The Weeks Island project began in 2018 when, itching for something during a break from his gig playing guitar for the Grammy-winning Cajun group Lost Bayou Ramblers, Jonny Campos ventured to his bandmate's house and recorded a series of deep, amoebic, ambient pedal steel passages across two afternoons. It wasn't all heavy, though: he paid that bandmate, Kirkland Middleton, in Cane's chicken strips. The tracks on Droste are named for bodies of water that no longer exist, their names wiped from maps thanks to the disintegrating shorelines of Southern Louisiana. That feeling of impermanence hangs over this record - the tracks don't so much begin and end as slip in and out of your consciousness. It can be a serene passive listen or a deep one that marinates long after the runout. Droste originally appeared on Nouveau Electric Records, run by another Rambler, Louis Michot, in 2020, digitally and on cassette. DFA picked it up via an connection from LCD Soundsystem's Korey Richey, and began a years-long process to cut the record to vinyl, a task made difficult by the sharp pedal steel and waves of harmonic distortion that color the music. After more than a few tries and the addition of three brand new tracks, Bob Weston at Chicago Mastering Service nailed it, and it was pressed beautifully at Furnace Record Pressing in Alexandria, VA.

Fernando Pulichino's slinky, syrupy dance floor records - all of which sit in a triple frontier death zone between rock, funk, and electronic sounds - have been cycling through DFA DJ bags for years, so it was only a matter of time until he made an official appearance on company letterhead. The original version of "I Got, She's Got," which appears here on B2, is a romping, scuzzed-out, howl-at-the-moon burner, but it's the remix (a little more clarity of purpose, a lot more arpeggios) that really goes and notched the A1 placement cut at 45RPM. Sandwiched between the two is another innocuous bomb, "She's Playing With Fire." Three tracks, all weapons, trust us. Written, produced, and performed by Fernando Pulichino in Buenos Aires. Saxophone on "She's Playing With Fire" by Gustavo Buchiniz. Mastered and cut by Bob Weston at Chicago Mastering Service. Pressed by Furnace Record Pressing in Alexandria, VA.

Weltpremiere eines bislang unbekannten Ella-Konzertes, aufgenommen mit dem Hollywood Bowl Pops Orchestra im August 1958!
Die berühmten Songbook-Alben von Ella Fitzgerald sind Evergreens des Jazzgesangs, die in regelmäßigen Neuauflagen und inzwischen auch digital immer wieder alte und neue Fans finden. Ellas mitreißende
Interpretationen der besten Songs von ikonischen Komponisten wie Irving Berlin, Rodgers & Hart, Cole
Porter und natürlich George & Ira Gershwin sind bis heute unübertroffen. Dass Ella Fitzgerald Ende der
1950er Jahre ihr Irving Berlin Songbook zusammen mit dem großartigen Arrangeur und Orchesterleiter
Paul Weston auch live aufgeführt hat, war längst in Vergessenheit geraten.
Jetzt wurde in der Privatsammlung von Ellas Manager Norman Granz ein Stereo-Mitschnitt dieses ganz
besonderen Abends entdeckt und von Produzent und Toningenieur Gregg Field bestmöglich digital aufbereitet. Auf LP, CD und digital laden Ella Fitzgerald, Paul Weston und das fabelhafte Hollywood Bowl Pops
Orchestra jetzt zum live aufgeführten Irving Berlin Songbook ein, ein Abend voller Swing, sentimentaler
Balladen, unsterblicher Ohrwürmer und Jazzgesang der Weltklasse
