I'm excited to hear the rest of that Congos collaboration. Who's the other dude who he did it with?
― She Got the Shakes, Sunday, 18 March 2012 23:09 (twelve years ago) link
Mark Geddes Gengras is also the other guy in Duppy Gun Productions, apart from that I don't know much about him.
Interview with Cameron Stallones in this month's Wire btw.

Yeah, I read that. It was all a little high falutin' for my dumb ass. I like the jams, though.
― Walter Galt, Monday, 19 March 2012 10:03 (twelve years ago) link
I just learned it's "highfalutin," not "high falutin'," so that fancy magazine learned me something after all.
― Walter Galt, Monday, 19 March 2012 10:07 (twelve years ago) link
let's all get high and do some falutin'

stopped reading that sentence at DJ Rupture can you sum it up for me

That story is worth clicking on just to see the pictures of Stallones looking totally blazed imo.

it's not that highfalutin'. good article.

was just listening to this dude playing music on the dublab stream, dude's set started off pretty amazingly

We like him

the show I saw abt a month ago where he just played with his one friend or w/e was better than any of the ones I've seen w/ his band imo
― puff puff post (uh oh I'm having a fantasy), Wednesday, 16 May 2012 02:45 (twelve years ago) link
i'm kinda disappointed by this congos thing, it's got that "half baked" vibe of all those really bad post-90s random lee perry collaborations
― the late great, Wednesday, 16 May 2012 02:46 (twelve years ago) link
totally, I kind of skipped thru it once, nothing really held me
― puff puff post (uh oh I'm having a fantasy), Wednesday, 16 May 2012 02:47 (twelve years ago) link
packaging is really dope
maybe it's just suffering cause i also grabbed the two sevens clash remaster at the same time which is like thee roots and culture album of all time
― the late great, Wednesday, 16 May 2012 03:16 (twelve years ago) link
Man, this show tonight with Sun Araw and the Congos at Village Underground in Shoreditch was a blast. Such a great, fun vibe - everyone in the place was totally grinning the whole time. They played a bunch of the record (which worked really well live) and then a nice smattering of vintage Congos tunes, which were amazing. So fun.
― She Got the Shakes, Saturday, 23 June 2012 00:29 (eleven years ago) link
oh shit I completely forgot about that gig :(

Should I buy Ancient Romans? I like Heavy Deeds a lot. I like On Patrol, too, although not as much.

man Beach Head is such a rad album
― skeevy wonder (Drugs A. Money), Sunday, 14 October 2012 02:16 (eleven years ago) link
"The Inner Treaty" is my fave by this fellow so far--was already catching a heavy Lovely Music vibe off this before looking at this thread and seeing Robert Ashley get thrown down right off the bat...

listening to "on patrol," really digging this. i feel like i'm in space and a swamp at the same time.
― marcos, Thursday, 11 July 2013 18:59 (ten years ago) link
yeah, that's still the favorite. love inner treaty too, esp after ancient romans, which fucked with my biorhythms.

belomancie is as mystifying as it is enchanting, the first half i had no idea what was happening, the second half i still had no idea but it was suddenly the best stuff i've heard all year

Anyone seen him live? I have a foreign visitor friend who wants to have some authentic brooklyn experiences and whatnot and I'm debating between taking him to see Sun Araw vs Part Time on Thursday.
― 'arry Goldman (Hurting 2), Tuesday, 2 September 2014 19:37 (nine years ago) link
I should add that apparently he is stoned a lot.
― 'arry Goldman (Hurting 2), Tuesday, 2 September 2014 19:38 (nine years ago) link
Saw him and his band back The Congos at LPR a while back. They were quite good but honestly, I have no idea what this show will be like. I'm thinking though that it might be right up a stoner's alley.
― kwhitehead, Wednesday, 3 September 2014 17:34 (nine years ago) link
Definitely take the stoner to that, and hope he plays lots off On Patrol.

i found the frkwys icon give thank collaboration w/ the congos a little hard to get into at first but its rewards have been increasing lately for me

Stallones, PLURAL
― J. Sam, Monday, 5 January 2015 19:21 (nine years ago) link
what are folks' thoughts on the most recent one, belomancie? first listen it seemed a little less organic than the previous ones but i haven't spent a whole lot of time with it
― marcos, Tuesday, 6 January 2015 20:00 (nine years ago) link
I've never been into any sun araw recorded shit for some reason. I do like gengras' and alex grey's recordings though
― puff puff post (uh oh I'm having a fantasy), Tuesday, 6 January 2015 20:06 (nine years ago) link
I bought it (one of the relatively few CDs I bought in 2014) but have still never listened to it. So yeah, dunno.

Been jamming "Happy Song" hard since last Tuesday. A good tonic for these times.

Heavy Deeds, On Duty/Boat Trip and On Patrol seem now like early foundations of Sun Araw’s sound, and Icon Give Thank a grounded collaboration with The Congos.
Traveling further on his own, Ancient Romans, Belomancie, and Rock Sutra were very trippy and deconstructed, and listening back on them they all sound fantastic to me
― Dan S, Friday, 9 September 2022 01:33 (one year ago) link
those first three you mentioned + “ancient romans” are the ones i keep coming back to. wish they’d reissue “on patrol”, vinyl goes for silly money now
