Various Artists - Stones Throw & Leaving Records: Dual Form - [Vinyl]

Collaborative release by Stones Throw and Leaving Records, a Los Angeles cassette label whose international reach belies its boutique status and DIY style. Its rare editions are snatched up instantly, sent off to the mailboxes of those who know around the globe. Dual Form finds Leaving teaming up for the first time with Stones Throw, sharing a similar spirit and an enthusiasm for outsider music and art. Leaving is run by gut instinct over genre, and their family of contributors has grown to include folks as physically and stylistically far-flung as U.K. dance usurper The Cyclist, Moscow beat beast Lapti, Baltimore New Ageist Semya, Philly producer Knx, and Belgian collagist Ssaliva. Naturally, Dual Form reflects the brightly burning light guiding Leaving s doings: an elevated level of experimentation combined with the twinning beliefs that art is sacred and music is magic. In a way, avant chanteuse Julia Holter provides this set s mantra with her haunting live cover of Arthur Russell s You And Me Both . Anticon s Odd Nosdam delivers the booming but elegiac Sisters , Postal Service electrician Dntel gets playful with Windy Windy , psychedelic blueser Sun Araw discovers transcendence for Right Off , and Serengeti teams with Matthewdavid for the far-out rap of Into the Night . Dual Form could have easily become a retrospective of Leaving s greatest hits but that would be a disingenuous introduction to a label that s always looking forward. All of the tracks on the album are new, original recordings. If the names gathered here look unfamiliar, now is a good time to start studying them.
