Title:
La Llama
Label:
STONES THROW
Format:
CD
Price:
$15.00
Catalog #:
STH 2215CD
"Guillermo Scott Herren's albums as Prefuse 73 brought him a worldwide audience, critical praise, and inspired a generation of producers whose names are now commonplace on 'Year End Best' or 'Names to Watch' lists. But Herren's first album on Warp, a label synonymous with Prefuse's signature sound, wasn't a 'beat' album, but a key introduction to a most intriguing portion of Herren's multi-faceted musical persona: Savath and Savalas. Following two albums over five years on Warp, Herren has chosen to take a fresh approach with Savath and Savalas, releasing
La Llama
with Los Angeles-based Stones Throw Records. Herren, with Eva Puyuleo Muns and a new addition to the band, Roberto Carlos Lange, were inspired on
La Llama
by a shared love for South-American psychedelic music and the early '70s independent music scene that had briefly flourished in Recife, Brazil."

Title:
The Predicate (Dub Version)
Label:
STONES THROW
Format:
CD
Price:

Catalog #:
STH 2238CD
"Somehow a minimal Catalan psych-folk album inspired by Brazilian counter-current musical giants fell in line with Mars Volta-leader Omar Rodiguez Lopez's prog-rock opus
Old Money
and Madlib's
Beat Konducta 5 & 6
; in mid 2009 Stones Throw released Savath and Savalas's
La Llama
. That album, an acoustic excursion, drenched in Eva Puyelo Mins' breathy vocals, marched to its own beat, courtesy of Prefuse 73 and Roberto Carlos Lange, aka 'Heldado Negro' -- defiantly cerebral, not made for dancing, no 'stand-out-single'. This follow up entry into the Savath and Savalas book, etched by a new production entity we only know as 'The Predicate' (we think they're the same cats known as 'The Predicate Production Guild', who recently released a library album on Andy Votel's B-Music label) fits perfectly in Stones Throw's ever expanding musical novel. Who woulda thunk it, 'Catalan-folk-psych with minimalistelectronic- sensibilities' re-imagined as an excursion in neo-dub? Not us, but
The Predicate (Dub Version)
helps us through winter with just enough bounce to remind us of the warm days past and soon to come again."

Catalog #:
WAP 177CD
"A collection of eight tracks exclusive to this release. Eva's stunning vocal inflections are present once again, providing a sultry addition to Herren's mix of electronic and organic atmospheres. Continuing to show his breadth as both a songwriter and producer, Scott is able to effortlessly separate himself from the thick electronic funk of his Prefuse 73 moniker and, with Eva, creates bright slices of Spanish psychedelia."

"Savath & Savalas is Scott Herren (aka Prefuse 73) and Eva Puyuelo. After some months communicating via email while searching for a spot to live, Scott and Eva met at her house in Barcelona. Scott came from Atlanta searching for his roots and new winds. After immediately connecting in the spring of 2002 they exchanged impressions, ideas, different life styles and lots at music. They both share a passion for Brazilian music, the art of production (or lack of), very sad melodies and tortilla de patatas. What results is an album that is more like Spanish folk than any of Scott Herren's other productions."
