, expansive and intelligent rock noise ever to be heard. The number of their peers who are also fans o Yo La Tengo, Sonic Youth, Comets On Fire, Black Dice o shows the league in which they play.

The Dead C have been creating the greatest of squalls for twenty years now, and to mark the anniversary, Ba Da Bing is proud to present this double CD retrospective, with tracks hand-picked by the band members themselves, collecting old and new faves and out-of-print rarities. All this at a price so nice, youid think you were picking up a ten-song Supertramp greatest hits package.

This release serves long-time fans and the curious alike, as chances are few people have heard everything on these discs. The band chose critical highlights as well as material they felt deserved wider exposure. While classics like iConstellation,i iPower,i and iBitcheri are present, so are obscurities like iMightyi from their Forced Exposure 7-inch, iAll Channels Openi from the limited, double-disc DC record and i3 Yearsi from the Xpressway Pile-Up compilation. The real thrill is listening to the bandis development over time, from the deconstructed skeletal rock of their early output to the eventual, cosmic marriage of reason and squalor that is as crushing as it is indescribable.

Artist: JAIN, ESSIE Title: The Inbetween
Format: CD Catalog
Number:		 BING056CD
Price: $12.00 Label: Ba Da Bing
Release
Date:		 5/5/08
***Essie Jain's stunning new album, The Inbetween, attains a new high point for the songwriter, exploring the nuances of intimacy as she never has before. The songs are direct and captivating in their honesty, and serve to reflect the artful beauty that can result from periods of clarity.

After the release of last year's We Made This Ourselves (soon to be issued in Europe by The Leaf Label), Jain led her band around the country on tours before returning to New York and jumping back into writing and recording. Having solidified a fellow group of musicians, the British-born Jain drew from current challenges in her life. "I was in this space where things weren't ready to take their next shape yet-- in some ways it was a really beautiful experience, because you can't force things and it nails you down, and in another, you can see the opening into the next chapter and you can't reach it," she says. Music serves as a means towards making sense of a situation, and Jain chose to name her record The Inbetween in order to highlight the ephemeral nature of the issues she addresses.

Recording with a larger group of musicians, Jain experimented with new ways of orchestrating songs. "The record had a personality that came about and evolved of its own accord, whereas the first record had a tighter lid on it, because I needed it to be a more internal piece." The Inbetween features an array of instruments-- French horn, clarinet, Rhodes piano, cello, trumpet--but none are more central to the songs than Jain's vocals, which remain the strident and captivating centerpiece of each composition.

Essie Jain will be touring throughout the States summer and fall '08.

Artist: JAIN, ESSIE Title: We Made This Ourselves
Format: CD Catalog
Number:		 BING051
Price: $12.00 Label: Ba Da Bing!
Release
Date:		 2/5/07
***We Made This Ourselves, the first album by New York-via-London expat Essie Jain, is an insanely spare and sparse work. Accompanied by piano and guitar (as well as other instruments, like drums by Jim White of The Dirty Three), Jain's vocals breathe in the space between the words and phrases. The album sounds like she's surrounded by an entire orchestra, each member waiting patiently for their one moment to play, then fading again to stillness.

In 2004, she started recording at home with an eight-track. This gave her the freedom to experiment. She realized what she needed to do in order to create the sound she wanted -- nothing. Let the songs be roughly hewn. Keep them minimal. Avoid all indulgences. Let the music get as dark as it has to be. Her past few years' life experience gave rise to the lyrics that are so central to this record.

The result is We Made This Ourselves, a stunningly emotional album. At the core, Essie Jain's songs are touching, haunting melodies that can strike out on one fragile, repeating note. Yet, they sound indestructible. It's like nothing you've ever heard before, and it is spoken with a powerful quiet.

Artist: JUNEAU Title: S/T
Format: CD Catalog
Number:		 BING 011 CD
Price: $9.50 Label: Ba Da Bing
A primarily improvised series of musical events charted by two guitars and some drums that refreshingly doesn't suck for a change. Layers of droning noise and weaved interplay that drifts well between minimalist passages and soaring grand sound abstractions. A nice fill in the void between Dead C and the Ash Ra Tempel.

Artist: PARK ATTACK Title: Half Past Human
Format: CD Catalog
Number:		 BING047
Price: $12.00 Label: Ba Da Bing
Release
Date:		 3/20/06
***Park Attack are the new noise. Driven and intense, the band's music is an explosion of feedbacking power and wild-throated melody. Founded by the trio of guitarist Rob Churm, drummer Lorna Gilfedder and keyboardist Tom Straughan, Park Attack have been the best kept secret of the Glasgow music scene for years.

After releasing their debut EP in 2005 (the stunning 16-minute Last Drop At Hideout, on French label Tigersushi and Club Optimo's O.S.C.A.R.R. imprint in the UK) the group headed to France to record their first full-length. A wild mix of stomp rock, slop punk and no wave intensity, Half-Past Human recalls the tribal arrhythmic sounds of DNA, the blaring energy of Teenage Jesus and the Jerks, and the noise-guitar hell of early Sonic Youth. The synth-heavy sound does little to smooth the roughly sewn corners, which sets electronics against grumbling guitar and wailing vocals. The recent addition of a fourth member, Jamie Grier, on electronics, synth, and bass has further intensified the band's sound. Live, they are a severe, stomping force of nature and with a host of US dates planned for 2006, the noise will finally be heard.

30-second MP3 excerpts:

They, "Which Is Worst?"
The Slow Clap
The Racket

Bleed at Both Ends

Beak As Tool
