Anne Adams - aka Grey Anne

Here’s a message from Anne Adams aka Per Se now known as Grey Anne. Got that?

After a long flirtation with various local labels, I’ve signed Grey Anne up with Greyday Records. Brand serendipity notwithstanding, I look forward to publishing with Greyday. Manager Todd seems devoted to supporting non-genre artists who work on their own terms, and Greyday’s roster includes road-tested talents Minmae and Southerly, and brave mavens LKN and Piney Gir.

The long-languishing Per Se album that I sometimes refer to as ‘the lost album of Atlantis,’ has been officially titled Grey Anne - facts n figurines. On November 11, its existence will be proven to skeptics and it will be available, once and for all, for listening and purchase.

These tracks have been wrangled together through several recording sessions over years of elapsed time. Looking forward to getting them out of my hair and into the world so I can focus on more recording of my latest work.

Portland’s Yacht has two new remixes, one each for Ratatat and Stereolab.

Ratatat - Mirando [Yacht Remix]

Stereolab - Self Portrait with Electric Brain [Yacht Remix]

Yordan Bagnell of Typhoon and Dhani Rosa of Eskimo and Sons fame come together under the moniker Doubledutch. They’ve recorded an album due for release on August 31st entitled Gungle Dungn after the studio in which it was recorded. And in the spirit of utter and complete transparency Doubledutch explain the creative process that they apply.

Doubledutch works like this:

a. Yordan (she, her, hers) writes a song on guitar, piano, accordion, cello, viola or any other instrument she understands.
b. She records said song into her laptop using its internal microphone and GarageBand.
c. She opens the Firefox internet browser and logs into www.gmail.com assuming the identity of jordandoubledutch@gmail.com

d. She types in something that makes no sense, like this: “hey dhani-here are some new things to listen to. The second one is really bare, and I couldn’t get my voice not to peak in the chorus without the rest sounding like a puddle. it’s too fast too. oh, and for the april 12th one, i was thinking you could sing it? only if you want to. i really want you to play your guitar on it though. sorry about the wierd glitchy noises. love, yordan”
e. She attaches said song to this “e-mail” and addresses “e-mail” to dhanidoubledutch@gmail.com.
f. Sending…
g. Later, Dhani (he, him, his) assumes the identity of dhanidoubledutch@gmail.com, receives “e-mail,” and reads.
h. He types something equally asinine in response, like this:
“Haha! That is some tight shit. I can’t believe you made that. That’s weed machine for sure. Come record that.”
i. Sending…
j. Days later, Yordan goes to the “Gungle Dungeon Recording Lair” where Dhani lives to record said song with super tech equipment and fresh gear using top-secret methods.
k. Dhani spends the next few months executing production work, which is also top-secret. The only thing known about it, is that he uses, primarily, two sound stretching techniques he pioneered. One is called “NoneYr” and the other is called “BeesWax.”
l. The whole process is repeated until a record has been created.
