RELEASE DATE: 1/19/2024
Available for the first time and on CD only, the live sessions of Baba Stiltz second LP Paid Testimony recorded in 2023 at the legendary Atlantis Studios in Stockholm. When he's not writing or recording, Baba Stiltz immerses in fearless fiction by the likes of Denis Johnson and Dodie Bellamy; prose where pedestrian details become transcendent in aggregate and the inner lives of marginal characters are examined as though they were kings. A similar thesis runs through Paid Testimony, the essential second tape of minimalist guitar music from the Filipino-American-Swedish artist. In recent years, Stiltz has made like Lee Hazelwood's Cowboy In Sweden in reverse, making annual pilgrimages from Stockholm to California and reconnecting with his roots via a guitar and a Fostex four-track. He's drawn to the less glamorous corners of the golden state, an observant habitué of unkempt streets and dive bars stretching from LA to Vacaville. It's a long stretch from the jetset techno clubs where Baba originally plied his musical trade, but it's where he finds characters and ideas worth writing about. The characters on Paid Testimony are on the edge and on the run. Surrounded by flawed men with big schemes since childhood, he extrapolates characters who plot bank heists and order milk and vodka in AM hours, the type of confrontation -- prone characters who "say some shit, make everyone uncomfortable and then just split." To focus on the rawness of this document would discount the humor and sympathy with which he treats his characters, not to mention the subtly-psychedelic songwriting recalling David Berman, early Smog, the original indie rock minimalist poets. On the final song, Stiltz looks back on the city that raised him, "Stockholm," referencing "young professionals carelessly living" before adding "I can't say I'm not jealous even though I live my life just like they do." There's an honesty in the small details revealed on Paid Testimony, and a defined sense of place, be it Stockholm, Sacramento or some dim barroom across from the Bank Of America. Baba doesn't quite fit in anywhere. This outsider quality has often been used as a marketing tool, yet here, it lends a writerly aspect to the proceedings, an unreality to the everyday.

Nice Girl presents the highly anticipated follow up to Ipsum. Two years have passed since Ipsum was released, back then the wild 15-track-long ride has been paraphrased as "mind boggling, tongue in cheek, spiritual and danceable" by RA. Ruby's second album titled UPP is more lighthearted compared to its predecessor as she moves away from the somewhat darker, earthy tones of Ipsum to create a fun, quirky, bleepy and fast universe where pitched vocals meet breakbeats and cosmic melodies. The album includes features by Eden Burns as well as Michael Kime, who as it happens is Ruby's father.

Public Possession presents Aiden Ayers's debut album, Venus Copper Rose. A few words by the artist himself: "Venus Copper Rose came to me in a dream. The three words are all the same thing, symbols of beauty and material formations of love. Together they are a VCR (videocassette recorder) -- a memory machine, a portal into fantasy and myth + a transcriber of dreams. The songs on the album represent the past five years of my life. The oldest of them were written and first recorded in 2017 and the youngest barely made it to the mastering session on time. I am always writing and recording, travelling to and fro, on little islands off the coast of BC, down to the California desert, or in makeshift basement studios throughout Vancouver. Every song has grown up and been captured in a different way -- the album is a wild garden of misfits, flowers and weeds. I hope that people feel nourished by this album -- I believe that is the ultimate role of music, like another kind of food, light, or love. I hope these songs and this album can help people see the beauty and poetry that flows through their own lives."

Nice Girl is back with four Tracks sitting somewhere between chillout, club, and experimental. Fans will already know about her unique approach to sound, always surprising and fresh very hard to categorize. Although the four tracks can very much be viewed as an extension of her debut album Ipsum (PP 057LP), the overall tone of the EP is somewhat brighter with more light, at times almost euphoric.

DJ Chrysalis who has appeared on Public Possession before with contributions to the Chill Pill series now delivers this five-track debut EP on the label. When he is not out and about in the Australian outback he works on his ceramics or makes music. The former definitely inform the later as you can hear a clear connection to earth and a strong spiritual vibe in the five songs that put a contemporary touch into an ancient cosmic vision.

First physical solo release of singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Aiden Ayers comes in the form of a 7" showing two sides to his work. "Off My Mind" highly spiritual, almost psychedelic guitar pop and "Surface Tension" slightly more heavy downbeat instrumental vibes, both equally mesmerizing these tracks give small hints to what is still to come in 2022.

Part I (Disc 1): The Taiwanese artist Yutie Lee covers six Chinese folk songs about flowers. "Tuberosa", "Rose", "Jasmine", "Plum Blossom", "Orchids", and "Chamomile" all are odes to the beauty of the plant. The flower also being a metaphor for something you are desperately longing for, but can never quite get. However, you may want to interpret the songs, they are all telling a story of something pure and indestructible. In the end nature will prevail? Romantic thoughts created in a time long before the current state of the world. By artificially mutating her voice, Yutie Lee successfully manages to transfer the songs into 2020's arguably much more complex, dystopian reality. She does this not without a bow to the past, prevailing something of the original songs' sweet essence, even adding a layer of humor... in the end leaving the listener with a feeling of good hope.
Part II (Disc 2-3): To complete the package, Yutie Lee's versions have been remixed by Alva Noto, Bell Towers, Laura Groves, Oceanic, and Suzanne Kraft.

Public Possession share with you the debut album from Nice Girl titled Ipsum. As a natural progression from her prior singles on Public Possession, the music has a very capturing energy; although essentially machine music every single sound on the record seems connected with mother Earth. It's rooted in the common ground that is home to all of us: the soil that nurtures flora and fauna, the air we breathe, the water we drink, the sun and moon that shine upon our bodies. One tribe, a million rituals, a common ground: the dance (the beat). Repetitive rhythms creating a sense of community and togetherness. Features Eden Burns.
