Jib Kidder and Earzumba Split 12-inch with DVR

Release Jib Kidder show Sept. 30 at the Wulf, Los Angeles

Jib Kidder is Sean Yent-Shustercraig’s appropriator identity, a sort of graffiti tag in the virtual non-identity world. Heard on vinyl or as the soundtrack to his youtube collages, “Lossy Angeles” is a whirlwind of wild references and vanishing points; a mixture of audio-visual cues from beyond and within soul fried together, spiced and spliced with maximum frettage. JK, raised in Atlanta and tutored by guitarist Jimmy Young and artist Alex Kvares, recorded his side in Ann Arbor, Grand Rapids, Atlanta, Portland, San Francisco and Los Angeles over a span of three recent months. These tracks are not only funky and awesome; they also ponder the surrender of cultural forces to unexpected collaboration and permutations. The fireworks that result – as they do here - point towards a new kind of art revolution ahead. The microcosmic potential of sampling is limitless.
Similarly, Earzumba mixes “real” instruments with millions of random samples for a kaleidoscopic spiral rainbow of massive colours reflecting the environs of his portastudio: Vienna, Buenos Aires, Germany and Barcelona. Earzumba was a founding member of Reynols and presents the follow up to his Old Gold 2005 release “Simulando En Refugio” with a spicy glissando of “digital gloss” (JK’s words) more like Beaver and Krause than the Beastie Boys, but not without killer breaks. Earzumba draws from a spectacular palette of field (city) and jungle (nocturnal) recordings – employing live musicians Tomas Muller (space guiter), Edu Herrera (distorted wahwah guitar), Rafa Franceschelli (bass) and ‘unknown African drums, free doom metal, Muriel Latow and drunken bandoneon (Earzumba’s words).’ A glorious wash of exotic noise mixed with beautiful jams – Ives, Satie, and Zoviet France.

A word about the new site: a number of limited edition and occasionoally available releases from our massive discography dating back to 1994 may not be listed on oldgold.org. Please refer to this blog where we will frequently update the status of these more ephemeral releases, as well as distributed items and audio visual treats.

ENDLESS FASCINATION VIDEOS

Here's some footage of the "making of" Sea is for Cookie and Crictor, part of the Endless Fascination series of releases. Nice.

A new series of CDR releases from Marshall Avett - each limited to 26 copies, lettered A to z - featuring nothing but the sounds of skipping records.

VOLUME 1: Gospel Pet Fat
Recorded around 1997, this one features a wide range of records that might play for a bit but then start skipping, natural skips, forced skips, warped LPs, you name it. One track, 45 minutes. Orange spray painted case and disc.

VOLUME 3: Sea is for Cookie
Features Bella Avett in the background on keyboard and toddler talk. Heavy on the Sesame Street Live, David Bowie, Paul McCartney, Erik B. & Rakim, TGT, Phil Collins, Lil Jon, etc. One track, 45 minutes. Blue spray painted case and disc.

VOLUME 4: Crictor
Was going to spray paint over this story book seven inch then started listening to it. Sheesh! Weird story, weirder skips. Down right creepy in places. One track, 36 minutes. Red spray painted case (with google eye on snake) and disc.

$5 each. Please specify which volume or volumes you want when ordering.

Coming soon from Old Gold: Jib Kidder / Earzumba Split 12"/DVR

you all know Earzumba, the Argentine/Spaniard on a mission to dissolve all our synapses into a pool of salsa gravy. His second release for Old Gold is sure to push the balloon further into the velvet until the collective unconsciousness explodes in bewilderment. He is joined on side 2 by his west coast North American cohort and Old Gold first timer Sean Schustercraig aka Jibb Kidder. Kidder gets the honors of answering Earzumba's side with his own zaptastic kaeleidescope of free-crunk misinvention, AND the bonus honors of collecting his massively viral online videos for a first ever compilation (the DVR will also include audio tracks from the album). Stay tuned for a release date, and go see Sean this Thursday at Kavarna with Bon Vivant Ben Lawless' King Congregation.
