"Ara Pick Up & Run 2007 LP captures two performances of reed instruments, singing, percussion, and a very hazy, thick atmosphere that might float over the flower fireworks captured in these two performances. Ara is the Lexington, KY-based duo of Sara O'Keefe and Trevor Tremaine of such outfits as Eyes and Arms of Smoke, Hair Police, Burning Star Core, Sick Hour, Death Unit, and Rampart Tapes board of direction. However, these adjectives of death, sick, police -- of those maybe there need to be new descriptions in place. We're not quite sure what it is, but in this alternate universe it could be the Peace Police, Skywatcher Hour, Life Unit, Colourful Star Party, etc. who are close neighbors. Fleeting 'jazz' reference, male/female lowlife love vocals, drugstore basement electroacoustic, just warm and cloudy all over like a yesterday today. Features the most complicated WHAT THE..? Records covers so far, each unique handmade and silkscreened by Paul Coors; the materials you have come to expect melted together in rare effort. Paintspray turns into watercolours, perfume, and northern lights -- with a mini-poster and edition of 177 (there are no controls on Mother Nature)."
