LTFR 020: White Light & The American Drone Band - '4.14.79'
"Dark, dank, blissed and pissed jams from a Portland all-star cast. Members of White Light, Tempera, Cursillistas, Visitations, Computer At Sea, Planets Around The Sun and many more congregating under the full moon for a good ole fashioned howlin'. Vocal moans, analog synth tones, dueling Crazy Horse-style guitar leads, and a crazy wasted drum circle. All in good fun, of course. Tracing a line from Amon Duul I to Sun Ra to the new weird hypnogogic, this is a celebration of "the now drone" ... this is an exploration of "the dub" ... this is the story of "the drum" ... Stay in the rhythm. Two extended improvised pieces, pro-recorded by Pete Nenortas and lovingly pieced together by your emcee, Ian Paige. 28 minute mini-album, on white-top CD-R, with pro-printed CD insert sleeve on textured art paper, limited to 100 unnumbered copies."
Cursillistas/White Light 12" split - "Travel Light" - SOLD OUT -
Limited Tour Edition.
With a US tour booked last June, Cursillistas and White Light decided to press an extremely limited edition tour-only 12" vinyl LP for the occasion. Cursillistas' side begins with previously-unreleased live favorite "Crutches" (hand-picked by White Light for this split), and then follows up with a bummer-folk quartet of their most recently-recorded material. White Light presents four previously-unreleased songs on their side of the split, which mark their first official output since a well-received 7" single in the Tryst Haunt Series over a year ago. A warm lo-fi glow cushions these psych-soul-pop tunes, which mix communal spaced-out jams with heavy loner meditations. Pressed onto black vinyl, packaged in a silkscreened art paper sleeve, and includes high-quality mp3 download of the album. Limited to 150 copies!
Tryst Haunt Series: number 705
Split 7" White Light's "Saraswati" b/w Barry Burst's "Rabies"
"ian paige's white light project turns in a graceful, drony and jangly piece of classic lo-fi psych-pop, with a subtle galloping rhythm track keeping the good vibes in line. swirls of phasing synth quietly sneak up on the sweet vocals and lead guitars until all ride off on the figurative elephant in the sky. meanwhile, perennial favorite barry burst crashes that elephant back to the earth dirt and kicks up a party that could only be described as bollywood on acid. tablas and a host of handclaps provide the rhythmic thrust, while eastern strings and a chorus of singers (a multi-tracked barry) parade the blissfully gone love-fest through town. black 7" vinyl record with hand-stamped center labels held in a tri-fold die-cut chipboard sleeve, letterpressed and screenprinted in a multicolor design, with screenprinted chipboard insert. hand-numbered to 300."
l'a-t-(f)-r 004 white light's for your leaves - SOLD OUT -
"in which the bedroom and the aether mix in a tuneful headtrip through folk psychedelia. originally released (and out-of-print) as a debut cdr when the band was called certain numbers, now almost completely re-worked with new sonic trances and our favorite tunes still intact. the album begins with four songs of sublime lo-fi folk, accented with subtle and unique instrumentation and electronic tones. then, for a moment, it takes a side-road that wormholes into the cosmos for an extended section of warm electronic instrumentals, with machines and controlled feedback fraternizing with thumb-piano, snippets of conversation, and other acoustic sounds. all is pulled back to earth with the final track, featuring a guitar strum, percussion, and melodic confessions to bring this wayfaring ship home."
"White Light do a sweetly jangled volk-pop number. The results are exactly as pleasing as the concept." - The Wire UK
"A drifting cloud of psychedelic friendliness." - Terrascope
"Ian Paige offers a blissed-out song that purrs and drones and tramps along. It's an odd blend of forceful rhythm (a distant cousin of the drum part on the Pretty Things' "Private Sorrow"), minimal but resonant melody, and overtones from a grove of fuzzy guitars: an abundance of open strings and pinkies grabbing variations of the principle chord. Partly because of its swirling, circular movement, the music feels effortless: you may think that it's still getting going when the track starts to fade. I find myself wanting to start "Saraswati" again, like the first singles I ever loved and bought myself. You want to play it over and over, beginning to end to beginning, to keep that soundworld alive." - The Bollard
