Dear Life:

"Subminiature, the new live album by Philadelphia instrumental chamber folk ensemble Hour, comes fresh off the heels of 2024’s ‘Ease the Work’ and provides a capstone for the band’s oeuvre to date, brandishing new material alongside longstanding arrangements of pieces from 2018’s ‘Anemone Red’ and ‘Tiny Houses’, the inaugural releases of Dear Life Records.

Across this collection of recordings harvested over two years of extensive DIY touring, bandleader/composer Michael Cormier-O’Leary demonstrates a deep understanding of the character of his shifting ensemble and its players. Subminiature also serves as a hard worn tour diary, cataloguing concerts that were affectionally curated to highlight the strength of the music; at once adventurous and melodic and insistent upon spaces that encourage deeper connection. These tours saw the group performing in movie theaters, on islands, in machine shops and parking garages, crowded bars and living rooms, churches and theaters. Invariably, the music expands and contracts to match the space the ensemble is performing in. Recorded on a range of recording devices, this impressive live album highlights the focus and dynamism of a hardworking, fluid ensemble."

Who is your “true self” \u0026amp; what do they want? With their sixth studio album “Wish Defense” (again for longtime home Trouble In Mind Records), Chicago trio FACS take a good, long look in the mirror to face themselves.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u2028\u2028The return of original member Jonathan Van Herik - who stepped away from the group just before their debut album “Negative Houses” was released in 2018 - replacing longtime bassist Alianna Kalaba brings renewed vigor \u0026amp; a marked angularity from the band’s more recent output. The songs still hit hard, but the approach is sideways - the roles have changed since Van Herik’s original tenure \u0026amp; his previous time with Case \u0026amp; powerhouse drummer Noah Leger in Disappears; now on bass, Van Herik was originally the group’s guitar player and features on the debut, while current guitarist Brian Case played bass. This role reversal has helped the band’s dynamic, offering up a different musical perspective than before, now revisiting the trio’s long-going collaboration with some distance and time. \u2028\u2028\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eCase notes that the lyrics on “Wish Defense” revolve around doppelgängers or \"doubles”, tackling the idea of facing\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e yourself and observing your ideas and motivations. Look no further than the album’s title track; “Enter the mirror \/ Double walker \/ An intimate \/ Wish defense \/ Is it real? \/ You beside me \/ The detail \/ Terrifying \/ Abject self \/ Your grief \/ A public \/ Performance”. Case lays out the entire album’s theme in one stanza; Are your actions \u0026amp; emotions your true self? Or are they a performative aspect of that “other” person you put forward? Case says that ultimately the sentiment is “…don’t let the bastards get you down, there’s something beyond this moment, like hope - but not in the naive belief that ultimately people are good”. “Wish Defense”s artwork is also a subtle reference to “Negative Houses”’ art, returning to that album’s black \u0026amp; white starkness \u0026amp; minimalism. The album’s checkerboards everywhere are offset reflections of themselves, mirrored with the album’s lyrics printed front \u0026amp; center on the cover. Everything is out in the open. \u2028\u2028\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA final note; “Wish Defense” is the last album engineered by Steve Albini. Two days were recorded at Electrical Audio in early May of 2024 before Steve’s untimely passing, with renowned engineer \u0026amp; friend Sanford Parker stepping in to finish the session 24 hours later, tracking the last bits of vocals and overdubs.

Who is your “true self” \u0026amp; what do they want? With their sixth studio album “Wish Defense” (again for longtime home Trouble In Mind Records), Chicago trio FACS take a good, long look in the mirror to face themselves.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u2028\u2028The return of original member Jonathan Van Herik - who stepped away from the group just before their debut album “Negative Houses” was released in 2018 - replacing longtime bassist Alianna Kalaba brings renewed vigor \u0026amp; a marked angularity from the band’s more recent output. The songs still hit hard, but the approach is sideways - the roles have changed since Van Herik’s original tenure \u0026amp; his previous time with Case \u0026amp; powerhouse drummer Noah Leger in Disappears; now on bass, Van Herik was originally the group’s guitar player and features on the debut, while current guitarist Brian Case played bass. This role reversal has helped the band’s dynamic, offering up a different musical perspective than before, now revisiting the trio’s long-going collaboration with some distance and time. \u2028\u2028\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eCase notes that the lyrics on “Wish Defense” revolve around doppelgängers or \"doubles”, tackling the idea of facing\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e yourself and observing your ideas and motivations. Look no further than the album’s title track; “Enter the mirror \/ Double walker \/ An intimate \/ Wish defense \/ Is it real? \/ You beside me \/ The detail \/ Terrifying \/ Abject self \/ Your grief \/ A public \/ Performance”. Case lays out the entire album’s theme in one stanza; Are your actions \u0026amp; emotions your true self? Or are they a performative aspect of that “other” person you put forward? Case says that ultimately the sentiment is “…don’t let the bastards get you down, there’s something beyond this moment, like hope - but not in the naive belief that ultimately people are good”. “Wish Defense”s artwork is also a subtle reference to “Negative Houses”’ art, returning to that album’s black \u0026amp; white starkness \u0026amp; minimalism. The album’s checkerboards everywhere are offset reflections of themselves, mirrored with the album’s lyrics printed front \u0026amp; center on the cover.
